So you want to give mommy something handmade for this coming Sunday's celebration? Don't fret as we have 5 simple projects that you can surely finish in one day.

1. Washied Monogram 

This ain't just the typical monogram covered with washi or twine - it doubles as a flower pot or even planter! Just open a monogram using a craft knife, cover the letter with washi, then put flowers inside! :)

Our First Sunprinting Workshop!

Summer isn't only meant to be enjoyed by the beach. Last weekend, we had our first event at the studio - Sunprinting Workshop! The summer heat didn't stop everyone from having a blast printing on totes, postcards, and tea towels. :)
