It's a Blog Hop for April Fools Day



Welcome to day 2 of Little Prince Blog Hop.  I hope you enjoyed your day yesterday looking through all of the blogs.  My name is Jodi and I am the owner of Talking Twine and Trim @ etsy found here:talkingtwineandtrim@etsy.com   It is a bakers twine shop with some fun new items such as pattern paper straws, seam binding, cupcake boxes, cookie bags and washi tape.   Recently I did a 1 day outdoor boutique and I had questions about what can you do with all of the bright, fun colorful stuff.   So today I am going to share a few ideas that would also work with the little guys in your life.   

It's a fun little party favor.   I took a mix of paper straws in boy colors and started with a full length straw and just kept cutting them down by a 1/2 inch.  Then I took 2 lengths of washi tape and taped them together.   Kids could make there own they are so easy!   With that said these little straw pipes don't make noise so they are a mothers dream but a little guy to sing/hum his tune and then they do make music.


 Next is a simple scrapbook page.   Yes it has flowers and such on it but the pinwheels are cross gender and I see some great outdoor photos housed here.  There is a bit of washi tape on this layout.

Next is a pillow box that is the perfect place for a gift card.   Slip it in and fold up the edges.   I finished it off with some die cuts, tag and of course my passion bakers twine.



Ok now for the good stuff.   Yes there is a freebie attached to this blog post and this is it.


Yes a prize package of ocean goodness.   10 yards of ocean bakers twine, a roll of ocean washi tape and a box of ocean straws.   Here is how you can win this in a random draw.

1.   Like and share my facebook page here:
2.   Also favorite me over at etsy here:
3.  Check in here and tell me that you are finished and need some ocean pretties.   
4.  Also I am really sorry but this time around ONLY US winners please unless you are willing to pay the interenational shipping.   My last two facebook winners have been very nice Canadians and I have to keep shipping to the US.  

If you already follow me at either of these pages please leave a comment with that information here as a comment. 

Please keep "hopping" along and here is the schedule.
