My passion seems to oscillate between yarn, fabric and paper. I have always loved paper and pretty much all crafts that involve paper. A few years ago I made this little box and did take some photos along the way, so I guess this is my first tutorial of sorts. Happy to answer any questions […]
If you have read a handful of my posts you will quickly learn that I love trying new crafts, amigurumi was yet another craft I wanted to try. I made these two love birds and added an initial bead [you can just make these out at the top of the photo] with ribbon to hang […]
