Wire Wrapped Jewelry

 

For last week's Craft Night, we used a simple technique to wire wrap earrings/pendants by hand. With a pre-formed hoop, some floral wire and beads, we were able to create a bunch of different styles.

DIY Packing Material

While staring into the huge pile of junk mail that collects by my apartment's mail boxes, I wondered why do I PAY for packing material?
With a little accordion folding and some scissors, I now have an endless supply.  

Someday, I will own a paper shredder and then I'll really be in business!

Pinwheels

I created a new kit today for creating these happy, stripey little pinwheels:

 After trying a million different color/patter/paper combinations, I fell in love with this one. One side's red and white stripes and the other is a page from a large print book. (Which just happens to be How to Make an American Quilt...which just happens to be one of my favorite movies. Don't judge me.)

The kit includes everything you need to make 6 paper pinwheels, including a detailed tutorial. And, once you're done with the kit--you'll be a pro and you can create your own custom designs!
