the inspiration is coming thick & fast...
& it's just what i need in this weather...
we're back to rain...sunny patches...then rain...well mostly rain really...
so i need to be inspired, between the sewing orders & the housey stuff, to take my mind off the lack of spring-ness round here...
one of my *favourite & best* blogs always inspires me to take a moment...
to create something pretty...just because it makes life that little bit lovelier...
today simone of gorgeous *beach vintage* fame shared these little tea light holders that she had made from cupcake wrappers....{see here }
well i was totally taken...
i couldn't wait to get across the road to our village cooking shop to get my hands on a pile of them...
but then, thanks to *pinterest* , i stumbled upon these images from *cupcake central* {see here}
that had used doillies as cupcake wrappers...
i figured if i incorporated the two...
i could save myself a trip across the road & make tea lights holders outa doillies...
simone's tea light idea...
cupcake central's doillie idea...
so this is where the darker, rainy
i could make these little beauties...& light them at 2pm to see how pretty they were!
& i know what you're thinking...& i agree...all good things do come in odd numbers...
i would have made three...but i only had two doilies of that size in the house...
& remember i was saving myself racing across the road...
so thankyou simone for the rainy-day-btw-the-daily-jobs-inspiration...
i do love them...
i'm thinking a whole row along the fireplace would be pretty cool...
incredibly pretty & give me my much needed daily doillie fix!
what d'ya think?
too easy...cut the doillie centre out...& join around the size of your tea light...
no measuring...when it fits snug...cut it...
i joined mine with a little white photo corner so it was unseen...
i could have glued...but that takes patience...
the rain took that away!
a whip-it-up doillie project for a wet & wooly monday
perfect!
