Lots and Lots of Crafting!

Lately, I have been in the crafting mood! Like, what is beyond normal. I see things and just want to make them. So, I have been. I think part of it, is that I got a hot glue gun and I am just beyond excited. Seriously, I L.O.V.E. my hot glue gun!! So, enjoy my latest projects.
My first one...this is a bulletin board that I have had since like 3rd grade. I have had it forever! And it has definitely seen better days. So, I decided to redo it. It was tons easier than I thought. It doesn't need to be perfect. I took stuffing and put it on top of the bulletin board. Then covered with material and hot glued. Put the ribbons where you want and glue those also.


This is a project I've been wanting to do for a long time! I got the original idea from a blog called Made With Love and Glue. Mine didn't turn out quite like I wanted but I still love it.

Now, this one I love! Sorry the picture isn't very good. I couldn't quite get the right light ever. The original idea was a wreath, but I don't quite have the patience, so it was a ball. I love how it turned out! Enjoy!

Hi Val!

What cute ideas! I saw a metal bulletin board with the same idea of the fabric and ribbon - yours is sooooo cute!

Love the fabric ball, you could always make three of them, put them on sticks and poke them in a pot!!

I also love all the cute things you do with your Cricket!

Love you,
Barb
