Wine Glass Charms!




These are so much fun to make.  I got all the supplies at Hobby Lobby!  Let your imagination run wild.  They have so many charms to choose from and they are on sale every other week for 50% off.  These make awesome gifts for family and friends!

More Diaper Cakes

Making Diaper Cakes might be one of my favorite things to craft.  They make great gifts for Mommies-to-be!

Here are some of my favorites:









Ruffle Bum Onesie





I made this for my niece for the Fourth of July.  Such an easy (and cheap) way to liven up a plain onesie! You don't have to be a great sewer to get this done (I'm not).  Happy ruffling!

Hair Bow Holder Galore!









Hair bow holders make cute presents!  You can decorate them to match anything.  
Step One: Pick out scrapbook paper that you want to use for your letter (I got the letters from Hobby Lobby for about $1 each).  Place paper face down on table. Place letter face down on paper.  Trace edges.  Cut out letter from paper. (May need an exacto knife for the inside part of the A). 
Step Two: Paint outside edges of cardboard letter to match scrapbook paper.  
Step Three: Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge using a foam brush
Step Four: Place cut-out letter from scrapbook paper on top of cardboard letter.  Smooth out any bubbles. Let Dry.
Step Five: Apply thin layer of Mod Podge over scrapbook paper to seal.  Let dry.  Apply another coat.
Step Six: Cut ribbon in long strands to hang from the bottom of the letter.  Make bows and place on ends. 
Done!

**The first two are actually made from the old fashioned way of using glue and glitter.  Was a big mess, but they turned out cute!

Happy Birthday To You....

I got the idea from a friend at work to make a first birthday hat. The cone of the hat is actually a really cool wine bag that I got on discount at Walmart. The bag had lace over it. I actually made two hats out of one bag. This is probably my favorite craft I've made.

Getting crafty with Valentine's Day

It's not the easiest to walk into a store and find your man something for Valentine's Day that isn't cheesy and typical. So, this Vday I decided to get crafty. I made my man an "I love you because" blow pop flower bouquet. It's so easy to make, it's cheap, but it shows how much you care for your valentine. Each leaf has a different reason written on it explaining the reasons why I love him. This idea is so cute that I might adapt it for different holidays. I also made a homemade card, LOVE it! What do you think???







I used ten lollipops to create this and it was the perfect amount. I got the little tin from Walmart for $1.50, picked up the styrofoam green thing for about $1.00, four 12x12 sheets of paper and some scrap ribbon! Very cheap but awesome! Oh yeah, and the blow pops, of course!
