yarn word

i also made some yarn pom poms to match with the yarn word. here they are hung up in the hotel room.

mini bunting

i made mini bunting with washi tape. it was pretty simple. just fold over the twine and cut. you can make the end pointy etc. i then pasted the bunting onto a card.

cupcake toppers

here are the cupcake toppers in action!

goodie bags

so the little felt petals that i made went on goodie bags for a bachelorette party. they attached a itinerary for the weekend as well as a label that says vegas survival kit. i got the free printable from here and ended up using this font.

felt bouquet

ever since i got this felt bouquet adorning one of my gifts years ago, ive always wanted to make one. those anthropologie people are so crafty!so i actually bought this circle puncher but it didnt punch through the felt sheet correctly. i used coral, orange, red and yellow because those are the bride's wedding colors. i cut the circles by hand then i cut two slits in the middle. then i took a ribbon and strung it through the slits, alternating which way the "petals" faced. Pretty simple, but the effect is pretty nice

yarn wire words

i saw this tutorial and tried my own. boy was it tiring. next time, shorter words and thicker yarn. this 7 letter word took me about 3 hours to wrap completely and it still has uneven spots. i didnt use wire reinforced clothesline. instead, i bought some thick floral wire from michaels. there were some spots like the loop in the Y that i had to go back to with another piece of yarn. i guess i couldve just continued wrapping but that wouldve made for some really uneven spots. i was going to do the word bachelorette but im just so tired from this word. haha

cupcake toppers

i make some cupcake toppers for an upcoming bachelorette with some washi tape i just folded the tape over a toothpick and cut. voila! there were some where i messed up and the tape crinkled. but oh well. i then went over and accented them with the other colors of tape.

plants

i havent been crafting that much lately. i do have a japanese masking tape/washi tape project i want to do but havent gotten around to yet. surprisingly, ive been planting a lot of plants. the terrariums i started are kinda weak. i think its because i didnt put activated charcoal at the bottom to kill mold and dirty stuff.

i planted some more cacti, some herbs, and peonies!

hopefully they all live and thrive since im not known to have a green thumb
