Hi, Ellen here with some fun things for an outdoor dinner! This time of the year with ice-cream, summer dresses, and warm yellow sunshine all screams for picnics in the park!
I’m in a good mood when I see bright and cheery colors. That’s why made a picnic set with the Electro Pop line.
I made a bag for cutlery, upcycled a drink bottle, and decorated a container full with tasty cookies. For these Items, I always used a mouse (made of flock) and iridescent letters. Also, some glitter gel was used.
Drink bottle
I will explain how I made the drink bottle. The other items are basically made the same way. Later in this post, I will tell you in-depth all items used on all other projects. So let’s get started.
Flock gives a velvety texture on your projects. First I did cut out a piece of ‘Deco Foil Flock Transfer Sheets’ in the desired colors and length. Then I cut a design out of ‘Adhesive Foam’ (all the pieces for the mouse). I Removed the frond liner from the ‘Adhesive Foam’ and laid it on the colored side of the flock. Next, I did run it through a die-cutting machine. As the last step, I did peel the foam from the flock. To give dimension I did add distress ink to a few pieces (not shown on the picture).

- Adhesive Foam, Orange Glow, Hello Yellow, Tuscan Gold, Sunshine Yellow, White Latte, and Pink Carnation Flock Transfer Sheets.
Some elements got a different texture. For these, I used the ‘Neon Electro Pop Enamel’ and foil. The Enamel may also be applied to ‘Adhesive Foam’ like the flock. The foil is applied differently. You have to cut a piece of foil slightly larger than the desired shape. Place the foil colored side up, on top of the shape. Place it inside a piece of folded parchment paper. Push it true a hot laminator. Did you know ThermOWeb has a document for laminator settings? Click here to see it, maybe it helps you out.

- Screamin’ Green Neon Enamel Transfer Sheet;
- Deco Foil Toner Sheet;
- Iridescent Deco Foil Transfer Sheet.
Of course, this project needed some extra sparkle. I did use Glitz Glitter Gel and a stencil to get the extra shine. The stencil pal helped me to apply the gel smoothly. Can you see the glitter on top of the flock? I really love that texture!

I did use the iridescent foil for all the letters.

To complete the bottle I did put a pink straw, with a self-made bow around, in it. Isn’t this perfect for the bottle?
Bag and cutlery
And we need some tools for the picnic; Cutlery.
Another fun object to add glitter gel is cutlery. I gave the spoon, fork, and knife a different color.
Can you also see the pattern on the mat? You can obtain this by stamping on your flock.

- Adhesive Foam;
- White latte, Tuscan Gold, Pink Carnation, Hellow Yellow, Poppin’ Pink Flock Transfer Sheets;

- Hellow Yellow, Orange Glow, Poppin’ Pink, and Screamin’ Green Glitz Glitter Gel.
Cookie Container
The last item I wanted to add to my picnic basket was a little box for cookies.
I didn’t only decorate the lid of the box, but I also attached a tag. The text on the tag was stamped with a stamp from the ‘Sending Sunshine’ stamp set and glitter embossing powder.
Product details:
- Adhesive Foam;
- White latte, Pink Carnation, and Hellow Yellow Flock Transfer Sheets;
- Deco Foil Toner Sheet;
- Iridescent, Aqua & Black Deco Foil Transfer Sheet;

So for those who are currently blessed with beautiful weather and thinking of enjoying a little picnic or two, I’m hoping these craft ideas will come handy. Happy Picnicing!
