Good morning everyone...I wanted to show you this little kitchen swag I made yesterday. These swags are so fun to make......
I have a gazillion green handle utensils and thought this would be a fun way to display them, I like the way this turned out so today I'm going to work on one for the kitchen window. I first saw these cute swags on
Sharon's blog and I was hooked. She has made several and I've made an Easter and a Valentine one. They are simple, simple...here's what you do.....
Select the fabric for the theme you want to create. I try to buy remnants. Cut strips 1 inch wide, 7 inches long...cut a lot because this needs a bunch. There are no rules, you can make your swag as long and as fluffy as you want. Now you are.....
ready to tie your strips on to a jute base. Just tie the strips on randomly, when your swag is as full as you want, add your embellishments......and there you go. Have a great day. hugs, Linda

That is so cute. I love your choice/color of fabrics and the green utensils. Thank you so much for sharing this photo with us.
That swag is darling!
That is very cute! I see similar swags in boutiques for lots of $$. Seems they can be made very cheaply...
Thats interesting. I have all of my grandparents red handles ones in a basket on top of my cabinets. I have nowhere to hang a swag like this one.

Hi there, friend! I know I was already over here telling you how cute that darling swag is, but I wanted to let you know that I'm having a giveaway! Be sure to come on over and join in!
That is so cute Linda and a great way to display your green utensils. I should do something like that too!
Linda, what a great idea. I love your swag. Thank you for sharing the directions with all of us.
God bless.
How cute is that? Really cute!
I have several green handle gadgets inherited from relatives. Can't wait the see the yellow one for the window.

This is soooooo cute! Where did you find the old kitchen utensils? I just love this.
I loved seeing your Yule sampler finished. Do you know how you will finish it - frame or something else?
And I loved the book Alice's Tulips. I needed a kleenex at the end. I am also a big Elm Creek quilts fan too.

TY Linda for coming by .. I used to have about 800, all (yes all) hanging on the walls of our house, but when I redecorated a couple years ago I changed all & probably have less than 100 gracing the walls now. I've sold about 200 of them. I love them, more than I can ever say. TTFN ~Marydon
very cute !!!!
Hi ...thanks for stopping in today. Oh how I love the swag. That is just way too cute!
