Fabric flowers and cupcakes

I got his owl ring! Yay!  it looks better than the picture makes it out. I took it in the dark so the flash makes it look funny. But i love it!
 I got a glue gun! it's my new favourite toy. I can think of hundreds of things to make with this beauty and i want to do them all right now. Guess i'll spread them out though so i can cure my boredom over time. haha.
 These are the first things i made.
They started out as normal flip-flops from Target in the US with plastic straps which would rub on my feet if i wore them for a long time. So i cut off the straps threaded on some flower printed fabric and glue-gunned the bottom of the fabric into the holes where the plastic straps sat before. They are so comfy too! and because you can tie them behind the ankle they don't slip off. Win.

Oh yes. I don't have access to the sewing machine as it's buried under mountains of kitchen stuff (our kitchen is being renovated)  so i can't make the pillows i want to do which sucks ever so slightly.

I plaited some white fabric for these which frayed a lot when i cut it, so it has the appearance of rope. I don't like these as much so may change them at some point.
I also used my glue gun to make these fabric rosettes which i then stuck onto hair clips. Such a cute accessory!
I made these icecream cones (cupcakes) which i showed you in a previous post. They turned out really yummy and i can't wait to make more. I've got proper chocolate sauce this time too instead of melted chocolate. I really want to use meringue instead of frosting too. Don't know how that will work out, but we'll see.
Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom! I had the last one yesterday. It was good.

You will probably want to check this out in full size. I like it because of the owl. Obviously.
