Decorate a plain onsie with a felt flower.

I did this back in June. It was simple though the hand stitching was a little time consuming. Definitely a project you could do in an hour (if you didn't have babies climbing up your leg or running around the house tearing books off your bookshelf.)



I cut the flower out of pink felt (and a matching piece of Heat N Bond) using my Cuttlebug and a flower Nestabilities die. I ironed the Heat N Bond onto the back of the flower and then the flower onto the onsie. I used embroidery floss to secure the button and to do the hand stitching. And BAM! You have just prettied up a plain boring onsie.

Quick Hostess Gift

I made these last year for my sister since she hosted our family Christmas breakfast. The mop-n-glow technique couldn't possibly be easier and the results are quite stunning.

1. You pour a bit of the mop liquid into the bulb.
2. Cover opening of bulb with saran wrap (to prevent any spills - floor wax is STICKY!)
3. Shake bulb around so that the floor wax completely coats the inside surface of the bulb.
4. Pour out any excess liquid.
5. Pour glitter into bulb.
6. Cover opening with saran wrap again.
7. Shake bulb so that glitter is now covering all of the inside surface of the bulb.
8. Using ribbon of choice, make a bow for hanging bulb in tree.
