Picture Wall Art

These are the other items on the picture wall which i made before i started blogging.

  
Fabric circles appliqued to some white cotton and tiny hearts punched from a map of our local area

  
Cute wrapping paper i found in Sydney Australia and a gorgeous silk painting of a boat, a card from many birthdays ago

  
A beautiful piece of calligraphy given to me by my Aunt, again many years ago and a felt heart i made for lovely BM when we first moved in together

Teabag Boats

I love herbal teas, i dont drink normal tea or coffee but i love chamomile tea and green tea. Herbal teas normally come in a stringed bag and for some reason i always think it would be cute if the string had something attached to it! No idea why, but i thought i give it a go!

So i made some little origami boats from paper

 and stapled them to the string.


Then gave them a dunk! Theyre only paper so they went soggy pretty quickly but they were pretty good for a prototype!

 

Arent they cute!
I'll have to figure out how to make them last a bit longer when wet, possibly use thin plastic instead of paper, but a good first go
