We now have a blog! Hooray!
This is where we can create our invitations, check in with what is new with each other, post photos, recipes, and all sorts of "good things."
I know what you are thinking, and I promise it is easy, and I'll show you how.
For now, let's talk about what we are making in February-
Above is a photo of the button tree I made today. It was fun and I only poked myself once.
I will provide the styrofoam cone and fabric to wrap the cone with. I will bring pinks, reds, or pastels (solid or semi solid is best so it is not to busy looking, and you just barely see the fabric under all the buttons). The cost for this is $2 (thank you Dollar Tree). If you have some other color scheme in mind, please call me because I'm sure I can supply the fabric in any color you desire.
You will provide:
1. buttons (a variety of sizes in a multi pack is best. I ordered mine on the internet at buttonsgalore.com) You will need lots. Sorry that is as exact as I can be.
2. pins - I used white ones from WalMart and pearly pink ones from JoAnns. I went for as cheap as possible, and WalMart is the cheapest for white. I used white on the first layer and then used the pearly ones on the top layer. I used 1 1/2 small boxes of white and one full box of pink.
3. If you can find something for the top, great. I didn't have much luck with this and ended up with three bigger buttons on top. The blog I got this from used an earring.
4. Something to put it in. The blog I saw used a cute little candy dish, but I think a saucer would work too. I haven't found the perfect dish yet for mine. If I find a great source, I will let you know.
Speaking of which, this idea came from this blog. Click on the word blog to see it. Scroll down to the November 17 post.
If you have any problems finding your supplies, please let me know and I will do my best to help. Remember, you can make yours any color you desire, it doesn't have to be for Valentines.
We'll see you at Carolyn's on February 7 at 7 pm.
Please leave a comment to this post to RSVP. Isn't technology great!
