DIY Kokeshi Doll Stir Sticks


Konnichiwa!  (That is "hello" or "good afternoon" in Japanese.)  How are you doing?  It has been a crazy few years for all of us, and I sincerely hope that you are not only surviving - but thriving, in spite of it all.  I realized that I have neglected my blog once again, and really hope to do some catching up this year.  I am mostly working for others, but plan to document my portfolio over here, and hopefully include a few original DIYs as well.  These DIY Kokeshi Doll Stir Sticks are from way back in 2019, and were included in The Handmade Charlotte Playbook (by Rachel Faucett)!  Did I even write a post about that?!  If not, I definitely will in the near future.  It should be on every Christmas wish list!  Well, I look forward to catching up with you.  Be sure to head to Handmade Charlotte for the Kokeshi Doll tutorial!

"Vintage" Lucky Charm Piñatas


So, I pulled these Lucky Charm piñatas out of storage the other day, and they look a little rough from being shoved in a tub with a bunch of other projects for several years.  Since that aged them a bit, we'll just call them "vintage"!  In fact, the shooting star used to be orange and white, instead of orange and yellow, so "vintage" seems legit - right?!  Which color scheme do you prefer?  Lucky Charms cereal has always been my favorite inspiration for St. Patrick's Day, and you can find the original post for the piñatas here.  The tutorial for the treats can be found at Handmade Charlotte - and that is not milk in the bowl!  Be sure to check them out.  


Don't forget to make a Leprechaun trap!  Lucky Charm Kabobs make the perfect bait, since Leprechauns looooooove Lucky Charms.  I think I'm part-Leprechaun.  


You could make some Lucky Charms Sushi with pink milk "soy sauce"!  Find the tutorial here.  I also wanted to share the cutest shop with the most adorable fetti.  Happy St. Patrick's Day!
