Spring is almost upon us and i'm making some changes around here! And I don't just mean my new hair... As most of you guys know, I’ve driven the BMW X7 for a while now and it’s time for a change. I recently test drove a BMW X3 and I loved it! The question is.. do I go significantly smaller or do I stay at the same size? Next up, I’ll be test driving an electric SUV and I still have to get into an X5. You guys brought up some good points about being able to fit all my craft supplies in the back.. but don't worry I heard you guys and I am definitely taking that into consideration! Let me know any other recommendations you guys have!! I love that you're on this car buying journey with me.
Shower Gift
☂️🤍🎀
What you’ll need:
Wrapping paper (I used white for a bridal shower)
Tulle (again I used white but any color will work)
Doilies
Pipe cleaners
Hot glue gun
1. Wrap your gift and use the tulle to make a big bow
2. Take your paper doily and fold in half and then accordion fold in a circular fashion
3. Then unfold & fold over in the other direction to make an umbrella shape
4. Take a pipe cleaner and poke it through the middle, then curl up the bottom to make a ‘j’ shape. This is your umbrella handle
5. Attach your umbrella to the top of your gift (I used my hot glue gun)
6. Take another pipe cleaner and wrap around your finger to make a loop, then pinch the loop in the middle and twist to make a bow. Repeat this process to make as many bows as you’d like.
7. Add your bows to your umbrella and then your “shower” gift is complete!
Wrapping a Quilt
❤️✂️🧶
What you’ll need:
Quilt
Tulle
Scrap fabric
Doodly-doos for decorating (I used artificial flowers)
Pinching sheers
Hot glue gun
1. Take your quilt and fold it up however you’d like
2. Grab your tulle and make sure you have enough to wrap up the whole quilt- we’re going to use the ‘toostie roll method’ here
3. Then grab your scrap fabric and tie the ends of your toostie rolled up situation, then you can trim your ends if there is excess tulle
4. Take your pinching sheers and cut your fabric to add a little extra detail
5. Finally, attach your doodly-doos of choosing- I used artificial flowers and hot glued them onto the fabric at the ends
Toilet Paper Wrapping
🧻🤪🎁
Yes... I did wrap up a roll of toilet paper! Several in fact... watch for my March Madness giveaway - details on Instagram stories!
Wine Bottle Wrapping
🍷🎀❤️
What you'll need:
Champagne bottle
Beau Bottle wraps
Any other doodly-doos you'd like to add
