Let’s Make Some Stuffy Accent Pieces

I am so excited about today’s project because not only do we learn how to make these adorable stuffy accent pieces (perfect for tiered trays) but we also learn how easy it is to chalk on paper!! This paper technique is perfect for the upcoming holidays because you can use it to create your own wrapping paper!!! How awesome is that?! 

Ok so check out this project below. It was such a fun project to make and I only used things that I wanted to repurpose. Feel free to get creative and push your boundaries a little and search for items you have laying around. That board was a serving tray that I was working on that turned into a paint tray for putting my smaller wooden pieces on to paint. It was a very scrappy piece of wood, but that kraft paper kept with the look. 

The kraft paper was some left over wrapping paper from last year, yes I chalked on it. I picked it up that the dollar tree and have had it forever, but any paper would work perhaps a paper bag, card stock, or even just white computer paper….just make sure to wax it first! 

The fabric from the stuffies was from burlap santa sack bag that I have had in my stash for about 3 years. Again any fabric would work wonderfully for this, don’t get stuck on matching the products but focus more on the technique. 


I LOVE how those colors popped off the kraft paper. I used Colonial blue, orange peel, and black velvet along with our August Club Couture transfer, that pumpkin fit perfectly! 

Here is my video tutorial, make sure to have the volume on for some great tips. 


I hope you enjoyed those techniques and give them a try. I know that I cannot wait to make some more of those stuffies for my autumn tiered tray! Make sure to stay tuned so you never miss a video.

Why Crafting is the Best Self-Care You’re Not Doing (Yet!)

Real talk: When’s the last time you did something JUST for fun? If your to-do list is never-ending and you feel like there’s zero time for yourself , I see you. Life gets BUSY. But crafting isn’t just about making pretty things—it’s about making time for YOU. Crafting = Self-Care.   Here’s Why: 🎨 It reduces stress. There’s something magical about slowing down and focusing on a creative project. It quiets your mind, lowers stress levels, and gives you a mental reset. 🖌 It boosts confidence. There’s no better feeling than looking at something YOU created and thinking, Wow, I made that! 💖 It’s an easy way to add joy to your day. Even 20 minutes of crafting can turn a stressful day into a creative escape. But what if you don’t have time to plan projects? That’s where Club Couture comes in! Every month, you get a beautiful, ready-to-go DIY project delivered to your door —all the creativity, NONE of the stress. 📦 This month’s design:   🛍️ Join the club & make ...
