Giveaway- Print, Paint & Ink: Over 20 Modern Craft Projects for You and Your Home

Leave a comment in today’s post by September 29, 2016 and you are in the running for this pretty craft book.

Open to U.S. residents only please.

This is a wonderful collection modern projects. They only require a minimal amount of supplies and materials most of which a general crafter would have on hand already. Some of my favorite call for natural materials like rocks and sticks. There is a wide variety of shapes from honeycomb, lines, crosses, stars, arrows, triangles and more. Another project uses a spirograph wheel and ring which I just got recently and now I am excited to use in the project featured in this book. A great resource for a variety of project tutorials and inspiration.

More about the book from the publisher:

“The 21 projects in Print, Paint & Ink are perfect for anyone interested in learning to make their own stamps, prints, and painted goods. From the easy and adorable Teeny Tiny Eraser Stamps to the stylish Furoshiki Wrap to the modern and minimalist Nesting Poplar Boxes and so much more, there’s something in here for every skill level.”

Time Flies — And Sometimes It Has Wings Made of Vintage Paper and Buttons

Have you ever been to the cuckoo clock shop at Tamborine Mountain? It’s like stepping into another world — a charming, ticking wonderland filled with thousands (yes, literally thousands) of clocks. Some are grand and ornate, others tiny and tucked away like secrets waiting to be discovered. I remember walking through the shop with my kids, completely enchanted by the whirring gears, dancing figurines, and the joyful chorus of chimes. It was one of those places where time feels like it both stops and flies.

That same feeling came flooding back when I stumbled across this adorable craft project from Teawagon Tales called Time Flies. In true vintage style, it’s a whimsical little DIY that combines scraps of fabric, old paper, buttons, and clock faces into sweet butterfly-like creations — a beautiful mashup of memory, imagination, and just plain cuteness.

It reminded me that crafting is a little like walking through that clock shop. Each piece holds a story, a tick of nostalgia, and the joy of noticing small details. You don’t need much — just some leftover fabric, maybe an old book page or two, and a few bits from your button tin. And suddenly you’re creating something that feels like it fluttered out of a fairytale.

So if you’ve got a stash of pretty paper or vintage bits and bobs you’ve been saving for “something special,” this might be the perfect project to give them new life.

Take a look at the full tutorial and soak up some serious inspiration:

And if you ever find yourself near Tamborine Mountain, do yourself a favour — pop into that cuckoo clock shop. It’s pure magic for anyone who knows that time isn’t just measured in minutes, but in memories.
