Ou seria papel rendado? Nem mesmo na embalagem vem o nome desse papelzinho delicado de muitas utilidades. Então vamos a algumas idéias. Primeiro, uma pra casamentos, claro! Cone de papel rendado, para ser preenchido com pétalas ou arroz, para os convidados jogarem nos noivos na saída da igreja. Aqui se usou apenas metade de um papel redondo. Para cones ainda mais estreitos, dá pra usar ainda menos, ¼ por exemplo, fazendo render mais! O cone não pode se muito grande, deve conter a porção exata para ser impulsionado para o alto, sem soltar da mão, uma única vez, e assim todo o seu conteúdo se esvairá pelos ares. Por isso tem que ter pouco arroz/pétalas em cada um. A vantagem do cone é que o convidado não precisa colocar as mãos nas pétalas/grãos de arroz, e ficará mais propenso a não jogar na cara dos noivos, e sim para cima... será? Mas de qualquer jeito, vale pela delicadeza e singeleza... Agora para decoração de um chá de panela, aniversário, ou outros eventos... Móbile de papel para pires, pendurado com linha de nylon (já fiz desses móbiles com tapetinho pra bombom, que é bem mais leve. Não ficou tão bom quanto, mas com certeza, mais barato): Flor com 3 papéis redondos de tamanhos variáveis. Arrematando com um botão, pingente, broche, ou qualquer outra coisinha, fica uma decoração e tanto: Papel quadrado, dobrado para formar um envelope: Convites com recortes de papel em forma de vestidinho (quem sabe a capa de um livrinho de recados ou de receitas para dar para as madrinhas?): Guirlandas: Para algo mais duradouro, aqui eles foram utilizados em decoupàge, para um bule e latas redondas para mantimentos. Esse papel verde é um enigma, só vejo branco pra vender! http://charlottesfancy.com/2010/05/03/crafty-monday-fun-with-dyed-doilies/ Supplies: A bowl or baking dish (I used a Pyrex baking dish) White doilies Food coloring Paper towels Rubber gloves You like coloring Easter eggs, right? Dipping the egg in the dye and delighting in the color when you take them out of the cup? Same thing here with the doilies. Fill the baking pan or bowl with only enough water to cover the doilies – this is key, because you need the food coloring to be very concentrated. You will need to use quite a lot of food coloring. My first two or three attempts were failures (I had too much water in my dish and not enough food coloring). After I dumped out most of the water, and really poured in a lot of dye, it worked nicely. Submerge the doily in the dish/bowl for a few seconds (10 or 15 seconds is sufficient). I started to get bolder toward the end of this craft and I left them in for longer, just to see. Gently take them out of the dish and lay them on a paper towel to dry. They are very fragile, so use caution when you take them out of the pan. Blot them dry right away with another paper towel very gently. Set aside to dry. (I laid mine out on a table, underneath a ceiling fan, and they dried very quickly). If you don’t want your fingers to turn green or blue or purple, like mine did, use rubber gloves to take the doilies out of the dye. Also, this craft is a paper towel hog; you will want to have lots of paper towels handy. This is definitely a kid friendly activity, except it might take kids (depending on how old they are) a couple of tries to get the doily out of the dye without tearing it. Elena and Rosa had no trouble; their favorite part was telling me which color to make next. These are (predictably) SO addictive to make, and it’s why I now have a zillion colorful doilies. Who wants some? http://www.scrapbookbrasil.com/comunidade/showthread.php?14373-papel-rendado/page5 http://www.marthastewart.com Step 1 Working on a covered surface, lay a 24-inch wreath form inside a 30-inch one. Attach them with 24-gauge wire at 6 to 8 evenly spaced points. Step 2 In a ventilated area, coat combined wreath form with white spray paint. Let dry. Step 3 Wrap wreath form with a 20-foot strand of white holiday lights (test lights beforehand), leaving the plug end unwrapped (as much as is needed to plug in). Step 4 With scissors, widen the center-hole slits slightly in paper bouquet holders (we used 10 8.8-inch ones, 20 6.4-inch ones, 20 4.8-inch ones, and 50 3.2-inch ones). Poke a finger through center hole of each bouquet holder (from front to back) to create openings large enough to accommodate a lightbulb. Step 5 Beginning with largest ones, place bouquet holders evenly around wreath, slipping a light through each hole so that bulb bases, not bulbs, rest against paper. (From time to time, hang wreath, and step back to ensure that the arrangement is balanced and attractive.) Step 6 Add remaining bouquet holders in descending size order. Use smallest bouquet holders to cover centers of larger ones and to fill in any gaps. Hang near an outlet. Unplug when unattended.

Create a template for the tracing paper/vellum. I used my old drawing block as the template. After a few attempts to get the right template, I am satisfied with my crisp looking template! 2. Trace the template into the tracing paper and use cutter to cut it. But for the folded side in the middle, use the blunt edge of the cutter to give a folding mark. 3. Spray the tracing paper with the Adhesive Spray. Don’t forget to put newspaper to cover the surrounding area. Leave it for 15 secs. Carefully stick it to the doilies, make sure it fits perfectly. 4. Fold the doilies to follow the tracing paper’s structure. Secure the inside of the envelope with double-sided tape. Voila! Beautifully hand-crafted envelope. Yup! I am going to make a hundred pieces of this. Ambitious as it may sound, I still have 6 months in the making and my wonderful artist/designer friends to my aid. So, to all our beloved guests, this is just for you!
