I have always been enamored by Tussie Mussies (or cones).
I love them.
I have always wanted to make them.
I finally did!!

First, I was inspired by Halloween. I love this German Silver Glitter.
I added a vintage Chandelier crystal to the bottom and some velvet ribbon and a chenille stem.
Then, of course I had to make a pink fru-fru one.
I took a piece of vintage floral wallpaper and framed it in this premade silver frame.
I think it turned out sweet. I had to line the back edges with velvet ribbon because they stick out away from the cone and you could see the glue.
I didn't want any nasty bits showing.
I accented my Tussie Mussie with some vintage lace, vintage velvet flowers, and vintage rhinestone chain. Voila!!
I don't know why I waited so long. These were so quick and easy. I guess sometimes we make things seem bigger in our heads than they really are.
If there is something you've been wanting to do for a while, do it!!
You'll probably be surprised at how great it works out.
Have a super weekend,
Cari

I must have been living under a rock because I've never heard the term tussie mussies (I am a newbie tho ;) Those are so great. I can picture a bunch of them hanging from a Christmas tree. Very fun!

These really came out cute. I'm glad you finally did them. It feels good to finally get around to certain things you've always wanted to!
