Poppy Hair Clip Holder

Hi Folks, Laura here with a quick hair clip holder.

I've recently had a haircut and I am, apparently, unable to buy just two of something... I must have every colour! So I needed a way to store these new accessories.

I pulled out some Swiss Dots ribbons in colours to match the Spring Ribbons Poppies and set to work.

I used two barbeque skewers to give the Poppy ribbon some stability and hung lengths of grosgrain between them. A few stitches here and there to secure things was all it took. I added some 3mm grosgrain to hang the holder and added a couple of mini bows as a finishing touch.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hanging Advent

I grabbed the numbers ribbon from the Nisse range and wondered how it could be used in a sewing-free way...

I pasted the back of the ribbon with matte medium (PVA glue will do too!) and allowed to dry before cutting into individual numbers. This stops the ribbon from fraying. Then I gathered up 24 little envelopes to hold my advent treats - nothing huge just a chocolate or two.

I used matching colours of 3mm to tie each number to an envelope and then attach it to a string of Christmas tree beads. Quick and easy, and very effective!

Thanks for looking,
Laura
