Trim down your stick to roughly 6″ or size as desired.  Tie your fabric pieces to your stick until you like the way it looks. Attach your ornament hook to the top by twisting it tight.  Trim down your fabric to create the “tree” shape.

Using Medium Zots™ create a strip of sequins for your little one to use to decorate.  Bonus most kids like to peel stickers and you just created them a whole sheet!

Make it Monday- Tinsel Town Stockings with Heat N Bond


IMG_8417
Happy Monday! today we are going to make a stocking project using HeatnBond® Fusible FleeceHeat N Bond® Fabric Adhesive and new iCraft™ Deco Foils!  I made my stocking using Dear Stella’s Christmas/Winter line, Tinsel Town. To start I used a free pattern for the stocking byPositively Splendid. Her pattern printer perfectly and I honestly just winged it putting them together.
 First I created two stockings.  The first I made for the outer lining and I used HeatnBond® Fusible Fleece to “puff it up” ;)  I then created a liner stocking and attached the cuff.  Pretty simple stuff.

For the fronts of the stocking I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut my fabric using Heat N Bond® Ultra.  Next I decided to trim out the edges of my snowflakes and trees with new iCraft™ Deco Foil.  Using the adhesive draw around the edges of your design.  Once dried to a clear state simply press the foil onto the design.  Give it a good rub.

I used two colors of foil on the snowflakes.  Instead of doing a 2nd pass of blue foil I did green.  I really like how it come out!  What do you think?

Miss cozy pants in Bella Blvd Puppy Park!


Don't think I forgot a sewing project this week ;)  Last week I was on the Bella Blvd blog featuring our line Puppy Park by Riley Blake.  I made up this hat by SewBon on Pinterest.  Isn't it the best?  Parker said she needed cozy pants to go with her hat.  But of course.  I used a patter by Brownie Goose called Butler Britches.  Silly cute right? 




Supplies:
May Arts ribbon
misc notions & buttons
