Soda Cap Bracelets

I love to recycle!!! And this project is cute and good for the earth (not really, but it is still cheep to make). A.K.A. perfect for me to make! WARNING: the pictures are kind of blurry (sorry). Anyway I hope you like it:)!!

So you start out by getting your materials.

*Two Pieces of ribbon or some sort of thing to thread the soda caps into (I used ribbon and a strip of tulle)about 15-20 inches long for a child's/small adult wrist(6-7 inch wrist)

*About 21 soda caps (you will want to bent the back of them so they do not scratch your wrist)

All you do is you thread the ribbon (or whatever you chose to use) into your soda caps and leave about 5-6 inches of room to tie it on to your wrist (remember this is child size). You can also tape the first soda cap to the ribbon to help it stay in place.

 

And there you go another piece of jewelery to show off:)

How To Make A Thing 1 Costume

I love Dr. Seuss! Anyone who loves Dr. Seuss should DEFINITELY be Thing 1. Here it goes, my "crafty" version of Thing 1(I tried to make it quick and easy).

So from top to bottom

*the "wig" - it is blue curling ribbon (8 or 9 strips about a foot or two long) stapled first then curled and clipped into the persons hair with a clip or you could just go and get a real wig

*the sweat shirt - an ordinary jacket, sweat shirt, or shirt with a piece of white material that says Thing 1

*the gloves - I had old white gloves I could use that were store bought

*the tutu - my very favorite go to http://www.momdot.com/howtomakeatutu then just wear leggings under the tutu and wear matching boots or shoes

and there you go a cute costume:)

Why I chose to make a blog

I love to create stuff. I like almost every craft I make and I make every craft I like again (unless I forget how to make it:(). I always forget about a lot of my creations that I am in the middle of (giggle giggle). But I still remember some and those are the most interesting and short ones. I am not really a sewer so don't expect many sewing projects(maybe maybe 1). I have a ton of yarn though so mostly yarn projects! And that is why I have a blog:)

how to make a tassel

Here is a picture of a tassel

first you cut 1 piece of cardboard

(depending on how big you want the tassel)

Then you wrap the yarn around the cardboard

(depending on how thick you want it)

Then you take the yarn of the cardbourd

and you tie yarn about centimeter or so from the top of the yarn

and tie a loop at the top

and you cut the bottom of the yarn

and there you go a tassel!:)

crocheting a flower clip

Here is a pretty picture of a pretty flower clip!

(I don't know abbreviations for crocheting very well so I won't do them)

first you do a magic circle

Then you do a series of single crochets

and occasionally do a chain to make it more flat

(every 1 or 2 stitches)

then you end it at your desired size

Then you hot glue a jewel in the middle

and an alligator clip on the bottom of the flower

and there you go a pretty flower!:)
