Paper Pompoms

Extra cupcake liners hiding in your cupboard.

Can you relate?

You could bake with them again.

Or you craft with them!

Blah but cute.

Tada! and cuter!

Fashion them into pompoms by

bunching up & stapling the ends,

attaching them together with hot glue

and finishing off with string.

Do the same with these paper liners -- left over

from an empty box of truffles.

More pompoms in a different color.

Hang them on your desk or a window sill

to add some fun & festivity to an

ordinary day!

Have a happy weekend!

Props for Pops

If you've ever made cupcakes or muffins but don't make them

regularly, you're left with a stack of paper liners.

Well, I've got another idea for you!

Turn them from blah...

...to Tada!

Make a small hole at the bottom of the cupcake liner,

attach this to a popsicle to catch any messy drips & spills.

I got this idea from the fabulous Donna Hay.

It was such a Tada! idea, I needed to pass it on!

Jolly Jar Lids

All this week, I'm finding new uses for left-over cupcake liners.

From blah...

They become Tada!

Use them as decorative jar covers for your

homemade jams, jellies & pickled veggies.

Or in this case, your prized candy...

Or favorite coffee flavor that you might

want to share with your friends.

Makes a wonderful holiday gift, don't you think?

Cheerful Cards

I found some cupcake liners in my pantry.

And I thought, "This would be great to turn

from blah to Tada!"

So I used these to embellish handmade greeting cards.

The cards are made out of brown paper bags.

All you need are pens, scissors, glue, glitter and

a wild imagination to make it your own!

Cupcake Liners

Happy new week everyone!

I've been puttering around the kitchen

and look what I found:

Unused cupcake liners left-over from an afternoon of baking.

And since I don't have enough to make another

batch of cupcakes, I'm using them for

a week of craft projects!

From blah, they're now Tada!

I've turned them into award medallions!

Use these for school or office contests,

give them as awards or attach them to prizes!

Have a great day!

Happy Halloween!

I figure you're busy putting the finishing

touches on your Halloween costume or decor and

buying your tricks & treats to give away.

Don't forget the candy bucket for the kids

the haul in the loot!

Today, let's revisit some of my blah-to-Tada!

crafts from last year:

A bucket made from an empty yogurt tub.

Here's another version made from a cleaned out

ice cream container.

And this bag is made from an old tank top.

Blah to Tada!

Have a fantastic weekend and a

Happy Halloween everyone!

Halloween Treats

This week, we're gearing up for Halloween and

re-visiting a few blahs for a new set of Tadas!

Remember what I made out of toilet paper rolls?

Let's make something timely for fright night.

Blah: empty toilet paper rolls

Tada!: Halloween treat containers!

The paper rolls are wrapped in black & white (or orange)

paper, tied at the top with thread & decorated with

a scary sticker. These are filled with treats:

Tiny pumpkin erasers

Small Dracula erasers

Candy

And lots of stickers!

I can't wait to hand these out on Halloween!
