Back To School

Hello,

Well it's that time again when most kids have already or will soon be starting back to school.  

My son starts back on Monday :)

♥Loved that one :)

I have been searching for something special to do for him for his first day back and thought I would share some fun things I have found.

Easy Romantic Pearl Covered Votive Holder

Hello,
This is an easy votive candle holder made by wrapping a glass votive cup with a strand of craft pearls.

Materials Needed:
Glass Votive Cup
Approx. 3 yards of Pearls
(depending on what size pearls used,,, for this project I used 3m - the tiny ones)

To begin remove any stickers from the votive and make sure it is clean and dry.

Starting at the center bottom of the votive cup apply a dot of low melt glue and make a tight circle with the strand of pearls.

Continue glueing and wrapping the pearls until the bottom of the votive cup is covered.

Turn the votive up and continue glueing and wrapping until you have the entire cup covered.

Add a candle or battery operated tealight candle and you have a beautiful romantic votive holder.

These would be beautiful for a wedding table centerpiece and would also make a great gift item.

These look so pretty when they are lit with the light shining through.






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

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.

Easy No Sew Felt Egg Ornament Tutorial

Hello,

I know I am late with this post since Easter is past but I still wanted to share these easy ornaments with you.
Materials Needed:
Felt
10" Piece of Ribbon
Glue Gun
Lace
Pearls
Batting
Egg Shape Template (I used a cookie cutter)

To begin you would trace and cut out two pieces of felt in an egg shape. Then you would glue the piece of ribbon to the top inside of one of the pieces of felt. 

Next glue the lace around the edge of the felt.

Then you glue both pieces of felt together leaving a small opening to insert the batting.

I  added some pearls to the front in the shape of a cross but you could also use buttons or embroider something on these.












These would make lovely gifts for the ladies at church, for someone in a nursing home or to decorate for a church banquet.  They would also be perfect for a teen Sunday School craft for Easter.

Thank you for looking and I hope you enjoyed these.

Have a great day!

Love,

Beverly
