HOW-TO
MATERIALS:
White sequin star decals
Paint the dowel if desired. Set aside to dry.
Cut the pennants of the garland to desired size, add 2 ½” to the desired height to wrap around the dowel. Fold each pennant in half then use a straight edge and rotary cutter to cut diagonally from the bottom of the center fold upward to create the pointed bottom detail.
Attach the pennants to the dowel. Space the pennants on your work surface as desired, place the dowel then wrap around and adhere on the edge to the back side.
Draw out or print, cut out then trace the letters onto the felt then cut out.
HOW-TO
MATERIALS:
Circle cookie cutters in two sizes one ¾” larger than the other
Wax paper, silicone mat or another non-stick surface to work on clay roller or rolling pin
Knife
To Create the Terrazzo Spoon Rest
Roll out the base color of clay, we used white, into a large slab on a non-stick surface. Pro tip: leave the slab slightly thicker than you want the spoon rest to be because it will be rolled out a little more later.
Roll out ½” thick logs of colorful clay, we used coppers, terracotta and brown.
Cut the logs into small chunks.
Embed the chunks of colorful clay into the slab. Place them then use a rolling pin to flatten the chunks into the slab.
HOW-TO
MATERIALS:
Elastic cording
INSTRUCTIONS:
If you want to stain or paint the beads, do so now. Place them on a bamboo skewer to paint with ease. Rest skewer on a deli cup, set aside to dry.
Measure how much elastic you’ll need to make the beaded bracelet. Wrap the elastic around the groove, cut with a few inches of excess.
String the beads onto the elastic. Knot to secure.
Cut any excess cord.
Slide the beaded bracelets onto the candlesticks.
Arrange into your décor and enjoy!

HOW-TO
MATERIALS:
Black felt
Scissors
INSTRUCTIONS:
Cut a 6” piece of rope for the handle.
Adhere the rope in a spiral around the body of the pot. Flip the pot upside down so that the wider, top end is facing downward then attach the rope with hot glue as you go. Stop at the top edge. PRO TIP: If you run out of rope, secure the end and start with a new piece where you left off.
Loop the 6” cut piece so it has a tail on each end then adhere it to the center of the top, which used to be the bottom, of the pot so that it stands up.
