Treat Bags For Any Occasion

Hi, it's Izzy Anderson from Write, Snap, Scrap here on the Trendy Twine blog today with some owl treat bags. These are one of my favorite things to make. They're easy, don’t require fancy tools and are always a hit with recipients.  I used these as holiday gifts for teachers and staff, but the sentiment can be changed to fit any occasion. You can find the treat bag tutorial on my blog.

To make the owl's eyes, I punched two large circles from cardstock, covered them with adhesive, then added twine and googly eyes.  I used Trendy Twine in Holly (green) and Holly Berry (green/red mix).  

You have just a few more days to join our monthly challenge. It's easy to play and there's a great prize up for grabs! You can find all the details on this post.

A Big Welcome

Hi everyone!  It's Izzy Anderson on the blog today from Write Snap Scrap.  The Trendy Twine design team is featuring Orange Truffle on the blog this month.  Orange Truffle is a great mix of orange and brown and goes with almost anything. I used it on a baby card.

The twine gives a fun, whimsical look to the giraffe's long neck. Fringe like this is easy to make. I have a tutorial on my blog.

Have you checked out this month's challenge at Trendy Twine? There's a great prize up for grabs. You can find out all the details on this post.  You have until Nov. 30 to link your project.  We can't wait to see it!

Paper Pinwheels

Hi, it’s Izzy Anderson here with the Trendy Twine design team. I have a fun and easy summer project: pinwheels and paper flowers.

We’re using Berry Red Twine this month, which is a great versatile color to use all year long. To me, pinwheels just scream summer fun and they are really easy to make. To make a pinwheel, all you need is a square of double-sided patterned paper, your favorite twine (Trendy, of course!), glue and some sort of stick or dowel. You can find full project instructions and additional photos on my blog at Write Snap Scrap.

I paired the pinwheel with several flowers made from paper and chipboard for a fun and festive summer centerpiece. I used Berry Red twine in the pinwheel center and for the button bow and I used Twisted Lime for the veins of the leaves.

We’d love to see what you’re making with Trendy Twine. Just jump right into our July challenge here. It’s easy to enter and fun to win! You can find all the details on the Trendy Twine blog.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
