Milk Bottle Top Mini Embroidery Hoop

 

I love me some Milk Bottle tops, I seriously collect every single one of those badboys and have an embarassingly huge stash. Well this cute little sucker started out as a Milk Bottle top, yeah seriously it did.

 

I took part in a Craftster Tiny House swap recently, and could not decide on what to make for my partner, in the end I made two different houses one decorative and one a functional useable bonafide (fill in the blanks, sorry swap pard'ner so spoilers, not on my watch!)

 

This was just a see how it goes cross stitch no pattern deal and I think it turned out so cute, what isn't there to love about something teeny tiny, pink and with a bow on top. 

 

 

Fancy making one of your own? Check out my tutorials page for your step by step instructions. They work up quickly as you can imagine and are a great way to use up the scraps of Aida after framing a larger cross stitch piece.

 

Coming up? Those amazing ribbons? finally a teeny tiny taster of a larger project that's in the works.

Fabric Valentine Cards

Why haven't I tried this before? using Fabric on cards, Papercrafts are such a strange and foreign land to me but give me a scrap of fabric and I can make the proverbial silk purse out of a Sows ear.

I picked up some teeny tiny folded cards thrifting which were a great size and came with envelopes buttt they were birth announcements so the front needed to be altered. A few fabric scraps machine stitched on to the card, some felt, letter shapes, Baby Rick Rack and sequin edging and BAM teeny tiny Valentines cards for my little heartbreakers harem of Preschool girlfriends.

 

For size comparison a regular card sized envelope in the background.

Excuse the hot glue gun, I just do not have the patience to wait for white glue to go off, so if I craft and it calls for Glue there's only one type for me and I make it work, burnt calloused fingers are my hallmark.
