Hello Crafty people ^-^

What a nice way to start the year 2017! For my first blog I decided to share this project from Danielle Thompson for Mollie Makes Magazine Issue #59! 

Aren't these gorgeous?! Enjoy ...

I'm so excited to share this project that I was commissioned by Mollie Makes Magazine to create earlier this year! Get the full step-by-step tutorial now in issue #59 on news stands in the UK. It will be out soon after elsewhere in Europe, and it should make it's way over the pond to the States in a month or so.I was asked to create a holiday centerpiece tutorial that included festive trees of some sort. I was excited about this challenge! I knew I wanted to do a different take on the typical centerpiece and trees, so I thought outside the box, and this is what I came up with. I'm always so inspired by the bright colors, kitschy faces and imagery, and geometric shapes in craft books that came out in the 60s! Looking through those books is my greatest guilty pleasure. They are total eye candy.

It was so much fun to be in charge of not only creating this project from scratch (it was so much fun to get crafty and hand-make something - it had been a while!), put together the step-by-step tutorial, but I also had free reign over the styling and photography. I LOVE doing product photography and styling.

This issue has SO many cute holiday projects in it. Yes, the holidays are just around the corner. Can you believe it? So many gifts ideas in this issue. You can find Mollie Makes at Barnes & Noble and your local craft stores when it hits the US.

You can find this project and more in Danielle Thompson blog here:
