Toilet Paper Roll Art

My girls and I have crafted with toilet paper/paper towel rolls for many years but have never made such beautiful recycled wall art. When I came across this tutorial from Handmade Mamas my creative wheel started to turn. I just wish I hadn't donated my stash of toilet paper rolls to my daughter's classroom a few weeks ago. So it looks like my T.P wall art will have to wait a few more weeks until I've replenished my materials...lol
I am a huge fan of recycled crafting and working with whatever you have on hand at the time so over the next few posts Recycled Craft Ideas will be our theme :)
Check out some other Toilet Paper roll wall art I found.

So Save the Planet, Save your money and Craft it up with some Recyclable Materials.

Valentine's Day Bubbles

I'm always looking for easy craft tutorials for any occasion but with Valentine's Day right around the corner I've been focusing mainly on crafts me and the girls can make together for the holiday. I've made homemade bubbles before and raided my recycle bin for jars to fancy up but Christy from glitter to gumdrops has taken this craft up a notch. Her heart shaped bubble wands with charms are exactly what this craft needed to make the Perfect Valentine's Day Gift.
How Cute our these?

Valentine Kiss Jars

While searching for more inexpensive Valentine crafts I came across these Valentine Kiss jars from Trey and Lucy

I love the simplicity of this craft and how you can personalize it. I've always been someone who appreciates a personalized gift more than a store bought gift.



So start saving those jars and bottles because your family and friends would love a personalize hug or kiss jar (I know I would)

I'm Back and Inspired !!

I know I've been M.I.A for quite some time and I apologize for that. The Holidays were beyond busy for me (craft shows, family, travel etc).
I've been itching for some new craft ideas and with Valentine's Day just around the corner I've been searching the net for a lil inspiration. I've found some amazing craft projects and tutorials so I thought I'd post one today.
Vellum covered pictures are an extremely easy and inexpensive craft.
I found a great step by step tutorial at Craft Envy along with so many other fabulous craft ideas.



I love the look and sophistication of this simple craft.
I made one of my girls with the phrase "All Because two people fell in love" and it turned out absolutley gorgeous and will be picking myself up some more vellum this weekend so I can make some more of these :)

We're Obsessed !! Hanging Letter Art

I received a phone call from my gf Kara that she was godmother at a christening on Sunday and that we had to get together and brain storm something crafty to gift. Which means Saturday afternoon we were scrambling (which is what we do best) to put something together for little Emily:) We decided on a sterling silver bracelet so we definately needed to craft some sort of jewelry box..lol..and that wasn't enough so we decided on making Hanging Baby Name Art.( Which for our first time turned out pretty awesome) I love love love them and Both Kara and I are quite proud of ourselves. I know there are a huge amount of tutorials on making these letters but I've never written one before so I think I will post a tutorial tomorrow once I go through all of the pictures :)



Here's how Kara's cute little Jewelry box turned out
