TPBP - DT Project - Banner on a Spool and Gift Box

Hello Everyone,

I have just completed another design team project for The Piece By Piece which can be found at www.thepiecebypiece.com.  I made a Mini Happy Birthday Banner that rolls up on a vintage spool.  This would be perfect for anyone's birthday or any occasion.  The recipient could hang up their banner for the occasion and then when finished with it, roll it back on the spool, and tuck it into the pretty little box to await the next occasion.  I also made a small birthday card to go with the banner.  The box that the spool fits in was just a box I think I had purchased from Michaels some time ago.  It had a dark pattern but I painted it with a creamy pink paint and then covered the edges with paper from the Divinie Collection from Prima.  I also added lace and trim to the box.

I used laces and trims from The Piece By Piece as well as the papers from the Prima Lyric and Divine collections that I had purchased from the store some time ago.   The items used are as follows:
Cream Venice Lace - http://www.etsy.com/listing/155478565/1-yard-venise-lace-in-cream-tl-71-810?ref=shop_home_active
Fancy Shear Lace - http://www.etsy.com/listing/155481289/1-yard-fancy-sheer-lace-7029-cream?ref=shop_home_active

Pink Lace Trim - Out of Stock
Cream Fan Lace - Out of Stock

I covered the paper on the card and the box with some of the lace trim.  I just love the look.  You can still see the pattern of the paper but it has the lace covering - very similar to the clothing we are seeing in the stores these day.  Designers are covering all kinds of print fabrics with lace.  It is beautiful.

Here is my design team project for February for The Piece By Piece:

I created a Muslin Roll for my sister-in-law's 50th Birthday.  We will be in Ecuador with her on her 50th birthday and I wanted to take her a homemade gift (she has always loved handmade gifts) but it needed to be small since we have to pack light.  I took two strips of muslin that were approx. 3" wide by 50" long and sewed pieces of  laces and trims from The Piece By Piece.  I also stitched a vintage measuring tape across the top so I would have 50".  I then sewed both pieces together - leaving the frayed edges out.  I then embellished each sides with pictures from Julie's 50 years.  It was perfect because aren't our lives like little pieces of this and that stitched together to make life.  I printed the pictures out on fabric paper so they would be flexible when the roll was rolled up.  The links to the items I used from The Piece by Piece, the store and my video are all below:
