Remember this post from last week? The tutorial is ready. A fun and quick way to create twine for your gift wrapping.
Here's what you'll need - yarn (two ply works the best), beads (I'm using glass seed beads), scissors, cotton thread (any thin thread) and a pebble.
Cut two pieces of yarn in necessary length. Make a knot and put it under the pebble or some other weight.
Use both hands and twist the ends of the yarn in direction of spinning making it tighter. At the same time interchange both threads in an opposite direction. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. If the direction is right the yarn will spin together.
You can decorate the twine with beads. Thin cotton thread is of great help here.
Keep twisting the yarn until you get the twine in desired length.

I'm offering free shipping worldwide until December 1 which is my second etsyversary. Celebrate with me!
Monday moodboard - festive

Hello Monday! I'm pondering about Christmas decorations for my home, although I won't put them up until just a few days before the holidays. It's my strategy to reload Christmas mood after weeks and weeks of preparations and rush.

My creative space
Thursday, 25 November 2010
This week has taught me a lot about balance. Balance between work and relaxation. You can't have one without the other. This is why I've been absent from my blog lately. Change of activities to bring things back to order.
Meanwhile my creative space is all about Christmas. I'm working on a tutorial and the snow we woke up to this morning was just in time for even more Christmas mood. Stay tuned and visit this blog next week!
To play along and see who else is playing this week visit kootoyoo. It's fun!
