Morning all
Well, Sunday morning and we have a dull look outside today. Where is that lovely sunshine we had yesterday?
I have something different to share today. These are called Tussie Mussies. I had never heard of these I must confess. So, what is a Tussie Mussie? Well I Googled it and found this link which is quite interesting: Tussie Mussie one thing I can tell you though is that I am completely hooked on making them!
You know how it is when you are browsing and something just jumps out at you. Well, when I spotted these on Pinterest I was just so inspired! I actually have a nice little pile of these made now so will share photos of the others towards the end of the week hopefully. I went in search of a Tutorial and found a good selection to be had on the Internet. They are great for using up stash too. It really was just the basic shape I needed so I had a starting point. The interesting thing is I saw that there are different ways to create the basic shape. Some used a square of paper/card as a starting point. Others used a very large circle cut in half.
For this one, I started with a 12 inch square of double sided patterned good quality paper (Pion). I then drew around a large dinner plate to form my circle, cut it out and then cut it in half. I have tried the other method too, so I will be showing you ones I made that way later. I think this one has the edge for me as it produces a little wider top.
You will see that my cone does not come to a point. One Tutorial I watched had what I thought was a really good idea, she did it this way, and started by securing the paper in shape with just a couple of staples. These do not show as they are covered up and it made it much easier.
What do you think?
Well, here I used Pion papers, lots of things from my stash and a few embellishments from Live and Love Crafts.
Thanks for looking today, and a very Happy Sunday to you all.
