New item: Little Man mobile home collage


Continuing our mobile home series, we découpaged a cutout of a vintage compact trailer onto some gorgeous craft paper that looks like weathered, painted wood. We then hand-stained a wooden frame and put the piece inside. The frames are very inexpensive and the measurements not so precise. The glass didn't fit right away so we had to do a lot of chipping, carving, and chiseling to get it in. The end result is very pleasing, though.

New item: Upcycled napkin rings - Chocolate floral


We sold our first set of upcycled napkin rings and created a custom order for two more sets. Inspired and glad to see that people would willingly pay for decorated slices of a discarded paper towel tube, we created yet another set.

This one was made with pretty, chocolate-brown Japanese chiyogami paper on two rings, and brown dotted craft paper on the other. We hand-mixed a gorgeous sky blue in acrylics for the insides, and gave each ring a thick coat of textured high gloss acrylic. As a finale, we hand-stamped some dragonflies on a pretty little muslin bag for easy, cute storage.

Adorable and just in time for spring.
