Hi all!
I've spent the weekend preparing for and then celebrating a friend's child's christening and thought you might like to see what I made for it! First up there's the bunting which I made using my Silhouette Cameo! The purple flags have carousel unicorns and the others have the letters of the child's name, Aisha. I plaited a few embroidery threads together and used this to sting them up on the mirror. Love the outcome!!!
After that came the tissue paper flower pom poms. I got this idea from Pinterest, which seems to be pretty obsessed with them! :D They were surprisingly easy to do, but took a fair bit of time. I love the effect though, it was bright and fun, and it's still all hanging up as we love them too much to take them down! They're hanging around the gazebo in the garden and on the curtain rail in the living room.
For instructions on how to make them, take a look at this: http://www.marthastewart.com/how-to/tissue-paper-pom-poms-how-to#slide_0
Blue skies everyone!!!
