Tissue Pocket

I have a very quick fabric stash buster project for you today. I love making these they are so quick and simple, they hold a mini packet of tissues.

The video on how I make mine is on my youtube channel Here

Hope you like it.

Heat Transfer Flock

I found what I thought was heat transfer vinyl in my cupboard last night and had these baby bib blanks, so thought I would do a quick project this morning, after cutting this I discovered it was in fact heat transfer flock, so it has a kind of fluffy feel.

First I designed my works in Inkscape, and flipped them as you have to cut this stuff on be wrong side.

I saved my SVG file and converted it in Canvas and transferred my file onto my USB stick and cut it with the SNC. #gallery-3602-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-3602-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-3602-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-3602-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Simple Gift Wrapping Ideas

I am not really into themed christmas trees, I prefer my tree to be more traditional looking, so it has a variety of baubles some bought, some that have been gifts and some handmade by my daughter, but I do like nice wrapping paper, this year I have decided I will experiment and I am using brown paper, jute string and doilies, (as the words of the song say “brown paper packages tied up with string, these are a few of my favourite things”. Sorry if you are now all bursting into Julie Andrews mode and being taken back to the world of Sound of Music!

So presents wrapped in brown paper, tied with jute string, then embellished with the recipients initials cut in red card using the ScanNCut some brown bags and small gifts have red doilies and the bigger ones have a handmade hessian/burlap bow.

What do you think, I think they look quite nice.

If you want to know how i did the bows read on.

You will need:-

Hot glue gun

Stapler

Jute String

Hessian/Burlap – 1 piece cut to 10 x 2 inches and 1 piece cut to 6 x 1.5 inches
