Magical Rose Decor

Can we talk about the new Beauty and the Beast trailer that just came out??

I am so excited.  Can't wait!  

For all you Beauty and the Beast fans and straight up "Disnerds" out there

looking for the perfect project to keep you busy during the long wait or just

to spruce up your home with a little magic, this is the one for you!

It's fun and it will definitely be a conversation starter and will definitely make

a perfect gift for the holidays.

 

Supplies Needed

Glass Dome

Silk Rose(s)

Floral Cutters

Suji Cord

Clear Tape

Glue Dots

Firefly Lights

First, cut the rose to the length you want.  Remember, it needs to be short enough to be suspended in the dome.  Make sure it is at least two inches shorter than the height of the dome.

Second, cut a short length of suji cord and attach to the larger petals toward the underside of the rose using a glue dot.  Pinch the glue dot and one end of the suji between two large petals.

Next, tape the other end of the cord to the top of the dome.  

If you have a few stray rose petals or another rose on hand, cut a couple of petals off of it and put it on the base.

After that, put the dome back onto its wooden base, curl some firefly 

lights around your rose and Voila! 

   

I hope everyone has a wonderful time making these!

Chewie Valentine

Hi, Crafters!

Can you guys believe that Valentine's Day is two weeks away?  So fast!

We've all been getting into the Love Day spirit at our stores; writing love notes on the tile floors with acrylic markers, painting up some of our new wood palettes in rosy colors and 

Mod Podging some Valentine's scrapbook paper onto our new Snippets chipboard heart shapes!  Today, I'll show you how to make a really cute and simple Valentine inspired by our favorite Wookie.

Supplies Needed

Snippets Heart Lock & Key Chipboard set

Brown Eyelash Yarn 

Black Paint

Light Green Paint 

Brown and Silver Cardstock Scraps

Scissors

Hot Glue Gun

All you need to do is hot glue an end of yarn to the bottom of the heart-shaped chipboard and wrap continuously until the entire heart is covered in yarn.  A few dabs of hot glue here and there while wrapping will help keep things secure.  Once that's done, cut a 1/2" x 3 1/2" strip out of the brown paper and hot glue small squares of silver paper onto it.  Hot glue it onto the Chewie heart.  After this, you can leave it as it is, or make a little Lightsaber out of the key.  I chose to make mine green like Yoda's, but you can always make it blue, red, purple or red as well.

That's all there is to it!

Have fun and see you all next week!
