Heart,heart and more wooden hearts!

 

 

Wooden hanging hearts

 

These are made with pre cut wooden hearts but thick card board would work just as well, I covered them with patterned tissue paper and threaded them up with green raffia  ribbon.

 

 

 

 Quick and easy to make.

free wall paper samples and Wall paper craft ideas

Wall paper Mosaic Art.

 

 

 

While being on maternity leave and unable to find the time to craft I have been spending my few spare minutes to myself by lusting after other peoples craft ideas. Just waiting until it was again my time to be able to do CRAFT!

 

 

 

Free wall paper samples are just one thing that I found I could order in seconds with the intent to craft with later.

Here are a few links to some sites so that you can order your own

You can (as I'm sure I have said before) go to your local DIY store and pick up some free samples of wallpaper as long as you tell the staff before you leave, You can do it if you...you know the rest!

 

 

 

These are really simple but a little time consuming, well the measuring and cutting out of the squares is but once that is done your away.

Use colours that complement each other or the colour that will work with the room you will put them in.

 

Have a go, get crafty and Happy crafting!

 

 

Beautiful paper butterflies

Beautiful Paper Butterflies.

 

 

This is my take on the beautiful Mondocherry butterflies that I see so much of on Pinterest.

I have been lusting over their wonderful array of paper crafts since having my second child and this week I have finally stole some time for my craft and made one.

Start with two butterfly templates of different sizes.
100's can be found to print off  on google.

 

Cut out 9 of each and stick one on top of the other like so.

 

This is what you will end up with. They can be used as any number of crafts at this stage, card toppers, Stick on a plain frame to make it more interesting, I'm sure you get the idea!

 

Mark the paper on which you are going to stick the butterflies, space them out equally and be accurate use a ruler! 

 

Once you have stuck them down you will have your very own pretty as can be butterfly art piece.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be warned these are addictive so you will end up making lots! They are great for presents so all is not lost!

Happy crafting!!
