Quick jazzed up jam jar

This jar was made for the Tickle The Imagination magazine shoot we did recently. The issue is out now and available from their website http://www.tickletheimagination.com.au It's such a gorgeous magazine. Hop on over and see if you can snap up some back issues too.

For this quick project we used a jam jar with a lid, which makes the perfect size for storing tiny treasures or everyday items like paper clips, rubbers or even a few rolls of washi tape! Glass jars are awesome. They're widely available, inexpensive and environmentally friendly. 

We used some gorgeous fabric tape from our friends at Sarbe www.sarbe.com.au The middle tape is a glittery paper tape. Washi tape would also work really well. 

Everlasting love simple screen print

Screen printing is one of my absolutely most favourite things to do and I learnt from the best in the business, Cath from Prints Charming Original Fabrics, here in Sydney. 

It can be costly to set up, so if you just want to try your hand at screen printing to see if you like the technique, then you can set up a very basic little screen for a few dollars. I bought everything here from dollar stores, and the frame from IKEA. 

The inspiration for this sweet print was from the Mardi Gras parade. My friend Erik pointed out a logo with the two joining hearts. I love the connection to the infinity logo...and I also love the pop of glamour the gold heart adds.

Gorgeous glittery heart tag for Mother's Day!

This weekend is Mother's Day here in Australia so here's a really quick and pretty project to make your presents even sweeter. 

We reckon any day is a good day to give a present...so even if it's not Mother's Day where you are, why not give a gift to someone just because?
