diy crepe paper woodland ornaments

Today I am happy to share with you my second featured artist post for Carte Fini, my crepe paper woodland ornaments. I combined Carte Fini's amazing papers with my egg piñata technique to make these wonderful and shiny acorns, pine cones and other fun shapes using chicken (and sometimes goose) eggs. These are going to look gorgeous on our tree this year, and will be gifts for many of our friends and family, I'm sure. I will also be selling these through One Kings Lane just before Thanksgiving, so I will keep you posted on that! 

To learn how to make your own woodland ornaments from eggs and crepe paper, head on over HERE for the full acorn tutorial and tips on the other ornaments as well. Thanks again to Carte Fini, I am thrilled to be the featured artist again this month!

My October featured artist project:

Fall Flower Headpieces

fall flower headpieces

Today I am really excited to announce that I have been selected by Carte Fini as the first artist in their new featured artist program. For the next three months I will be creating seasonal projects made from their gorgeous floral crepe paper which will be featured at the Carte Fini website.

For my first project I've made these pretty (and pretty big!) dahlia and marigold headpieces. Click HERE for the full fall flower headpiece tutorial over at Carte Fini. There I'll walk you through how to make the pink, pointy-petaled dahlia, but there is also a guide for how to cut the petals for the other three flowers. I'll be slowly adding these headpieces to my papel SF Etsy shop as well. 

I hope you'll head on over to Carte Fini and check out their featured artist program. And have a happy Monday!
