Scheduled to come out in September, I am desperately awaiting the arrival of Papercraft, a new book from Gelstalten.
The book explores the astounding possibilities of paper and gathers the most extraordinary creations – from small objects and figures to large-scale art installations and urban interventions. It also includes a DVD with fun DIY printable templates for creating your own paper characters and toys.
Doesn't it look amazing?
You can preorder it on Amazon here.
This is fabulous... It's a clean, orderly and fashionable way to store rolls of ribbon.
It's Martha Stewart's Organizing Tip of the Day, which I impatiently wait to fill my inbox every morning.
They simply took copper gutters, had them cut to the size that would fit along their wall, and filled them with spools of their favorite double-faced rolls. We're always looking for new ideas that look great and help keep our plethora of supplies organized and easily available.
Happy Crafting!
I'm a complete sucker for coordinating papierie... not to the point of being mother/daughter matching Lilly Pulitzer, but I like when things go together just right!
My mom, sisters and I hosted a tea for my cousin who is getting married a couple of weekends ago and I wanted to share the pics and template for creating your own matching tea paperie. Click here for the original post from The District Domestic.
We created these super cute little tea bags by sewing together two pieces of very fine mesh on three sides then using embroidery floss to stitch around the top. Once filled with tea, all it takes is pulling the thread tight to close the bag. Here's the template for making the tags on the end of the thread.
Here are the tags that went on the loose leaf tea that we used to fill the homemade tea bags with.
And here are the tags for the food and favors.
Happy Tea Party!
