These little creations marry some of my favorite stitches into yummy wrist candy. I have a bit of a crush on those nubby little french knots. Now that I'm comfortable with the mechanics, I look forward to experimenting with different color schemes and offering them as affordable collectibles in my future shop. Life is good!
Make something good today
It's the end of the school year, which means life is all about end-of-year celebrations, concerts, plays, tests, vacation planning, summer sports sign-ups...the list goes on. It's busy, but I still like to squeeze in a fun project in between life and work from time to time.
Over the holidays I made a fabric garland for my fireplace. It's a quick and super easy craft that's perfect for adding a bit of whimsical flair. You can hang these garlands just about anywhere...over a bed, window, fireplace.
Yesterday, I made a mini garland for my new creative space. I like to buy those little leftover fabric squares, snip a tiny cut about every inch or two and rip them (don't cut) into strips. You don't have to worry about rough edges or dangling strings, it just adds to the charm. Fold the strips in half, lay twine on top, pull the edges through, and repeat until you reach the length you want the garland to be. It's just that simple!
