Spring Into Easter - Ideas by Secondsister


For the 'Love it All' Giveaway



Hello there! It's April from Secondsister Design.  I would love to share with you one of the ways I have used my twine lately.  I am a huge pom pom fan and so with Easter right around the corner I went looking for ways to use pom poms to make fun Easter things.  I came up with pom pom flowers for boutonnieres and bouquets.


I started by making a loose pom poms using The Twinery twine in pastel colors.  I added a yellow center to each flower for dimension. 

I tied off the pom poms with floral wire.  Then I used various elements to create the outside petals of the flower.  Paper flower petals are available at the crafts store or you can also cut your own.  I also used large rick rack on the boutonniere in the photo above.



I wrapped paper and ribbon around the bottom to hide the floral wire. Then I got out my hot glue gun and started adding embellishments like the buttons and bee in the above photos.

This was a super fun and easy project to do using twine.  The hard part will be to convince my boys to wear the boutonniere on Easter Sunday!



For this project, you will need:

The Twinery bakers twine in various colors.
Paper or silk flowers.
Ribbon.
Hot glue.
Embellishments.
Floral wire.

If you decided to make a few twine flowers make sure you photograph them and share them on The Twinery's Flickr group.

I'd love to see what everyone creates!

    is difficult to do for unskilled people? I've been hoping to develop my own website for a while now but have been turned off mainly because I've always
    believed it required tons of work. What do you think?

  28. First of all I want to say superb blog! I had a quick question
    that I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I have had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Cheers!

  30. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
    My website has a lot of unique content I've either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help prevent content from being ripped off? I'd certainly appreciate it.
