Boho Flower Wreath Crown **Beacon**

I picked up this cute little wreath at the dollar store not really sure what I was going to do with it and my daughter popped it on her head like a crown and in that moment I knew we had to make it into a flower crown for her.

She helped me pick out the flowers and ribbons, and while I was making this for her she kept putting the flowers in my hair, hehe.  Here is a video tutorial on how I made this cute floral wreath crown.

There are so many uses for a crown like this.  Here are a few ideas I had:

Playing dress up
Flower Girl in a wedding
Renaissance Fairs
Halloween Costume

It even looks pretty just hanging on a wall for decoration!!

Supplies Used
Wreath - Dollar Tree
Flowers - Prima & Petaloo
Ribbons - May Arts
Glue - Beacon

Enjoy!!

Art Deco Winter Bottles **Paper House & Xyron & May Arts**

I love the look of decorated wine bottles, and when I saw these beautiful blue colored ones I knew I had to create something with them.  The blue reminded me of the cold, and I wanted some form of a decoration in my house post Christmas for the winter days before Valentines Day hit, so winter themed bottles it is!

I will admit my wine choosing as of late was determined by the color and shape of the bottle, but luckily the wine in these bottles was pretty good.......such a hard job, hahaha!!  

Here is a video tutorial of how I made these beautiful bottles.

Here is a close up of each bottle.

 

I used some of the most amazing products to create these snow lovelies the Paper House stickers and die cuts of all the wonderful snowflakes you see on the bottles are what brought these pretty winter bottles to life.

Winter Wonderland Die cut Sticker Pack (glittery Snowflakes), Baby It's Cold Outside Puffy Stickers, Snowflake 3D stickers, and Christmas Costume Puffy Stickers (snowflakes) were all used on the bottles.

Here are the ribbons and lace from May Arts Ribbons and to hold it all together Xyron Adhesives.

We do not get much snow here in Texas, so this is my way of bringing it home!

Supplies Used
Bottles
Stickers - Paper House
Ribbons - May Arts
Flowers - Prima
Pearl swirls - Prima
"Snow" - DecoArt
Adhesive - Xyron

Gift Boxes w/Detachable Ornament **Xyron & Pebbles** w/video

I love the look of pretty presents under the tree; nicely wrapped and just begging to be opened.  I always have tons of scrap paper, seems like I will never run out, but i never have wrapping paper, so why not turn your scrapbook paper into another use?  I hate to waste it though and just rip it apart, so I turned these boxes into reusable gift boxes boxes that will not ruin the pretty paper.  And to top it all off a pretty "bow" that is actually an ornament!!!

I just love the pretty colors of the new Pebbles Winter Wonderland Collection.  Full of pretty pinks, purples, teals, blues, and greens.  Below are the papers I used for the boxes.

Pebbles even has matching embellishments to go with the amazing papers!!  The Pebbles Rosettes and Snowflake Chips are so pretty and just make any project pop!!  What to use to hold it all together, Xyron of course!!  

I can just see these hanging on a friends tree!!

Below is a detailed video of how I made these two fun boxes and the matching ornaments.

Happy Holidays!!

Supplies Used
Boxes
Paper - Pebbles

Tip of the Day

Using delicate dies such as the Die~Namites "Beautiful Ornament" below, is very intricate and delicate.  How do you apply it?  Tape runners could pull and tear it, glue sticks are messy, so using a sticker maker is the best solution I have found so far.  Xyron and Stick-It are the two that I know of, and both work great.  I used the Xyron 3" Sticker Maker for this project.

Amazing new dies are now available in the store!!  Check them out HERE!
