World Oral Health Day DIY Banner

| mel@apeaceofcreativity.com

It is World Oral Health Day! My mom has worked for the same dentist for 44 years. Needless to say, oral health care was very important in our household. I wanted to make something special for Dr. T’s office as he has known me since before I was born and has taken such good care of not only my teeth but our entire family’s teeth. My mom and I designed this banner to hang in the waiting room and I am going to show you how you can make this DIY banner with customizable bunting shapes without the use of a cutting machine!

See how you can contribute to a really great cause, Cheerful Heart Mission and my tutorial for your own DIY banner on the Cardstock Warehouse Blog!

CRAFT NIGHT – FELT FLOWERS

| mel@apeaceofcreativity.com

A Peace of Creativity teamed up with Sara’s Bud Shop for a craft night full of making beautiful felt flowers!

The room was filled with inspirational photos, real flowers, and wool blend felt and poms in gorgeous colors from Benzie Design.

Each seat was set with a floral place card made with Cardstock Warehouse paper, a gold metal macrame ring to make a wreath, a glue gun mat, a goodie bag and their personal felt colors.

I had to include this lemon tart because my best friend made it but mostly because it’s beautiful!

And now for the best part!

These ladies were felt flower rock stars. Sara gave them the basics of flower construction along with some tips and tricks and they took it and ran with it, making each flower and each wreath their own. Some invented their own petal and leaf shapes and one even added an adorable little bee. See if you can find it in the photos above!

I know I say it every time but I always end these nights feeling so impressed and fulfilled. I love that everyone had fun and that they are taking something beautiful home that makes them proud to say, I made that!

Huge thanks to Sara from Sara’s Bud Shop for building out the tutorial, giving one on one instruction and making everyone feel comfortable and confident in their abilities!
