First came the pom pom flowers tutorial …

And now there’s matching pom pom printables too!
(can I get a woot woot?)

FREE downloads you can use for showers and parties: patterned paper, invitations, gift tags, and place cards in peachy pink, warm gray, and buttery yellow. All courtesy of the ever generous Domestifluff.  Thank you, Kristen!

Sweet upcycling chic!  Here’s a cool tutorial from Aya via Re-Nest for turning your thrifted/inexpensive china into one-of-a-kind party decor or keepsakes. For those who can’t draw (coughthatwouldbemecoughcough), Aya suggests writing a poem or a favorite quote on your dishes instead.

Free raw material, compliments of Mother Nature!

I don’t care that summer is now officially over (in my part of the world anyway), I’m definitely gonna try this! Love the fact that I can make them in any flavor I want, squeee!

If you’re planning on making some for a shower or party, or maybe as a special treat for your bridesmaids/friends during, ahem, a marathon DIY session, Instructables has all the deets in this tutorial.  And while you’re at it, kick up your presentation a notch with these fab and free printable ice cream gift tags, courtesy of Eat Drink Chic.  Enjoy!

Thank you, dear Mer Mag for this sweet introduction to the wonderful world of fabric markers.  I had no idea that you could also doodle, scribble and write onto fabrics! Been thinking about personalizing muslin gift bags for the coming holidays and this would be perfect! Now off to the craft store I go. xoxo
