Twig Heart With Pink Roses

Hello,

They are calling for bad storms in our area today

so I wanted to share this twig heart wreath I just made

with you while I am able to get online.

I painted the twig heart shape white

and added silk roses, babies breath,

pearls, feathers and a wired pink organza bow.

I also added a pink mushroom bird

in a nest made of pearls!

If I was a bird I would love this nest!

Matthew 6:26 - Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Love,

Beverly

Another Mother's Day Gift Idea... Decorated Candle

Hello,
This is another easy gift idea for Mother's Day. I purchased a pre- poured candle from the dollar tree and decorated it with lace, pearls, ribbon and tiny silk flowers.

This takes about 10-15 minutes to complete.

Materials Needed:
Purchased Pre-poured Candle
Lace
Ribbon
Strand of Craft Pearls
Small Silk Flowers
Glue Gun/ Glue

You will start by gluing a piece of lace around the rim of the glass candle holder.

Then you will add a piece of ribbon and glue together on the ends.
Then you will add a string of pearls and glue together on the ends.
Make a small bow and glue this in the center of where the ribbons meet to hide the glue.
Add a few small silk flowers to the center of the bow.
You can also add a little lace "skirt" around the bottom of the candle holder also by wrapping the lace around and glueing together at the ends.
Then wrap a strand of pearls around on top of the lace.

*** Please be sure that none of the flowers, lace or ribbon are above the top of the candle so that they do not catch fire if the candle is lit! ***

These would make a pretty Mother's Day Gift, Birthday Gift or would be beautiful for Wedding Favors or Centerpiece's on the banquet table.

I hope you enjoyed this craft and thank you for stopping by.

Mother's Day Gift Idea...Romantic Ivy Bowl Candle Holder

Hello,

Today I want to share with you how to make a beautiful candle holder from a glass ivy bowl and a glass votive candle holder. These are so easy and only take about 15 minutes to complete.

I purchased the ivy bowl and candle holder at The Dollar Tree. Hint: While you are in the store make sure that the candle holder will fit inside of the ivy bowl.

Materials Needed:
Glass Ivy Bowl
Glass Votive Candle Holder
Piece of Lace
Piece of Ribbon
String of Craft Pearls
Feathers
Small Silk Roses
Candle or Battery Operated Tea Light Candle
Glue Gun/ Glue

First make sure that your ivy bowl and candle holder are clean and all stickers are removed.

Fill the ivy bowl with your choice of feathers.

Using your hot glue gun apply 4 dots of glue around the top of the ivy bowl and insert the candle holder quickly before the glue dries.

Take a piece of lace and wrap around the ivy bowl and glue the ends together.

Then wrap a piece of ribbon around the lace and glue the ends.

And then you would also take a strand of pearls and wrap around on top of the ribbon and glue the ends.

Then make a little bow out of the ribbon and glue this in the center where the lace, ribbon and pearls meet. (to hide where you glued)

Then add a string of pearls to the center of the bow to dangle down.

And then glue your two rosebuds in the center of the bow.

Add a battery operated tea light or a votive candle and you are done!

These are so versatile! Instead of feathers you could add buttons and little spools of thread tied off with a measuring tape, potpourri, mini kitchen items, old jewelry... the possibilities are endless!!!
This makes a beautiful and inexpensive gift esp. for Mom for Mother's Day and would also be a beautiful table centerpiece for a wedding.

I hope you enjoyed this craft and thank you for stopping by my blog.

How To Make A Valentine's Day Gift Bag From A Recycled Pop Tart Box

Today I will be sharing with you how to make a Valentine's Day gift bag from a recycled pop tart box.

This is a great way to reuse empty boxes and scraps of wrapping paper and have a beautiful one of a kind gift bag. I used old Victorian Post Card Images that I found on the web and printed them out on plain white copy paper.

Materials Needed:

Empty Pop Tart Box
Wrapping Paper
Glue Stick
All Purpose Glue
Glitter
Scissors
Valentine Image's (Old cards, Post Cards or Printed Image's)
12 inch piece of ribbon
Embelishments of your choice (lace, buttons, charms, etc.)

Here are the instructions:
Cut the top flaps off the top of an empty pop tart box.

Then sit the box on the wrapping paper and trace around the bottom of the box. You will then cut the paper about a 1/2 inch wider around than what you traced. Glue the bottom of the box using your glue stick and adhere the paper to the bottom of the box. Then glue about 1/2' above the bottom of the box and fold the paper up around the sides making sure all paper is flat against the box.

Then you will lay the box down sideways and measure about 1 inch longer than the sides and cut the paper making sure you leave enough length to wrap around all 4 sides of the box. (Tip: I have found it is easiest if you use the precut edge of the wrapping paper to go around the bottom because it is strait.) Using your glue stick glue all the sides of the box and wrap the paper around making sure all paper is flat. Then you will fold the extra top 1" of paper down and glue to the inside of the box.

Take a Valentine Card image and glue to the box. You can use old cards, post cards or their are lots of free downloadable images on the web. On this one I put an image on the front and a different image on the back. Next you will use all purpose glue around the image and anywhere else you want to add glitter and then add the glitter and shake off excess and let dry. You could also add buttons, charms, pearls or anything else you may like.

Once the glue is dried you will punch a hole on each side of the box for the handle. Finish off with a piece of ribbon about 12 inches long. Thread the ribbon on each side from the outside to the inside and tie with a knot.
