For a sweet lil baby

 

When I was at home (meaning my parents...home is where your mother is? right.), I was able to attend my friends baby shower. It was her first baby and I was so excited for her when she had her sweet baby girl. I wanted to make her something special. I had seen this project from midwestern girl and pinned it quite awhile ago waiting for the perfect opportunity to whip it up. And this was my chance! I called my friend to see what color scheme she had went with in the baby's room, I didn't want to be totally off with my colors. And she said pink and grey, perfect!

It was as simple as using a butterfly punch on an array of papers, lining them up on a background sheet, adhering each one with a gluedot and propping up the wings (if you use a shadowbox, otherwise they would be flat). I wrote out babies name in pencil and then hand stitched over top. And stuck it in the frame. 
I absolutely love how it turned out!


I also made her a Baby Moments Pail. This time I used washi tape instead of paper (inspired by a friend who had made pails up for teachers gifts, filled with goodies. Thanks Candace!). Check out my other pail here. Again I stuck with the main color scheme of grey and pink.



 

Happy Wednesday!

Washi Tape Candle Holders

A few weeks ago I recieved an order of washi tape in the mail (so excited). I couldn't wait I had to use it some way, some how.
So I made these cute little candle holders.

To do this super easy project you will need:
Washi tape
cleaned baby food jars (with label removed)
a craft punch
scissors
wax paper


Here's a quick picture tutorial for ya,

Stick your washi tape in strips to a length of wax paper. Make sure it is long enough to wrap around the jar (My band was 3 widths of tape). In the center punch out your image. Then carefully peel off the washi tape and wrap around the jar, cutting off any excess. 
That's it, throw a candle in and light it up!

 Or... I was thinking these would be really cute gifts if you filled them with candy and decorated the lid too. 
Also using larger jars would be cute too...the options are unlimited.


I also decorated my laptop with washi tape. I just love it!


Happy Tuesday!
