Make it Midweek - Another handmade gift idea!

Hello dear reader,

Here I am back with another handmade gift idea, this time it's a scarf using the lovely Katie Tutu yarn.
It's pretty pricey at £9.50 a ball (if you can call it that!) but it will give you one scarf and the best thing is that you can knit it in no time. I think this one took me about 2 hours and I hadn't knitted since Lily was born.

Excuse the photos, no matter how I put it didn't quite look right, maybe I'll take a photo of it on. This is for my aunty Mary who is coming over today from Malta. 

Here is a photo of the actual yarn in case you were wondering what it looks like!

I hope you have liked today's project. I also have some special Stampin' Up! news to share, due to there 25th Birthday this month, they have 25 stamp sets with 25% off. Pop over here https://www.facebook.com/headoverheelsbydlm to have a look and get in touch to order yours today! 

Make it Midweek! {Handmade gift ideas for you to make!}

Hello reader,

Today I bring you a handmade make, which I hope to inspire some of you into making handmade gifts!
My 'Make it Midweek' aims to bring you a handmade gift to give your friends or family for Christmas. This will  (hopefully) be a regular wednesday post, at least until Christmas! However, this was a birthday gift I gave a dear friend who loves butterflies!!

I used the beautiful Pappillon Stamp Set for the card and the gift box and as I said he loves butterflies so her gift was a lovely pair of matching butterfly earrings...

I used the shrink plastic to make this. I stamped the butterfly in Crisp Cantaloupe, punched it out and also punch out the tiny holes before they went into the oven! Within an hour I had these fab earrings, they are so cute!!

Will you have a go?  A very inexpensive and gorgeous gift to make! IF you do, please find me on my facebook page www.facebook.com/headoverheelsbydlm  and upload your photos, would love to see what you create!

I'll be back i a few days with last night's Scrapbook pages, until then...keep warm!
