Burlap Pinwheel Gift Bag with Jenifer Cowles
Jenifer shares a whimsically embellished gift bag. I love how she topped with a burlap pinwheel and several layers of our rosettes.
She reports, "These were so much fun to make, take some burlap and create a pinwheel, use stacking rosettes for the center and a straw for the stick. All tied up with some fabric and ribbons and you have the perfect party topper for your goodie bags."

Soap Bag with Connie Mercer
Today's gorgeous vintage-style technique comes from DT Member Connie Mercer. Connie stamped on one of our muslin bags with Ranger Archival Ink and a Darkroom Door stamp to create this one-of a kind bag. Once she embellished it with sunny seam binding, some vintage trims, and a burlap butterfly, Connie added a bar of sweet smelling soap and had the perfect gift to make a friend's day brighter. On the other hand, this project may just be too gorgeous to give away!

He's a Rule Challenger with Alyssa McGrew
Today Alyssa is here sharing a layout made with some of her favorite items from the shop. Alyssa says:
My son is all boy, often covered in dirt and clutching a bug in his hand (or trying to hide one in his room). He is also one to challenge the rules. All the rules. So, on this layout, I broke a few rules and used flowers and glitter. He rolled his eyes and shrugged when he saw it, but I really don't think he minded.
Alyssa used burlap stars and glitter stars from the shop to make this adorable layout that has just enough classic boy to make it stand out.

Retro Christmas Garland with Connie Mercer
Today's project is a retro Christmas garland made by Connie Mercer, and it comes with a tutorial! Let's get started!
Curtsey Boutique Supplies:
Red and Green soda straws
Other Products:
Buttons
Instructions:
1. These are the items you will need
to make this festive “retro” garland. You will need about 40”
of the red bakers twine for the garland.
2. I used 4 straws and cut them into
pieces, about 1” to 1.5” in size.
3. I tied a button on the end so I
wouldn’t lose my garland, as I threaded the straws and buttons on.
4. Just as the photo shows I started
adding the straws and buttons. About every four or five straws I put
the string through both button holes so the button would be flat, for
a different look. That is up to you.
5. I continued this same process and
adding a button at the end also. I put a dab of hot glue on the end
of the button where I tied it off.
6. I took the mittens die cuts and
glued them together with the red bakers twine~making five sets of
ornaments. My initial thought for a small Country Christmas tree. I
just need to get a small tree! Hope you enjoyed this Holiday
project!!!
