Greeting Cards

It is always fun to send and receive greeting cards.

However, buying cards can be very expensive. We solve the problem by creating our own cards. 

Here are few samples of our cards

 During the Christmas time we saved old greeting card envelopes. We even went to the Dollar Store to buy cheap but ugly cards. We tossed away the cards but saved the envelopes to be later used for our own cards.

Crepe paper flowers

This year we celebrated Mother's Day with beautiful crepe paper flowers.

Don't these look like real flowers?

Fabric dyeing

An easy way to dye natural materials is to use plain old Kool Aid. Forget drinking it. Just mix a small cup of strong drink. Dip your paint brush in the sweet smelling mixture and paint your fabric. To set the paint you will have to heat set it by ironing or putting in a dryer.
