pinhead

wouldn't these pinwheel-esque thingies make really nice homemade ornaments? just thread a needle with fishing wire or bakers twine, or whatever you want, and poke it through the top, make a loop, and ta-da - ornament-astic.

they are so easy to make and with the floral paper they really come out unique and pretty.

style me pretty did this super awesome tutorial, but after doing it once, it really is easy.


so cute!

So I don't do tutorials. not because I don't have them in my brain, it's cause I simply make something, forget to photograph it, and don't feel like re-doing it all just to show it off.

however, OTHER people do great tutorials.
this being one of them.

I've never been a "photo book" kind of person. I just organize my photographs (not that there is any such thing anymore: fail) into boxes and go through them when i'm feeling nostalgic. But this seems like a great way to be a photobook person if I ever were to become one!

Imagine - our children, when flicking through their baby pictures won't be sitting on the floor looking through dusty boxes like we do - there is such pleasure in that. They will be slouching in a desk chair, clicking arrows on a keyboard. I am 100% for ayo-technology however, what is there to be nostalgic about now?
miley cyrus?
i dont think so.
Popples! That's the shit I'm talking about!

If you are feeling the same way as me. and would like to create a solid representation of life, not just something with a power button - this is a cheap and easy tutorial to make a photo book (a good gift) without it being the average plastic cover junk.
