I LOVE this idea from Make and Takes! A sweet little greeting card that blooms, with the help of seed-infused paper, of course. M & T’s tute for making the paper seems pretty easy. All you need is
- some paper scraps,
- a blender,
- water,
- a wooden spoon,
- colander,
- paper towel(s),
- a couple of towels
- and some felt if you have some handy (hey, we’re crafters, we always got some of that stuff stashed away!)
Head on over to Make and Takes for the complete tute.
If my new loom knitting passion starts to wane, I’m going to go back to knitting and MAKE my own knitting needles. Martha tells us how to do it…and it’s MUCH easier than you might think. Imagine dowels and a pencil sharpener and you’re on your way!
Last night while perusing the You Tubes for card-making ideas, I came across this video by Jan Tinklenberg making a magical marquee card. A very clever idea that will surely wow anyone who receives one. Make sure you watch the video to the end to see Jan’s finished examples. That bee is sooo cute!
