Spring Colors!
Pin It Now!
I had a wonderful crafting day yesterday. I love crafting in the rainy/sunny/hailing spring weather. It gives me a cozy feeling.
Well, I am working on what I am usually up to -- light switch plates and zipper pull earrings -- but I have some fabulous new spring colors that I will take into SCRAP next week so be on the lookout~

Decorated Light Switch Covers Revisited
Pin It Now!
This is one of my go-to craft projects, partly because I sell them at SCRAP's ReBoutique. Recently I was in SCRAP and they were selling baggies full of origami paper. The papers were really pretty and I thought it would definitely add some design to the boring white light switch plates. I was right and now I need to get back to SCRAP and see if they have more of that paper...too cool.

Repurposed Tea Cups
Pin It Now!
A few years ago I received an aloe farm as a gift. I am kidding. I received one aloe plant that had sent up about 20 shoots over the past two years, but I totally love it. It has made me come up with some unique planter ideas.
Here are a few examples:
My favorite is the tea kettle. I found it at a thrift store. It was missing the lid and I knew instantly what to use it for.

Refrigerator Monster!
Pin It Now!
My partner, Brandon, has been wrapping the organic veggie labels around our fridge door handle since we moved in three and a half years ago and it has grown to such a degree that people always comment on it whenever they are over. The funny thing is that I don't even really notice it until people comment and then I think, yeah, that is crazy.
He and his prior roommate wrapped them around the kitchen island legs and so I think it's just something he's been doing for a while now. I haven't really come up with a good use for the veggie labels and it's really a lot of waste considering we always buy organic. I will have to be on the lookout for a project since it's getting harder and harder to keep them on the door handle.

DIY Bedazzled Phone Cover
Pin It Now!
I was at work on Thursday, and this student pulls out her phone and I immediately said, wow, that is so cool! I certainly had to take a picture. She had covered her phone in rhinestones and jewelry and it looks fabulous.
I was able to give her a bit of crafting advice on the matter, as well. It turns out she had never heard of E6000, which a crafting must have, especially if you specialize in gluing stuff to stuff, which I am a pro at. She had used Tacky Glue and it items were starting to fall off, but that's okay because crafting is a learning process.
I hope this inspires you to add a little flare to your life wherever that may be and to just go for it!

Glittered Album Covers DIY
Pin It Now!
I saw this amazing woman crafter/artist in Chicago about three years ago at a holiday craft fair selling glittered album covers and I was blown away. I love glitter so much that when using it, I always say -- more glitter, please -- in the style and accent of Oliver Twist. Anyway, I instantly wanted to do this project. Well, three years later I have finally done it.
The superbowl was yesterday and I was interested in checking out the Seahawks, but I needed some craft projects to enhance the experience. I wanted to do something I had never done before and voila:
All you need is an album, some Mod Podge, a paint brush and a lot of glitter and you've done it.
