Party favors! Wow - I remember some glue that is specific for making fabric sturdy. I wonder if they still make it. Anyway, this is such a great idea!
I found this adorable crown craft here Joyfolie: DIY Wednesday - Lace Crowns, isn’t it sweet? I immediately wanted to give it a try. Although mine didn’t turn out as lovely as the one above, I’m happy with them, and the ladies who got them (my daughters) are as well.
I used some lace I had on hand and stiffened it with Crafter’s Pick Fabric Stiffener. After it dried (I used my embossing gun to hurry it along), I brought the ends together using Beacon’s Felt Glue (this glue is amazing for all sorts of things).
I sprayed them with Glimmer Mist Perfect Pearls and let that dry. I attached tiny pearl halves to the larger crown, outlined the tips with a sparkly pen and finished it off with a little cameo. For the smaller one I added 3 tiny white button brads.
These crowns are just a fun thing to display by themselves, on dolls, for children or even your own self!

They sell these at craft fairs in the Fall. It is really a fun little inexpensive way to dress up hot chocolate, espresso…yum!
An easy way to make them: take a plastic spoon dip in melted chocolate and place on wax paper. Put them in fridge until set. You can use any type of chocolate. Wrap in plastic and tie off with ribbon.
A little chocolate with your espresso?
When I visited Barcelona, the coffee shop we frequented most often served little pieces of semi-sweet chocolate with their café con leche. It may be common practice in that part of the world to serve espresso this way, but it was new to me. I seriously loved the taste of the espresso once the chocolate had melted in. So a couple of days ago I dipped a few of my antique, silver souvenir spoons in melted chocolate. After they had cooled on parchment paper for a half an hour I went back and decorated a few. What I ended up with was better than I imagined it would be.
This would be a great gift for a bride or as an upscale hostess gift. You can still find some of the less-elaborate sterling silver spoons at an affordable price, and chocolate’s not expensive. Along with a pretty coffee mug or tea cup tied up in a satin ribbon, it would make a really special, unique gift. Alternatively, plastic spoons dipped in chocolate could be just as fun and you could make lots and lots of gifts or party favors!
