Cinco de Mayo Centerpiece Tutorial Featuring Sabor Papel Ole' Collection

Hi everyone, Tammy here today sharing a Cinco de Mayo centerpiece tutorial with you. With Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, I was looking for a simple but cute centerpiece idea for our annual Cinco de Mayo party. I found this Roses Lantern cut file on the Silhouette Design Store and thought it would be great cut out of the vivid cardstock from the Sabor Papel Ole' Collection.

Supplies I used:

Sabor Papel Ole' Collection cardstock

Silhouette Design Store Roses Lantern cut file

Silhouette Cameo Machine

Dollar Store candle

Fabric flowers

Adtech adhesive runner

How I made it:

1. Purchase file from the Silhouette Design Store and cut the design out of the cardstock.

2. Fold tabs and add adhesive

3. Bring all sides together and form lantern

4. Set lantern over candle and on top of base made from 6.5 inch square cardstock and add some flowers for decoration. 

Isn't this a cute centerpiece for a party? The cutouts make it look just as cute at night as it does during the day. Perfect for our Cinco de Mayo party :) I hope this gives you some ideas for centerpieces for parties of your own!

Pinch Proof St. Patrick's Day Hair Bow Tutorial

 Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! This morning I thought I had all of my bases covered. My daughter and I made these cute St. Patrick's Day gifts for her friends, so I thought I was done with the St. Patrick's Day projects. But my daughter came to me this morning in panic and told me she needed a hair bow for her friend to match hers! Lucky for her, I had ribbon on hand and my handy dandy Proxxon Hot Wire Cutter on my work table from another project I had just completed. 

Supplies:

Proxxon 37080 Hot Wire Cutter THERMOCUT

Hair Elastic

Ribbon

 How I made it:

 Use a Proxxon Hot Wire Cutter to quickly cut and heat seal (20) 6 inch ribbon pieces.

Tie each piece around a hair elastic and that's it. 

This project always packs a big impact for very little time spent. My daughter's friends always love receiving hair bows from her, and she enjoys making them herself. Maybe she has an Etsy Store in her future?
