Cutting your own vinyl lettering and images is really easy with the Cricut but so many people don't try it because it looks a bit intimidating. I made a video to show you just how simple it is to do. On the video I am cutting out letters to put on a bucket I got from the Target $1 spot. Did you see the vinyl on the vase from yesterday? I'm sensing a theme. I wonder what else I can find from there to adhere my vinyl to? To cut vinyl with your Cricut, you'll need some supplies. Cr... more » -
When people ask me what products got me excited at CHA, I always mention the button and shape studio from Epiphany Crafts. It's difficult to tell what it does by looking at the contraption so I had them do a quick video demo on the product. I think you'll like it! ... more » -
My son has a lot of loose teeth and has already shed most of his front ones (top and bottom). He never really quite got the concept of the tooth fairy (he has autism) when he started losing his teeth at age 4. In fact, he lost most of his teeth at school and would throw them in the trash. When we were at the dentist yesterday, I asked them if they would just nudge the loosest one out. They presented it to me in a little treasure chest. "My" first tooth! My son now understands the t... more » -
This is my August Craft Challenge entry. I sent out all the purple tissue paper I had so I used yellow for mine. You also can't really see the details in this picture so I thought I'd give a step by step. My former resident of Mexico and Spanish teacher self loves pinatas. I've made them out of jarras (clay pots), cardboard, and balloons. Using a balloon is the best choice for a quick and easy pinata. Supplies: balloon newspaper papier mache paste (recipe below) tissue paper house... more » -

The guest blogger today is Nova, Glass Half Full Gal. We follow each other on twitter and have all sorts of crafty conversations! Nova's so crafty she did about 8 different crafts before settling on this one. Enjoy! I love to reuse and recycle. Though, where we live in the country a convenient recycling program. So, I'm bigger on reusing items. I think everyone can come up with a use for empty paper towel holders. The most common is probably binoculars. My son has created them on ... more » -

Meet Lisa, our guest blogger for today! I know Lisa from my local knitting group. She's super funny and always has the best stories from her adventures in teaching Kindergarten. Enjoy this post from her! My name is Lisa. I'm a teacher, knitter, quilter, and all around crafter. During the summer months, I tend to find myself neck deep in ongoing projects and I blog about them here. A month or so ago I found a chair for sale. It was a beautiful wooden number with a rattan seat. The seat ne... more » -

I shamelessly stole this idea from Crafterella. She made some to use as tags on her etsy shop items and I loved them! I asked her how to make them and if I could share the tutorial with all of you. I decided to make these charms to put on some friendship bracelets I'm planning on handing out at BlogHer. Will you be there? Do you want a bracelet? I'm hoping to have about 100 to give away. We'll see how long my hands hold up. Supplies: Shrinky dink plastic inkjet printer paper punche... more »
