Felt Flower Crown + Clips. Spring is in full bloom here and all the flower lined sidewalks make me so happy!

Felt Flower Crown + Clips

With spring flowers on my mind, I pulled out some felt and decided to craft some up some of my own and make a flower crown. There’s something so quintessentially spring-y, summery, and girly about wearing flowers in your hair. Amirite? I started with most of the felt flower tutorials from Something Turquoise and about two flowers in, I decided this was way too much work for one flower crown that may only get worn a few times.

So instead of gluing them or wrapping them directly into the crown, I made a bunch of flower clips that could be clipped into the crown. That way you can clip them all to the crown, DIY Honeycomb Shelves. Sarah and her handy husband Josh recently created this beautiful honeycomb style shelving unit for their home.

Easter Basket Swap Tutorial. Ok, I have THREE ways to cover the yogurt cups, and the first is the easiest.

Easter Basket Swap Tutorial

First I sprayed primer onto my cups. You could use a brush on primer, or don't prime and paint at all. I use soft colors on my things and didn't want the yogurt label to show through. So, First prime, then paint with an acrylic paint. ( I did inside and out,because I am Anal that way :) ) I used Crepe Paper sheets and cut it to the width I wanted. ( Regular rolled crepe paper is too small unless you layer.) I used my ruler to pencil in a straight line for sewing. Once I had the length I wanted, I traced the bottom of the cup onto a matching paper, and cut around the outside of the circle with decorative scissors.

So, there you have a covered cup that is ready to decorate !! Free Patterns! How to make a L4D First Aid Kit (Zombie Survival Prop) Leather Lunch Tote. I don’t bring my lunch to work as often as I should.
