Easter decoration

I saw this kind of embellishments for Christmas and I thought This National craft month would be a great opportunity to try it! So I decided it to make an Easter ornament instead...but you can make it for no specific occasion! Just for decoration or a fun project with kids!

Love Birds

During a visit at Michaels, these little birdies called me!
They are like paper macher (craft paper) bird shape; and there is also butterflies and fruits.
I immediately imagine them with some music scores on them!
I was too impatient to start my project and forgot to take a picture of the supplies!
So, you'll need:
- some paper macher shape
- white and black acrylic paint
- modpodge
- paper napkin with music score or old music sheet
- foam paintbrush
- varnish
- embellishments

First paint your bird (or other shape) with one or 2 layers of white paint

 While the paint dry, tear some pieces of your paper

When the paint is dry, start to glue your pieces on the bird

Cover the whole bird with your paper...

 Add a layer of modpodge and let it dry.

When it's dry apply some black paint on the beak and the wing

 let it dry

Here is a detail of the painting

Apply one or 2 layers of varnish

Grab some embellishments and have fun!

 Here I've added a black ribbon around their neck, a white feather cut in half , a little rose

and some black half pearl on the eyes

 

 and a silver pearl on the ribbon

 They will make a lovely decoration for a wedding or a romantic living room!

Hope you've enjoyed!

St Patrick notecard

We cannot have everything for every celebration! But...You can use your other supplies to create a St Patrick little notecard!
Here I used some Christmas paper, baby theme paper, and a valentine punch!

 Grab ...
- some green scrap paper (here a Christmas paper!)
- a piece of 2" x 4" cardstock (or bigger) fold in half
- a background paper a little bit smaller than your cardstock (here a baby theme paper)
- some glue, glue dots,
- ink
- marker, gel pen
- embellishement

 Punch 4 hearts, ink them around and fold them in half to give them some dimension.

Ink your background paper - 

You can also cut it small and add a dark green cardstock to it.

Apply a glue dot where you want your 4 leaf clover to be...

and place the petals.

Draw a stem and outline it with a gel or black pen.

Glue your background paper to your notecard and add 

a little gemstone...(if you want!)

Enjoy your St Patrick little notecard...

Tiny ric rac roses for accessories

I wanted to try to make a ric rac rose but I didn't have Jumbo ric rac ribbon (yet!)... so I decided to try with the small one that I had and find out that that it came out really cute!

All you need is
- 6" or 7" of small ric rac ribbon
- 1 pair of scissors
- some glue dots...

Isn't it cute?!

 Fold you ribbon in half and put a glue dot in the middle.
You can also start with 2 length and glue them to start.

Start interlacing the ribbon like a braid.

You will end with this, it's ok if it twist a bit!

Then add a glue dot and start to roll it,

add glue dot each time you feel that it need to be hold.

At the end keep a small piece; add a glue dot at the bottom and close it.

Now you have tiny roses to embellish any accessories or scrapbook need!

Simple Bobby pins...

Brooch or barrette
