This weeks craft : Jessica's house @ 8pm Friday night!!
Okay ladies, so after much deliberation I have decided that I would like to make headbands at this weeks craft night!! I was out at San Marcos today @ the Icing and saw THE CUTEST feather headband and I yet again being cheap refused to pay 14 bucks for it! So although, I know we are all eager to start fall crafts I think that I'll leave that up to KT's craft next week! I really want to make some beautiful headbands to wear once school starts!
There are a TON of pictures on google of beautiful ones such as the one listed here!!
Supplies needed:
Headbands (walgreens has plan ones 2 packs of 3 for $6.00)
Feathers/buttons/anything else you'd like to put on there!!! Hob Lob has some really cute feathers. Plus if we all bring some i'm sure we'll have some to share , therefore allowing us each to make others without having a billion feathers left over!
Hot glue (as usual ladies please bring your guns)
Felt to match the color of your headband (guessing mostly black or white) for each headband you will need 1/2 a sheet of felt..so if you plan on making more than 2 headbands get numerous pieces of felt. The other option is felt on the bottom/paper (posterboard) on top...we'll have to play with it to see how it works..but I'm thinking 2 felt pieces will be the best.
beautiful smiles & attitudes!!
I have a back up idea too so if you really hate this as a craft (which i don't lol) then let me know b.c i also would like to make journals at some point!!
Wax, soy or regular is fine. I'll have some extra but if you want more than one candle, or you want a certain color, bring your own
A crock pot, I know ALL of you have one, so bring it!!
Candle wicks will be supplied by moi
Bring any dye or fragrances that please you
I'm not opposed to using a double boiler for this project, but I sort of assumed nobody would have one, and I wasn't about to buy one. If you've got one, though, feel free to bring it!
This week craft night has a special guest: Alexis Kubiak!! I guess she's sort of subbing for Rana, who is on another vacation! Can't wait to her back with us next week. :)
July 1st @ 8:00 - Mosaic Mirrors (or whatever) @ Jessica's. I will be supplying the grout , tile adhesive, and some colored glass. You will need to bring whatever it is that you will be mosaic"ing" :) . Also please bring some form of glass/ tiles to contribute. Anything will work, hobby lobby sells pre cut glass chunks for I believe 4.00 or so for like 16 little squares but to add DAMES uniqueness to the project I think old plates/ tiles/ glasses to be shattered on my porch with a hammer is much more appropriate.
Week through the 18th: Not observed, so bummed about this :(
Week through the 25th: DIY Trays @ Tyler's. Materials and instructions have already been posted.
July 29 @ 8:00 - Crockpot Candles in Teacups (or whatever small glass or ceramic vessel). Need extra crockpots, so bring 'em if you have 'em. Don't worry, we won't actually melt the wax directly in the pot, but inside the candle containers in the pot. You'll see!
Let's get the August calendar going!! The order is now Adriana, Jess, Tyler and Katie for that month. Pick your crafts now! My craft will be either 3 tiered serving trays or knitting simple, thick cable scarves in honor of the upcoming fall months.
Poor Abandoned Blog!! It's been two weeks since we last updated this thing! Very sad. Even though it seems like everyone's a bit too distracted by summer to stick to the craft night schedule, I have a lot of hope that we'll get things back on track soon. In that spirit, I present y'all with the tray instructions; this craft is meant to be enjoyed at Ty Ty's lovely home, so I'll let her decide what day and time. Happy crafting!
These are the blogs and websites I visit every week to look for material and inspiration for my interwebs articles. I figured I'd post these here for y'all for future craft night inspiration. Happy crafting, lovelies!
