Christmas Crafting has begun!!

Well I have started my Christmas crafting thanks in part to pinterest! (WARNING: It’s ADDICTIVE!!!) Now, that I have done my PSA for today I continue with my newest project!

This is for my sister-in-law and I have Bromeliad Living to thank for it!

So CUTE!!!  And when I figured it up with the earrings it was only about $5.25!!!  Now that’s a green Christmas! And I have more supplies to make a lot more =)

Here are a few other shots of the necklace….if you can handle my amateur photography.

I used a wire gauze ribbon for these flowers and was pleasantly surprised how they turned out.  I did have to use a little more glue to hold them together but other than that I love the end result!

So until next time….

Happy Crafting!!

I’ve been a busy bee!

So if you haven’t heard of Pinterest I will warn you…… IT IS ADDICITIVE!  It’s like a virtual corkboard.  People pin things they like to their boards and then you can re-pin them to yours.  It’s like a sea of wonderful ideas organized!  So needless to say, I have been pinning like a crazy fiend!

I have come across some crazy beautiful ideas.  My goal this year is to make most of my presents for friends and family.  I have a lot of younger girls on my list so I decided to make some flower type hair decor.

I have seen these Yo-Yo flowers EVERYWHERE and they are adorable.  I actually bought a yo-yo maker at Hobby Lobby and it’s SUPER EASY! Plus they come out so cute.  I made a couple of Halloween ones and ones for Christmas gifts.

I also tried my hand at ribbon rosettes.  There are a ton of tutorials out there.  I particularly like the ones from Little Birdie Secrets. She makes some beautiful ones.  I am going to do some with beads on them next.  GORGEOUS!!!!

And finally I did some felt flowers using a tutorial from Mrs. Priss. Mine didn’t turn out as well as hers, but I like them nonetheless!

So as you can see you can find a gazillion things to craft your little heart out!  Now I need some ideas for the guys!  Why are they always the hardest ones to make something for???

Until next time,

Happy Scrapping and Crafting!
