Prima Doll Tag

I wanted to try something different. So … I hope you like this

PRIMA DOLL TAG

My daughter and I saw the Script in concert recently, and one of the songs has the line “The Good Old Days” over and over and it was just stuck in my head.

I love these Prima Dolls from Julie Nutting, and this particular one reminds me of my daughter!

The Vacation mix of buttons is really fun and had this enormous green button, along with some flower buttons.

I don’t do much of the Mixed Media, but I really had fun with this. I stitched together some pennant strips. I decorated the Prima Doll with Washi Tape. I colored the rest of her with Copic Markers.

The background is just some torn papers that are layered together.

I highlighted the letters and outlined the Good Old Days.

I tied a twine bow through the smaller flower button, and tied it to the large green button from the Vacation mix.

Button Coasters

There’s nothing I love more than a summer afternoon spent sipping a cool drink.  To make the experience even better, I made some colorful coasters to protect my table.  Get out the lemonade and red and white straws.

Supplies for Coasters

Instructions

1. Cut circles from felt using the Shape Template.  I used the 4″ diameter size circle.

2. Glue buttons onto the felt circle in a random pattern.

Tip:  Make sure the buttons are approximately the same thickness as this will keep your coaster surface stable for your drink glasses.

Remember!  These coasters should only be used for cold drinks.  Hot drinks might melt the buttons.
