Bee happy .... make a wire crown

After making my notice board with chicken wire I had some cut offs left over.

 

Being me I couldn't let it go to waste so decided to make a crown.

 

 

This is my chicken wire crown.

 

I cannot wear it as it has some sharp bits but it reminds me that I am queen of our house anyway :)

 

To make it fancier I used some jewellery wire and wired on some small beads and sparkly heart buttons.

 

I think I may stand a pillar candle inside it on the hearth.

 

The little dog wasn't sure where to stand during the photo shoot as I had disturbed her sun bathing in the bright morning sunshine. She just had to take a look :)

 

Have you made anything recently?

Bee happy ..... get screen printing

Remember my screen printing set I bought while on holiday in North Devon from Clovelly Silk?

Well, I finally made time to have a go this weekend.

This was my tester on an old sheet.

I haven't done any screen printing since I was at school so was quite nervous.

I had made this crown stencil myself, you may be able to see the skull and cross bones under the screen print that I have also made myself.

I think this turned out quite well.

I bought this stencil with the bee and crown, too small to try and cut out myself.

I now need to sew my printed fabrics into something :)

Bee happy ...... be a princess

Popped along to my local TX Maxx store the other day and bagged myself a crown! It was only £10.

I have been on the lookout for something like this for ages.  I just need to put a plant in now.

I also got a box of beads for my creations for a fiver!
