Hello All!
Anyone else so happy to say hello to Spring this week? It’s felt like Spring for a bit now, and my iced coffee drinking, flip flop wearing self couldn’t be happier.

Here are some of my favorite Springtime crafts and tutorials to help you kick off the season…

Loving these Mason Jar Easter Baskets (oh my-those fabrics!) from Beautifully Rooted.

Amy, from Positively Splendid, shared this fun and colorful Spring wreath!

Darling Easter Egg Hunt bags from The Purl Bee.

I don’t know about you, but I love a good (and free!) printable. These from Tatertots and Jello are perfect to add to your Spring decor.

And while we’re on the topic of free printables…I am so smitten with this sweet bunny printable from Craftily Ever After!

And, lastly, I shared this on my Facebook page, but it’s too darn cute not to share here, too…

Happy Spring Crafting!

stitched felt votive holders (a tutorial)

March 26, 2012 By burlap+blue

Well hey there!
A couple of weeks ago, my sweet friend Kim, from Everything Etsy, send me some of her beautiful wool felt to add to my collection. I was immediately smitten with the quality and vibrant colors, and I knew I wanted to use it to create something special…

Materials:
felt
hot glue
votives
sewing machine or embroidery thread

Step 1: Cut lengths of felt (mine were about 1/2″ wide), and stitch down the center of each. Obviously, a sewing machine makes fast work of this, but, if you don’t have one, you can easily hand stitch with embroidery floss (choose a fun color)!
