Flavoured Echoes

My sister, Diana, and I had intentions to join the fun over at Young House Love for their Pinterest Challenge last November.  But I had moved in October so it was postponed.

Then Christmas happened, Diana had guests and I was still running around like a nut.

During December we chatted about doing it but expanding the idea.  We thought it would be cool to do it once a month and share our projects with one another so that’s what we are doing. We are calling it the 1850 Mile Pinterest Challenge since that’s how far apart we are.

I have chosen a Christmas theme since I have been wanting to make new Christmas decorations for my home. I have a good number of pins already in my Pinterest Christmas board.

My idea is that I show you each of the projects as I do them and in December I’ll show you how I’ve used each of them in decorating my home for Christmas! 

I wanted to start simple and decided to recycle my Christmas cards into a Christmas Card Ball.

I didn’t take any how-to photos but I will share a link to a animated gif that shows you how easy it is to determine the equilateral triangle for any circle.  This will make it easy to grab anything circular to trace in your house to make the template to fold against. It’s as easy as taking the cards you received and cutting 20 circles out, folding in the sides using the template and gluing it together. Don’t worry if it doesn’t go together perfectly

As it happens, it’s not quite finished (it needs glitter!!) and it deserves better photos. So I will be updating the photo below with something less pink and more sparkly.
