Haberdashery kits by Artofmini

I have finished some of my Artofmini (www.artofmini.com) birthday kits when I was on holiday in Belgium (rain, rain...)! I really enjoyed it (hehe the kits not the weather..).
Kit 70A Sewing Kit / Sewing Necessaties


Notebook/Diary/Folder with fashion patterns (also kit 70A) I have done also a little biro...and glued some tiny tiny fabric scraps on the pattern....so it looks more realistic....


Extra fahion patterns and ads..(also kit 70A)....


Kit no 75B Button Display with Cards and Crystals (a lot of work!!!)



Kit 46 Cortelli Cotton Spool Box - I will put some wooden spools in the box...maybe I can do also a display...I will show you the result in the next days....

I wish everyone a nice weekend,
Sonja

Craft materials by Kerstin

Kerstin sent me a parcel with craft materials! Wow vielen vielen Dank liebe Kerstin (Thank you dear Kerstin!!)
Lots of fabric for my haberdashery shop..and other projects!! I really love the flower fabrics (the cream one with the roses is my favorite...)

Ribbons, beads, paper ornaments, 4 ceramic dolls (heads and arms.....the heads are perfect for a millinery shop.....and the arms??? Any ideas? A horror project? Maybe I can glue some lace on the arms...gloves???

Rooster Tray Tutorial

Here you can find the rooster image:

My printie is 2 cm x 2,7 cm

Do some handles with wire/beads...the small side of a Lego stones is perfect for that job....glue the handels in your tray (Tacky Glue)..put some glue directly in your tray (toothpick)and than add the handle...

Glue hat-straw around the tray...start in the middle of the small side..

Glue some fabric, paper.....on the other side of the cardboard. After drying cut the rest away....

Glue the printie on cardboard (Tacky Glue) and varnish it (matt varnish)
after drying cut it out carefully

Don't cut the paper tiles - just folding (I use the not cutting side of my scalpel and a metall ruler) Attention: this is not a tool for kids...!

I hope you like my little tray tutorial...Enjoy!
A big hug from Germany,
Sonja
