Creative Tassel collection

I have two tassels and used them here and there, on lamps on a key holder wherever I felt the need to use a little color or decor. Than I found Betasseled blog and tutorials and was so impressed I just had to share some of Heather's work here with you because it INSPIRED me to take my Tassels and enhance them!!
Be sure to stop by Heather's Blog and say hi.  Oh and she has many many more tassels for your inspiration!


Jonathan Adler says tassels are "the earrings of the home," 


All photo's courtesy of Betasseled! Thanks Heather.






And this one is the ultimate one she did!!

I hope you enjoyed this collection of tassels as much as I did and are inspired to make your own. The following photo is of the two tassels I have to work with in making a masterpiece, will have to decide color ribbons, finial etc. 
My Red, black and beige tassels that I will embellish.
Will post photo's after I finish the project.

Easter Dinner tablescape craft project


Thanks to Jen from Scissors and Spatulas for this adorable DIY craft project.

This Easter I decided to do craft projects to add to my Easter dinner tablescape. I started with the Centerpiece which is a white vase, Yellow forsythia, eggs that spell out "Happy Easter". I will have a white with yellow,pink,blue stripes tablecloth and matching napkins, and to add more Easter decor these napkin rings with the Easter egg motif would be a great addition to the table, 

This would also make a cute placecard holder !

I will use the idea of the  mini grapevine wreaths, little bird nests and some mini speckled eggs-on-a-stick to make placecard holders to match the adorable napkin rings. I will post pictures just as soon as the entire project is finished. Have to head out to Hobby Lobby to get my supplies. 
Having fun thanks to the "DIY CLUB" !

This is my version of the napkin ring, I used one vine wreath and made a nest and put 2 eggs in it.

Easter, Spring crafts


I found this adorable table decoration on Tip Junkie with instructions, tutorial on DIY showing how to make it.  I will be heading to my local Michael's store to get the supplies I need and to Bed Bath and Beyond to find a milky white vase.

For the rabbit figurines I have an adorable green bunny figurine and green egg candles I will be using

in my Easter/Spring tablescape and will make the centerpiece with Forsythia, in a white vase, and styrofoam eggs which spell out Happy Easter hanging from the Forsythia .

The supplies I need are

Materials:
  • Creamy white vase (Scour thrift stores/etc.)
  • White ribbon  ( try getting materials at dollar store)
  • Straight pins
  • Deco Art Paint (I used Americana Gloss Enamels in yellow)
  • White bunnies 
  • Paper Mache Eggs x 11 (I used styrofoam eggs)
  • Faux Forsythia (at Michaels )
This is the white vase I am using, the forsythia looked gorgeous with the sun streaming in on the table.
The next step to my version of this project will be to add the eggs hanging on ribbon from the branches of the forsythia. I purchased styrfoam eggs as opposed to the paper mache eggs suggested, hope it works.

I will Paint the styrofoam eggs and than use a sharpie to write each letter that will spell out Happy Easter.
I followed the directions from DIY the picture was from DIY.  

I will post pictures after I complete this craft project, can't wait to start, it's been a long time since I attempted a craft project.
