Hot Pink & Rustic Favors!

Havin’ a party? Here is a fun idea for centerpieces and favor boxes that are quick to make, look great and won’t cost you a lot of money:

I used these inexpensive supplies from Papermart: Scrunch Roll With Glitter,  Burlap Jute Mesh Ribbon,  corsage ribbon,  Frosted Flower Top Boxes, Glue Dots, bakers twine, large unstrung merchandise tags, homemade shimmer spray, a waterbased marker, stamp and stamping ink, and wood buttons. As always you can substitute supplies for what you have on hand or for items that match you’r theme. Make it your own! Here is a quick video to show you how easy it is, have a look:

Let me know if you have any questions! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and til next time happy crafting!

WOYWW: Eat Your Heart Out!

Hello WOYWWers! For those of you who don’t know WOYWW stands for What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday, a weekly crafty party where we all snoop around to our fellow crafter’s desks (so we don’t have to feel so bad about our own hording and messes LOL!) You can join the fun on Julia’s blog, don’t be shy now! OK, on my desk today are some goodies that just arrived from Paper Mart:

I will be using these products in many upcoming video tutorials. When I saw the Baker’s Twine at Papermart I fell in love, their big spools (notice the brand, it’s The Twinery, yep, the same brand the scrapbook stores sell for $15 a spool) cost between $8.60-$10.75 a 240 yard roll. The cool thing about Paper Mart is that you get discounts the more you spend so I recommend going in on a shipment with a friend or two so you can save big! I also got some coffee bags, tags and flat tins. I can’t wait to whip up some Christmas cheer!

I want to wish a happy Thanksgiving (in the US) and safe travels to everyone! Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!

Let’s Make a Tulle Tu-Tu! {Video Tutorial!}

Happy Monday folks! I had a fun weekend, I went to a Halloween party Saturday night and I got to wear the Tulle Tu-Tu I made the other day:

I used Orange and Black Polka Dot Tulle from Paper Mart. This is an inexpensive project that only took minutes to make. I think if you made smaller tutus in pinks and purples they would be a great craft fair sellers as well. Watch the video to see how I did it:

The skirt was really fun to wear too because it was so flouncey and bouncy. I felt like a Halloween princess LOL! Every girl should have some tulle in her life 😀 Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
