Happy Friday!!!
I am so glad that it is Friday, it has been a long week and I am looking forward to the weekend!
I finished these little projects a few weeks ago and I am still loving the result. Amazing how such a little thing can bring happiness whenever it catches your eye!
Firstly I put my scrap booking supplies to use and made these very simple napkin ties.
I used my round cutting tools and some scrapbook paper to cut out two different sized circles
Then I played with my new foam stamps and monogrammed each one with an M (for McCarthy, just in case you didn't pick that up, it is Friday after all)
Punched a hole through both circles and used some string to tie them both together
To tie the tags around the napkins I attached some more string with the hot glue gun.
I added some buttons from my stash of spare buttons over the spot where the string is attached (using the hot glue gun)
I discovered the amazing Graphics Fairy Blog
You can download all sorts of graphics and templates for free!
I thought I would play around and create some labels for my cleaning products.
Another little project finished! Yay!
I thought I would play around and create some labels for my cleaning products.
I printed out a page full of the round labels onto plain paper and cut them out.
You can re size them as required.
I made my labels double sided and then laminated them to make them last longer. I punched a hole in them and using the trusty string tied them to my spray bottles.
Another little project finished! Yay! Hopefully soon we will be starting and finishing some bigger projects that I could share with you.
Have a great weekend everyone.

You did a great job! Love the cleaning bottles. What a great way to brighten up ordinary products.
ReplyDeleteThe table looks fantastic! Love your napkin holders, they really personalise a dinner party. I like to do the same with place cards! What a great idea for cleaning tags. I also use the same bottles for my cleaning products - they currently have boring labels - now I feel the need to replace them! Thanks for sharing - off to view the graphics fairy. Have a great weekend. Michelle
