tiny happy

Here are two things I had a nice time making lately.

+ + + + Pressed flower gift tags. These were a mash-up of this project, and wanting to find a way to use up scraps of plastic covering the kids used on their school books. I pressed some more flowers (this took 2-3 weeks) and lightly glued them to brown card before covering with the clear seal. And tied through some rainbow thread, for attaching to presents, because who doesn't like rainbow thread? I'm really pleased with these little cards, and intend to use them on every present I wrap from now on. And etsy shop orders, etc.

+ + + + This is a tiny taco, made from felt, that holds my headphones so they don't get all tangled up in my bag. I found the tutorial here (it's from Frankie magazine) and every morning on my way to work I smile when I pull it out of my bag. In fact I love it so much that i've also made felt headphone holders for everyone in the family, to request: a purple monster (Keira), a folded newspaper (Tom) and a chocolate biscuit (Arlo). Though none of them are as good as my felt taco.
