Fabric Boutonnieres tutorial

Hi, all!  I’m Chelsea. I have a little blog called Lovely Indeed where I document all of the crazy DIY projects I’ve been doing to prepare for my wedding (along with some other lovely things thrown in for good measure). When Cyd recently asked me to stop by The Sweetest Occasion every once in a while and share some DIY love, I just about fell out of my chair. I’m an avid fan and reader, and I’ve gotta say – I’m super honored to be here. Now on with the show!
Get out your glue guns, kids – these ain’t your mama’s boutonnieres. Today I thought I’d share a little DIY project that I’m actually using in my own wedding!  When my fiance (we’ll call him Mr. Lovely) and I decided to do fabric boutonnieres, I was a little intimidated. I did some research and found about a zillion different styles, but none that felt quite right. So I came up with this design – clean, sweet, and above all:  simple.  Let’s do this.
Here’s what you’ll need.

Tutorials: Wonderful Washi Tape

 

by Marisa Edghill of Omiyage

At the beginning of a new year, I always like to take a look back at the things which brought a little joy to my life in an effort to make each year more joyful than the last.  And, often, these are simple pleasures – a cup of tea and a good book, fresh snow, snail mail, the smell of bread baking. In 2010, one of those simple pleasures for me was washi tape.

.

a group of artists approached a Japanese masking tape manufacturer – Kamoi Kakoshi – and presented them with a book of art they had created using the company’s industrial masking tapes.  They came to the company with a request, that Kamoi Kakoshi manufacture masking tapes in a variety of colours for use by artists.  Intrigued by what could be, Kamoi created mt masking tape – washi tape in 20 colours designed to bring out the beauty of the rice paper or washi.  That is, I think, what sets Japanese masking tapes apart from their Western versions – the use of rice paper, which allows the tape to be delicate yet strong and gives it an unmatched translucent quality. Anyway, back to our story, these colourful masking tapes were a hit – with artists, crafters, and design aficionados alike.  Heartened by the success, new colours and patterns – traditional, playful, modern – were released and embraced by the international community.  Washi tape was a hit!

Singed Flower and Kneehigh Headband TUTORIAL

Here's how I made my Singed Flower headband from last week. Several of you said you'd made tons of these, and I've only done a handful, so if you have a better way, helpful tips, or want to add something, let me know and I'll add it in.

Supplies:

• organza fabric made of 100% nylon, rayon, or polyester (you don't need much, scraps will do)
  
• lighter
• scissors
• small piece of felt
  
• pins
• low heat glue gun
• brad for flower center
• knee highs, nylons, or tights (feel free to use that pair of nylons that snagged when you opened them!)
  
• about 3" of coordinating ribbon

How to make Candy Cane Hearts

I see these candy cane hearts all over the web and in stores. Left with some extra candy canes after Christmas I thought I would give it a try!

All you need are candy canes (I used mini ones) and lollipop sticks.

Pom pom maker

This is a tutorial for making pom-poms using your
fingers. This one is a small, two-finger pom-pom
(about 1" in diameter) but you can make bigger ones
by using more fingers. As far as yarn choice, thinner
and softer yarn will make a more pleasing pom-pom.
