Handmade - Pillowcase Dress



I am in love with this pillowcase dress designed by Tiffany (Simply Modern Mom). I may just have to
have a go at making one of these cuties myself. Of course picking funky Pillow cases (material) makes
the dress simply divine.

Handmade - Halloween Decor

After reading a fave blog of mine Little Light Studio, I thought I would share the challenge they have on offer.



boo_coaster

























The first project is a Halloween coaster. I started with just a simple 4 inch chipboard coaster, from my scrapbooking stash. I adhered a piece of pattern paper to the top of the coaster, and then painted the edges with black paint. I tied a few pieces of ribbon around the bottom part of the coaster, and then adhered some fun glitter chipboard letters to spell "BOO". I added a "Halloween" sticker to the top corner of the coaster, added a metal clip, and a few fun stick pins to the ribbon to finish it off. Super 
cute, and took no more than 15 minutes to make.

halloween_H



































The second project is an altered 8 inch chipboard letter. I choose an "H", to stand for Halloween. I 
traced the chipboard letter onto the back of my pattern paper, and then cut it out with some scissors. 
I adhered it to the "H", and then sanded down the edges. I used some puffy alphabet stickers to spell 
out "Halloween" on the right side of my "H". I adhered a "Trick or Treat" sticker to the left side of 
my "H", and added a metal clip to the side. To finish it off, I tied a piece of black lace ribbon on the 
left side and stuck a few cute stick pins in, and added a few gems to the center of the spider 
webs.


They have a challenge for you.......is to look at your scrapbook supplies and material, and see what 
you can pull together to create your own fun Halloween decorations. Leave a link in their comments 
to your photo and they will pick their favourite to feature on their blog and in their newsletter.
