Jar of Lucky Stars

Lucky stars are so fun to make! The basics are: grab a strip of paper, fold at 108 degrees continually to make a pentagon, push the edges in to pop the middle. You can find detailed instructions here.

Here I've used StickerKitten's Unicorn Fairground collection not just for the stars but also to decorate a jar to hold them.

Any excuse to make a shrink plastic unicorn, right?!

I also stamped a strip of vellum with the word unicorn to label the jar. I used tiny glue dots to adhere the vellum to the glass - this gives the cleanest finish possible when combining seethrough glass and mostly seethrough vellum.

You can grab your StickerKitten supplies here!

Linking up at Inspire Me Mondays!

Thanks for looking!

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...

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. ...
