Letter Writing Portfolio
This is my very first tutorial! Because of the many photos in it, I turned it into a PDF file which you'll be able to hardcopy as well ...and then because blogger doesn't seem to like that format, I changed each page into a JPG.
I know those of you reading this blog through a reader will not be able to get an automatic translation but with so many pictures, you should have no problem understanding it anyway.
.
If you click each picture, it should enlarge....
Enjoy!

Flower Kits
Not sure who or where I got this from. If it's yours, please let me know & I'll make sure to acknowledge you....
This one is a fast and easy plant if you have one of the tiny flower punches. Grab a pot, bend a wire. Glue it in the pot and start covering the top half with the tiny flowers that have been cupped. I just smear glue on it and start picking up the flowers with tweezers and filling the top up as much as possible.
Then cut about five long blade shaped green leaves. Curl them with your scissors. Stick them around the stem with white glue. Sprinkle a bit of dirt to cover the glue.and you are done.... Hyacinth in a jiffy. You can make them in whatever color you want. I just happened to have purple.
The other two flowers in the photo are another very old, very faded Hyacinth and a generic daisy type flower that I whipped up with one of the flower punches. Three layers were pierced in the center and strung on a piece of wire. The top end was painted brown and leaves stuck on.
More instant flowers. All you need is the right punches.
