Custom Hershey Bar Wrappers

With my seniors graduating, I wanted to make them something special. So, I created a template in Publisher and made custom wrappers for a Hershey bar. They were a huge success!!

Fabric Covered Bobby Pins

These are so easy to make! I think it took me about 5 minutes to make 6 of them!! All you need is a button cover kit, wire snips, fabric scraps, bobby pins and hot glue!
First, Cut your circle (or roundish shape) larger than your button

Place fabric and button top in neat little kit invented to make our lives simple.

Place the back on to the button.

Snip the wire off the back.

Add a little dab of hot glue and insert your bobby pin.

And there you go, beautiful fabric covered bobby pins!!
Like above, it doesn't matter what size button you use :)

Dragonfly Tie Wristlet

Neck ties are all over thrift stores in tons of designs and colors. Luckily they are ridiculously cheap. ($0.50-$1.00 here) Floating on Pinterest is a tie wristlet everyone seems to be crazy about, however there is no tutorial. So of course I had to try it! It's really easy! Unfortunately, I was learning as I went so I did not take pictures. When I do the next one I will be sure to create a tutorial!

Starburst or Candy Wrapper Bracelet

This is a fun thing to do with those little wrapper you pull off those little things that satisfy your sweet tooth! I was making one for my daughter and someone asked for a tutorial. Since I don't make enough of them to do a tutorial, I borrowed one I found by using Google. So here is the link! Enjoy your easy, fun crafting!

T-Shirt Scarf

What better to do on an exam make-up day than make a free t-shirt scarf? Because I have a all female class (with the exception of one guy..bless him) this idea was perfect. So the students brought in an old tee and we went to work! They swapped color strips and came up with some great scarfs! Best thing, NO SEWING!! Modeling their scarf in the picture is the beautiful Kailyn!

Fun with canvas

Feeling artistic (and having a coupon helped), I decided to try out some canvas art! Nothing Picasso or anything. I took a verse from one of my favorite songs (I also happen to be a Wizard of Oz addict), created an SVG file with it and cut it out in vinyl! I painted the white canvas cream (so as to match my living room), added the vinyl and voila! A one of a kind canvas picture!
