Our new decorative gift tape designs have landed at our sister brand Pearl and Earl‘s HQ and we have been playing with them all weekend.  The kids favourites are the BOYS AND GIRLS tapes.. which they have have fun making cards with.
Personally we think they make a great quick wrap idea teamed with our candy striped bags…  or to jazz up some simple brown paper wrapping…. we have 2 versions of our NO PEEKING tape – one is a simple big stamp (240mm long) and the other is a typographic montage which works really well as an alternative ribbon (whether its Christmas or any celebration)

New stocks of our Striped Paper Straws by our sister brand Pearl and Earl are arriving at HQ this week.

They have proved to be super popular since their launch in April and the first batch sold out in under 2 weeks.  We have A LOT arriving at our warehouse this week in some mouthwatering shades.

Our straws are over 18 months worth of development and sourcing .. and they are eco chic at its best.  100% biodegradeable, printed using water based inks and tested to the highest food standards, before being packed in our biodegradable cello retail packs to come to you…  and NO they do not unravel or disintegrate!

We have worked hard to make sure that the colour has the super bright vibrancy you would expect from us and we have 10 new colours and patterns in development for January.

We hope that you love them as much as we do.  We have bulk packs for weddings and events…to save you a bit of dosh if you are having a big do!

So why not add a touch of nostalgic chic glamour to your drink!

DIY Halloween Decorations

Halloween is upon us and we have some fab Halloween Party decorations at Pearl and Earl, which we have had a little fun with this week.

We are adding to our collection of DIY PARTY activities on the site – and have made these 3 little projects to do with your kids (or have fun with on your own!) They are free to download on our blog here for a limited time – and afterwords can be downloaded from our site for a small fee.

The pack includes a GHOST, SCARY PUMPKIN and DAPPER PUMPKIN for your Halloween enjoyment!  All you will need is a printer, scissors and some of our paper balls and paper bells to decorate.

Alternatively you can simply use them as stencils for your pumpkin – or maybe stick on a balloon?

Why I love paper streamers

ribbon and flower gift wrap

I LOVE paper streamers..  when I was a child we used to twist them and drape them everywhere at Christmas – and the reels just seemed to go on FOREVER…
So when we launched NOSTALGIC EVENTS I set about sourcing these in our colour palette to festoon onto every occassion…
Last week they arrived and yesterday I played and played with the colourful array..  and this is what I came up with!
I am in the midst of writing lots of DIY Party tutorials .. and so full instructions will follow…
Each colour comes in a 25m reel and at less than £3 each you get an awful lot for your buck .. and plenty of paper to play with!  Cheaper than ribbon, bunting and paper chains for sure!

Nostalgic Events and Chic Decorations

Well it is no surprise that “We Love a Good Do” here at Granny Knits .. so it was only a matter of time before we launched our own collection of things to host the most chic celebration!..  which we have in conjunction with our sister brand Pearl and Earl
Most of the celebrations in our lives have had a DIY spin on it – from the home designed wedding invitations and stationery and every kids party in between…  my approach has usually been based around a “theme” which we inevitably go to town on in our own mad cap nostalgic style!  From our pumpkin bread rolls at Halloween to the DIY paper bunting for the Royal Wedding…
Inspired by Amy Atlas the Dessert Bar Queen from NYC (see top pic).. we thought maybe there were more of you out there who loved and craved these nostalgic accessories for your event/wedding/party and wanted something “a little different”
Hey presto.. we designed, we sourced and now the first phase is here!
Starting with a collection of NOSTALGIC DECORATIONS including a plethora of honeycomb PAPER BALLS, PAPER BELLS, PAPER HEARTS, GARLANDS and STREAMERS these are exclusively designed and made by us… including our new PAPER STRAWS..
We stock 11 colours and 12 shapes and sizes – but can do bespoke designs in up to 26 pantone matched colours for wholesale, trade and catering clients…  but for now they are simply delighting us here at Granny Knits HQ ready for the Wedding Season and dare we say it Christmas!
