Trendy Twine Tuesday: Baby Carriage with Chocolate Truffle details

Hey everyone, Bee here for my Trendy Twine Tuesday!... :-)
The color we are showcasing this month is Chocolate Truffle, a beautiful mix of dark brown, caramel and white... :-)
For my project I decided to do a gift-card holder for friends who just welcomed their 6th boy!... :-)

It all started because of this cute little bear giftcard I found at Target and I instantly thought about the awesome little baby carriage Mary designed for SVGCuts. I was right because it was the perfect size, and they are quite a smashing duo I think... ;-)

I used some Chocolate Truffle Twine to make a little criss-cross pattern on the hood of the carriage, and also added some little bows on the sides.

Then I used some of the Sky Trendy Twine to make a little stitching on the sides too. It's hard to see in my pic but the cardstock is actually ivory colored and the twine is cream and pale blue colored. It has this soft vintage feel that makes it perfect for baby projects. :-)

If I had more time I would have added a line braided twine handle to mimic the carriage handlebar, but unfortunately time was of the essence... :-( This definitely was a fun project though and I love the result! :-)

Trendy Twine Tuesday-Pom-Pom Tutorial

Hi Trendy Twine Friends!

Are you ready for a Twine Tutorial?

Today, I thought I would share how to make cute twine pom-poms for your projects.

These are really cute and super easy!

Twine Pom-Pom Tutorial
Materials:
Twine
(Of course, preferably Trendy Twine!)
Fork
(I used a disposable fork I keep in my craftroom but any will do)
Scissors

Cut a piece of twine about 5 in. or so and keep it close. This will be used to tie the middle of the Pom-Pom.

Take the Fork and the Twine, wrap Twine around the fork 25-30 times.

This is what it will look like. Then take the piece of twine you cut and place it in the middle of the fork tines and tie it into a knot around the Twine.

After the Twine is tied securely, slide it off the fork.

Take your scissors and cut the two "loops" on each side.

Trim twine as needed.

Fluff your pom-pom until it the way you prefer it!

Here is my card with the finished Twine Pom-Poms.

 

Close-up of the cute Hello Kitty Cheerleader!!

I hope you enjoyed this Twine Tutorial! 

I can't wait for you to try it out and see all the super fun projects you can come up with!
