Happy 4th of July loom band bunting

Left it a bit late to make awesome decorations for your 4th of July party? Don't panic! This bunting looks amazing and requires almost no skill! Win! 

We used up a bundle of fabric scraps from old projects. If you don't have fabric scraps lying around you can pick up small amounts of cotton fabric cheaply at fabric stores. Check remnant bins for offcuts too. 

We've used loom bands because they seem to cover every surface around here at the moment. Of course you can use regular rubber/elastic bands or even tie the fabric scraps on.

Happy 4th!

Give thanks! Thanksgiving jar

This year we are grateful for so many things! For our families and friends...and for a new book contract! You'll be seeing even more of us in 2014!

 

Even though Thanksgiving isn't a holiday here in Australia, we think it's a good time to join our American friends and think about what we are thankful for! This project should come together fairly quickly and all of the components are flexible. Use what you can find! The head doesn't have to be a ball, you could use a piece of card instead. And if you don't have a glass jar for your notes, you could swap it for an ice cream tub or bowl. If you want a quicker project you can use a hot glue gun instead of waiting for the PVA to dry.

 

Thank YOU for visiting! We're thankful for you!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Psst...want a cheeky peek?

In the spirit of our book being released this coming week in the US, here is a sneak peek at our America project. We show you how to create a home for all those awesome fridge magnets you collect on your travels. And the best bit? It'll cost you next to nothing!
