Pinterest – Have you Tried it Yet?

I took a look at Pinterest before all of the marketers started to take over and really liked it. Visually stimulating and it’s one of those sites that you can quickly get lost in…… and waste endless hours just pinning and re-pinning things to your “boards”.

For those of you who have not experienced Pinterest, I recommend doing it once because there are actually many different free tutorials available with step-by-step instructions and photos. Some of them are stunning!

I’ve posted and re-pinned some great crafty tutorials that I think all of you would just love –take a look!

How to: Simple (and adorable) Easter Gift Tags

1 – Simply print out the egg shapes posted below and glue (or tape) the large ones on colourful heavy card stock.

2 – Punch a hole out at the top and loop some string. Using the small egg shapes, cut them out of colourful/textured or decorative paper and arrange them however you like at the bottom of the large egg shape. (I used my scrap Japanese washi). This will allow space to write on the tag but if you require more room, simply use the back of the tag instead.

3 – Attach the tags on Easter gifts, baskets or even on bouquets of spring flowers. You can also make a few of them and turn them into a cute Easter mobile!

Kawaii Bento All Year Round but Especially for Spring *^_^*

Since my Spring Bento from the other day, I started looking for some cute bento boxes and accessories -I’m so sorry that I didn’t stock up when I was in Japan….. it certainly didn’t help I had to leave in such a hurry!

I did find a few things in Amazon and really want to get these egg molds

or these adorable decorative nori punches

or (my favourite) fruit and vegetable cutters that can also work as cookie cutters!

If you would like to have (or give) a cute bento set with accessories………… Here are lots of Bento Goodies to get you started!
