The American Angle
http://betterdecoratingbible.com/tag/decorations/
This time I have chosen to feature an American inspered table setting. The elements would as such not be diffecult to find:
1. White and red stribed cloth
2. red lanterns and metalic pots - could be any color and you could DIY them red
3. Blue glasses.
I am especially fond of the detail with the stribed ribbon on the flowers.
Paper cone wreath
tutorialToday´s featured DIY is a very comon idea of a paper cone wreath. I would however like to point out the idea of framning it and hangning it on the frame. I think that the option to interchange the "things" in the frame aka some thing for easter and another for christmas.

Todays DIY
I must say I think I am getting close to todays DIY - moveable centerpiecesSource
For this project, I gathered
- an old canvas
- acrylic craft paint
- my Silhouette Studio Designer Edition software
- my Silhouette Cameo.
I created my spring stencil using the Silhouette Studio Designer Edition software which allows me to select fonts, sizes and shapes to create a stencil template. Then simply ‘send’ to cut…
Since I’m using my vinyl as a stencil, I removed all of the letters (these can also be saved to use in the same was as stickers or transferred directly to wood or glass as a vinyl transfer).
Use transfer paper over top of the stencil to transfer the vinyl stencil to the canvas. Rub into place and peel away the transfer paper.
It’s not quite that simple. Vinyl doesn’t stick so well to canvas, so it takes a lot of patience. Go slow.
The stencil is all ready to go.
I filled in my lettering with white acrylic craft paint. Since the vinyl does not have a great seal, I’m using my stencil as a guide and filling in the letters with a little bit of paint on the brush, pressing down the vinyl as I work on each individual letter. Slopping it on, will get under the vinyl.
Next, I carefully removed the vinyl stencil as soon as I finished painting and let my canvas dry.
Then just collected some of my favorite spring-y decor and created a vignette around my DIY spring sign as a focal point. Good bye winter blues!

With the tutorial
Pretty Tissue FlowersThese delicate petals create an elegant centerpiece whether scattered down the center of a table or piled on a platter. To create, cut a flower shape or 3-inch circles from eight layers of tissue paper. Place in a stack. Next, poke a hole through the stack with a pin. Pull the paper off the tip of a twist tie and insert the exposed wire through the paper layers. Twist the wire to create the flower center. Make the flower bloom by gently pulling up one layer at a time.
Cleaning tips
Oven cleaner: 5 T baking soda, 4 T vinegar, 3 drops of Dawn and mix into a paste. Coat the oven, let sit for 15 min and scrub clean. Say NO to Fumes
Soak orange peels in vinegar for two weeks in a sealed mason jar then pour the vinegar into a spray bottle. Use as a non-toxic and yummy smelling green cleaner. I love using vinegar to clean with but have always wondered how to make it smell better. Maybe lemons too??
