Frames

I have a ton of scrapbook paper and I didnt know what to do with it because I pretty much gave up scrap booking (how many books does one person need?!). So I found this. At $1.00 a pop how could a go wrong! So I picked up 2 from Michaels and got to work. I also used some $0.99 stickers left over from the topiary project (Here), and I made more flowers from left over fabric from the magnetic board project (here).

Finished Project:



One of these is going to go to my b/f's little sister for Christmas. The other is just another misfit craft. lol 

Tie Wreath

So I was once again searching for crafts and found this: It's the  Second Picture. I knew I had ties sitting around from another failed project (I wanted to make a skirt, but lack of sewing skills totally killed that idea.) so I found a wreath frame for $1.00 at the thirft store and got to work.

The directions say to sew, but i used a glue gun for the entire thing.




Another project that came out awesome, and nothing to do with it. Oh well, it gave me something to do for an hour!

More Topiarys

So after the spring topiary I was kind of hooked. This time though, I wanted something a little smaller. I was going to create the flowers again, but I found some for super cheap at Michaels. I also put fragrance oil  under the flowers to give it a nice vanilla scent. Everything else, was purchased at the dollar store. These will be gifts for the teacher I aide for, and the student teacher in the room.
hard to tell, but the bowls are heart shaped!


isn't that bow adorable?!



I don't know what they will do with these, but they are so freakin cute! Aren't homemade gifts the best!
