Crafting Made Easy

I am impressed now more than ever with my mom and others who were craft masters before blogging. It is so easy today. Now if I have an idea of something, I just google it and there are at least ten different tutorials on exactly what I want to do. So here are some shots of the ideas I copied this week.

Crayon Roll-up Carrier

Tutorial found here

I made one for Benson's Easter basket and one for my neice and nephew for their upcoming birthdays.

It really was super easy and doesn't take much fabric at all, so I can use pieces I already have...which I love.

Fabric covered bulletin boards

Tutorial found here

I made these for the kids "new" room. Again, using leftover fabric and not much time.

The tutorial said to use a staple gun. I started with that, but found the glue gun to be better.

A pot full of flowers

There was no google search for this one- just an idea in my head.

Benson helped me bake flower sugar cookies with sticks in them.

We then colored styrofoam for the grass but later just put green frosting over it. (:

And then delivered them to friends.

New twist on my classic

I loved this yellow gingham fabric I found on clearance and wanted to do something different for Reagan's dresses than what I usually do, so I added this little lace and the ribbon ties.

I don't like the ribbon ties too much. Maybe I will once I try it on her....or I will probably take them off and just add regular sleeves. I do love the little trim....even if it is pretty Southern belle country.
