CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#115) TISSUE PLEASE...

Tissue paper for gift wrapping that is... It's not just for stuffing gift bags anymore. Or was it ever only just for that?








You can totally use it in your paper crafting adventures.
It's light weight makes it a delicate but lovely accent to add to anything you would want to create. From flowers to mini accordion fans.
You can also Mod Podge it to some shaped chipboard, add some embellishments & presto you have a customized wall hanging. You can stamp these & mist them as well, which gives you yet another way to customize it even further.

Although, there are gift wrapping tissue papers that already come printed with cool designs - so if you are feeling like you want to simplify you can always buy a pre-decorated stash.

It's all up to you!

Most dollar stores carry gift wrapping tissue paper and just one package would give you a lot of crafty mileage. It's worth at least investing in white since it is easily alterable.

Oh the possibilities!

CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#114)Lovin' from your Oven?

Or more to the point, something designed for your oven.A NON-Stick OVEN LINER that is. Or you can also get a non-stick SILICONE BAKING SHEET.



Hey Crafty Friends!

Did you know that you could use a non-stick OVEN LINER OR SILICONE BAKING SHEET as a misting/crafting mat?

Their properties are conducive to crafting.

They are heat resistant up to 500 degrees allowing for usage with our heat & glue guns.

They clean off well and cover a good size surface area so you can paint, ink, stamp, mist & heat emboss til' your heart's content. The oven liners are usually larger so they give you more coverage.

The price point for the oven liners are far better than the one for crafting mats. The silicone baking sheets can be a little pricier depending on where you purchase them.

You can find oven liners & silicone baking sheets in a variety of places like Wal-mart, Target, Big Lots, K-Mart & online retailers. You can find the Betty Crocker version HERE.

If you find you need a craft sheet & don't want to spend a lot of money the non-stick oven liner or silicone baking sheet would be a great choice.
