DIY Happily Ever After Wedding Favour Tags

I've been working on favour tags for my wedding in October and came up with some cute tag designs.  I used cardstock that had white on one side and a lovely water colour pattern on the back with some shimmering details.  I printed in colour for the blank side and printed just text onto the patterned side.  I really liked how the back of my tags turned out and decided to make a set of tags for my shop with a similar effect.

I gave these tags a watercolour look, plus some lace details.  The sunset coloured tags have text and writing in the background instead of the lace detail.

If you would like to use these tags for your wedding favours, just purchase the PDFs from my store, print them in colour onto cardstock, and cut out your tags with regular or scalloped edging scissors.  The files download instantly.

Have a great week!

PDF Pear Pincushion Tutorial Giveaway

I made a few alterations to the pear pincushion template so I  tested it out. This time, I went with some bright reds and yellows. 

As you can maybe see, the lower section of the pear is now a tad bit smoother.

The main difference, is how bunchy the base is.  I noticed that the base of the original pear was kind of pleated at the bottom, so I figured it was too much fabric. 

 I narrowed a base a little and the end result is much smoother and neat.  Yes! 

I also tested out how I could use regular cotton fabric to make the stem and leaves.  You basically have to thicken it with batting in order to make them the thickness similar to when I used fleece and corduroy for the first pear.  I think it looks pretty good this way! 

The leaf vein stitching shows up really well, and makes a nice indentation in the batting.  Hooray!

Do you like the pear pincushion?  Want to try making one of your own?  Then leave a comment on this post and be entered into a draw to win a pear pincushion pattern of your own!  Do you like the leaf better with fleece or cotton fabric?  Which stem is better?  What's your favourite pincushion shape?

Don't forget to leave a way for me to contact you!

Happy Sewing!
