I used to craft quite often, but when you really don't feel good, crafting is the last thing you want to do. Now that I am feeling well, I am getting itchy to start crafting again.
I do blame a lot of my wanting to craft again on Theresa, at Theresa's Mixed Nuts. She is always making something cool.
I had all this material that is like ribbon and is on spools like you see above. I probably have 4 or 5 different colors of it. I had no idea what I was going to do with it.
I remembered I used to make flowers out of material.... so that is what I decided to do.
. I cut a piece of the ribbon 20 inches in length
. Fold in half length wise
. With a needle and thread, gather the top
. I pull the thread until it forms a flower like you see above
. Sew it together so it doesn't fall apart
. I went out and bought pom poms for the center
Walla!!! Here are the flowers I made for my gifts for our Family Cook Off that I will tell you about later.
The flowers didn't turn out quite as cute as I thought they would...... but they are going to have to do.
Here are all the presents ready for our Family Cook Off on Sunday!! I will post more about the cook off later.
Those are way better than bows. Super cute idea!
ReplyDeleteVery creative and well done. Sadly the cat could probably tie a better bow than me haha
ReplyDeleteTerry,
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative and talented. You are always turning out something fresh and artsy new. I really like that brown striped paper with the brown bow and ribbon. It gets my vote.
Love and peace
They sure do look pretty. I can't wait to hear about that family cook off.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about? They turned out great! I really love the white and yellow daisy looking bows! They certainly spruce up the packages :)
ReplyDeleteI know all too well about crafting going on the back burner when you don't feel well. I didn't craft anything for 2 years. I guess I am now making up for lost time lol.
Thanks for the shout out :)
I think they are very creative and cute! I'm curious about the family cook off.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
SUPER cute - and way better than a bow!!! I absolutely love them.
ReplyDeletePS - Theresa is like a craft goddess over there. I'm uber jealous of her mad skillz :)
I'm terrible at wrapping and making bows. I probably wouldn't be any better at flowers. But these are adorable - love them!
ReplyDeleteI think they turned out great!! This is a super nice touch for giving someone something special. Nice work. :)
ReplyDeleteOh girl I love it! How much cooler is that then a bag with tissue paper! I love how you make it sound so easy.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see pics of the cook off ;)
So cute! Thanks for linking this up to our Sweets For My Sweetie link-up! :)
ReplyDeleteSo Pretty!!
ReplyDeleteThese "flowers" look terrific; I think you did a very fine job on them.
ReplyDeleteWas gratified to hear that you feel a little better too.
Take care.
Those are pretty! I love them!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute! How fun! They really look great!
ReplyDeleteI love these! One of my favorite things about giving gifts is the packaging--- just makes a gift even more special. These look like a great way to jazz up a gift!

ReplyDeleteI love the way these look! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I have just recently got into doing crafts and they're so much fun. I have been making tutus for my daughter. Next on the list is learning how to make tulle headbands. :)
ReplyDeleteYou should set up your own Etsy shop!
