Decorative Easter Straws and Holder

I wanted to create something fun for my kids during Easter as a decoration for the table and also functional as a straw (but it could also be used purely as a centerpiece decoration for a table or the straws on their own as cupcake toppers).  The best part is the slide on the straw is removable once the straw has been used and slid onto another straw to be used again next year!!

Here is a step by step tutorial for how made the fun little holder and cute Easter straws using the wonderful Unique Laser Designs wood shapes, Canvas Home Basics papers and rope, Tattered Angels mists and paints, Die-Namites Dies, and Xyron Adhesive.

Check out How to Create Decorative Easter Straws and Holder by Erin Reed on Snapguide.

Here are some up close pictures of the straws and holders, look how the wood shapes just shine with the mists on them.

The wonderful Unique Laser Designs Easter wood pieces in Bunnies 6 pc Set, Easter Eggs 6 pc Set,
Rabbits 2 pc Set  were just perfect for this project.

Photo Props

Hello,

Today I am showing you another way to use the wood embellishments.

Most of us paper crafters are also picture takers.. and more often than not I want photo props.

Here are the 3 super easy ones I made using all Unique Laser Designs products for a recent party and wedding.

Everyone at the party will want to use your photo props. 

 

Mr & Mrs $1

Heart Puzzle Blank $3

Love U

Class of 2014 

and 3 wooden dowels

paints and sealer

 

Here is what the Heart Puzzle Blank looks like when you buy it.

I used the heart back of the puzzle for my photo prop.  Then I used the frame from the puzzle and used it on a layout along with another embellishment from Unique Laser Designs.  Now I can do something with my puzzle pieces.  Here is the layout I created a while ago using the heart frame and Believe in Yourself. 

As you can see many of the Unique Laser Designs products can be used in so many ways. 

What have you created lately using ULD?  We would love to see. 

Have a Great Day, Kimberly
