Supplies: cupcake liners, glue, and baker’s twine.

The best place to find colorful (and affordable) cupcake liners are at craft stores and places like Marshall’s or TJMaxx. They have tons of super cute designs like these multi-colored polka dot liners that we snagged for $1.99!

Directions:
1. Flatten a cupcake liner by pressing out starting from the center, all the way around.
2. Flip the liner over and fold it in half with the design on the outside.
3. Lay out the baker’s twine (or whatever string you choose) and fold the cupcake liners around it where you’d like them to go.
4. Glue the folded liners together making sure the string is securely in the crease.
5. Let dry completely and hang your garland!

DIY String Art

Today we’re sharing a super cute DIY that has been popping up all over Pinterest (how cool is this extra-large installation?!). String art decor is a great project for a rainy day and a name plate like this one would make a great gift!

Supplies: a piece of wood (anything from pallet wood to unfinished wood), nails, a hammer, printed letters, and colorful embroidery floss.

Directions:
1. Place the letters (or whatever design outline you choose) on to the wood. Keep them lightly in place with a piece of tape or a pin.
2. Add nails around the outside perimeter of the letters, equal distance apart.
3. Remove the paper letters and discard.
4. Tie a piece of embroidery floss to a nail and begin wrapping! Use a haphazard approach to wrapping so the string stays in place. When it looks like the picture above, you can stop, or keep wrapping to make the letters even more full. Have fun with it!
