Stampin' Up! demonstrator that loves to make cards, scrapbook occasionally, sews when the kitchen table is cleared, and knits when my wrists don't hurt.
craft interests:
knitting, paper crafts, quilting, sewing
I saw on someone's blog to make the wax paper bags into heart shapes. Cut 2 hearts, sew leaving a slot to insert goodies (like candy, redhots, red m&ms) and sew closed. Then you can just rip the heart open to get to the goodies. :)
I recently discovered using pop cans for crafts and I've stamped on the silver part and I've used different shape punches like butterflies and scallops. The punches get sharpened every time.
I haven't been able to get these stars out of my mind. A few years back friends hung large stars from their vaulted ceiling. I don't remember where they got them, but they had a Pier 1 feel. The stars were creased like those barn stars, but they weren't one-sided like barn stars. They were completely 3D and not 5 pointed either. 6 and more points. Stunning. I don't know how one would go about making something from paper so large. But I'm happy you've done an article about fusible interfacing as an option for 3D home decor. Thank you!

I love books like these! I love to find a project that is quick and especially easy. I usually give the completed projects to friends.

Awesome! I desperately need to learn to sew BETTER! And be confident and then I could teach my daughter who is always asking to learn.

My kids are always being in little "treasures" from outside. It would be neat to get some ideas with what to do with them!
