may day wreath: how to!

Hallo everyone! how are you!? Today we are going to show you, how we made our May Day wreath with wild flowers and lace! It's a super easy and fun project that you can do at any picnic or walk at the park.

we used a wooden wreath that my mum gave me as a birthday present (with two fabulous Laura Ashley cushions!!). But you can use any wreath base you like.

then we picked some wild flowers, leaves and little branches

and tied them up on the wreath with some white lace. I really love the way white lace looks.

be imaginative and arrange the flowers around the wreath in a cute way! You can fill it up, or you can leave some space that the wreath and the lace shows.

and tada! you have a very pretty spring wreath! 

we used about one and a half meter of lace, and the best way to tie, the flowers, up is to make little bouquets and tie them up gradually. Do you like it!? Tell us your opinion. What is your favourite wreath style?

Bows all around

We know you love them, you know we love them! everyone loves them!
As you might already know, this weekend we are debuting our lovely Double Crochets' shop, in the fabulous vintage and crafts bazaar "Past Tense", taking place at Ginger Ale (Themistokleous 74, Exarheia).
It was on our new year's resolution list to participate in this bazaar and it seems we are crossing it out from our list, soon...

Today we are proudly presenting: Bows all around.
It's an all-year-long accessory that can be styled on ones hair with different hairstyles, easy and fun, it can style up every outfit. (You can check our related post on styling a bow for fun inspiration). For a fresh and cool result we did use high quality cotton yarn, and some gingham fabric for a spring sense! A more bulky version was achieved with regular sweet colored yarns.

Some ideas on how to style them:

You can either style one, or a pair of bows, depending on the hairstyle.

So these are some ways you can put our bows in your daily outfit.
The last photo is my personal favourite and my favourite hairstyle ever (wish I could have this). Isn't Panagiota the cutest?! I just adore how she poses!
