Felt Flowers

Ok, I know there's been a major hair clip theme lately.  But you're limited with what you can do when you're on bed rest for preterm contractions.  Plus, when you're expecting your fourth girl, you have frillies on the brain!  (At least I do have 2 boys mixed in there, too.  It helps keep me up-to-date with all the latest sound effects.)

Anyway, the other day I came across this felt flower tutorial through Fabric Bows and More.  I went more than a little flower crazy, playing with size, color, number of flowers, etc!!


I made a couple of other pairs that I gave away.  I showed these to my friend and neighbor, and she made some where she alternated colors in one flower.  They're gorgeous!  So I have a feeling I may be making some of those tomorrow.  I also may play with making some and gluing a bead in the center, or maybe lining the edges of the petals with glitter.  What little girl doesn't like some sparkle?

These seriously take mere minutes to make.  If you have a large 5-petal flower punch, making a pattern is super-easy.  If not, I found easy-to-follow instructions here on You Tube.

I love them!!

Cupcake Felt Fun!

I love doing busy bags for my littles.  They're great at church, they're great to keep them happy while I do school with the older kids, and they're great when they're not feeling well and are stuck on the couch.  The other day I came across these cupcake busy bags at Crafty Couple.  I fell in love with them!!!  Yesterday, while the kids napped, I sat down in front of the TV and cut some out while watching shows.  So fun and easy!


You can print out the patterns for almost everything:  cupcakes, liners, fancy icing, regular icing, marshmallows, and chocolate chips.  It also comes with a heart one, but I did cherries instead.  Then I cut a bunch of little scraps for sprinkles.

Put it all together, and you have a large, fun cupcake!


The kids are going to LOVE these!!
