Cookie Cutter Whimsy


Here is my first project with May's Glittery Hands Box.



Obviously, the glitter mix is quite high on the list of ‘I NEED to play with this first’ that forms when you first look through the kit.  Also vying for top spot this month is the cookie cutter. I combined the two for this little whimsy trinket.


The kit contained a couple of 3D stickers – I borrowed the acetate backing that they were attached to and stick it to the back of the cookie cutter.  I used matte accents for this as I was awaiting a new bottle of glossy accents. Any strong clear glue would do the trick.

Once that was fully dry I trimmed the excess acetate from around the edges.   I used an anti-static bag around the cookie cutter to help reduce the glitter sticking where I didn’t want it.  My new bottle of glossy accents had arrived by now so I flooded the inside with a layer just less than 2mm thick and popped a layer of glitter on top.  It’s quite important to let this dry fully before carrying on.


I trimmed the little sentiment labels and cut out one of the tea cups from the exclusive paper and added them to the front of the cookie cutter.


It looks great with a light behind it; it really brings out the colour and sparkle of the glitter.

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.   ...
