"Summer Social" Guest Project -- Make Pinwheel Placemats!!
Monday, July 25, 2011
Hello, everyone!
My name is Amy, and my blogging home is Positively Splendid, a little creative haven where you'll find everything from simple craft ideas to sewing projects, and just about everything in between. I would love for you to stop in for a visit!
I am so excited to be taking part in Jen's Summer Social! Today I'm going to share a quick project with you to punch up your table decor during your next outdoor gathering.
These fun pinwheel placemats are a terrific project to complete with fabric scraps you might have lying around!
step 3 / Add a dab of hot glue to the center of each of your trimmed pieces. Fold every alternating corner of your snipped sections up to this center point, as shown, pressing them firmly into the hot glue to secure them.
step 4 / Add a button or other embellishment to the center of each pinwheel to conceal the glued corners. Cut strips of ribbon or rick-rack that are the width of your placemats and adhere these to the left side of your mat with hot glue. Hot glue three pinwheels of descending size, from largest to smallest, along this ribbon, as shown.
All finished!
Amy!!
That is absolutely adorable!!!
I want to make some RIGHT NOW!!
Amy is one of my favorite blogging friends. We met for the first time at Blissdom and then we were able to hang out again at Creative Estates in April.
{Here we are, along with another of my favorite people, Lara from Less Cake {More Frosting}.
There are so many reasons that I love reading Positively Splendid. One of the main reasons is Amy's love of color!!
I love her Boy/Girl Room.
And her pillows are amazing. So so cute!
I could spotlight every single project that Amy has made on Positively Splendid, because I love them all so much and you will too!!
Be sure to head over and give her a big TT&J hello!!
xoxo
