Apple for the Teacher Card with Rebekah Faries

Apple for the Teacher Card
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Rebekah Faries

Teachers tend to get gifts at the beginning and end of the school year, when parents are happy to send their little ones off on the bus after or a long Summer or when they are excited to have them back after a full year of school.

I love this card that Rebekah has made and think it would be perfect for giving to a teacher now. A kind of "I know you are in the thick of it and we appreciate you" pep talk.

To all the teachers out there who have helped me and my children over the years - thanks so much!

DIY Gold Glitter Striped Muslin Bag Tutorial with Rebekah Faries

DIY Gold Glitter Striped Muslin Bag Tutorial
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Rebekah Faries

Rebekah is big into gift wrapping lately and so for her most recent tutorial she decided to try her hand at decorating bags. Curtsey Boutique muslin bags are perfect for tucking in smaller gifts when you don't feel like wrapping with paper.

Gold seems to be the color of the moment and feathers are fun and everywhere you look in the crafting world.  Today's DIY technique teaches you how to mimic the beautiful gold glitter bands on Rebekah's bag.

The secret is using double sided quick hem tape which can be found in any sewing store.  

Regular double sided tape won't stick to fabric well, but quick hem tape is made for fabric and holds beautifully.

1. Simply decide how many bands of color you want, trim to size and adhere. 

2. Be sure to rub all over with a bone folder (or your fingers) to guarantee great adhesion of the tape to the fabric.

3. Peel off the protective paper and cover generously with glitter.

4. Press the glitter into the tape before tapping off any excess.

Voila! Mess free bands of yummy gold glitter.

Add Baker's Twine and other embellies to jazz up your bag.

outside.

Stretching the fabric around as you go, glue to the backside of the cardboard circle until it is all

hoop

It is snowing in Georgia this morning! I can't believe it. For us flurries are a very rare thing - we didn't see a flake last year and I'll be honest I'm no fan of the cold or shoveling.  

This lovely card by Rebekah, however just warms my heart and makes up for the dismal weather. Showcasing our corrugated silhouettes and doilies, a sweet shower of confetti hearts are the perfect finishing touch.
