SRM + The Twinery =

Have you discovered SRM Stickers yet?  I hope so! 

Have you discovered The Twinery twine yet?  I honestly had NO idea what to do with twine but as you will see I overcame that!  Their twine is sooo soft and so very pretty and very very versatile and easy to use!

The SRM Stickers design team was spoilt and we received one of EVERY colour. Far out what do you do with that much twine, well make sure to check out what the SRM Stickers Design Team have created with both on the SRM Stickers Blog.

I had a lot of fun creating these projects with both SRM Stickers and The Twinery products.

I've created a useful gift box filled with note cards, gift tags, extra ribbon and twine wrapped around wooden dolly pegs (which I also use to store my pretty ribbons in a jar and just LOVE them)

This gift box is just perfect for Mothers Day which is coming up soon here in Australia!

I created the gift box using bazzill and my scor-pal and I based it on one of their scor-pal boxes and just super sized the measurements to create a 8" x 8" box - Scor-Pal Project

Mothers Day Gift Box

I recently reorganised my daughters bedroom and I bought a fantastic 4 x 4 bookcase (thanks Ikea) for her room so I wanted a more functional way to store her pens, pencils, crayons instead of stashing them away in pencil cases so after a big search I found these very cute metal pails which stand 4" high.  I was going to paint them but after many many many hours on pinterest looking for ways to use twine I saw many people using the twine to cover bottles and jars and thought the twine would be perfect to decorate these tins with.  I've only done 1 so far but have the other 5 lined up on my desk.

Felt Pen Tin

While on pinterest I also saw a hair comb decorated and knew I could do that and Sabrina loves it.

Hair Comb

And here is dear Sabrina modelling the hair comb, it's perfect!  I might have to do one in school colours!

Thanks for dropping by, hope that inspires you to get creating with both the wonderful SRM Stickers and the very fun twine from The Twinery.
