Oh what fun it is to craft, with a little cork and lace–HEY! \u00a0(sung to the tune of “Dashing Through the Snow”)<\/p>\n
I loved making my first ornaments for this holiday season with a couple of free corks that I picked up at my local Whole Foods store and beautiful laces and trims from MelsCraftBoutique<\/a><\/span>. \u00a0A little galvanized steel wire from the hardware store, some hot glue, and some old baubles (if you want to add a dangle) with some standard jewelry making tools is all you need.<\/p>\n Inventory at Mel’s shop is updated all the time, but I’ve linked\u00a0to all the products I used in these altered cork ornaments that she has in stock\u00a0as of 12\/14\/2014: Bridal Applique<\/a><\/span><\/span>, Shimmery Leaves<\/a><\/span><\/span>,\u00a0Flower Spray<\/a><\/span><\/span>, and Mesh Leaves<\/a><\/span><\/span> (mine started a slightly different shape, but these could be used the same way).<\/p>\n Remember, my readers can get 10% off minimum purchases of $15 at MelsCraftBoutique with the DT coupon code: CraftyPaws10<\/strong>.
