2. Glue the two A4 sheets together, front pictures, back pattern. You could sandwich a piece of card in the middle to make them more sturdy.
3. Cut out the rounds.
5. Then cut them out, leaving a 5mm edge so the paper and card is sealed inside.

fourth birthday : one
THE INVITATION - Fairy garden party
Moo asked for a Fairy Party this year. Our back garden is quite pretty but tiny so I thought it would be perfect for a little fairy garden party with just a handful of friends. I wanted to create invitations that feel a little magical when opened and like a taster of more of the party to come, so I came up with a tissue paper fan!
Instructions:
1. tissue paper fold this in 12mm consantina.
2. fold in half and staple at this point. cut ends round to create scolloped edge.
3. fold card strip in half, double side tape tissue fan inside card.
4. tape the centre of tissue together.
5. hole punch end and cut into point
6. tie string through hole.
7. put invitations in the envelopes and give a good sprinkling of confetti.
When you guests open the invitation it will fold out into a cute little fan.

christmas : one
Yesterday we spent a gorgeous afternoon at the Titirangi Rudolf Steiner School Advent Fair. I didn't really know what to expect but the highlight for me was making a wreath for our front door. I had I no idea how brilliant it would be, if I had I would have documented the process, instead I just have the reveal shot, above. This will no doubt be a yearly event so I will post in full next November.
My understanding of the Steiner school philosophy is that it focus' on the importance of our natural environment, creativity and freedom of thought. So making your own wreath is a perfect extension of these ideas.

macrame magic
We just completed our first craft workshop on basic macrame hangers. Everyone who attended loved it, so it was well worth the effort.
We thought we would share some photos with you...
We created a hanging display to show case the hangers we had made and different ways of using them. We were very lucky to include fascinating terrariums from Bio Attic in the display.
Everyone took home a potted succulent so they could enjoy their hanger straight away.
We also enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea featuring cakes from The Caker.
It was a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon, thank you to everyone who helped and came along!

paint dipped branches
I have seen so many things dipped in bright paint making interiors look fabulous lately. I have had this vase of branches in a corner of my lounge which I really like, but while I was busy spray painting animals for the Babiekins blog I thought why not add some turquoise to these branches. They are not technically dipped but spray painted, the effect is the same and so much easier. I really like them.
