* Welcome to the winter celebration challenge, so fresh and so clean, where four designers have styled handcrafted party scenes to compete for a readers choice award + one incredible grand prize. This is stylist number two, do you think she should win? Vote and tell me why (you can vote for as many parties as you’d like this week!).
A winter craft party, designed and style by Brittni the owner and curator of papernstitch, a fabulous online handcrafted marketplace. Also the author of this blog, where she writes daily including a slew of amazingly cute DIY projects. I absolutely adore her eye for choosing lovely handcrafted stores to feature and her wonderful DIY project styling.
A winter craft party, the perfect way to invite a few friends over and pass the time of a cold evening. Keeping with the casual atmosphere of a few close buddies, and the challenge theme, Brittni decided to keep the decorations minimal (clean) and just add some beautiful (fresh) flowers, along with a couple of finished examples of the DIY project for inspiration. She finished off the table with a gorgeous old scarf in lieu of a table runner, bringing in texture while keeping the evening simple.
Birch tree vases are a great way to bring a handcrafted look to a table. When paired with a modern celebration design and a few scientific beakers they bring a gorgeous and fresh aspect to the party. Local flowers including ranunculus and tulips brighten up the winter evening well, plus a few crafting stations with finished projects laid out make for an inviting table that would beckon even your most uncreative friend to join you at.

Aw, thank you Rayan. I appreciate that. And Lena, I am glad you like the flowers. They are my favorites (tulips and ranunculus).

AMAZING! This one must win!
Very pretty and fresh feeling – nice!
the ranunculus are so simple and beautiful, love the mix of natural, clear and white vases. soap carving was a great idea to incorporate the theme! i definitely want this design to win.
Oh wow. Soap as art? Srsly, this idea is genius! And I totally love the flowers in beakers. I just might have to make my own soap art! Thanks for sharing, Brittni.
Run on
Love this party! It is beautiful!
Definitely Stylist #2 (Brittni) should win. This design is incredibly fresh and elegant. I love the mix of old beakers, birch. They look great gently nestled in the folds of the scarf, along with the soap carvings. That is ingenious. Brittni’s design, including her choice of flowers/colors allows other elements in the room to be noticed without being overwhelmed. Great design!

how beautiful is this? very fresh indeed!
I love the quiet warmth of the room with the pop of color from the flowers. Also a huge fan of the guitar on the wall as functional art. I’ve been trying to convince my boyfriend to let me hang some of his on the wall in the living room for a year now.
I meant to add that I’ve wanted to host a small craft party, and this is inspiring!
I love all your projects! hope you win. Maeve
I would love Brittni’s design to win! When I was little, I used to carve up bars of soap for fun (Mom never like that…), but I never made an art of it! Her table scape is beautiful and fitting as well
Good luck Brittni!
I would love for this design to win! :]
Love this!! Also – just adore ranunculus.
love the simplicity and how she really used the theme – gorgeous flowers and setting.
So cute, this needs to win!
I vote for Brittni’s lovely work.
Love it!

I love this design! This definitely should win! Go Team Brittini!
I vote for Brittni!
The flowers are gorgeous and the birch bark with the beakers looks genius!
Love this Design!
So pretty! Love the simplicity and lovely old-fashioned (in a good way) quality of this. This is the party I’d want to attend!
“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience”. This quotation sprung to my mind looking at this fab project! Gorgeous! Spring is here!! Thank you!!!
You have amazing talent! I love your style and ability to put things together.
Such a refreshing and happy palette! This is truly lovely – I can close my eyes and smell newly cut lawn and hear lazy bees – this is wonderful!
oh my goodness… so so cute! my lady friends and i have actually been doing some craft party nights this winter and they’re so much fun! i love the idea of a pretty scarf instead of a table runner. it’s something almost everyone owns and it’s so much prettier. this gets my vote without a doubt!
I love the simplicity and the flowers are beautiful pops of color. I love that she incorporated traditional vases with the tree vases; it makes it fresh and elegant.
Intimate and beautiful, I love it
Wow. Thanks everyone for the love. Feeling very special right about now.

I am totally voting for this one! I love the idea of having a winter craft party and I really love those vases.
Oh, I’d *love* Brittni to win! She is so talented and yet also so generous with sharing tutorials with her readers. She’s a legend! J x
Wow, thats just gorgeous. And something I could TOTALLY see myself doing. I love it.
So deliciously cute. Definitely a great tutorial to make gifts with! x
Definetly! I vote for this website! Love It!
So easy on the eye and yet interesting with all the different heights of vases & flowers – immediately makes you want to pull up a chair and get crafting.
This is gorgeous!
I loooove the birch bark vases!
I can smell the clean through the computer. This gets my vote!
I love it, the flowers are just stunning though so simple. I think I could even manage to pull this off!
Beautiful, fresh, and inspiring! I love it!
Oooh very cute. This one should definately win!
What a lovely idea! Great smell with good looks
I love the vases made of birch! It does get my vote
This looks like a blast and gets my vote! I remember soap carving projects from when I was little and it was great fun. Small tulle drawstring bags would be great favors – fill with leftover slivers of soap to take home and use.
