Personalized Ribbon Review

Hello friends! I am writing to you today about CraftsnFavors.com and their personalized ribbon for favors.

Crafts & Favors has kindly asked me to write a simple review about their personalized ribbons. CraftsnFavors.com has a large range of supplies ensuring that you can make your wedding or other great events as unique and personalized as you like.

What makes the personalized ribbon for favors special is that your guests will remember your special day because the date and names are printed on the ribbon for them to always remember. Let me just state that these ribbons lasts a lifetime. Throughout my young life, my parents attended many weddings and Baptisms and I have to say that the one thing that stuck out the most about favors were the ribbons. My mother had a huge collection of favors on a shelf. The favors had the date of each couples wedding date and names.

If you are thinking of having a wedding or any special event, or know someone who will, these ribbons may be something for you or them to consider. Visit them today and check them out.

DIY Glitter Votive

I have a scented candle that I love, although I can't light it up due to allergies and asthma,

I keep it warm to release the fragrance and it works well that way. As you can see it's

green, and although I love green, I don't have green decor in my home, so I decided to

dress it up with a lot of glitter.

I used what I had on hand, my votive, Mod Podge glue, paint brush, and the glitter.

For those with unsteady hands,
I recommend using masking tape to cover the area where you will not add glitter.
-- Simply paint your glue onto your votive.
-- Then sprinkle or roll on your glitter and that is it.
Now you have a sparkling votive perfect for the Holidays and great for New Years.
Happy Crafting!

Easy Chalkboard Lettering Tip

Here is a simple and easy tutorial to get that chalk font that you have
been seeing all over the net on your own chalkboard.

Simply print on paper, the art or words you wish to draw on your chalkboard.
On the back of the print, use a chalk to color over the print, make sure you cover the print completely.
When you are done, take a pencil and trace over the print so that the chalk will transfer over to your board.
Then if you wish, color in with chalk or chalk ink or make necessary corrections to your transfer.

DIY: Felt Ball Ornament (Updated Photos)

It's that time of the year again when everyone shops, travel, entertain and
decorate for the Holidays. This year I wanted to add white to my Christmas tree,

so I opted to make my own white felt ornaments. Do you remember the scrunch flower tutorial?

In this tutorial you may use that method or use the method below to make the scrunch flower.

Lets begin.

(1) You will need the following:

Felt Sheets (your color preference)
scissors
Glue Gun
Glue Sticks for your glue gun
ribbon
pencil or chalk
circle template such as a cup
Fine Glitter (optional)

(2) Using your round template/cup, trace circles on the felt. Cut out your circles. {To make several of these ornaments, you will need lots of circles. Each of these flowers has about 5-6 felt circles.} Make sure you cut a smaller circle for each flower that you make, it will serve as a base.

(3) Place a drop of glue on the center of your large circle and fold in half.

(4) Take your folded circle and fold again in the shape of an "s" or use the method on the previous tutorial. Either one works fine. The "s" form gives it more depth.
