Madeline Rose Wreath

A version of the Christmas wreath I did last year--I'll add that one to this blog a little closer to Christmas--this one is themed for the arrival of baby girl, Madeline Rose. I'm not going to go too in depth on how I made this--again, I'll save that for the Christmas wreath I'll add later. But some of the supplies I used were a wreath form, ribbon, an award pin, large/3D stickers, wooden lettes, favor boxes, paint, pipe cleaners, and hot glue.

For more pictures of this project--and a little bit more on how these items were used--please visit its posting on cutoutandkeep.net here!

Next project from me will be my "Afraid of Rats" pumpkin.

Ear Bud Earrings

This craft was inspired by one I found on cutoutandkeep.net. The original can be found here. For my version, you will need a pair of old earbuds that you don't want anymore, scissors, xacto knife, two hook earrings, and hot glue. I started by cutting the buds off, leaving a little of the excess wire on them. Using the xacto knife, I carefully--and I can't emphasize enough how carefully--opened up some of the white casing, exposing the copper wire underneath. Once I had a suitible length of wire exposed, I cut off the slit casing. I then threaded the wire of one earbud through the opening at the bottom of one of the hook earrings. I pulled the wire through and down, twisting it around the otherside. I then secured it in place with a dab of hot glue. I did the same for the other bud.

Comments are appreciated!

Summer Time Crafts

I know that we've only got about a month of summer left here,but I just thought I'd open the floor... anyone got any good suggestions for summer time crafts?

I've been a little strapped for cash, but a craft I've been longing to try my hand at is making a windchime out of Ramune--the Japanese soda--bottles.

So, what does everyone think? Let me hear your ideas! And if anyone's done any summer time crafts they'd like to post on here, let me know!


PS- I've still got a couple of crafts I have pictures of that I need to post. So, more to come!

Another Craft Wars Update

Hi from the Hostess here!


So sorry that none of us have been here in a while. Sadly, I had some issues occur in my life where I have effectively lost most--if not all--my crafting supplies. But don't worry. I am ever working towards gaining them back. Also, I have some pictures of some crafts I did some time ago that I'll be posting here in a few days along with some how tos. Also, I plan to re-design the look of this blog. Much to stay tuned for!

Thanks!

Craft Wars Update

Sorry that I haven't been here in forever. I'm still doing crafts, and you'll be seeing a lot more of them in the coming months. I took a hiatus in doing crafts due to money concerns, but upcoming events dictate that I shall make a return.

I have a few little crafts that I've done that I'll post here over the course of a couple days. Also, I want to take this time to mention a rather handy website called cutoutandkeep.net. It's a great place to showcase crafts as well, find how-tos, and everything. I have an account there under the name Patricia P. And Ariyana has an account there under the name Slinky. Find us and and friend us!

Until next time, happy crafting!!

Let It Begin

I'm a crafty person. I love to do crafts. I intend to teach myself to sew. And I want to share my crafts with everyone. I give them as gifts. I do them as decor. When I learn to sew, I'll wear them. I do them as decor. Crafts of all sorts I mean to make my forte. And I know I'm not the only one. So, if this sounds like your type of thing, here it is.

This is the place to showcase each and every art and craft you could possible want to. And, better yet, share with people your genius by telling them how you did it. You could have come up with them on your own. Or maybe you got it from books like those pictured. Or maybe off a website. Anyway you do it, show it off here!

Have fun, and Happy Crafting!!
