DIY Wall Hanging/ Bag Tassel

Hi Friends,

Have you guys checked out the January challenge at The Twisted Challenges Blog? The theme this month is: Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue. For the mid month inspiration, I created a quick and simple bag tassel that can also be used as a wall hanging.


  • I used a very old background made using Distress Inks (I would have made this at least 3 years ago) and trimmed it to 3.25 by 3.25" size (Something Old).
  • I colored the edges using Chameleon Marker - Royal Blue (BL6)
  • I punched 2 wholes using a round punch and on one end I tied an old bead tassel (Something old) using some wire.
  • I recently received some new years gift from Itsy Bitsy and the gift contained a pack of Little Birdie Eufloria Handmade Flowers in a very light blue shade. I choose one of the blue flowers (Something New) and colored it using Lindy's Starbusrt Baby Blue Eyes Aqua spray (Something blue) and let it dry .
  • Once the flower was dry, I adhered it on the tassel end of the base and add a bead on it (which also I received as a gift from Itsy Bitsy on New Year's. 
  • I used a butterfly die cut (cut using a die I borrowed from Tejal) (Something Borrowed) and colored it using the same Lindy's Starburst Baby Blue Eyes Aqua and adhered it above the flower.
  • To finish the tassel, I strung in a blue thread through the other punched hole.

I hope you liked this simple & quick tassel.

Smile Layout - TTC#7

Hi Friends,

I am back after a long long break. I hope you have missed me :) Well it was my birthday on 31st December and I spent my birthday crafting an inspiration for the January challenge at The Twisted Challenges. The theme this month is:  Something Old,Something New, Something Borrowed/Gifted and Something Blue.


I created a positive layout for my room, with a simple word "Smile" as the focus and kept the whole piece pretty simple. 



  • I used an old wedding card insert for the base (Something Old) and stamped the word SMILE using Versamark ink and WRMK alphabet stamps.
  • I then heat set the sentiment using Ranger Clear Embossing powder. 
  • Thereafter, I applied Ranger Distress Oxide Inks: Broken China (Something Blue), Picked Raspberry 
  • I also did 2nd generation stamping using a retired Stampin Up Stamp (Something Old) and Ranger Archival Ink Cobalt Ink (Something Blue)
  • I then adhered butterfly die cuts which were cut using dies that I borrowed from Tejal (Something Borrowed).
  • I finished the layout with iCraft clay star sequence that I recently brought (Something New). 
I hope you are inspired to join us at The Twisted Challenges. Last date to participate is 31st January.
