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!

DIY Mini Stocking Tree Decoration

Hey guys, today I'm going to show you how to create this really sweet Christmas stocking:

You will need...

Red felt

White cotton material

Embellishments (ribbons, buttons, felt, lace)

Material scissors

A sewing machine or a needle and some thread

Template of a stocking

Instructions

1.    Start by cutting the two stocking pieces out of red felt and the two stocking pieces of white cotton. Here is the template I used

2.    Then choose what design you would like to put on to your stocking, I chose some lace, a bit of red ribbon and a few buttons.

3.    Sew your design on to a piece of red felt

4.    Next place your designed stocking piece face up on top of the two white pieces of cotton and the back of the stocking at the bottom (it will look a bit like a sandwich).

Then sew half a cm around the edge of the stocking with sewing machine or use a needle and

thread.

 At the top of the stocking only sew one piece of felt with one piece of white fabric like so..

5.    Then attach either so string or a little bit of ribbon so you can hang it on the Christmas tree.

6.    Remember you can adjust the sizes of the stockings if you fancy!

Let me know if you made this decoration?

Clothes show live

Hey Guys, so yesterday I went to Clothes Show Live, in Birmingham and It was amazing. I picked up lots of brilliant bargains.

To start with I got a £1 goodie bag from cosmopolitan and company which included a packet of jelly beans, a Lindt chocolate, a lemon and lime mint drink (which I didn't like very much!), a sample of Hugo boss, a toilet roll (you never know when you might need that :/ ), some packets of coffee, an 8ml Rimmel foundation, some leaflets, a Cosmo magazine and a company magazine! All for £1 which is a rather good deal.

Then I brought a so Susan goodie bag which was £5 for 4 make up items that have the cutest packaging ever..

After that, I saw this little peter pan collared shirt by Edy and Bridge, I could have bought everything there I swear.

Then I bought the £5 goodie bag from so...? and it included a big dry shampoo, a little make up bag, a mini dry shampoo, then a body spray and perfume.

Overall, I thought I was well restrained because I didn't buy any of the Barry M or Models Own goodie bags because, I went to the Clothes Show last year and the products looked the same!

I hope you all had a great day, let me know if you went to the Clothes Show?
