Pink Satin Ruffle Tree

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New & improved!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was teaching a class on my student Bailey suggested that I
put bling on the tree.
What a great idea!
It is so cute and just what it needed!
Thanks Bailey!!

These cute little "blings" are stickers.
You just peel and stick!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am gearing up for Christmas and wanted a unique Christmas



tree in my studio.




I had this Styrofoam cone in my craft supplies and some pink satin ruffle




that I bought for something else and never used.




I just used small straight pins to attach the ruffle to the styrofoam.



Pin the ruffle as you wrap it around the styrofoam.



Keep wrapping it around the cone



until you get to the top.









Take the ruffle and fold under the raw edge








and then pin some more to really secure it.
I used alot of pins to make sure it wouldn't come undone.








I added some pink feather boa to the top to hide the pins.









Super cute and easy!!





Now I am ready for Christmas.



(I wish it was that easy!!)

Re-purpose Sweater Wrap

I to a sweater that I have had for years and cut off the bottom just under the armpits. Serge the raw edge. Fold & pin. Turn under the serged side and sew along to finish off the bottom edge. I gathered down one side using a gathering stitch from the top to the bottom. Sew it with a regular 2.5 stitch to secure it. I took about a yard of black satin ribbon and gathered down one side. Then wrapped it around into the shape of a flower. Sewed through the center to secure it. Then added some left-over sweater piece for the center of the flower. And finished it off with some beads. I can't wait to wear it with the new black dress I just bought!
