Hi! This is Jen with Jen's Ink Spot here today! I am so happy to share with you today a project that I made recently and decorated using the Twinery's twine!
First
I started with a tall, old jar that I liked the shape of. I took
muslin and measured the size of the jar so it could easily wrap around
the jar.
I liked the look of the raw edge of the muslin on the jar, so I kept the frayed end and used my Lilac Twinery twine
and a needle to stitch the muslin together to create a wrap of sorts
that would slide on and off of the jar (I did use a little double sided
tape to help the wrap stay put.)
To
decorate the jar I took felt circles and buttons and stitched them with
the twine. I love the little detail that this gives and it is super
quick and easy.
I
also took beads with wide holes and threaded them on to a strand of
twine and then wrapped it around my jar. I knotted the twine before and
after my bead groupings to keep the beads on the strand where I wanted
them.
After
I finished decorating the outside, I put a couple of handfuls of river
rock into the jar and then placed a LED candle on top so that it would
just peek out right above the top of the muslin.
Here is the candle all lit up!
Thank you for joining me today! I hope you enjoyed this project!
Hi! This is Jennifer Ingle from Just Jingle here with you one more time! Today I have two super fun cards to share with you showcasing how to use twine as the PRIMARY embellishment on your card. I LOVE twine, so I really enjoy using it as the focal point on cards and projects!
For my first card, I used the fabulous Buttercream twine and coiled into circles to use as the embellishments on this card.
I just love how something so simple can become so fabulous with just a bit of manipulation!
My second card utilizes LOTS of colors of twine...a full rainbow, in fact! All of these colors are included in the Ultimate Sampler Pack. I combined the twine with a perfect sentiment for a card full of color!
To create the rainbow block, I simply cut a rectangle of cardstock slightly smaller than what I wanted the finished block to be (the twine adds some bulk, so you want room for that!) and then wrapped an equal number of rows of each color. I adhered the block to the card and stamped the sentiment beside it!
I hope you have enjoyed the ideas I have shared with you!
Hi, this is Dorangela from Two Prince Bakery Theater, visiting today! I am so excited to share this fun and simple project with you! When the new The Twinery colors were released, I was inspired to create something with a nautical feel using the new Midnight Blue color twine! This is what I came up with! I hope you enjoy it!
Nautical Coffee Sleeve using Midnight Blue The Twinery Twine
This
project was so simple and great for a beginner. I used a regular
cardboard coffee sleeve and wrapped it with felt using my glue gun. Next
I wrapped the entire felt covered sleeve with twine and adhered the
ends with a dot of glue so that it would not unravel. Next I used some
nautical ribbon that I had purchased to make a simple bow. I finished
the bow with two cute buttons. Both of these were affixed to the coffee
sleeve using my glue gun as well.
Nautical Coffee Cup Sleeve
This
would be great for yourself or a great little gift for all the coffee
drinkers in your life! The possibilities are endless!
Hey, y'all! It's
Shannan here with a quick little card for you. Today is our first day
of school down here in Texas, and I wanted to make a card for my 4th
grader to find in his binder tomorrow.
I thought some Charcoal Twine
would be pretty adorable as shoelaces, so I cut some gray panels
trimmed in black and punched holes for the laces. A half circle works as
the toe, and I added some stars on the sides and a cute little
sentiment. I hope this makes his day!!
Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope you have a fabulous Monday!
Hello!! This is Amy Crockett
here to share a fun school themed project with you. Since school is
about to start here (or has already started in many places), I thought I
would share a great project that you can create to tuck into your
child's backpack that will help brighten their day while at school.
I
cut the circles (two welded together) and scallop circles out on my
Cricut machine and added some stamped and cut out images from Peachy
Keen Stamps. I added some black pen stitching along with white pen
detail to the apple to make it look like it has some shine.
For the worm, I added some glossy accents to the glasses to make them look more real. I tied the top of the apple with some Peapod bakers twine to add a leaf like accent and then I attached the little tags to the pencil bundle with more Peapod bakers twine.
I just stamped the grade that my kids are in to the inside and left room to write them a little note.
Hey there everyone, Stacy here today
to share a fun project with you. I simply LOVE to create mini albums.
I usually have at least 3 going on at all times. When I bind my albums
I usually use binder rings and tie lots of ribbon on them, or I will
use the Cinch machine. I saw this super cool binding technique and I
had to give it a go!
I
needed drywall mesh...(which I had a whole roll of thanks to hubby),
and some kind of knitting yarn! Now I know nothing about knitting, but I
thought well it can't be very different than my Twinery Twine right???
So for the paper that I was working with the Cantaloupe twine was what I
grabbed. The stitching technique that I tried is called the copic
stitch. Now I don't think I could explain this to you no matter how
hard I tried, but I'm going to share the YouTube link of Marion Smith's
that I found at the end of this post.
Ok
now my album is not complete yet, but I wanted to share the binding
with you before I finished my mini. Here is what the side of it looks
like. If you don't like the mesh on it, you can also do it without the
mesh.
Here is a close up photo for you.
For
this mini I used 11 pieces of pattern paper and folded them in half to
stitch through. Here is what the inside of each folded page will look
like.
Well
that's all from me today, I sure hope that you try this fun binding
technique. With all of the fabulous colors of twine, you will never
have to worry about it matching your papers. Here is the YouTube video so you can see just how easy this stitch is to create.
Hi Twinery friends! This is Ashley from This Heartmade Life,
where we're waving goodbye to the dog days of summer and ushering in
another beautiful Fall. And what better way do to that than to adorn
your home with beautiful handmade and seasonal items, which is exactly
what This Heartmade Life and my etsy shop is all about. My children
haven't grown into a love of autumn yet and have been bummed about the
rapidly approaching school year. My oldest is in flat out denial and
refuses to even consider school shopping. To help them transition into
school mode and get them excited for a new grade, new teacher, and new
classroom, I've been busy crafting a slew of "Back to School"
decorations and goodies. Today I'm sharing one of those projects with
all of you - my School Days Chalkboard wreath! We're planning to use it
as a fun way to count down the days until The First Day, and after that
I'll hang it over the kids' homework desk and write encouraging
messages on it. This would also make a great Back to School gift for
your favorite teacher's classroom door. The ability to change the
message inside makes this such a fun and versatile project!
Can you believe that this adorable wreath started with just a cardboard circle, traced from a plate?
After I cut my
circle from a leftover box, I covered it in some chalkboard vinyl that I
found for dirt cheap and have been hunting for uses for ever since. To
build the wreath, I decided to cover wood clothes pins with school
themed scrapbook paper. I loved these rulers in the bright colors! To
save myself some tedious cutting, I measured the face of the clothespin
and had my Cameo cut all those tiny rectangles. (.375" by 3" for most
plain clothespins.) I then ran the paper pieces through my Xyron
sticker maker, fancied up those pins, and started clipping them all
around the circle. I love a good shortcut!
Adding to the color scheme, I made a few whimsical pinwheels complete with button centers and a bit of The Twinery's baker's twine
in Mandarin, Maraschino, and Marigold (say THAT three times fast!). I
have said this a gazillion times before, but I adore the added touch
that this gorgeous twine gives all my projects. No other brand has the
same awesome thickness and bold colors that match everything.
For another
sweet school touch, I used one of the newest twine colors, Midnight
Blue, to "draw" numbers on some primary school patterned paper. To get
this look, I simply wrote out my numbers with a glue pen, lightly tacked
down lengths of baker's twine and the cut the strands down once they
were dry. Much easier than trying to measure out the exact distance!
A little hot
glue to secure the numbers and pin wheels and this wreath is set. For
the hanger, I tied 2 strands of baker's twine (in Marigold and
Cappuccino) in a circle and clipped it to a clothes pin that I hot glued
to the back of the wreath. Use a wipeable chalkboard marker to write
your message and stand back and admire your handiwork while you drown
out the wails of your children mourning the end of another glorious
summer. :)
I'm a huge fan of altered projects and often buy items with the
thought, "I can do something cool with this!" in the back of my mind.
Hi, I'm Monika Wright
and please tell me I'm not the only one that has this thought swirling
around in their head from time to time. My project began with a
clearance canvas as my base and one of the four newest colors of The
Twinery twine to hit the market...Strawberry!
While
the paint was drying on my canvas, I wanted to cover up the design that
was already there, I gathered supplies: floral wire, baker's twine and
wire snips. I roughly drew my word onto paper and bent the pliable wire
to form the word create. It wasn't until I was finished with that word
that I decided to add the "i" and use a heart to dot it since "love" is
in my blog name!
With
a little patience and a little time, I had wrapped my letters and was
ready to place it on the painted canvas. In retrospect, I do believe I
would have used a different color twine for each letter. It would have
seemed a bit more, hmmmm, creative.
Just
think of the possibilities...Christmas ornaments, gift toppers, name
art for a kid's room. Ready, set...go pull out some wire and twine and
get ready to create! Oh, and have fun!
Hi! This is Jingle from Just Jingle!
I am so VERY excited to be a guest here at The Twinery! I LOVE twine
and I LOVE the Twinery, so it's pretty much a perfect fit. Just say'n.
Today I have a fun little gift set to share with you! I created a
simple, but adorable pendant and a card to go with it!
To
create the pendant, I began with a Tim Holtz glass vial and filled it
with pink glitter! I firmly believe that STARTING a project with
glitter can only end well. Just say'n. I then wrapped a bit of washi
tape around the vial and then wrapped it with Caribbean Twinery Twine. I added a simple, vintage button to finish off the main part and then tied just a bit of Pink Sorbet Twinery Twine around the top in a cute little bow. YAY!
I then created a fun card to go with the pendant using Jillibean Soup papers and Hero Arts stamps along with the Caribbean Twine from The Twinery. I tied just a teensy bit of the twine around the bike handle for a bit of added fun! LOVE!
This
set was a lot of fun to create! I love how a bit of twine can add SO
MUCH to just about any project!!! Thanks for stopping by and feel free
to visit me on my blog, Just Jingle!
One of my most favorite ways to use The Twinery's twine is make circle embellishments with it, just like on this card right here.
Cool, huh?
These little circles of twine (made with Strawberry, Ocean and Seaweed twine) are super easy to make.
You just need any color of twine, scissors and your fingers.
Start by wrapping some twine a few times around three fingers. For a smaller circle, use two!
Then
gently remove the twine from your fingers, keeping the twine in the
shape of a circle. Cut a second piece of twine and bring around the top
of your twine circle.
Use that second piece of twine to tie a knot in your twine.
Snip
off the ends of the your twine pieces and you'll get a fancy twine
circle. Make a whole lot of twine circles by trying with all of The
Twinery's colors of twine.
You can use any clear liquid adhesive to mount the circles to your card or scrapbook page.
And
for added visual interest, mount the circles to cardstock and then
brush a little glitter glue in the middle of them like I did on my card.
Today I´m going to share with you a bunch of party invitations I have done for my daughters upcoming birthday.
Oh
my! she is growing up too fast, and for her 7th birthday she wants to
have a movie night with her girlfriends, and she wanted invitations to
match the theme... And it should be Pink!
so
what to do??
I brought out my old QK Silhouette, and made some
invitation party folders... thinking this might be how the actors scripts for a movie role is kept and I had some beautiful Lily Bee
Victoria Garden papers
perfect for the job, and The Twinery- Pink Sorbet was
just the perfect touch making my sweet girl giggle
Oh La La!!!
Isn´t it cute? And the best part.. it took me less than an hour to make them and having them ready to be delivered.
