Phone holder

Ok I've done the phone holder it was really fun, but very useful heres how to do it:

 First get your plug you can use one like this...

or this...

 draw round the plug on the container and cut it out.

Next cut a bowl shape on the front. Also cut off the lid and any other bits.

Make sure the plug fits if not trim a bigger hole.

 Trace the hole on to a sheet of A4 paper.















Then lay the pot on top and wrap the sides up.

 You may want to cut a bit of the waste paper of.














Next fold the end up like you would when wrapping a present.

Then wrap the paper and trim of any waste paper.










Next decorate you could use ribbons, bows, stickers, pens anytthing you like.

This is the finished thing.

You could use wrapping paper or paint it instead.

So what do you think?

Please comment and follow me x

Bookmarks

I've been busy again making bookmarks! I have so much paper to use aswell as stickers and things so i thought i'd use it up.

 This is my book mark.

This is my little sisters book mark.

This is anybodys im selling a few.

This one is for my dad.

This ones for any one to so I can add a name.














How I did it:

I cut a piece of card with a strimmer about 5.5cm by 17.5cm.
Then I cut a bit of patterned paper the same size and used double sided tape to stick it on.
After that I stuck on some decoration you could use ribbons, sequins, jems, or put a bit of card in the middle and put a name on anything you like.
Then your done.
I find it uses up a load of bits but makes a lovely handmade present.

So what do you thing of my bookmarks?

Cupcake Crazy

I've been busy in the kitchen look at what I've made! They are all so scrummy.

 They are plain cakes with vanilla buttercream.

I can't decide which one I like best!

From left to right:

Mini egg and vanilla, I used a fork to create an effect which looked like grass.
Orange and lemon, I used a knife to spread the butter cream down and sprinkle sprinkles on top. Smartie and vanilla, I used a piping bag to pipe this one. Jelly bean and butterfly (one of my personal favorites) I piped this one to.

Vanilla and flake, I piped little dots for this one. Vanilla and jelly tot, I smoothed this one down with a knife and put sprinkles on it. Vanilla and star, I piped the icing then sprinkled stars on it. Malteaser and chocolate sprinkle, I piped it and then decorated.

Marshmallow and malteaser, I smothed down the icing with a knife then decorated like a flower. Blue crunch, I piped this one then sprinkled blue sprinkles over the top I gave this one to my friend and she loved it. I've explained the bottom two cakes in picture number one.

I've explained the top two cakes in picture number two. Smartie and vanilla, I piped the icing then decorated like a flower. Black death and jelly bean, where I live we have a sweet shop called Mr simms They sell black deaths which are extremely sour boiled sweets with sherbert in the middle. I piped the icing and put jelly beans on to.

So which one did you like the most?

If you wanted to look at the Mr.simms web site here is the link http://www.mrsimmsoldesweetshoppe.co.uk/epages/es141191.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es141191/Categories
