Don’t stop.
Don’t stop ’til you get enough. -MJ
Apparently, I haven’t had enough yet. :)
Whilst cleaning out the cabinets to prepare our house to show, I found 7 little cupcake liners in pretty pastel hues. For a moment I thought about tossing them in the trash, then a thought occurred to me. Why not refashion them?
So here’s what I did:
Step One: Fold liners.
Step Two: String ‘em, space ‘em out, knot ‘em, and fluff ‘em.
Step Three: Hang garland.
The garland is so lightweight that you can tape it up with Scotch tape wherever you please. Perfect in a little girl’s room or as a last-minute party decoration. And with the multitude of cupcake papers available, you’re sure to find some that fit your style and color scheme. I used a thin cotton crochet thread and a large needle to string mine. :)

And here’s a quick idea from my archives. In 2008, I refashioned an Easter dress for Emily.
By removing the overwhelming ruffled collar, the rest of the ruffles seemed kinda great. I added some yellow bias tape along the neckline and then some crocheted flowers off to the side. You could add yo-yos, strips of *tiny* ruffles, fabric flowers, embroidery, or a little applique.
Happy Good Friday, everyone! :)
Here at Thimbly Things (or Kristena’s House), it’s been a quietly productive week.
We did run out of coffee, which caused a stir.
To make up for my quietude:
That’s my son, making us all laugh for no less than an hour this morning.
