Delta Zeta-Handpainted Little Sister Gifts

All of these items in the picture are easy to make. The turtles are very simply painted, but the effect is pleasing. Delta Zeta sisters that like to make their own sorority gifts will see that these gift items would be fairly easy to make. Get some acrylic paints or paint pens and see what you can do.

Try painting mini turtles on foam star stickers. OR

Use pink scrapbooking paper to cover a nut or coffee can. Then decorated with a turtle cut from paper. OR

Make your on DZ turtle gift bags from simple white lunch bags. Punch holes at the top of the bag to thread ribbon through and finish by tying the ribbon into a bow.

If you try any of my ideas, I would love for you to attach a picture of your creation to an email for me ( see sidebar for my email link)

Relax.....turtles are fun to paint. You will love it!!

Beautiful Phi Mu Creed

The Phi Mu Creed

To lend to those less fortunate a helping hand. To think of God as a protector and guide of us all. To keep forever sacred the memory of those we have loved and lost. To be to others what we would they would be to us. To keep our lives gentle, merciful and just, Thus being true to the womanhood of love.

To walk in the way of honor, guarding the purity of our thoughts and deeds. Being steadfast in every duty small or large. Believing that our given word is binding. Striving to esteem the inner man above culture, wealth or pedigree. Being honorable, courteous, tender, Thus being true to the womanhood of honor.

To serve in the light of truth avoiding egotism, narrowness, and scorn. To give freely of our sympathies. To reverence God as our Maker, striving to serve Him in all things. To minister to the needy and unfortunate. To practice day by day love, honor, truth. Thus keeping true to the meaning, spirit and reality of Phi Mu.

Handmade Sorority Pillow with Ribbon Letters

a
Most letters are easy to form with ribbon. Make a unique handmade gift for your little sister or your big sister. You will need:

2 yards of ribbon in your sorority color
Stitch witchery- an iron-on bonding material (available from fabric departments & stores)
2 fabric squares (10" X 10" is a good size)
Fiberfil Stuffing

Free Shipping @ Joann.com! ($35 order minimum) Use promo code JANFSA835

• 1. Form your letters with the ribbon. Fold or cut the ribbon to get the right shapes and turns. Just work at it until you like it.
• 2. Cut out stitch witchery to fit behind the ribbon letters.
• 3. Position the letters (with the stitch witchery underneath) in the center of one of your fabric squares.
• 4. Set the iron on wool (medium heat). Place a piece of paper on top of your design. Iron the letters (through the paper) about 30 seconds. Let the the fabric cool before peeling the paper off. Check the letters to make sure they are securely bonded to the pillow fabric. You may need to repeat the ironing process. If the stitch witchery doesn't cover every spot, that's OK. Just so most of it is bonded.
• 5. To construct your pillow, pin right sides together. Sew around the square leaving an opening for turning the pillow right side out.
• 6. After turning right side out, stuff the pillow with fiberfil. Close pillow opening with a whip stitch.

There!! A Unique Handmade gift for your Chi Omega little sister or your big sister.

Making gifts is so much more fun than buying!
