As the weather finally, sloooooowwwwwlllly starts heading towards autumn (we had a lovely 65 degree day Sunday, but we are back up to 80 today...sigh) I've been giving a lot of thought to fall decorating & prepping for gift giving. I'm heading over to the craft store this afternoon to pick up a few supplies for projects that will be featured on Tuesdays to come, but for now, here are a few links for potential present-projects!
1. Cement coasters? Yes please. I intend to experiment with adding dyes to the cement & maybe even embedding odd little wonderments into the cement....hmmm....the possibilities are endless mwahahahaha.
2. A chalkboard necklace-- love this idea as a stocking stuffer or party favor & its so easy!
3. Stuffed. Fabric. Turtles. Enough said~*

4. Etched serving tray. This one is a bit more complex, but still totally doable. They use a map to etch, but I'm thinking of a simpler design-- or maybe using a vintage fabric as a pattern (like one of those geometric prints from the 60's)? Hmmmm....

5. Lets not forget the pets! Poosh, Alice, Doc & Rascal {the doggies} could really use these adorable tags...plus its an excuse to use Shrinky Dinks. I love Shrinky Dinks...

I have a thing for coasters, and trying new DIYs for them...those cement coasters are seriously cool. And I have to agree, I love doing handmade items for the holidays :)
ReplyDeleteLove that necklace! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteVery cool ideas. I love the idea of embedding strange little things in the coasters!
ReplyDeleteFun ideas, and welcome back! I'm not the craftiest of gals but I did go get supplies to try to fashion a Halloween costume for W so that's somewhat crafty! Looking forward to seeing which projects you tackle :)
