Paper, germinating flowers or seedlings in your mailbox


 

Бумага, прорастающая цветамиOver the past decade, paper letters have become rare, but the holiday cards do not hand over their positions. Multicolored cards with warm words accepted to give in an envelope, and if the cards themselves, as a rule, you want to save the fate of the envelope is not so obvious. Throw a pity to keep - no need to. However, for some envelopes (as, indeed, and greeting cards) is another unusual option - they can put ...!
Special "germination flowers" paper is a set of applications - but the envelope it may be, for example, business cards, invitations, bookmarks and even a wine label! And made ​​a miracle out of 100% recycled pulp. Thus, a product with the inclusion of the seeds makes it possible to reuse the paper and at the same time creating something new, in this case - greenery.
Fabrication process involves grinding of finished paper products with the addition of water to produce pulp, which domeshivayutsya and seeds of wild flowers . As a result, we get a very original hi-tech product, also made ​​by hand.

How to make Package Gift

When I bought something at a store recently, the clerk handed me my purchase in a bag made from a newspaper. I liked it very much and had to make some more—thus today's DIY recycled newspaper project: gift bags made from the Wall Street Journal. You can vary the dimensions, of course, but here's what I used to create a bag that's 5" tall, 4.5" wide, and 3" deep.

Cornucopia of Doom



I loves me some Halloween. My inner goth loves to come out to play and she wants to make something disturbing, but decorative. I took inspiration from Don't Throw It Away! published in 1973. There are many, many wonderfully wacky projects in this book that I want to have a go at, (I can't wait to make the combat boot planter/lamp!) but once I saw the cornucopia with all of its god-awful plastic fruit a-spillin' out, I knew I'd stumbled on the germ of a good Halloween idea- the Cornucopia of Doom! (Great name for a goth band, yes?)

Pom pom maker


pompomtut1
This is a tutorial for making pom-poms using your
fingers. This one is a small, two-finger pom-pom
(about 1" in diameter) but you can make bigger ones
by using more fingers. As far as yarn choice, thinner
and softer yarn will make a more pleasing pom-pom.

Simple gifts: Plants

This is the second in my series of Simple Gifts for the holidays. It's a quickie but goody! Paper whites are a beautiful flower bulb that you can force to bloom for the holidays. Force sounds so harsh... it just means that you give them a gentle nudge to open early... by giving them the light of a window sill and the warmth of inside. You can do this in any climate, but it's particularly nice where the winters are frosty and you're aching for fresh flowers. I always start mine the week of Thanksgiving. They take 4-6 weeks to bloom. I give them as gifts around the holidays, and by that time they are either just blossoming or about to. Find all of the supplies at your local garden store. Each gift will cost about a $ 1, but be worth so much more!

Simple gifts: oat floats... or oatmeal "sachets"

oat float
During my first winter on the east coast I discovered the damage that an extremely cold and dry climate can do to your skin. Yikes! I combat our chapped and itchy skin with all kinds of balms and salve, but my favorite remedy is an oat bath. It smells delicious, feels so soothing and is quite miraculous. We made bunches of oat sachets for giving this year. These oat floats make a great addition to a gift basket and a perfect stocking stuffer. I love that they're inexpensive, simple and fast to make... but most of all they make skin soft and happy! I took some pictures to show you how we do it, but it's a basic concept open for your own interpretation. Filling each sachet is a great job for a small helper. Be prepared for scattered oats, but a little mess makes everything a bit more fun, but you know that already. Not a sewer? I bet you could gather oats into the center of a circle of muslin and cinch with a string... make sure it's tied tightly!
