The Halloween is approaching and we're crafting again!
Ela has started to ask if we going to make anything, sure we do :)
Our easy Pompom Spiders is a great cute way do make a home decoration, accessory and toy at the same time!
I love making pompoms but this time I wanted Ela to learn how to make them too.
Usually I use my fingers ( have a look here ) to create them but to make it easier for Ela we use this :)

Toilet paper tube for the small and can for the big pompom.

Here Ela is greeting you and is ready to start our tutorial ;)

Materials we use for Pompom Spiders are:

Along with scissors and hot glue gun of course :)

Lets begin!

First is pompom making...

Trim a pompom when you done.

Now, spider legs.
You will need 6 pipe cleaners...

then connect them into pairs to end up wit 3 long ones.

We then make a base for spider's body, this way it will be easier to attach them into walls, door ets.

Legs are going through two cuts in the circle. 

For spider's eyes Ela choose blue...wondering why :P

She then cut out a pair of sparkly eyes and black eyelids which she glued on top.

Next was attaching eyes and body to base using hot glue.

Ela then gathered 6 hama beads for the legs, this will make them look more friendly ;)

While she took a brake I bend and shaped all spider's legs.

Now was Ela's turn to finish off with a beads.

Aww :)

We then make a smaller spider and use toilet paper roll for a pompom body.

This time I attached crocodile hair clip so Ela or me could wear it too :)

They're looking awesome on the wall!

You can use blue tack or double sided tape, all deepens on how do you feel about condition of your wall.
I use the first one.

Spiders can make a fab dinner table decoration at the Halloween party, be hang or attached to your front door...

Or be a fabulous Halloween headpiece :)

                                    Enjoy!

Hello in October!
In today's post I will show how I did my Autumn wreath using felt and a round picture frame.
I absolutely love working with felt, it's very versatile and comes in every colour you can imagine :)
For this project I also use Poundland frame, cheap and cheerful ;)
Wreath I made can be use in many ways too.

Lets have a look at the process of making!
First of all - frames and felt.

I made some simple quotes in Canva which I printed out.
You can use your own or print those out, just click on the links below images ;)

Autumn

hello Autumn

 I then cut a simple leaf shapes out of felt.

Next was inserting a quote into frame.



To make it more appealing I add simple lateral veins...

The next step was creating a stalks to add some dimension to my leaves using hot glue. 

After that I could get on with gluing leaves onto frame...

The idea was to cover that plastic frame...

...so I glued the leaves on outside, inside and top edge of the frame.

Meanwhile I notice I need to make more leaves :)

There you have it!



Yes, I change a quote in last minute :)

The glass part and image can be even removed...

 


and transform into table centre piece.








Colourful hanging decoration at the back is very easy to make too!
Have a look at instructions here ;)

Why not to  simply hang it on the wall.



                                      Lets celebrate the season!
