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.

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

• 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!

How To Make a Delta Zeta Sorority Picture Frame

Delta Zeta Picture Frame

Make the perfect frame for a cherished photograph. I think that the easiest frame to decorate is one that is painted solid white. You only have to paint your chosen design on a white frame to make it very special. There are any number of ways that you can decorate a frame. Your imagination is your only limit. This frame was very easy to complete. I used acrylic paint and a quality paintbrush.

1. I started by painting the green and pink border lines around the entire frame. These lines follow the molding of the frame.
2. Then I painted the sorority's name also in pink and green adding little hearts on the ends.
3. Finally, I used the plastic end of my paintbrush to paint the dots.
4. The picture doesn't show it, but the frame hangs by a lovely pink ribbon. This is easy to add with a glue gun. It makes the frame look lovely.

I would love to see other ideas for picture frames. If you have painted a sorority frame, please send in a picture for this blog. My email link is in the sidebar.

Phi Mu Lion with Special Necklace

Here is an easy way to make a stuffed animal such as this lion into a very special representative of your sorority, in this case, Phi Mu. Make a necklace with a ribbon chain and a charm from a foam star.
Simply
1. paint your Greek letters on the foam star
2. punch a hole with a regular hole puncher
3. thread the ribbon through the hole
4. Tie necklace round the neck
5. Add a pretty pink ribbon bow
Now look what you have made! So easy....

And by the way, other foam shapes will work well, too. A heart would be beautiful.
Check out these:
Teddy Bears for Kappa Delta
Turtles for Delta Zeta
Pandas for AOII
Lions for ADII, too.
Owls for Chi O (though stuffed owls are hard to come by) I plan to create a pattern for making a stuffed animal OWL very soon.

Also,
Dolphins
Frogs
Poodles
Unicorns
Ladybugs
Hannah Dolls
Penguins

Please send me a picture if you use this idea. I would love to see your results. (email link in sidebar)
