DIY {pretty tassel garlands}

Last week I discovered an insane gold mine in my neighborhood for craft lovers. An entire warehouse full of party and crafting materials. Needless to say my mind was going a mile a minute and I was ecstatic to pick up some mylar sheets so I could make this pretty little lady for a close friend. I've been eyeballing these garlands for quite some time and shared my favorites last week as inspiration for my version. It's amazing how easy these are (here's a great tutorial) and how much of an impact they give off. I plan on making a couple others and adding a few more things along the pretty string for flare, perhaps some metal stencil letters I've been waiting to use. The options are endless friends, get crafting!

Ever since I first came across these sparkly fun garlands, I've been wanting to try my hand at making my own. I've attempted smaller versions and have seen many others and can't wait to try mine. In fact, I'm leaving to go get my materials right now.

DIY {mini tassel garland}

Call me crazy but, I'm guessing that you've seen a few of these around the world wide web lately and I'll bet that you love them as much as I do. Honestly, who wouldn't? For the last couple months, I've been wanting to make my own tassel garland but haven't found the right materials (you know I want some gold in there!) So I decided to try a mini version in valentine's colors instead and get some practice in for the real thing. I grabbed tissue paper in the colors I wanted, bright pink, red and light pink and scissors. Although I think crepe paper would work a tab bit nicer. She thinks so too! 

I think this tiny decor would spice up any little present you'd like to give someone for the upcoming love holiday, even a cute little succulent. Happy crafting friends!

'tis the season for crafting

After holiday dinner this past weekend with my family, I scoured my nana's house for her monthly stack of magazines. I picked up this magazine and found some fun felt crafts that I thought were super cute and really simple to make. With only a few supplies, it takes very little to transform your house into a winter wonderland with these homemade holiday trimmings.

I can't wait to make these!!
