Handprint Pot Holders

Hi! Crafters!

While going through the book and items I scan into my computer I came across the project for children to make; so, I thought I would share this project. It came from “From kids With Love”. In addition, one can get a plain pot holder from the Dollar store for this project, too.

Share your ideas on this or anything here on the blog either here or e-mail me at sandi_tipple@yahoo.com.  I look forward to hearing from you!

Another Dollar/ thrift store Project

Hi! Crafters!

I tried on my last blog post to put two projects but it blocked me. I am trying to put the first one I wanted to share; so, we will see if this works.  It is another Christmas project.

NOTE:  You might want to go to the Remanent section of the sewing section of your local fabric store if you dollar store doesn’t have what you like.

Refashioned Dollar Store Xmas Tree Skirt

Materials: Fabric glue, fabric, ribbon. Scissors

Directions:

Cut your strips to the desired length you want the strands. Thicker strands = less of step 2.

Start at the bottom on one end and gather it and glue. Gather and glue until you get to the other end. Start again on the other end and keep doing this until you cover it up until you get to the top.

At the very top use ribbons.

Dollar/Thrift Store Craft Finds for the Holidays

Hi! Crafter!

I wrote this previous to the time I got sick so it is a different style than now. I figure since Christmas in next month I share these ideas.

Incredibly Cute Upcycled Sock Wreath

Materials: old socks, wooden cut out Merry Christmas signs, 2 embroidery hoops 12” and 8”, craft foam core board,  X-Acto knife, E6000 glue, Grey and Red Felt,  Yarn

Directions:

Two embroidery hoops, one 12″ and one 8″ one and traced both of them onto a craft foam core board to create a wreath form and then used my X-Acto knife to cut out the wreath form.

Fit the form into the two embroidery hoops.  See below:

Get the socks and trimmed them to fit around the wreath form and use glue gun to glue them to the form.

Add some felt and wrapped some yarn. 

Use E6000 glue to glue a small wooden house and the Merry Christmas sign to the sides.

Glue a wooden dowel from side to side in the smaller embroidery hoop and glued the sign and house on top of the dowel.

Hang wreath!
