You know what I love about being on The Twinery Design Team?  It's having to work with the gorgeous colours and being able to just play.  My assignment? Anything but a card.  Since Christmas is getting sooo close I thought it would be fun to make some ornaments.  The great thing is the Twine can be used as an accent and function.

 I used the matte black glitter Twine to add some sparkle to my little snowman ornaments.

here are some other projects I made using The Twinery Twine

Felt Owl and Twine wearable

So it was my turn to show you a wearable way to use twine from The Twinery and I thought I would make a little owl brouch.  Here's what I did.

1. Cut 2 owl body shapes from felt plus 2 small circles of white felt for eyes.  

2. Cut a piece of fabric for the belly of the owl.

 3. I used fusiable webbing to "glue" the fabric to the felt.  This was just to keep it in place so I can sew it.

 4. I used the webbing to glue the eyes and beak.  Again to keep everything in place to hand stictch later.

 5. Since the Twine is made up of 4 strands I seperated them into 2 halves.  This made it easier to thread through a needle.

 6. Before completely stitching around the owl I lightly stuffed it. I added just enough to give it a puffy look not a stuffed look. (it that makes sense )  :)

 7. Now I hot glued a strip of self adhering velcro to the owl back.

Now all I had to do was wrap the velcro around my dogs collar and she's my little fashionesta

 or you can add a broach pin or hair clip to the back.  In this one I used the remaining 2 strands of twine and threaded it through some beads, tied a knot at the end and ta-da legs!!

Entwined with Daisies

A while ago I purchased Yo Yo's from Etsy.  I know they are fairly simple to make but I figured by the time I buy a bunch of bits of material then cut out the circles (I would of die cut them) then fold under the edges and stitch and pull them together it would be much easier to just click "buy now" and wait. :)  Then poof they appear in my mailbox. Meanwhile I also purchased this adorable daisy die and cut some felt flowers.  A little hot glue, some twine bows through the buttons and ta da....yo yo daisy's.

No just hot glue them to hair cllips...
