Paper Medallion Craft

Here is the paper medallion craft I’ve been working on, friends.

Done, finally!

When I ask you to guess what it was I was making, many of you thought I was working on lampshades.

Some of  you thought they might be cupcake holders….

And there were three who guessed flowers or rosettes.

You three were right!

This is a fun craft. But it is very time consuming. There is a lot of folding.

A Whole lot!

Here is a close up look of the extra details I added to a couple of the medallions by punching one with holes and cutting the other one.

If you are interested in trying this yourself here is the BH&G Tutorial that I followed.

Have fun…

I apologise for the poor photo quality. After three weeks Blogger still has not fixed the problem with my photo uploading, so I'm using Live Writer.

The photos are perfect there, but after they are transferred they show up blurry for some reason.

If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

Thanks!

How To Decorate With Colour

I wanted to share a few tips with you on how to decorate with colour.

Many of you, like myself, don’t live in a climate that allows us to have blooming flowers year round.

But never fear, we can bring colour and flowers into our home without spending even a penny!

Like here.

If you are like me, you no doubt have a stash of floral scrap booking paper in your craft room just waiting to be turned into sweet flowers;)

Do you have an old vintage suitcase?

I do.

A really ugly beige one.

I need to try painting it or decoupaging it like this one.

Now if I was experienced at crocheting, I know I would definitely want to make this!

So far the only crocheting I've mastered is pot scrubbers!

For more colourful inspiration please check out my Pinterest page and visit the Color My Decor board that Brenda started over the weekend.

It is full of many wonderful way to add colour to your home during these long Winter days.

This sampler is the inspiration piece for my latest project.

If it turns out you will see it.

If not, I think you know exactly where it’s headed for!

What things are you doing to brighten your Winter days, my friend?

I'm all ears....

and eyes!
