In A Crafty Mood

So I have been in a crafty mood lately....and boy have I found some nifty crafts!

I have actually started making these. They are necklace pendants made out of scrabble and/or domino pieces. Really easy and they turn out really pretty!

I'm also doing these. It's pretty much just painted rocks. But hey, they're pretty!

You could put them on a shelf or desk, put them in a bowl (you know, like you do for soap),

or give them away as gifts. I thought this was a wonderful brilliant idea, especially if a room needs some brightening up.

Just blow up a pretty picture of a cloudy sky about the size of a window.

There ya go, it's like a window that is always sunny!

Oh how I would love to give this a try.

Go to Walmart and buy a plain white pair of slip on shoes,

then get ya some puffy paint and knock yourself out!

FUN!

Ok, so just how whimsical is this bottle? It just screams Alice in Wonderland.

Here are some cute card designs I might try sometime...

maybe I could do one for my dad's birthday coming up.

And who doesn't like them some cute pillows?

Birds on a line...aaawwww!!!

This would make such a cute wedding gift wouldn't it?

I don't necessarily want to make this but, I thought it was just so stinkin creative.

Ha, so what do you all think? Are you in "the mood" yet? Which one is your favorite?

What do you love to make?

My Masterpieces! ;)

So here are some crafts that I have been working on. First off....why buy fancy decorated folders when you can decorate them just as cute yourself?

I had a spare piece of cardboard laying around....and I felt like doodling....so I made my own mouse pad!

You know those flower pin tutorials I put up the other day? Here is one I tried. It did not turn out very well at all. It may not look like a flower, but at least it is still wearable. :)

And since I am repainting/decorating my room....my old lightswitch plate does not match anymore. (it is bright tie dye) So I went and painted my own at a local pottery barn.

Well, that's what I've been doing. How bout you?

Creative Mood

I have been in a creative mood lately. So sometime today....I want to show you all of the crafty artsy fartsy things I have been working on. I shall post it as soon as school is done for today. What crafts have you all been working on? Got any cool paintings or drawings?

peace out!

Homemade Envelopes

You can probably find this craft pretty much anywhere, but I decided to use the directions from the Nov '07 BRIO magazine. Here goes! "Carefully open an envelope all the way, including the glued flaps. Lay it flat. If you want, glue it to a piece of cardboard and then cut around it to make a template. Trace the shape of the envelope/template onto pages from magazines, wrapping paper, newspapers, or whatever cool paper from the pile. Cut out the pattern, fold it and glue the bottom flaps. If the paper is dark, just stick a label on the front before writing someone's name or address on it." Viola! Now I just need to try it myself.....
