Wine Glass and Tea Light Easter Centerpiece

by

Craftideas.info has a lovely tutorial that demonstrates how to use wine glasses and small artificial eggs to create an adorable Easter centerpiece. This project involves soldering wires to tea light inserts to create a suspended tea light holder that can be placed above the Easter-scape in the wine glass. The result is a charming and whimsical decoration that is perfect for Easter celebrations.

The website also provides ideas for variations on this project for other holidays and seasons. For example, you can use acorns, pinecones, or small Christmas ornaments for a winter-themed centerpiece. The possibilities are endless, and you can let your creativity run wild to make unique and personalized decorations that suit any occasion.

The tutorial provides detailed step-by-step instructions along with helpful images to guide you through the project. Even if you are new to crafting, you can easily follow along and create your own beautiful centerpiece. This project is not only a fun way to add a festive touch to your home, but it also makes a great handmade gift for friends and family.

How to Store Embroidery Needles

I have a complicated relationship with my embroidery needles. Which is a fancy way of saying I don’t really take care of my needles at all. Even though I know I have embroidery needles to use for cross stitch and sewing, needles that are certainly still in their packages, I can rarely find them when I need them.

So when I saw this post from Crewel Ghoul about how to store your embroidery needles, it hit close to home for me.

It doesn’t really say anything I didn’t already know, but it is good advice that might also serve as a reminder for you to take better care of your needles when you cross stitch or do other hand-sewing projects so that you’ll be able to find your needles again when you need them.

It would help me a lot if I had a dedicated place to keep needles I’m not using, including the needles that are still in their packages from when I bought them. You’d think I would keep them with my embroidery floss but apparently you would be mistaken about that.

Another good idea for me is to have a place to put needles I’ve been using when I am done with them. Because goodness knows I’m not going to put them back in the package. (Which may actually be a good thing because then I know which one I’ve been using and which ones are fresh. Not that I replace my needles regularly, but still.) I own pincushions but I don’t really use them for anything, which is silly.

Check out the post at Crewel Ghoul to see all the options available for storing your embroidery needles properly. I’d love to hear what you do, especially if you have a better system than I do (which, honestly, would be any system at all).
