Party Straw Tutorial with Emma Trout {using Hello World by Allison Kreft!}

Today, our very own, {AMAZING} Emma Trout is here to share a tutorial with us! We're SO excited that Emma is sharing, not only, her BEAUTIFUL layout...

...but, also, what inspired her to create in the first place, our NEW Paper Party Straws!

Here's Emma to tell you all about it!

Here's how she did it!

Punch a 1 1/2" circle from Hello World patterned paper and glue a 1" circle on top.

Cut out your chosen design from Hello World paper and glue onto a silver ' A Christmas Story' jewelled charm. Stick this on top of the layered circles, adding ribbons, pearls and any further patterened papers designs you choose.

Glue this layered embellishment with a hot glue gun) onto a Hello World straw.

One example of a finished straw.

However, it would have been criminal to actually use them!!

I didn't let that put me off and created a layout with my party straws on it. 

I arranged the straws onto the layout and when happy with the arrangement, i marked the points where the straws crossed. I cut each straw at an angle so they would lay flat on the layout and glued them together with the hot glue gun.

Don't worry if the joins are a bit messy as you can cover them with a ribbon!

I also made some paper tassels from Hello World straws.

Simply cut a piece of straw 1 1/2" long. Work around the straw making fine 1 " cuts to emulate tassel strings. If you prefer a fuller tassel simply cut two, fold the second so it fits inside the first and you are done! You could add a bead, gem or cap to the top of your tassel.

Let's take one more look at Emma's finished product! See the how she wrapped the velvety ribbon from the Hello World Mini Trim Pack around the straws!? ...and the tassels hanging from the string towards the top are INCREDIBLE! What a terrific idea!

We hope you've enjoyed today's tutorial! Emma, thank you so much for taking the time to share your inspired ideas with everyone! <3

Sweet Routine Tutorial {...for Perfect Storytelling!}

Do you have a favorite part of the day, week, month or time of year? Designer Stacey Michaud loves Sunday morning. The perfect spot, her floral chair, a place to sit in front of her fireplace.

We're in LOVE with her BEAUTIFUL layout!

Here are some tips on how she created it...

First, she decided to add thin circles around her page from the 'Sweet Routine,' Fun With Cameras patterned paper by, first, cutting the circular rose image out. 

Wanting to add more circles, without a ton of pattern, Stacey used the same circular rose images from the paper, but this time cut around the inside and outside of each circle by using a sharp pair of scissors to punch a hole in the center of the circle and cut from there.  

Last, in order to make her layout pop, Stacey added strips of pink and green to the diagonal design on the right hand side of the paper.
