The wedding project that I got picked up for the Spring issue of Craft Ideas has been published! So excited! You can purchase the issue at Jo Ann Fabrics or online here if you're interested. Lots of great projects in this issue. You can get the online edition or the paper edition, which I prefer because I love leafing through magazines during lunch.
Now that it's out there in the world, I thought I'd post the pic I took of the project. It's table decor for a wedding, I used a vase, filled it with glass pebbles and then dyed coffee filters to make a cabbage rose for the top. The favors are made of two filters and filled with candy and tied with ribbon. It's easy to make in bulk (like for a wedding) but I might make some in blue for my daughter's college grad party this year.
It looks different in the mag, just because they actually made table settings and put the favors with the vase. It looks so professional!
For the full instructions, you can pick up the mag or read it online (and your library might carry it). I had fun making these!
Happy Friday!

Sharing another project I made that didn't get picked up for publication (still happy that two projects did) but one that I like for Easter and Spring.
That's a long way off, but it's sunny today so I'm already thinking ahead to Spring, while wearing my winter coat and gloves and scarf :)
I used a coffee filter, cut in half and inked with orange and green inks. Then I folded it in half, added two kisses fat sides together so they looked like a carrot shapes, then just rolled them up, adhered with a glue dot and tied string at the top.
Easy and fun. I think they would be cute as radishes too. Set at each place at the Easter table or in a basket for fun favors.
The hardest part is waiting for the ink to dry. You can use unbleached filters (that are brown) but you'll need more ink and they'll look even more rustic.
If you think you might want to make these come spring time, just click the pin button on the photo (when you hover) and put it on your pinterest for later.
Happy Weekend!
