DIY YouTube Play Button

Time for another upcycling tutorial! This time, I will be showing you how to turn an empty pastille tin into a YouTube play button.

Easy Easter Crafts

With the shops already full of Easter eggs, I thought that I would start early and make a few Easter baskets and bags, so that I am ready for when the day arrives.

Miniature Tea Set

So, I challenged myself to see just how small I could make a paper teapot and teacup using my templates ... and this is the result!

Aren't they cute?

I scaled the teapot template down to approximately 11% and the teacup template to approximately 7% of the original size.

Yes, they were extremely fiddly to make, but if you fancy making one yourself, or if you think you can make one even smaller, then just remember, the smaller the size of the template, the thinner the paper or card you will need to use.

You can find the PDF templates for these items, and more, on my Etsy shop.

Happy crafting!

Paper Flower Tutorial

Following on from my paper rose tutorial, I now have a video showing how I create the different paper flowers that adorn the top of some of my teapot boxes. They are really simple to make and, I think you'll agree, they give the teapots a more elaborate quality!

I hope this inspires you to create some of your own different paper flowers. You can use a matching colour or a contrasting colour to add that extra special finishing touch to your teapot boxes.
