Macaron anyone?

Sometimes it's all about the baking, can't wait to eat these!

Let there be lights...

Sharing today some of the tea light holders I have been making out of jam jars. They have been wrapped in paper, lace and Washi Tape.

What's on your workdesk Wednesday 208

Back Wednesday again and our trip around the world looking at creative places. Pop over to Stamping Ground to find out more and take a journey.

Well, it has been another hectic week, with party preparations in full swing. I have been busy making all kinds of decorations and baking cakes to go in the freezer. Am pleased to say the nasty bugs are going away which has made progress slow recently!

Here you can see some of the tea light holders I have been making out of jam jars. There is a paper decoration I am experimenting with and some napkins to decoupage with. Some of my decorations can be viewed in the previous three posts.

I have been meaning to share a picture of this lovely trolley I found in a shop in Norfolk, how could I not buy it? After the Tea Party it will be put to use as extra craft space!

 

Thank you for all the get well wishes, I hope to visit more desks this week, apologies for my recent poor attendance. I am sure you all know how hectic it can get sometimes.

Lanterns

These were so easy to make, just one of those light bulb moments. I bought the laser cut strips from a craft store, they are to make tea light wraps. I had intended to put them round jars which I am putting tea lights in, but they were not long enough.

 So I added little handles and now have hanging lanterns!

A fanfare please

More party decorations.......

These are so quick to make and have great impact.

Concertina two sheets of 12 x12" paper' approx.1 cm folds. Cut each folded section through the middle so you now have four 6" folded sections. Glue the ends together so you have a long strip and then the beginning to the end so you have a tube. This should now look like a lampshade!
Push down in the middle so the 'lampshade' flattens. Secure the middle front and back with circles of card.

You can make smaller ones without the need to join strips but for the largest size, this is how I do it.

Dear Diary....
