What you’ll need:         

• Orange felt – the thicker the better
• Burlap ribbon
• Coloured thread and needle
• Hot glue gun and sticks
• Green paint and sponge

Draw three carrots onto some orange felt and then cut them out.

Use the embroidery thread to make lines through the carrot, add as many lines as you like.

Glue the carrots together at the tops, overlapping slightly, so the carrots spread out. Add some burlap ribbon by piling it on top of itself to create volume.

Add a green bow.

If you like, sponge some light and dark green paint onto the burlap ribbon and let dry, in order to create some depth to the plain ribbon.

Enjoy your new Easter door decoration and Happy Crafting!

What You’ll Need:

• Six 4” square wood plaques
• Three 2.5” wood letter H’s in white
• Three 2.5” wood letter O’s in white
• Red and white patterned ribbon
• Red paint
• Paintbrush
• Scissors
• Glue

How to make your own Wooden Christmas Banner:

Paint all of the wood squares with the red paint and then let dry.

Glue the red squares to a length of the ribbon (leave the ribbon attached to the spool during this step). Use a measuring tape or ruler to make sure the squares are evenly spread, we spaced them 2” apart.

Attach the letters to the squares to spell HO HO HO.

Finally, cut the ribbon from the spool at a length of 12” from the top square. Fold the ribbon back on itself and then glue the cut end to the back of the top square to create a loop to hang the banner with.

We hope you had fun making our fun Christmas banner. Don’t forget to share your creations with us in the comments, happy crafting!

What You’ll Need:

• A deck of playing cards (or two, one deck of cards will make a 60” banner)
• Six or more red, white and pink ribbons in different patterns and thicknesses
• A hole punch

How to make your own Sweet Heart Cards Garland:

Choose which ribbon you are using as the ‘string’ for your garland and then cut a 60″ length from that spool.

Punch two holes in the opposite top corners of each of the heart cards.

Thread each card onto the ‘string’ of the garland and then continue until all of the cards are on the garland, leaving about 1” between the cards.

Cut lengths about 6” long from the other ribbons.  In between each of the cards strung on the garland, tie three lengths of ribbon in a knot. Repeat this step for the entire length of the garland.

We’ve fallen in love with this festive Valentines Heart Cards Garland and we hope you do too, happy crafting!

What You’ll Need:

• Light green stiffened felt (one sheet for each chair sash)
• Dark green stiffened felt (one sheet for each chair sash)
• Burlap ribbon
• Scissors
• Fabric glue
• Circle template or cup
• Sewing machine (hand sewing will work too)

Measure your burlap ribbon around the back of your chair, it should be snug but not too tight as you will need to be able to slip the sash onto the chair back without it slipping down. Leave an inch or two of seam allowance, and for space to adjust the size if needed.

Take a ribbon length and fold it on  half onto itself so the the ends meet, making sure to fold the good sides facing each other and then sew the ends together.

Use the circle template (or a glass) to create a clover on the dark green felt by tracing two half circles for each leaf and then add a stem.

The dark green clover will be a stencil to trace the shape onto the light green felt sheets. Cut out the light green clovers about ½” smaller than the traced outline.

Glue the light green clovers on top of the dark green ones and then let dry.

Attach the stacked clover to the burlap sash bands with fabric glue.

Slip the clover chair sashes onto your chair and have a great St. Patrick’s Day, happy crafting!

The materials for this project were bought from a local department store, the fabric we used is actually a sparkly table cloth! It’s certainly amazing what you can find if you use your imagination. You could also check out your local craft or fabric store, they always have a lot of selection.

DIY Christmas Card Wall Display and Pin Board Idea

What you’ll need:

• Foam board (36” x 24”)
• Christmas fabric or table cloth (as we used here)
• Mod Podge glue
• Hot glue gun/glue sticks
• Ribbon
• Scissors
• Ruler/measuring tape
• 2 foam brushes
• Push pins

Firstly, measure and and cut your fabric to fit the foam board.  Leave about two inches of material to wrap around the edges of the board. Cut the corners of the fabric to remove any bulkiness, therefore resulting in a nicer fit that’s easier to glue down. 

Secondly, using the foam brush apply a thick layer of Mod Podge to the back of the foam board.  After that, fold the fabric over the edges to glue it in place.  Continue this process until all of the fabric is secured.  Set the board aside and allow it to dry completely. 

Once the mod podge has dried you can add the ribbon.  Measure the lengths you need and cut it to fit. Then, secure the ribbon onto the board with the hot glue gun. Be sure to measure the spacing between each ribbon.  Double check with a card!
