Getting a little crafty. . .


I was so very inspired by Madretz's button tree. My version using vintage buttons is included here.

Somewhere on the internet, I spied a mobile/wind chime made using an embroidery hoop and cookie cutters. This is my take on it. I used embroidered ribbon, star cookie cutters, an inexpensive hoop and a ring at the top.

I suspect these are the only non-knitted items I have posted here.

I am heading to Walmart today to try to find one of those styrofoam cones...we don't have any art supply stores anywhere close. I want to try one of the button trees, too!

And I've never thought about doing a mobile like that before. You're getting really crafty, Ragged!

How did you fasten the top of the mobile? Is it just the bunch of ribbons? It's adorable & I have a pretty decent set of cookie cutters.
