Wednesday

Where's My Hot Glue Gun?!?!

I've been crafting up a storm this holiday season.  AND LOVING IT, I might add.

The holidays are the perfect excuse for me to fire up the trusty hot glue gun (my first favorite crafting accessory, closely followed by the product I mentioned in this post).  But don't worry, I'm an EOC -- an equal opportunity crafter -- and I would never shun the likes of other great crafting materials, like spray adhesive, pipe cleaners, and of course the trusty ol' needle & thread.  Wanna see what I've been working on?

Project #1:
Fun fabric-covered stud earrings for my Etsy site.  They're posted now - click right over!

Prepalicious Fabric Earrings


















Snowball Fabric Earrings




















Project #2:
Converting a dollar store placemat into a fun metallic holiday pillow.  Tutorial coming!

Before.....















.... and after!




















Project #3:
Creating beautiful large matchboxes just begging to be kept out for display.  Another upcoming tutorial!

This project will set you back less than $1.

Striking, right?  (Sorry, couldn't help it)
















Project 4:
Using Martha Stewart for some gift labeling inspiration.

My first attempt - not so perfect, but moms like that.  :)

This one's for the sister.
















What have you been crafting this season?  Please send me links to any projects you may have blogged about, I'd love to see!
