I'm so glad you popped in, I'll put the kettle on and you grab yourself a chair - a good a time as any to stop for a brew. Enjoy...

15 and nearly halfway through December....... and another seasonal 'How-To'


Today's number 15 has been brought to you by an NHS approved medicated cream, please note that there are other creams also available on the market!

I had to resort to lugging my camera to work yesterday in the hope of finding a couple of numbers to add to my collection for this month's self imposed count down (up?).

****************************


And look what I made this morning!



Talk about quick and easy, 


  1. Have yourself some nice twiggy sticks, sharp secateurs, silver spray paint, some sparkly sequins, glue and wire
  2. Cut twiggy bits into nice sizes and wire into a roundish sort of round, trim off any extra lengths that spoil the look (optional - stop to find plaster to plug hole in thumb where a small piece of wire stabbed it)
  3. Spray silver (optional - avoid spraying foot, right hand and side of jeans) 
  4. Wait til dry, then spot glue various sparkly things in a random happy sort of jumbly way
  5. Add ribbon, hang up and admire handy work whilst wondering if just tossing the jeans into the washing machine will remove the paint and the blood drips from my thumb.....well worth the effort!!


 

Ta daaa!

  2. It's really nice and simple, wonder how 'tough' it is for outside on a door?
    Hmmm - might have to give it a go

  3. Thanks Jak - surprisingly only the blue pretties seem to show, there are other colours too.


    Thanks Cat, and Sarah, not sure how robust it is for outside use, will also have to try :)
