Bow ties and Bows







And We're Back....

Since Kamdon made his grand entrance, this blog has been poorly neglected. I had all of these projects ready to share with the blogging world and they were pushed to the way side. So if anyone still checks on this, forgive the absence and the old holiday decor. Stay tuned for Kamdon's story, updates, and more DIY's!


First up- the Easter Carrot Garland. This garland was super cute and really easy to make. It came from Modern Parents Messy Kids.

Here's a list of simple step-by-step instructions with pictures to follow. 


1. Take orange colored paper and cute desired number of carrots 2.5" wide and 11" long. Fold in half.



2. Repeat with corresponding green colored paper 1.5" wide 11" long. 

3. Cut three strips for every one carrot.



4. Cut each strip in half. 



5. Line the three strips up.


6. Fan out and crease bottom 




7.  Fold orange strips 1/2" down and crease.

8. Fold creases inward.

9. Insert green strips in between folded creases. I raised the middle green strip slightly above the others.

10. Turn and staple everything together.

11. Repeat with each carrot.

12. String through each carrot to create a garland.

13. Line up, hang, and enjoy!
