I wanted to share some of my recent crafts. I am not sure if I showed you the Easter egg wreath or not. You simply run floral wire through the holes in the ends of the eggs and snapped them closed. Twist the remaining wire into a 'hanger' at the top. Made a double bow (for the first time thanks to You Tube) and then tied some skinny ribbon between every three eggs. I am very happy with it.
I had a little chalk board in the kitchen that I rarely used. I wanted one for my craft room to list craft projects on so I don't forget what I'm working on. But I didn't like the way it looked. It was so bland.
So I painted it and steampunked it up a little bit. Added a piece of lace with a gear for a button. And easy peasy I have a cute little chalk board.
Do you remember at Christmas I made button Christmas trees? Well, I got some new wooden buttons with medallion designs on them. And I got a bunch of random buttons from a friend who is in my Gifting Women group on FB. So I decided to make one of the little trees with the new buttons.
Instead of calling it a Christmas tree, I am calling it a Tree of Hope. I will making some more this upcoming week and will be gifting them to some special ladies in my life. It will serve as an inspiration that when life gets us down and we stress over things we can't change, there is always a hope we can cling to, and faith to hold onto.
I love to make things with plastic canvas. I had bought this new yarn and decide to try a new pattern I had been thinking about for a box.
The box is the perfect size for playing cards. I am loving the way it turned out.
Would love to hear what you are doing in your free time during quarantine.
