Easy Custom DIY Decor- Yarn and Twine Wrapped Ball Tutorial
Here's a super easy project that you can customize for your color scheme; yarn wrapped balls.
Materials:
Glue Gun or Glue Dots
Yarn/Twine/String/Rope
Styrofoam balls in desired sizes
Instructions:
1.) Glue one end of your yarn to the Styrofoam ball.
2.) Wrap and wrap until it's all covered and looks pretty.
3.) Cut the yarn and glue the other end down.
Yup, easy as 1-2-3. A cool DIY design project done in 20 minutes.
This would be a great housewarming or hostess gift! Easy, cheap, fast and made to co-ordinate with their decor!

Simple Favor
I had a local customer put in a big order and wanted to add a little something to say "thank you" while I was packaging it up.
The problems with this are many...
you have to keep costs down so you don't have to raise prices
you want it to be something fun or useful so it doesn't end up in the trash
you want your little parcel to still be able to fit through "The Slot of Doom" at the post office
Stroke of Genius! Hand stamped napkins. So simple, thoughtful and fun. Everyone uses napkins and they pack down flat.
Here are my adorable green matryoshka napkins. I think I want some for me! I think they would make great hostess gifts, add-ons for a foodie or fun to stamp in your theme for a party. Just make sure that you use waterproof/archival ink, or your guests may end up with mustaches!
