When I was in Thailand, I would see the local people weave palm leaves into beautiful bowls, fans, balls and other amazing things. I asked my aunt if she knew how to make these things and she gave me a book that was all in Thai. I don't know how to read Thai, I can barely speak it. Somehow after a week of fumbling around with strips of paper, I managed to decode the pictures and figure it out. Here is my tutorial for you, it is not in Thai, and hopefully it won't take you weeks to make. I did take pictures, but please watch the video.
How to Weave a Paper Ball Ornament
mitten tags from present & correct
The delight of making a gift for someone often extends to the finishing touches; in fact, sometimes the packaging can be the most fun part of all :) If you’re looking for a fast, easy way to recycle materials and make your holiday gifts look adorable, I think you’ll love this cross-stitch mitten gift tag tutorial from Neal of Present & Correct . Neal’s shop is full of cheerful vintage-inspired paper goods and office supplies — I’ve never seen something there that I haven’t wanted to snatch up. These mittens match the clean, modern aesthetic of P&C to a tee and seem so fun to customize with different stitch patterns. I’ll be saving this project for the next rainy day, as I think I might have all of these materials on hand! Thanks for sharing, Neal!
As promised on Sunday we not only decorated the headquarter’s living room in the style of Anthropologie. We also prepared a table decoration which you can copy for your Christmas table. When thinking about tablescapes I always try to create different height levels.

Maureen asked me to demonstrate the tutorial….. and I of course, wanted to give them a little Ruff Flair . We orginally found a fabulous paper polyhedron tutorial from Disney’s Family Fun website….

If you’re assembling Easter baskets this weekend, here’s are some cute printable Easter gift tags that will help put the finishing touch on each basket. Just download, print and cut out them out. You can use them to adorn baskets and chocolate bunnies by punching a hole near the edge of one tag.

This sideboard tableau intersperses luminous pumpkins with a decanter of wine, a stand with fruit, and other objects evocative of Edgar Allan Poe and his tales of horror. To render the glowing silhouettes, we used two techniques: The bright candelabrum and goblet are cut through the pumpkins' walls, while the textured quill and skull are pared gently from the outer shells. Pumpkins of different hues, including white Lumina, a green-gray Jarrahdale, and burnt-orange cheese pumpkins, add tonal variety.
