IOD CHA make and take

Here's the instructions for a quick make and take that we posted on our facebook fanpage. We originally did this at CHA with the new loolah collection. It's not exactly inspired brilliance or anything, lol, but it's a fun little afternoon project. 20 minutes or so?  

At the show we actually changed a few things up and the project looked a bit better, I suggest you do the same. The changes were making one lady buy slightly larger than the other, and putting a paper flower underneath the smaller, a white daisy preferabbly. If you don't like changing things or aren't comfortable ammending the instructions, no worries, just go by the book and it'll be just like the pic!
