Good morning one and all. How is everyone?
Another busy week at The Pond with Mr D's birthday and the last flurry of Christmas cards and present buying, not to mention food planning...........remember the shops are closed for a couple of hours over Christmas so we must get at least 6 weeks worth of food supplies in!!!
Now, today its time for more jolly japes over at MAWTT and this fortnight's challenge is.......
Anything But A Card
That gives you all a lot of scope so lets see your fabulous craft projects when you join in the fun.
My project was a nappy balloon that I made for Nesta's niece when she had a little boy in August. Something a bit different from the usual nappy cake but I did make one of those for Nesta to give her with other stuff she had bought........see the photo at the end.
Ingredients
Square box
Disposable nappies
Baby gifts
Paper lampshade (I used a 10 inch diameter)
Ribbons
Plant supports (they were green but I wrapped them in ribbon)
Sue Wilson Stuffed Animal dies
The amount of nappies you need will depend on the size of the box you use.
Hope its given you a a bit of inspiration to join in or a least to pop over and see what my lovely team mates have come up with.
Here is the normal nappy cake for Auntie Nesta to hand over............
That's me for now...........my to do list keeps getting longer.
Be good.

Oh Ang this is stunning I love it. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteWOW! I have never seen anything like either of these baby gifts. How clever you are.
ReplyDeleteI think no matter where we live, we think we'll perish when the grocery stores are closed. I have been twice and still need a few items.
Have a wonderful Christmas holiday to everyone here and we can wish for a much better 2019.
