coffee, chocolate and friends....

those things all go together soooooo well! At Kmart the other day I was in the party section (as you do) and I found a stack of coffee cups with lids (yip $2.50 for 10!) and I knew what I wanted to do with them! I undid one to get the template for the shape of the cup itself as you need to get the curve right as it's not just a straight strip of paper. Then a decorating I went!!! At the Stamp Camp I went to a demo (Juliette) taught us how to make the lovely burlap flower out of our burlap ribbon. It's so fun to do - it leaves you with lots of threads from the ribbon which is what I used for the bow and around the lids etc. If you would like to know how to make these book yourself a workshop with me - email me at julia.leece@vodafone.co.nz

Oh yes the coffee cups are filled with chocolates - pineapple lumps to be precise! lol
