We
try to spend 4-6 craft-filled days together each month and we call them our “Crafty
Weekends”. We’re always sure to take
lots of pictures of what we make and of course I will be sharing them with you!
Since
we’re hoping to get-together this upcoming weekend, I thought I’d post some photos
of our projects from September’s “Crafty Weekend”.
Felt
Hedgehog Appliqués
Brook's Lisa's
These
little guys are simply adorable!! Brook
had found the tutorial online and we just made our own patterns. You can see that we each did ours a little
differently.
Shrinky-Dink
Buttons
Yes, these are buttons made from children's Shrinky-Dink plastic!! This project was a blast!! I’ll definitely be posting a tutorial on how to make them in the future!
That
big one in Brook’s photo is actually a pendant made from a plastic take-out
container that was heated in the oven. How cool!!
Mini-Mushroom
Pincushions
Brook's Lisa's
These
pincushions are only about 2” tall and have a loop on them so you could attach
it to a necklace if need-be. I’m hoping
to have Brook guest post this tutorial sometime soon!
Hand-bound Books
I’d
never bound my book before and I’m ever so grateful to Brook for teaching me
how to do it!! I’ll be making MANY more
books in the future!!
Altered Birdhouses
Brook's Lisa's
This
was by far my favorite project of the weekend!!
There are so many different ways you could “alter” these little $1 wooden
birdhouses and I can’t wait to make more of them! You can really see the variety of designs you
can come up with just by looking at the two ways we decorated ours!
Hopefully Brook and I will be able to get together this weekend and then there will me more fun
photos to show you next week!!
Thanks
for reading!! Until next time…
