<br />
<i>How to make the Cuties Tassel Swags: </i><br />
Print and cut out each character tag in three inch circles (to make a swag of 4 characters, you will need 12 circles). A swag of 4 parts will be about 6 feet long, and will have 5 straws (if you put one at the top). Make sure to cut the string longer than 6 feet for hanging.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcFqT8mx4kaQAX0okKjtzjwftFrgOru7SAYqexpVg8oz5jOROUcRqz35bYrayhHXFf8If9KOiAkiAAPT9JUfsO6GKYLIrSu6W2HV5ELK8BlKv8rL3vMqjcYbYEiMcabRc-wlk0KAjPeIo/s1600/LC+Animal+GarlandParts2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcFqT8mx4kaQAX0okKjtzjwftFrgOru7SAYqexpVg8oz5jOROUcRqz35bYrayhHXFf8If9KOiAkiAAPT9JUfsO6GKYLIrSu6W2HV5ELK8BlKv8rL3vMqjcYbYEiMcabRc-wlk0KAjPeIo/s320/LC+Animal+GarlandParts2.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
Using gluestick, glue each of three tags together, so that one is glued to <i>less than half</i> of another vertically, but glued also to a third tag until the set is glued into an inverted triangle, so that all three parts are glued to one another.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjysdrPNYiETAJBWM3clVhMMpOouX2LaSNfp3v3FeLODsk8oJiPYk_pWrC4qBXuaKhPlV7zicl5q-PLz-fKFzdkBCK_UCVBoqNp6HAc6YhxOPFe5RvEXCAi3VtnymfULntlTr8Z9FKTFFw/s1600/LC+TasselPartsA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjysdrPNYiETAJBWM3clVhMMpOouX2LaSNfp3v3FeLODsk8oJiPYk_pWrC4qBXuaKhPlV7zicl5q-PLz-fKFzdkBCK_UCVBoqNp6HAc6YhxOPFe5RvEXCAi3VtnymfULntlTr8Z9FKTFFw/s320/LC+TasselPartsA.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
Note—see photo above—do not glue the circles completely to the centers so that a wide straw can run through the center of each inverted triangle. Also, before glueing, make sure that the circles are lined up vertically straight to one another so that they will hang straight.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiddZlgMPJFU11xy0AL4oRlUwN_54KIPwFmY8mat16XdhkvHclhdPikaoliMadellwjaim3stwTcQswKFJh-QggwoXKIg9_SCsBseRWwhaOCpNXq08pk9woszwYy74j1p_keBX_l70qBUE/s1600/LC+TasselPartsC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiddZlgMPJFU11xy0AL4oRlUwN_54KIPwFmY8mat16XdhkvHclhdPikaoliMadellwjaim3stwTcQswKFJh-QggwoXKIg9_SCsBseRWwhaOCpNXq08pk9woszwYy74j1p_keBX_l70qBUE/s320/LC+TasselPartsC.jpg" width="251" /></a><br />
<br />
Next, make tassels from tissue paper (see photo above). Take one sheet of tissue that is 20 x 30, fold in half to be 15 x 20, then continue folding in half at 7.5 x 20 and then 3.75 x 20. Fold the length of tissue in half to make a band 3.75 x 10 and cut into two piece at that fold. Now with two 3.75 x 10 pieces, slit the all-folded side of both so that you have many pieces stacked together. Keep all in one stack and hold tightly in place while cutting through all in .25 inch slices to fringe the tassels up to one inch from the top. You will have many sheets of fringe. Then roll one or two fringed tissue pieces around a wide straw, 1.5 to 2 inches from its top and tape to secure. See photo below.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb3X2ujJjQyOL3uoNoCl_9uD2gYZqsxlhOUGcc4TSlv7UqNznRdXiuyHKsuDkMZZ1A2yYxx91MR6DFYD1A8YUBlbJkGS75MMaWrLRLzoh47Oj6hqcUnhcBzN1XwPRjZAImgjFb8s_Lf6k/s1600/LC+TasselPartsB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb3X2ujJjQyOL3uoNoCl_9uD2gYZqsxlhOUGcc4TSlv7UqNznRdXiuyHKsuDkMZZ1A2yYxx91MR6DFYD1A8YUBlbJkGS75MMaWrLRLzoh47Oj6hqcUnhcBzN1XwPRjZAImgjFb8s_Lf6k/s320/LC+TasselPartsB.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once you have all of your tassels made and taped to the straws, take one inverted triangle of Little Cuties and slide it down just over the tassel where it is taped. Then use double sticky tape to adhere the triangle to the straw (taping gently inside the triangle to the straw). Do this on all tasseled straws until you have all of the straws decorated with tassel and circular art.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now it is time to string the pieces together. Cut your string or twin to at least an 8 or 9 foot strands. Thread the string down each straw, one to the next to make a garland, or swag of tasseled Cuties. You can adjust each piece to get it positioned just right. I chose to not tape the pieces together at this point, as the string will hold them together, and allow them to flow gently in the breeze.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finish off each swag with one remaining tassel inserted and taped to the end of the last straw (see photo below). Make sure to knot off the string and tape or glue to the last tassel, so that they will all hold together and not slip loose.</div>

The art I used to make the t-shirt transfers is from the Little Cuties characters, both animals and garden themes, as well as the Little Cuties <i><b><a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/graphics/graphic-sets/little-cuties-animal-tags-gs-p13591c4c9%20&AID=42257" target="_blank">animal tags</a></b></i> and <b><i><a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/graphics/graphic-sets/little-cuties-garden-tags-gs-p13578c4c9&AID=42257" target="_blank">garden tags</a></i></b> with messages (see frog onesie below)<span style="text-align: center;">. </span><br />

I chose to use basic white onesies and did not prewash them, but you can, and might prefer to. I recommend Avery Iron-on-fabric transfers. Trim the transfer quite close to the art after printing it backwards, or reversed, or flipped (they all mean the same thing). Make sure to iron the onesie to be wrinkle free, then let the fabric cool completely before ironing on the transfer (with the paper backing facing you when ironing). Follow the directions closely for the type of t-shirt transfer and fabric you are using.<br />

For the peach onesie I cut out each piece separately and held them down together, while ironing over all three pieces. Be very careful and methodical when doing this, so as not to lift any pieces while pressing. Let the transfer material cool completely before removing back, and once you do, you will have a darling onesie made to order.<br />
<br />

<br />
Be careful NOT to iron over any transfers after you have peeled the backing off. Your onesie won’t like it, your iron won’t like it, and I am sure your own little cutie won’t be happy with it either. Let’s just say . . . tears will be shed.<br />

This is a great idea as gifts for that new parent looking to dress the baby in cute clothing that none of the other babies will be wearing. Also, you can pick a fave veggie, fruit, animal, or bug to make the gift even more personal.</div>

When you have a little cutie it only makes sense to make your practical baby basics be just about as cute as your little ones are.<br />

They were designed to help teach little ones how to identify animals, fruits and vegetables. They also encourage children to imagine what it might be like to be a sweet pea or a colorful parrot.<br />

These cards were designed with another purpose in mind as well, to help children recognize emotions. Expressions and emotions range in all of us and the Little Cuties provide a full array. From a crying crocodile to a silly peach. From a shy carrot to a scary (or maybe even angry) bear. Even a surprised frog or gleeful blueberry will give your little ones reason to relate to these feelings as they see them in the faces of each Little Cutie.</div>

And the garden collection also has a sweet set of seed packets.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer have finally met their match. In this boyhood story of imagination and adventure Clyde and Kenny are the mid-century version of these adventurous boys, and I do know, as Clyde is my dad, and Kenny was my cousin.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am so proud to announce the arrival of <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Boy-Shady-Grove-Road-Childhood/dp/0692488065/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1441035122&sr=8-1&keywords=clyde+mcculley&pebp=1441035124542&perid=01WTR4M09G8G46FECRHD" target="_blank">The Boy on Shady Grove Road</a></i> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">a new book my dad, Clyde McCulley, has written about his childhood in the 1940s and 50s. It is filled with heartfelt and humorous stories of his “short on cash” upbringing that was never short on love. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I knew many of these stories growing up, and even experienced the joy and simplicity of that little house on Shady Grove where he grew up, and many of the stories take place. It is only now that I can have the memories kept forever in this delightful, and sometimes tearful recollection of a childhood only a poor boy in the South could know . . . a rich life of wonder, joy and love!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Even though I was able to have these stories told first-hand growing up, I have now been able to read and already reread his book, <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Boy-Shady-Grove-Road-Childhood/dp/0692488065/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1441035122&sr=8-1&keywords=clyde+mcculley&pebp=1441035124542&perid=01WTR4M09G8G46FECRHD" target="_blank">The Boy on Shady Grove Road</a></i>. I promise if you read this book, whether somewhat seasoned, like Dad, a mid-century born girl like myself, or a young one like Dad’s grandkids, you will all find joy in a simpler life, an appreciation for the life you’ve been given, and a way of learning about history that text books don’t give. And if you do <b><i>not</i></b> learn any of this, you’d best reread the book. :) </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The book is now available on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Boy-Shady-Grove-Road-Childhood/dp/0692488065/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1441035122&sr=8-1&keywords=clyde+mcculley&pebp=1441035124542&perid=01WTR4M09G8G46FECRHD" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, and the e-book will be coming soon. I really do suggest you take a little time out from your busy schedule and take a quick look at a slow-paced life on Shady Grove Road. It will be worth a few minutes of your life, I promise.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thank you Dad, for sharing your life with us, to help each of us appreciate what we have and what we are capable of having and doing in this one life we are given. Many congratulations and much love!</span></div>

It’s Valentine’s Day and there are few things sweeter to give than candy. I love candy! It’s the very first word I learned to spell. C-A-N-D-Y! Needless to say, it had to be the theme for my valentine design this year.</div>

When you gather with family and friends this thanksgiving season, no doubt you will know each of their names. The question is, will your guests know their place? </div>

Make seasonal name cards for each guest’s place setting so they not only know who they belong to, but where they belong. This can be easily done with the <i><a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">Wee Gather Together Leaf Labels</a></i> graphic set on <i><a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">Lettering Delights</a></i>. Simply print out the labels, (I used sticky-back label stock), use your best penmanship, attach each to a colored card stock folded in a tent stand, and put each person’s card at the table.</div>

If you want to add a bit of faux nature to the great indoors, add a few autumn leaves, seeds, and pods to each place setting. Also, give each guest their own thanksgiving message on a handcrafted trivet. The files can be found here: <i><a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">Wee Gather Together Trivets</a></i>. They will thank you, and be thankful for you.</div>

If you liked it, then you should have put a ring on it. Well, that’s what I did for this tiniest of decor for the harvest season. I have a candle stick with six cups that hold thin, tapered candles. While it is a pretty candle stick, it needed something to make it really something. I created just the thing to give it that grand appeal. I put some rings on it.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
These petite rings are made from the <i><a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">Wee Gather Together Leaf Rings</a></i> cut it set on <i><a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">Lettering Delights</a></i>. Each tiny ring of leaves (the green base) is about 1 to 1 1/4 inches across. Each tiny flower is about 1/2 inch across. You will need seven tiny flowers per base if you choose this flower pattern, but there are many leaf options to choose as well. You can see other craft ideas in my posts with the leaf rings.</div>
<br />
<br />

<br />
I used text weight papers from Paper Source and each ring and flower cut out smoothly. Once I had six rings and seven flowers per ring I started putting them together. I carefully pinched the petals of the tiny flowers toward their centers to cup them. I then put dabs of white glue in the centers of each leaf section on the ring and attached the flowers. It was sweet and simple and that is it!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZD81535o6sfGiM9CWe4dnzE2kKVkhhXQBb-3In7QNCri8gk8tF_FCPAJAwmqHqlvtxSne9SnhrjKNNlTj1h6JzFtAc9ACVhveo70KwHU7_KmbImN5lKpv8hxQ1dpqne6m1Ytx47OtfUs/s1600/WGT+Candle+Garland+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZD81535o6sfGiM9CWe4dnzE2kKVkhhXQBb-3In7QNCri8gk8tF_FCPAJAwmqHqlvtxSne9SnhrjKNNlTj1h6JzFtAc9ACVhveo70KwHU7_KmbImN5lKpv8hxQ1dpqne6m1Ytx47OtfUs/s320/WGT+Candle+Garland+3.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
To make the larger ring of flowers in the center of the candle holder, I cut out a circle of gray card stock to make the center base for the ring to sit on. I then repeated the same task as above, but this time I also made the tiny flowers for the center, then three additional sets of flowers in larger sizes (about 1 1/2 inch across) in paper colors: curry, tangerine and papaya. The green leaf base is in the moss color. I curled the tangerine and papaya flowers upward and the curry slightly downward. I then attached each flower to the base with tiny brads through the holes in the centers of all four flowers and leaf base. These would also make wonderful lily pad flower decor for a summer season.<br />
<br />
To see the project of the ring of flowers around the letters (in the photo above) please see the previous post. Also, imagine the larger ring of flowers encompassing a pillar candle for even more grand appeal. Bigger isn’t always better, but it might be easier to work with. :)<br />

To make the garland ring of “Give Thanks” which surrounds the candle holder (in the photo at top), I used the thinner flower ring shape. I cut seven flowers from papaya colored paper, per ring, as well as the ring itself in chartreuse, and tiny centers from white paper (you could hole punch those). I simply curled the petals up for the flower’s center and glued each to the ring base in position. I also curled the green petals upward as well. Once I had each ring of flowers made I cut out the letters from the <i><a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">Wee Gather Together Alphabet</a> </i>cut it files to read: give thanks. I made the base in dark brown and the top stencil circled letter in tan. Each of the rings and stencil circle letters is about three inches across. See the photo above.</div>

To make the “HARVEST” vertical hanging garland I did the same task as above, but cut out two addition leaves per spot to make a full wreath of leaves. The oak leaf ring has nine leaves within the ring, so I added two additional leaves in the same size of yellow (curry) and red (papaya) to place between each orange (tangerine) oak leaf—on the ring. See the photo below to see the steps. I did curl each leaf inward with a bamboo skewer.</div>

If you would like this look, you can achieve it with fewer leaves cut out and still have a lovely wreath garland look. The photo below shows the rings with only the original orange ring (R) and letter, additional red leaves (A), or with all three colors, adding yellow leaves (H).</div>

If you want to have beautiful autumn leaves last all season, get the leaf collection on <a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">LD</a> and save them like you would the leaves in nature. This is a simple craft that can be used in many projects over the harvest season. To do so you will need, the files to make these creations from the <i><a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">Wee Gather Together Leaves</a></i> cut it set and the <i><a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">Wee Gather Together Sayings</a></i> on LD.</div>

To make the autumn leaves, I chose papers from Paper Source in text weight. After I cut out various leaf sizes and shapes, I bent and curled them into shapes to resemble actual leaves. I then sprits sprayed them with a few spray paint colors for added texture and let dry.</div>

I got a grapevine wreath and laid out the colored leaves, then tucked in a few pods and seeds from the <i><a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">Wee Gather Together Seed and Pods</a> </i>collection. </div>

The autumn leaves can decorate a wreath, but they are also festive and fitting to hang in garland strands both inside and outside of the home, school, or workplace.<br />

One of my all time favorite nature nuggets growing up was the dried lotus seed pod. It seemed to be everywhere in the 1970s bringing nature into every home in America long enough to collect a lot of dust in those little holes. I loved the seeds rattling around in the pod and would try to take them out to no avail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, since I could <i>not</i> get those seeds out I decided to create my own paper lotus pods without seeds, so there will be no seed removal frustration to tend with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also loved star anise seed pods, and could in fact remove those seeds. However, my favorite part about star anise was the shape and the smell. In paper crafting I am able to recreate the look of star anise, but the smell will have to be left to the viewer’s imagination.</div>

To make the lotus pod you will first need to cut out the top and base of the pod pieces. The top has many holes, the base looks like an 8-petalled, round flower. Use text weight paper (I use Paper Source text weight) to get a nice bend to the paper without tearing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once the pieces are cut out, take the 8-petal flower shape and attach each petal to the one next to it, overlapping slightly at the ends (about .125 inch) using tacky or white glue and mini clothes pins to hold and dry until you complete the base. You should end up with a cup or cone shaped piece. See the “how to” chart above. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After the base is completely dry, gently crease each petal end to form a flattened tip of each petal all the way around the base. This will be small, but enough of a flat surface to then glue the top of the lotus pod (the circle with the holes in it) to its base. I suggest laying the top on the table surface, gluing around the edge of that piece, then placing the cone shape, as if it’s a mound, onto the other piece and securing with mini pins all the way around the pod until it is dry (see photo above). Finish off with a piece of florist wire or a painted bamboo skewer, and add leaves on the stem if you like.</div>

I chose to spray paint the lotus pods once complete in a sprits fashion to give extra color and texture to the pod pieces. This can be done before or after the pod is assembled, but it is probably best done after. </div>

To make the star anise you will first need to have lentils or some other small seed-like pieces for the seeds of the star anise. You will need eight lentils per star anise. I chose to gloss the lentils with clear nail polish to make the seeds glisten, as the seeds actually do in real star anise. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">

Cut out the flower shaped piece (shown below) in a paper weight that is not too thick (again, I like to use Paper Source or equivalent text weight). Next, crease each petal combo, first where they meet, then crease where they are adjacent to the next, going around the circle. See the “how to” chart below for steps.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once the shape has been creased everywhere, you can begin to form the flower (star) shape. You will make eight petal pieces by dabbing a bit of glue on the tips and clothes pinning them together until dry. When all eight petals are dry, push the star shape inward toward the center, then glue and pin the center area, holding until dry and star shape is complete. This will take a little effort and quite some time to dry. (see photo above) If you have trouble with this step, you can use the small piece that was cut out of the center of the flower shape (hopefully not thrown away) and use it, gluing it under the center of the star, holding it together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since you have only glued the tips together on each petal, you will be able to form the petals into canoe shapes which will then hold a lentil (seed) in each petal. Dab glue in each crevasse and add a lentil, sitting vertically in the space. If you would like to add color and texture to the star anise, you can spray paint it when complete (as I have) but make sure you spray paint <i>before</i> you add the lentils.</div>

Use these lovely accent pieces for autumn wreath and swag garland, or for table decor during your holiday season. Maybe even decorate a table where you will be serving mulling spiced cider and hot drinks. <i>Then</i> you will have that wonderful smell that accompanies your beautifully made star anise. Enjoy!</div>

Growing up, I loved the bits of nature that I could collect, or at least enjoy experimenting on in their natural habitat. I always loved seeing the soft, white fluffs floating into the sky from a milkweed pod when I would gently pull the woody shell apart. It was a bit like blowing dandelion fluffs into the air, but somehow more rewarding and enjoyable. I think because the seeded fluffs were so perfectly encased in the pod, so silky and fun to play with, that milkweed pods were this fluffer-nutter’s joy of nature. Real nature, that is, the kind you really can’t fool.</div>

I guess my love for nature nuggets combined with the challenge of trompe l’oeil, in paper crafting, has brought me to the joy of seed and pod re-creation. I thought it would be fun to share it with you as we try to create a little art to fool mother nature and last even longer. </div>

In this post I’m going to show you how to make the milkweed, chinese, and flaming lantern pods. The file you will need to make these creations is the <i><a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">Wee Gather Together Seeds and Pods</a></i> cut it set on <a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">LD</a>. The chart above shows the items (cut it files) that are in the set. The photos below show charts of those pieces turned into three dimensional art.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To make the milkweed pod you will need the tri-petal piece and the seeds shown above. Cut them out, choosing gray paper for the pod shell and seeds. I used a gray paper from Paper Source, in a text weight, for this pod.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After the pieces are cut out, take the tri-petal piece, fold each inward to the center to crease each, then curl and bend the three petal pieces. I curled two inward and one into an ‘S’ curve for the open piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, using tacky or white glue, attach the two curled-in petals together to create a cocoon shape and hold in place with a mini clothes pin until dry. See photo “how to” sample above.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Use an 8-10 inch piece of florist wire for the stem, and at one end, glue the seed pieces (that you will fold in half) to the wire with a small downy feather, or bit of fluff, also glued between the seed parts to the wire. Do this with at least 5-7 seeds (though there are many), altering the angle back and forth on the wire within a two inch space, ending with a seed and feather at the end of the wire. Now, thread the wire down into the pod shell so that it incases the seeds/fluffs. Finish off the milkweed pod with a couple of green leaves along the stem.</div>

To make the chinese lantern pods first cut out the 5-petal star shaped piece, as shown in the image below. I used a paper from French Paper Company that I have had for years, but I recommend any colors you like from Paper Source, in a text weight, for this pod.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After the star shaped piece is cut out, take the petal pieces, fold each inward to the center to crease each, then curl and bend the five petal pieces. I curled first outward, then at the tips inward to create a teardrop shape when complete. Next, using tacky or white glue, attach the curled-in petals together to form the teardrop shape and hold in place with mini clothes pin until dry. I glued only the pieces together closer to the tips, but not completely to the ends. I also did not glue the petals together where they meet at the center so as to have more play and bend in the paper petals parts. If you do this you will have slit openings where each petal meets to for the teardrop shape. See the photo “how to” samples above and below. The photo above shows the beginning steps and the photo below shows the ending steps.</div>

After I had the teardrop shaped lantern pod completed, I chose to sprits spray paint the pod to add visual texture. Once dry, I slid the pod up a piece of florist wire (with the end of the wire curled, as shown in the photo), then bent the wire into a rod or cane shape allowing the lantern to dangle down over the wire. See the photo above to help explain this process. Finish off the chinese lantern pod with a couple of green leaves along the stem if you like.</div>

To make the flaming lantern pod, you will need the tri-petal piece and the seeds shown below. Cut them out, choosing tan or a warm color of paper for the pod shell and brown for the seeds. I used the tan paper for all, then colored the seeds with a brown marker.</div>

After the pieces are cut out, take the tri-petal piece, fold each inward to the center to crease each as well as crease each petal down its middle and squeeze together, as shown in the photo below. I chose to sprits the piece at that time with spray paint to give added visual color and texture.</div>

Next, using tacky or white glue, attach the petals together only near the tops and hold in place with mini clothes pins to dry. Once the pod has taken shape, curl the ends of each petal outward a bit.</div>

To complete the flaming lantern pod, use a piece of florist wire, thread down through the lantern and glue one of the seeds onto the end of the wire with the wire being sandwiched between the folded seed piece. Next, glue a seed about .75 to one inch up the wire (sandwiching the wire) to have a place for the lantern to dangle without falling to the end of the wire. Now, bend the remaining wire into a rod or cane shape, and add a few leaves onto the stem. See the photo “how to” above.</div>

I love nature nuggets and collect them throughout the year. I also love to create art with paper and have designed a variety of nature nuggets of my own for this fall season. If you would like to create some of your own join me on my blog as I will be sharing how to tips for the next few weeks for each of the seeds and pods I have created on <a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">Lettering Delights</a>.</div>

To make the walnut halves you will need the three pieces shown below. Cut them out, choosing darker brown paper for the shell parts and tan for the nut. I did not have a brown color of paper in the weight I like to work in, so I used a tan paper from Paper Source, in a text weight, and then darkened it with a brown marker before assembling the pieces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Make the shell by curling the piece into a bowl shape, then fold the parts where they meet in the center area to pull the edges inward. Next, use a bit of glue (I use tacky glue) for each end, overlapping the outsides to the center part slightly, and secure with a small clothes pin until dry. Do this on both ends to form the shell (it will look like a bowl). You may need to trim a bit of the tips that are slightly higher on the ends where the pieces are glued together to have a flat edge on top of the bowl shaped piece before you glue it to the nut piece. The more level the edge of the shell (bowl shape) is, the better it will stick when gluing to the other piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the nut part, simply glue the nut over the scalloped shell piece, using just a bit of glue around the edge of the nut shape. Once it is dry you can glue the top and bottom pieces together. First, turn the nut/scalloped combo piece over on your work surface so that the back is facing you. Now, spread glue along the top of the shell (bowl shaped piece) and position it carefully over the nut to center it. Press gently but firmly until the pieces hold together. In the photo below you can see the steps and the completed walnut from the top and bottom sides of the nut. Refer to the “how to” chart below for helpful tips. </div>

To make the cinnamon sticks, which are very easy, you will need the file of the cinnamon stick paper. Simply cut out the paper in a color you like for cinnamon. After I cut the paper out in a reddish brown text weight paper, I spritzed it a bit with brown spray paint to add a little texture and darken the color. You can roll the paper up in a traditional roll, or roll from each end into a scroll. Since cinnamon sticks come both ways, try each. First curl the paper, then use a bamboo skewer or pencil to roll the paper as tightly as you can. If you roll it into a scroll you may want to glue the two ends together and secure with small clothes pins until dry. Refer to the “how to” chart below for helpful tips. </div>

I decided that creating an acorn out of paper will have to be left to the professional paper crafters, as I could not achieve that feat. However, I do have a few ideas for hand crafted acorns that you might like to try. First you will need to collect acorn caps from oak trees. Then you can make the nuts by felting balls from wool. I made mine the dry method way, but you can also use the wet felting method. I think you might even be able to buy wool balls at craft stores. Once you have the wool ball, simply glue it to the acorn cap.</div>

I also have some crocheted balls that were from a neckless I had picked up for crafting. I simply used one of those for the nut of the acorn and glued it to the acorn cap. You can see both acorn options below.</div>

You can have a festive autumn swag of lanterns lighting the path for your guests this fall season with a little bit of work and a lot of fun.<br />
<br />
I made these lanterns with flowers a few years ago and thought they were so lovely outside during springtime that it seemed even more fitting to have them decorate the deck for the autumn season.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-TJYieXnP5lWoMhoBEcL89keKa7MhiV91RXEfOdR4Y2b-d1w13Bjg9NZ06cITgI0gEBode15X5pkTpMt79iT0_S9CKDuN5CR67kWZyvzaKntEkVFebi94iCANs4BHw66vjXaxmWAEBj0/s1600/WGT+Evening+Lanterns5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-TJYieXnP5lWoMhoBEcL89keKa7MhiV91RXEfOdR4Y2b-d1w13Bjg9NZ06cITgI0gEBode15X5pkTpMt79iT0_S9CKDuN5CR67kWZyvzaKntEkVFebi94iCANs4BHw66vjXaxmWAEBj0/s1600/WGT+Evening+Lanterns5.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a><br />
<br />
Here is how I made them:<br />
<br />
I used the leaf shapes from my <a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">Wee Gather Together Leaves</a> cut-it set on <a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">Lettering Delights</a>. I first cut out many colors of leaves about one to two and a half inches in size, using <i>Paper Source</i> text weight papers (colors: moss, chartreuse, curry, poppy, papaya, persimmon). Once cut, the leaves were thin enough to curl into nice bends and shapes. I use a bamboo skewer for curling.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTQXUR719Hv-yc5wgyt45v2kBGLvsIJkiSe7jBU3n02enYTAN4-On7_h9d4Bl0RqZzRNkFoS8DQN4GF2gWUQLTMGm7vtZzKnqn9KG03CdTHeK21KxUwowlHIuzBu8HuROnwJjYde46F6Y/s1600/WGT+Lantern+Single1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTQXUR719Hv-yc5wgyt45v2kBGLvsIJkiSe7jBU3n02enYTAN4-On7_h9d4Bl0RqZzRNkFoS8DQN4GF2gWUQLTMGm7vtZzKnqn9KG03CdTHeK21KxUwowlHIuzBu8HuROnwJjYde46F6Y/s1600/WGT+Lantern+Single1.jpg" height="320" width="200" /></a><br />
<br />
I then laid them out and spritzed them with quick, uneven bursts of spray paint. I used a few spray paint colors to make the leaves appear more blended, like real autumn leaves. When spraying I recommend that you not spray close to the leaves, rather lift the can about one to two feet above the leaves to get a dusting of paint, then repeat with another color. You can see this in the photo above and below.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioDthRhpuh4oO0JMim2vKbQcrPh-D36F1ABleoD4ffLkaOy-TWEL7wqvKOK76_bLr1bOJo_KRfQsHselZQm0a0cYLRvejiXxxg4VRT_U5rYcGXdGpzrJTO1fy_O4kAp1Pri_2TTb59cjQ/s1600/WGT+Lantern+Single2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioDthRhpuh4oO0JMim2vKbQcrPh-D36F1ABleoD4ffLkaOy-TWEL7wqvKOK76_bLr1bOJo_KRfQsHselZQm0a0cYLRvejiXxxg4VRT_U5rYcGXdGpzrJTO1fy_O4kAp1Pri_2TTb59cjQ/s1600/WGT+Lantern+Single2.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once I had about three or four leaves prepared per lantern, I cut out the lanterns in two colors of paper. <i>Paper Source</i> cover or text weight paper works for the lanterns. For the spring lanterns I used text weight, but for these autumn lanterns I used cover weight. The paper colors I chose were gravel and curry. I used the <a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">Cut Flower Accessories</a> cut-it project from Lettering Delights (it is in my Cut Flower collection on LD). It is a pattern that can be used for pedestals, but it works great for lanterns too. There are four pedestal designs in the set, I used the green one for these lanterns.</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Each lantern is about four inched high. I taped each lantern after connecting it, then glued the leaf sets to each on the opposite side of the connection.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZaZklI3J6RTcDCFA-icntkTmuSqGciYKT5ZWadCg-WNin4-5yrNvH6WGIaYnxOehxQhZStRyUJ-NQTDEsRAQ52_8Fp4dhBvepQnBI9Q8JL4iNSjEKJMc88jEKfS2qX_H-QWpshP4VKB8/s1600/WGT+Lanterns+Group4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZaZklI3J6RTcDCFA-icntkTmuSqGciYKT5ZWadCg-WNin4-5yrNvH6WGIaYnxOehxQhZStRyUJ-NQTDEsRAQ52_8Fp4dhBvepQnBI9Q8JL4iNSjEKJMc88jEKfS2qX_H-QWpshP4VKB8/s1600/WGT+Lanterns+Group4.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The lanterns have a tabbed edge at the top (about 1/2 inch tall) that must be folded inward to hold the paper lantern over the lightbulb that it is covering. My lights are the circular, clear bulbs (approximately 1.5 inch diameter) in a string of 20 or so lights. The lanterns slip up and over the bulb and hang with the tabs holding them on.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thinner paper will allow more light to shine through the paper lantern, if you would like that. The thicker paper will make the lanterns more durable, but will not allow for as much light to shine through. Keep that in mind when making your choice of lantern paper.</div>

Autumn is the season that I love the most. It’s beautiful, the weather is lovely, and it has Thanksgiving, a holiday that is a reminder to be grateful for everything and everyone in our lives. I have created a collection that is now on <a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">Lettering Delights</a> and it is called <i><a href="http://interneka.com/affiliate/AIDLink.php?link=http://www.letteringdelights.com/searchprod.php?designer=Sheri%20McCulley&AID=42257" target="_blank">We Gather Together</a></i>. It was developed to help create lovely and fun pieces for this harvest season.<br />
<br />
Here are a few sneak peeks of what I’ve been harvesting for this giving season.<br />
<br />
You will find something for the kids.<br />

Well, I knew what to do anyway. I have been working on opening my shop on Spoonflower (an online textile, wall covering, gift wrap company). You can click on the link to my shop at the top, right. For those who don’t know Spoonflower, they have a weekly contest with a design theme and I have entered a few times. I’ve made it into third and second place, but this time I am hoping to win that sweet spot and turn these lemons into lemonade.</div>
<br />
The contest this week if for a tea towel design that has “recipes” as the theme, for Mother’s Day. I decided to make my theme a “Mom’s Kitchen Sink Advice” tea towel with a recipe, kitchen cleaning tip, and bit of advice that any mom, or the rest of us would give or get with a sweet smile. :)<br />
<br />
I am planning to create a set of tea towels with the “Mom’s kitchen sink advice” theme in the future that I will have in my Spoonflower shop along with this one. However, first things first.<br />
<br />
If any of you would like to vote for my design, I would love that, but no pressure. I won’t be sour if you don’t, ha ha. I will attach the link and you can vote only once to count. You have until Tuesday, May 6, I think. You do not have to sign up to be on Spoonflower, so no pressure from them either. My art that you are looking for to vote on is above (the lemon theme).<br />
<br />
I have decided that if I win the tea towel contest this week I will have my own drawing on my FB artist page for anyone who lets me know they voted for my design. You simply have to get on my page and say “I voted” and I will enter you into my drawing. But again, I can only have the freebie tea towel drawing if I win, so if you get your peeps to vote, that will make a difference too. You can tell them if they want in my drawing they will need to “like” my FB page and let me know they also voted on Spoonflower for my tea towel design.<br />
<br />
Here’s the <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/contest_voters_temp/new?contest_id=245" target="_blank">link</a> to the Spoonflower weekly contest (the recipe tea towel contest), then when on scroll down until you find my art, click on the check at the top, left of my design (which by the way will be sideways, the art that is) and submit your vote.<br />
<br />
If you want to tell me you voted, go to my FB <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sherimcculleystudio?ref=ts&fref=ts" target="_blank">link</a> and say so in a comment below the image of my tea towel design. Then if I win, you can be in my own free tea towel drawing on Facebook.<br />
<br />
If you want to see my Spoonflower shop you can go to this <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/sheri_mcculley?sub_action=shop" target="_blank">link</a>. I have a few collections up, but more to come in the future. Please note, some of the collections are for sale, but others are not yet, so keep that in mind. This tea towel design is not yet for sale.<br />

Remember, when life gives us lemons we need to turn them into something wonderful; be it sweet to eat, creative, generous, or helpful and kind to others, and above all with a sweet attitude. My own mom advice to self. :)<br />
<br />
Now, go out and make any sour lemons turn into a wonderful and sweet life. Remember this all next week (and always) of how much your own mother makes your life sweet . . . and let her know it!Sheri McCulleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12776400057817912249noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436062928932362659.post-84346897733986988102014-03-17T18:19:00.000-05:002014-03-17T18:41:18.037-05:00It’s so easy being green!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

So . . . if your last name starts with Mc . . . and your first name spelled backwards-ish is Iresh, (ooow, so close to Irish) . . . then you had better acknowledge this day, right?</div>
