A Little Argyle Lovin'

Good morning everyone! It's Karen from SCRaPPY CaNuCK STuDioS.

A few weeks ago, I was inspired by an argyle-themed wreath that I saw on Pinterest.  I figured that the only thing that could make it cuter was a little touch of twine.  So I grabbed my adorable Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine and got to work:

I used my TT to create the argyle pattern as well as to accent the center of the flowers.  A little yarn, a little felt and a little twine!  What can I say - it really is that easy!

Come on over to SCRaPPY CaNuCK STuDioS for all the details!  In the meantime, grab some twine int he store (Cherry Cupcake is still on sale until the end of the day but this wreath would look great in a variety of colors) and get crafty.  After all, anytime is a good time for argyle!

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!
