Sneak Peak With A How-To

I'm posting today while I'm overlooking

the amazing & beautiful Gulf of Mexico...

I absolutely love being at the beach

but gone are the days when I loved to 

lay on the beach...

now it's way too hot & not to mention

terrible for your skin...

So what do I do?

I brought my cupcake toppers

that I am making for a baby shower

I am doing this weekend...

I liked my yarn poms so much

that I made for Goosie Girl's end of the year party

that I thought I would give this a try too...

This is the fabric that I lined all my vessels with...

(pics of that will be next week)

I usually use paper but I wanted to keep with

the motif so I thought why not?

I started measuring & cutting away...

They look fabulous!

ANYWAY... this (picture above) is going to turn in to this

but smaller (cupcake topper size)...

I found these instructions on Once Wed

complements of Ashley of Dolci Odille...

Supplies: Fabric, scissors, hot glue gun, and chinese lanterns.

Step 1: Cut circles out of fabric.

Step 2: Fold the circle in half and put a little hot glue 

on the center, then fold over to secure.

Step 3: Apply more hot glue to the bottom of the folded circle.

Step 4: Press the bottom of the folded circle 

with the hot glue onto the chinese lantern.

Step 5: Repeat these steps until the whole lantern is covered. 

Once finished, attached some fabric to the metal frame 

of the lantern to hang.
