Hi there fellow Crafty People. Welcome to my little blog.  I want to share another craft created by my talented daughter  Cole . Today, we're hoping we can bring out the artist in you . Now let's take a look a Cole's DIY Woven Ribbon Art. Then imagine your version of this cute little project. Materials Canvas wrapped wooden frame in your preferred size Ribbon in your choice of colours and widths Glue or staple gun You can choose any size canvas that suits the space you intend to hang it in. Choose ribbon in colours that match items already in the room so that it will coordinate nicely. If you are making it for a bedroom, I suggest you use the bed spread as your colour inspiration. Cole glued the ribbon but I would prefer to use a staple gun. The staples won't show since you are shooting them in the back of the piece. We have three completed ribbon covered canvases which look fantastic hanging vertically in a straight line. It fill the spa

Hi everyone. This is my first try at making an Etsy Treasury. My treasury is called My Retro Red Kitchen. I choose this theme because red is my happy colour. So if it is yours too, you'll absolutely love the items in this treasury. Oh, and I decided to highlight kitchen items because ever since my daughter Nicole moved out, I have spent a lot more time in that part of the house. Happy!  Happy!  Happy!
