Spring Decorations

Hey everyone, hope you are well! I have some Spring decorations to share with you today. I used Multicoloured string, Glue, Double sided tape, Sheer Puff Dots and Jam Pot Ribbons from Crafty Ribbons, jewellery findings and gems.

Crafty Ribbons Christmas Lavender bags

Hey everyone, hope you are well! I am here with some simple gifts to give at Christmas time. I used Crafty Ribbons Nisse Ribbon, fat quarters, felt, lavender and rice. You cut the fabric and ribbon to sew on the sewing machine inside out. You leave a little hole open and then I used a tidy tray to mix lavender and rice together and funnelled it into the little sachets. Lastly you hand sew them shut :)

Crafty Ribbons Summer Memories Hair Bow

Hey everyone, I hope you are well. I am here with a hair ribbon I made with some of my favourite ribbons ever, Tulip fields and Lots a Dots ribbon! As we head towards the season of giving its always a good idea to get ahead with some projects like these so you don't have to experience the stress of crafting at the last minute. That being said who am I kidding...I always end up stressing for that reason! :)

Crafty Ribbons Poppy Wreath

Hey everyone, hope you are well! I am here with a wreath I made using various Crafty Ribbons ribbon. I started by covering the wreath with plain white satin ribbon, then adding Spring Ribbons, Polka Dot Bias binding, All my love ribbon, and Nautical ribbon. I then added cute red buttons from my stash to finish :)

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments! :)

Butterfly Box with felt lining

Hey everyone, I hope you are well! I am here with a gift I made for my friend's special birthday. I found some gorgeous napkins in a supermarket that I couldn't bear to use just wiping up so I decided to use them to cover some plain wooden boxes :)






I put mod podge on the wood then carefully folded the napkin down onto the wood and tapped any air bubbles out gently. I then left it to dry. On the top was a heart shape void. I didn't want to see inside the box from the outside so I found some pretty paper that matched the butterflies and placed it in the top of the lid, then covered this with thick cardstock on the inside for strength. I varnished the outside of the box and the heart cut out with more mod podge and left to dry. I then added a butterfly cut from felt over the heart.
 Lastly I cut panels of felt in a similar colour to the butterflies on the outside and covered the inside.

Crafty Ribbons Nautical Brooches

Good morning everyone, hope you are well! I am here with some Nautical Brooches I made for Crafty Ribbons using Nautical Ribbon and Grosgrain Ribbon. To avoid the bulk of tying bows I folded and glued them and then used a brooch blank on the back :)

Crafty Ribbons Alkaline Trio Only Love Canvas

Hey everyone, hope you are well! I am here to share a canvas I made for a trio friend for our monthly postal swap :) I chose 'Only Love' as my inspiration and I started by creating the lyric quote and framing it with a wooden frame. I then added jute ribbon as a mat for underneath.
I used a stencil for a tree and four different colours of tim holtz distress ink then covered it in fabric mod podge. I then embossed some areas using vintage embossing powder. I used texture paste in the top corner and then stamped over it with a script stamp.

Next I added the lace from Crafty Ribbons and the 'love' wood decoration over the top. I positioned my lyric frame. Lastly I added a trio charm I made using shrink plastic and tiny butterflies I had cut from drink cans.
