Eat, Drink and Craft

Sister hosted a few fabulous sorority sisters for an afternoon of girl talk, eating and crafting this weekend and it couldn’t have been more fun!  We were all asked to bring a black crow and Sister guided us in dolling them up with crepe paper ruffled collars, metal medallions and pom topped hats.

  2. Such a cute, fun project. And it looks nice and relaxing…as I noticed "all the littles" are missing :o)L.Gorli

  3. what a cute idea…is this your sister's house? if it is please post pics…it looks darling! oh, i see someone else wants to see it too!!

  4. Maybe Sister will chime in with a tutorial – here's what I know:
    – put together three strips of crepe paper and sew with a wide straight stitch down the length of one edge. do not backstitch to lock the ends. then pull one of the threads to gather the crepe paper. we used an extra tacky glue (don't know the name) to glue them onto our crow's necks.
    – cut scrapbook paper into cone shaped party hats and top with a pom pom
    – use baking twine to tie on metal medallions

    It was really fun and super easy since she did all the pre-work!!

  5. What fun! Your sister's home looks beautiful, and so do the crows! :) Now…you need to share Sister's recipe for Butternut Squash Soup! :)
