Playing on my Piano!
Why not make something special this month.
I made this piano above by using a template and instructions given in 'The Tattered Lace' magazine issue 14. I found the instructions easy to follow and was pleased with my first attempt (see picture below). I made this special gift for a pianist acquaintance for her birthday. Needless to say she was very surprised!
You can put chocolates or a little gift under the piano lid. The choice is yours. I placed a chocolate treat wrapped in white tissue paper under mine and then placed white roses and pink daisies around the edges - I did not glue them in place but left them loose so that the recipient could get to her gift. I did glue all the other floral decorations onto the piano - so even when these flowers were removed it would not look bare (see pictures below).
Finally I made a plain box to fit the piano in and my special gift was finished. See www.tatteredlace.co.uk for information about the magazine. Keep crafting!
