Easter Goodies II


 
Here are my finished Easter Goodies.


I wanted to give gifts for Easter but nothing big or expensive, and nothing that parents frown upon!!  You end up getting loads of chocolate that lasts for months and forget the reason behind it all.  I want to celebrate the reason of Easter so giving nothing didn't work for me, and so I came up with these.





The plastic is recycled from packs of papermania buttons.  This tells you I buy too many buttons!!


Each packet has a personalised tag.


The first three use paper from Papermania Spring Life Colossal Paper Pack and seam binding to tie on the tags.


This one uses Papermania Sunshine Collection paper.  This is one of my favourite papers, you know one that you keep and keep because you don't want to cut in to it!




And this one uses Imaginisce Black Tie Optional Kitsch'n Floral paper.




J doesn't do chocolate so I made a phone charm.  A red star, (she is a star to me!) a J, and some swarovski crystals.




The rest of the girls had some gemstone drops from Hotel Chocolat.  There were leftovers which was a bit of a bonus for me!  :)

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
