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). =)

ReplyDeleteHow do you manage to tear your fabric ribbons so evenly? I dread to think what mine would look like, lol.
ReplyDeleteLove the new nests, very imaginative.
These are beautiful. You are very talented. If I come across any change purses I will contact you. I am here via Blessed Nest but will be returning. I will also be visiting your online shop.
