My very first (and so far, only) pin was for a project that I made Ross for Christmas. I saw the project on a blog and new instantly that it would be perfect!
You see, for nearly a year, I've had these lying around.
They are the menus from our first anniversary dinner at The Oceanaire. They are pretty big, and not that neat. I mean, they say Happy Anniversary across the top, but that's about it. I'm actually not sure why I felt the need to keep them, but I did. And they'd been sitting under our front hall table for the past year!
So I followed the directions in the tutorial and quickly had a cut out of a little flower.
I knew that the paper I'd printed it on wouldn't hold up to 12 tracings very well, so I traced it onto a piece of heavier card stock and cut it out to use as my pattern.
I picked 12 different parts of the menu that I wanted to be part of the ornament. Some of them were more important to include than others.
Then, I just cut them out and assembled. Easy peasy! I punched a hole in one of the flowers and threaded a stretchy silver cord through it so it would have a hanger.

Are you into Pinterest?
Did you make any fun crafts for Christmas?
Oh man, Meg, I was the same for the first few weeks of Pinterest... and then, yes, I got totally sucked in! I'd imagine that for you it'll be especially useful with the baby coming - you can research and save nursery ideas or baby clothes or anything! It's amazing :)
