Well I cleaned again today, but only cos my sewing desk was so messy!!

Which means I can now use my desk!!


Which is great, because I wanted to make a bunting.


For a girl who is getting married soon.


I wanted to make it out of as much recycled materials as possible. 
So I used pages from an old book.


I coloured the edges with the ink from a Distress Inks stamp pad.


Then scrunched up some tissue paper and stapled it to a flag.


Then thought it just needed something else - 
I lightly rubbed the stamp pad over the tissue flowers.


Perfect.
They are to hang over her desk at work, I'll take a photo of them when they're hanging up.

I think I like having a clean desk!
Hope you're all having a great weekend,
Carole :)

So did she like it? I would be so surprised if she didn't! Beautiful bunting! Inking the flowers was a perfect idea.
