So, last night my friend and I embarked on an adventure to the bookstore for some crafting inspiration! I found soooo many cools things that I want to do or at least try to do this week! The stuff I found was just so awesome that I couldn't pass up sharing it with you guys! Let me know if you make anything on my countdown... I'd love to see it! :)
Beaded Candle Holder- This would be so cheap and easy to make! Personally, I think some pearls wrapped around this would look gorgeous.
Book Flower Frame- I plan on making this craft this week! It is TOO CUTE. Love this idea. Plus, it would be really simple to make.
Wire Crafts- Sommer and I attempted this last night. We made little flowers. It looks harder than it is for sure. We got some 19 gauge wire, and I think if we would have got a smaller gauge it would have went a lot smoother. However, these designs look simpler, so it shouldn't be too difficult to bend and twist!
Stenciled Plates- I love painting plates! This is simple, but so cute!
Recycled Magazine Trash Bin
Homemade Stationary- I actually folded some paper and glued it with a glue stick this morning to make some super cute envelopes. I got the idea out of a book. They are really easy and fun to personalize!
Last, I stumbled upon this book that I MUST HAVE ASAP. It was like 25 dollars in the store, BUT I came home and did a little google search. I found out Amazon has them for like right under 10. Perfect! My copy is on the way... and I have BIG plans for this book. It's like 365 days of "challenges."
I love the look of those plates and the bin
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see this. It will so much fun to make all of these!
