Frugal Spring Trim, New Nests, & Crafting Tip

Sweet Spring ribbons made of torn fabric strips, and a 'Spring' stamp.
How easy is that?

Fun to enclose in a card or gift,
or just sit around and look cute and cheery.

I had a great time getting some creating done this week.


One of a kind nest in glass lantern.
Sitting on shredded paper and little pieces of mossy limbs.
Real feathers in the nest,
and a little pearl trims the lantern.
A perfect finish.

Display it open or closed.

Another new nest.
This one is in a coin purse.
Took me forever to find one, but I love it!
(anyone have some they want to get rid of??)

Sweet little tag, and the egg is painted to match the colors in the purse.

New mini box.

And more.

More mini boxes with my teabag roses.
(limited number now for sale, if interested email me.)

Like the pearl added?

Here is my tip for doing it.
I use hot glue.
They are tiny to hold on to, and maybe no tweezers or pliers around?
Try putting the pearl on a small piece of wire.
Can be a pin, needle, or even paper clip if hole is big enough.
Keep it at the end of the sire.
Dab the hot glue on, or whatever glue you use,
and drop it onto the project.
No glue gun burns, or messy fingers.

Totally Frugal!

Even my Granddaughter has learned to be thrifty.
While we were cleaning, she thought this feather duster
needed to be thrown away,
and then she said,
"Unless you want to us it to feather one of your nests!!"
Is that great or what?
(Hope she does not see this picture of herself.
I made her laugh. Not her best pic ever). =)

Thanks for joining in on all these special events today.
Please go check out the other lovely posts,
and many things to our great hostesses.
