TUTORIAL how to assemble our printable banners

Lots of our costumers are always asking for a tutorial on how to assemble out printable files.
Today I will start with the printable banner, the one harder to assemble without instructions.
So let's start, hope that I'm good explaining lol ♥
First, print your banner. Use card stock for better results, if you can find 100 lbs or heavier that would be perfect!

Then cut the shapes. This one has 3 triangles x page but some others on my page Curious Princess

are made with different shapes, like squares or circles.

If you have a Paper Trimmer they can make your work easier :)
Then punch a hole on each upper corner on the pennant like this:

Now to assemble:

Cut some ribbon or tulle (around 3 or 4 inches for small knots) and attach to each other.

I like them this way but you can also string ribbon through.

And here is how it looks when finished. Cute! ♥

Thanks once again fro taking your time to visit my page ♥

Have a wonderful, curious day!

Home made Play Dough recipe

It is me again!I was so busy that didn't have time to post again but wanted to make something special for you this time ♥Here is the recipe I use to make play dough at home, my son loves to help and then to play with it!

I also use it to make party favors (this time I used some Yo gabba inspired labels)Ok, ok, back to the recipe!You will need:♥ 3 cups of flour♥ 3 cups water♥ 1 1/2 cups of salt ♥ 2 tbsp vegetable oil♥ 2 or 3 tbsp cream of tartar (they say it make it more elastic, I have added more and I love the results)♥ food coloring (I use gel colors, you can use any brand available at your store)

Now, set your stove to medium-low heat.
Mix flour, water, salt, oil and cream of tartar in a saucepan and cook.
Stir occasionally, it will look like a hard pudding around the next 6 to 8 minutes.
When it starts forming like a soft dough you can turn on the heat.
Use some parchment or waked paper and pour the mix on it.
Knead until it cools (just double check that is not extremely hot when you start kneading!)
Separate in around 8 parts (more or less depending on how much of each color you want)
add some drops of coloring gel, knead a little bit more and put in airtight containers.
You can use ziplocs, too.

Let me know if you try it!
Thanks once again for stopping by today,

Have a wonderful, curious day!

5.5.12 TUTORIAL: How to make Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

       I love ice cream. And I love Cupcakes ♥
Then what could be better than Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes??
       For this tutorial I will use Duncan Hines cake mix but you can use your favorite brand or recipe.
Ready? Let's start:
       Get everything to make your cake, mine calls per eggs, water and oil (I will substitute oil x apple sauce).
       I adapted a disposable cake pan to use as a pan. Just cut some holes with a knife.

Now prepare the cake according to the box instructions or your recipe ♥ Thanks Arianna for been our model ♥

Now fill the ice cream cones (in this process a glass baking dish was used to keep the ice cream cones tight) Don't fill them more than 3/4 because they will overflow. Believe me, they will! :D

Once baked (they bake faster than cake) take a fork or a bamboo skewer and make some little holes in the ice cream cone, that will prevent them from getting soggy while they cool down.
