How to Make: Tissue Paper Tassel Garland
I think tissue paper and crepe paper may be some of the best and most inexpensive items which can make the prettiest and most colorful party decor.

So I thought today would be as good a day as any to show you how I make my Tissue Paper Tassel Garland…it's so … [Read more...]
How to Make: Tissue Paper Snowflakes
This is a sponsored post for the Elmer’s “Crafty Mamas” Blogger Crew. I have received compensation for this post, but the ideas and opinions are , as always, 100% my own!

Decorative Tissue Paper Balls
I just love looking through Pottery Barn catalogs, don't you? They have such pretty stuff and their rooms are always so beautifully decorated...just a wee bit jealous I am, but hey, I bet they don't have two littles running around their houses (er, studios) spilling dry cereal and stepping in it, spitting out juice all over the carpet and letting the dog run all around … [Read more...]
