Gifts for anyday of the year No.1 Felt Fourtune Cookie....

Hi Everyone! I know it's after Valentines Day and I said I was going to show you some other little projects related to it, but instead I thought about it and decided that I wanted to show you some little cheap and easy gifts you can make to brighten someone's day, any day of the year!

Firstly, I'm going to show you how to make these Felt Fortune Cookies with customisable messages...

You will need:

Felt

Paper

Scissors

Hot glue gun

bendy wire

pens or pencils

Step 1: Cut out the felt in to circles and cut a rectangle that would fit the diameter of the circle.

Step 2: Next cut some paper strips out and write cute little messages on them

Step 3: Then measure a little bit of wire that fits the diameter of the circle and glue it on with hot glue

Step 4: Glue the rectangle piece of felt on to the piece of wire like so..

Step 5: Place the message inside and fold the circle like this (BEWARE: It can be a little tricky to get the hang of, but you'll get there in the end)

Step 6: You can either just give one for a special someone or make loads and give them to all your best friends...

Have Fun

Tissue paper flower

Hello, in my previous Blog post I shared some ideas for wrapping Christmas presents, but today I wanted to show you how to make these really simple and easy flowers to liven up any gift...

You will need:

tissues paper

scissors

elastic band or lunch bag tie

cello tape

mini stapler

Instructions:

Start by cutting out the tissue paper in to rectangles. Try out different sizes until your happy make sure you have about 6 to 8 sheets together.
Next fold the sheets altogether as if you were making a fan. One side, fold, flip, the other side, fold, flip etc.
Then use the elastic band or lunch tie to hold the middle.
Pull one side of the tissue to the other side and staple once, like so...

Pull one or two sheets of tissue up to create a crinkled effect. Do this until you have a voluptuous tissue flower.

I hope you had a great day!
