My desk is rather Distressing today!!! ha ha. I am making a project for a challenge and am in the process of making some teeny tiny paper bows in all the colours of the Distress Ink Rainbow! It is a labour of love. I learnt how to make these bows at the weekend and they are so fab I just had to share. Last night I uploaded a video tutorial and so today I am sharing it.
Hope you all enjoy it and give it a go. Don't forget to subscribe to my You Tube channel if you want to hear when I upload my next video. It doesn't seem long ago that I shared my first ever tutorial. I am really enjoying making them even if it does take forever to upload them to You Tube!
I'd better go and chase my son out of the shower if I want to have some hot water! See you when I am decent! If you want to find out more about the greatest desk hop in the world then please follow this link and enjoy!
If you leave me a comment, and I hope you do, I would love to know where you are in the world today.
Happy WOYWW to you and thank you for popping by X

Thanks for sharing the video ... I'm always fingers and thumbs with bows! Thanks also for your visit today, unfortunately I haven't got as organised as you yet with videos although it's on my 'to do' list, so will definitely include some gelli-plate stuff in it. Happy Woyww Liz@51

ReplyDeleteI love the color swatches up on your wall...I do that too and find it really handy. Now maybe if I just stayed with one type of product I could remember them! It's fun seeing all the bows and ink blocks. I'm at lunch at work and am letting the video load so I don't have to start and stop; looking foward to seeing it! Hope you have lots of time to create this week!!
