Pen N' Paperflowers: tutorial | Tea Stained Paper Doilies There's something magical to me about the process of tea-staining. More than likely it's just the fact that new objects suddenly appear vintage... And it just so happens, anything shabby, vintage, or farmhouse-chic completely rocks my world!! Take for instance these tea-stained paper doilies... (The contrast between the original white doily and the three variety of tea-stained doilies is gorgeous!) I've cut small tea-stained doilies in half and used them as decorative wraps for shot glasses... I've turned them into flowers... And then used the flowers to adorn dessert tables... And added some to Ella's hat to go with her "Vintage Good Witch" costume this year. If you are interested in learning all about the simple technique of tea staining... keep reading!! You'll need some white doilies and a large pot of tea.I bought my doilies HERE - a fabulous kit containing both square and round varieties. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. • 5 minutes - very faint stain • 20-30 minutes - a nice apparent aged stain 7.
Keri Jill is 8 August is an unbelievably busy time of year for us. I think most of the activity is beginning to wind down. Jill and family headed back to New York last night but not before joining in the fun of Keri Jill's 8th birthday party. For some fun and inexpensive decorations, I made tissue pom-poms and streamers. Pinterest was my inspiration (follow link to see pom-pom's streamers, sunflower, fruit kabobs and piped butterflies). I went to my paper stash and used my one-and-only paper punch to make the streamers. After punching the scalloped circles, I simply machine stitched varying lengths and then thumb tacked them to the ceiling. Getting the room ready the day before The Birthday Girl arrives with her guests They ate, made a craft (next post) painted their nails, opened presents and had birthday cupcakes! Make a wish, Keri... hope all your dreams come true! Cheese & Grapes Sunflower (see Pinterest link above) I sliced a block of cheddar cheese into 1/4-inch slices and cut each slice diagonally.
Inspirami - RECEPT: Världens godaste chokladrutor Det här är det absolut godaste receptet jag vet på chokladrutor, jag vet inte var jag har fått det från men jag har haft det uppskrivet hur länge som helst. Jag tänkte att jag skulle åka och hälsa på på jobbet i veckan, det känns som att det var hur länge sen som helst som jag var där sist så jag tänkte ta med mig lite fika och vad passar väl bättre än den här. Det är också gott att ha i lite hackade nötter och/eller hackad coklad om man vill variera lite. Den är god som den är men man kan ju lyxa till det lite glass också om man vill.

How to Make a Cupcake Tower » Annie's Eats How to Make a Cupcake Tower A couple of months ago I posted about the Dr. Seuss-themed party I threw for my little man’s second birthday. In that post, I included pictures of a cupcake tower I constructed for the event. Let me say right off the bat that this method is simply a rough guideline. First, let’s talk about what we need: First, I prepare the base by hot gluing the styrofoam discs together in an even column. I glue together both cardboard circles of the same size, unfinished sides inward… To end up with a double layer. Repeat with the remaining sizes until all the cardboard circles are doubled up. I trace around each of the cardboard circles onto the card stock that will cover them and cut out the corresponding circle. Hot glue the card stock circle onto the cardboard circle to cover it and give it a finished look. Three pretty covered circles :) Now I use additional card stock to cover the soup cans that will act as the pillars. Do the same for the base.
giant paper flowers from ruche You may remember the wedding of our lovely D*S contributor Brittany Watson Jepsen. Her huge paper blooms made such a splash that she started selling them in her shop, and just recently Brittany wrote a great article for Brooklyn Bride about the paper flower trend. I’m thrilled that this is a growing phenomenon; I adore anything made in exaggerated scale, so I feel that the more giant flowers and plants there are in the world, the better. This particular giant-flower DIY project comes from the creative team at Ruche. Our creative team brainstormed ways to turn our spring lookbook, Enchantment, into a daydream.

How To Tuesday: Bouquet of Tulips. 12Jul/11 When I made my Chocolate Banana Cinnamon Muffins I got a lot of questions about how to make your own tulip baking cups. I described it briefly in the recipe but I thought it would be better if I just showed you. You can buy tulip baking cups but why bother spending money on something that you can make for next to free? Cut parchment paper into squares 2 – 3 inches wide. Continue until you've filled the muffin tin with the sweet tulip baking cups. Make sure to drop in tomorrow to see just how to properly use these adorable liners. I'll give you a hint. Sky High Lemon Meringue Pie Lemon meringue pie is probably one of my favorite desserts. I just love it! And although it might seem like a spring/summer thing, I totally think a little citrus during these cold months helps keep the winter blues away. But I love the bright, pop of citrus flavor any time of year. I used to find meringue-topped pies really difficult. Sky High Lemon Meringue Pie For the filling:3/4 cup sugar5 tablespoons cake flour3 tablespoons corn starch1/4 teaspoon salt1 1/2 cups water1/2 cup lemon + lime juice*zest from 1 lemon3 egg yolks For the meringue:12 egg whites1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar1/2 teaspoon corn starch (this helps keep the meringue a little drier, to avoid weeping)6 tablespoons sugar *Note: I like to use 1-2 lemons and half a lime for the juice. First make the meringue. In a glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer, beat egg whites on high until foamy. Now on to the filling and pie crust. To keep lumps out of your filling, start by sifting together the cake flour and corn starch.
