Well this is a bit embarrassing. Last time I put a proper tutorial up on this blog, it was Halloween season. And now it’s the Christmas season, with a big huge lapse of DIY silence in between.

paper Fire Flower bouquet
Valentine’s Day is a month away, meaning that Pinterest and Craftgawker and a thousand other online craft venues are drowning in it.

At Easter I will gladly coo over sweet baby things, at Christmas I’ll happily haz all the feelings over seasonal […]
