Wedding Crafting

HOME

This June will be our first anniversary!  June 22nd will be our happy day to have the top layer of cake and think about how much fun we had on that day last year.  The other day I was looking at our cake topper and thought it is too cute to just have sitting around.  So of course I made a craft project out of it.

Our cake was a simple yet elegant white, dot cake.  I LOVED it!  And not only did it look great, but tasted delicious.

  

As you can see, our cake topper was our monogram.  I needed to do something with it, how could I not?

Luckily, the hubs was able to cut off the point for me to do something with it.

I headed over to the craft store and walked around to see if anything caught my eye.  I found some burlap and though that the black monogram would look great.  And I found a great looking frame.

I think it turned out pretty well.  Now just to find a place to put it!

 Have you done a new craft lately?

Have you repurposed something?

Ribbon Tree Decoration

HOME

Are you looking for a wonderful Christmas craft for your home during these colder nights?  I have found an easy, cute, fun craft that doesn't need many supplies.  This ribbon tree is great for the holidays and looks cute.

What you will need:

Styrofoam Cone

Pins

Ribbons

Scissors

First figure out the length of the ribbon you would like to use for the tree.  I made these on the smaller size.  It would be fun to make a set of three trees with all different lengths.

After you cut your ribbons to the desired length you can start to apply to the cone.

Wrap the ribbon to make a loop and stick the pin through the top and place on the cone.  For the first row, make sure the ribbons match up with the bottom of the cone.

After the first row continue up overlapping the ribbon not to see the pins.

Once completed you will have a ribbon tree!

I added a star to the top of this one and used glue for the top row so there would be no pins showing.  I had so much fun putting this together.  I may make more with the different ribbon lengths.

Enjoy! Have fun crafting.
