Mothers day DIY; Sustainable flowers that will last

This mothers day give mom flowers that will last. They are cute and versatile. You could stick them in a cake or hang them on a string like a garland or just in a jar.

What you will need:
-Paper in color and/or print
-Skewer sticks
-Scissors
-Glue or tape
-2 sizes circular object for measuring
-Colored duct tape or tissue paper 

Cut flower shapes out of your paper. Use a smaller shape for the middle. You can play around with the width of the "petals". Cut a slit into the flowers and over-lap one "petal" over the other and stick them together.

I used metallic duct tape for the center op the flower, but you can also use tissue paper.

Stick the flowers through, add the center by just rolling the tape around it. You can even add leaves.

 Et Voila! Flowers that are sustainable and will last.

Bizar Bazar, Curaçao

Last Sunday we visited Bizaar Bazaar for the first time 

(follow them on facebook to keep in the loop). 

Local artists sell their art work, awesome live music and delicious vegan food on he menu.

There is something majestic about the place.

The vibe is laid-back and the view is amazing that leaves you in awe.

DIY; Candy Filled Diamond

 Let me start by saying; I despise Valentine's day, on the other hand, I love crafts and candy! So for those with either a Valentine in mind or a sweet tooth and an itch for crafts, I made this candy filled diamond that would make a perfect Valentine gift.

I started by saving and printing "this" template. 

Then trace on your valentine paper, fold lines and glue the spots that I marked black (for you to see).

 Fill with your favorite candy, close it up...

Et Voila! Your Candy Filled diamond ready to gift
