pggfleurdilis

Welcome back to Mardi Gras Week at Embellished Bayou! Be sure and check out day one and day two of the party if you haven’t already.  Today I’ll be sharing a some Mardi Gras craft ideas. 

I made these cute little signs for my Etsy shop:

Hang them anywhere for a little dose of Mardi Gras spirit!

They’re cute hanging on a Mardi Gras wreath or tree:

Or even tied around a bottle of wine for a hostess gift:

They started out like this: IMG_3365

and after hubby’s help: IMG_3366

ended up like this: IMG_3367

A little paint, rhinestones,  ribbon, and voila!

  6. Love the bead art! Love the fleur de lis. We have a whole tub of beads in the cellar from that trip in 2004. I've been back since Katrina, but not for Mardi gras.
