I Finally Made an Alpha Sigma Tau Pillow

I recently got an Alpha Sigma Tau kit from DIYGreek and I finally got started on a hand painted sorority pillow using the yellow and green polka dot ribbon from the Greek Kit. The design combined the flower (which is a yellow rose) and the anchor symbol for this popular "lives here" type pillow.

Loving Anchors and Yellow Roses!

  This is how the Alpha Sigma Tau Pillow turned out.

This type of pillow is ordered custom made on Etsy Sorority Gifts.

If you haven't yet gotten a kit from DIYGreek.com, you must hurry up and order one. I couldn't believe all the craft supplies that come in the kit!

Pretty Sorority Magnets!

Greek Gear has a new line of sorority magnets ready for gift giving.

The colors are like Easter eggs and the designs pop! There are flower-type circular designs with Greek Letter insignia in the center. Others focus on the mascot painted on a plain background. The last design is similar to polka dot flowers with the sorority name written (painted) out. All have delightful colors.
They come in a set of 3 and each measures approximately 1.25"

I love this new style!

These new sorority mascot designs may inspire some of you to paint your own. There are a variety of supplies at local craft departments or stores (my favorite is JoAnn's) that can help you turn out your own unique Greek magnets that will undoubtedly be one-of-a-kind. Hand made gifts are the BEST!

Delta Zeta Paddles

Delta Zeta Paddles

Handmade Sorority Paddles --Delta Zeta

My "wood" guy made plain sorority paddles just like these. He delivered them to me in a cardboard box with the strong smell of saw dust, which always makes me think of good times. I can only associate the smell of wood and saw dust with painting special things for special people, since this painting hobby centers around wood, making something unique for a friend or sister.

I love this display of Delta Zeta paddles all lined up, ready to give to big sisters, after heartfelt effort has been put into individualizing each one for a special sister. That is the thing about paddles...They are a favorite sorority gift because they are so unique and personal.
