Make Your Own Confetti

http://www.polkadotbride.com/2012/03/pastel-confetti-with-free-sticker-tutorial/ You know I’m all about unique wedding ideas, but sometimes you just can’t beat the traditional option. Minus the garish colours and packaging, confetti is still such a sweet way to celebrate a couple’s first moments as newlyweds.

MAGIC Decal Transfer Tutorial with Free Printables!

http://thepaintedhive.net/2012/02/magic-decal-transfer-tutorial-with-free-printables/ Amongst other things, I mentioned how wonderful they are for creating custom embellishments without the need for any fancy pants equipment. Yep, waterslide decal paper is a truly fab product, though as great as it is, there is one drawback – although it’s somewhat tough it’s not especially durable. So, whilst it’s perfect for ornamental purposes, it’s not ideal for more practical applications….until now that is! Magic decal coating paper is a product designed to be used in conjunction with standard decal paper to make the finished transfers durable – yes, even dishwasher resistant! If you’re already familiar with magic decal coating paper then please excuse my tardy excitement, though for everyone else who is just getting to the party now too, feel free to start throwing the streamers! My recently aquired assortment of SLOM jars from IKEA were awaiting some DIY craftiness and seemed the perfect victims candidates for my first magic decal experiment.

http://littlelovables.blogspot.com/2010/11/high-fashion-fun.html It's starting to get a little cold outside! With little boys, I need some indoor activities that can be used to stretch the imagination, but it's a big plus if they are pretty to look at. I found this neat new shop called Cool Spaces for Kids and everything is so sweet.
