I stumbled across a video, via designer Mark Montano’s blog, on how to make paper. The recipe is very simple, perfect for doing with children. The kid in me decided to give it a try, elaborating upon the stimulus with using my own approach, and ending up with this.

Since I’ve been on the spring bonnet kick lately, I thought a handmade paper one would make for the perfect little addition to my collection.

And, I thought a salt shaker would make for the perfect little hat stand. I think she looks a bit like Sunbonnet Sue. I filled the shaker with lavender from my garden that I dried this past fall, but it could be filled with pretty little nonpareils, too. A charming tablescape favor, don’t you think?
While I was at it, I whipped up another mesh bonnet, as they are just so easy(and fun)to make.
