I Have an Etsy!

If you have been on my blog lately, you may have noticed my new sidebar design. I started an Etsy shop! Click on over to see some of my products. My shop is still new, so I only have a few items in it, but it will grow fast, so keep checking for what's new!





Starting a blog and a shop has been hard, but well worth it! I decided to let you in on a secret deal (shhh!) 5% off $15 or more! just use this coupon code at checkout: CUTIECREATIONS
Act fast, this deal expires on April 2nd!




I love to create everything I can think up, I am constantly thinking of new things to make, create and do. I wanted to share my creations with the world, let them share the joy of keeping them, so I decided to start Fanciful Cuties on Etsy. I went through a long list of names, things I could make, and how I would make them. I pondered over these for a long (I mean LONG) time. I didn't have a clue where to sell the things I made, on Etsy, at a farmer's market, or maybe at local fairs. But in the end, I chose Etsy. You can now buy the ever-growing list of handmade Cuties I sell right on Etsy





Everything we make at Fanciful Cuties is handmade personally me (Emma). We make sure that our products are top quality, and will last for a lifetime. Our products are inspired by nature and beauty. We do our best to mimic the seemingly random patterns of nature, and merge them with everyday life, to create whimsical trinkets to brighten your day. We hope to inspire you to live a joyful life, through enjoying the little things and moments in life.

Washi Tape Glitter Feathers

  Hi! So, as you may have guessed, the theme for this month is... confetti and glitter! I love those two, they can make anything 10 times happier! Today we are going to make the cutest Glitter Feathers ever! It is so simple, you can make them in about 1 minute! And best of all, just as the name implies, it has glitter on it! I chose to put my glitter right down the center, but you could cover the whole feather in it! Lets get going!




Materials:

  • Washi Tape
  • Glue
  • Glitter
  • Scissors
  • Toothpicks

What To Do:

1.Place tape on either side of the toothpick. Smooth.


2. Round the top edges of the Washi Tape. Cut slants on the bottom edges. 
3.  Cut notches following the slant all the way up the tape. Repeat on other side.


4. Put glue in a line down the middle, then, put glitter over top. Let dry.

And that's it! I told you it was easy! Hope you had as much fun as I did in making these! And as always...

Keep creating!

Confetti Candle Holder



 Hello! I can't wait to make this one with you! It's super cute and customizable too! I stumbled on this Confetti Candle Holder on Pintrest (best site ever!) when looking for something to do. Guess I found it! You can make this any size you want, but I chose to make it small, like a candle holder.


Materials

  • Glue (I used Mod Podge)
  • Confetti or Glitter
  • Balloons
  • Candle (optional)

Supplies

  • Paint or Foam Brush
  • Bowl (to hold confetti)

























  1. Use the paintbrush to cover the top of the balloon with     glue, slightly bigger then what you want the size you       want your bowl/candle holder to be.
  2. Dip the balloon into the the confetti. Make sure the           entire glued portion of the balloon is covered. Let dry,     then repeat 3-5 times (depending on how thick you         want the bowl/candle holder)
  3. Coat the balloon glue and let dry.
  4. Pop the balloon and let the bowl/candle holder dry.




And there you have it! Your very own Confetti Candle holder, now just show it off and make more!

Keep crafting!
