January Craft Day

Hosted the first Craft Day of the year! For this craft day we went for a Valentine's Day wreath, inspired of course by Pinterest. Some decided to work on other projects, which came out great, while two of us stuck to the theme. 

Always a good time to hang out and crafting happens to be a bonus =)

September Craft Day

After taking the summer off, monthly craft days are back on! I love crafting and I love fall, so crafting for fall decor is perfection for me.

We had some beautiful fall crafts being made yesterday. Check it out:

May Craft Day

May's craft day was a mix of crafts. The official craft project was to create a magnetic chalk board out of a cookie sheet pan, but basically, anything craft that's being worked on is fair game.

The goal of a craft party is to have fun. One of my friends couldn't make it last month, but she purchased all the supplies for the Spring Bird. So that's what she worked on. My other friend and I worked on the chalkboard project, while others just came to socialize and enjoy company.

March Craft Day!

As always, my monthly craft day is intended to bring ladies together to enjoy each other's company and craft. Many times people bring their own craft to make and this month was no different. I was the only one that crafted the Pinterest craft and I loved the way it came out. 

Nikita designed and painted this cute picture frame.

This was Felicia's first time at crafting and she designed a frame.

My fellow crafter, Kelsey, worked on a furniture piece she's redoing. 

After what seemed like forever, I finally had finished wrapping and gluing the twine onto my white letter. 

I made the flower from two different felt colors and then glued the buttons in the middle. I love the way it turned out!

January Craft Day!

First craft day of the year was based on a Valentines PINspiration. We had a great time even though I stared at my wooden piece for 3 hours without doing anything. It took me FOREVER to finally come up with something and I actually really liked the end result.

Creativity takes some people a little longer =)

Christmas Window Decor

Since it's officially December 1st and clearly Christmastime, I have continued to craft and make decorations in the home as much as possible. Today I completed yet another project: a window decor. I purchased shiny glitter paper in red, silver and green at Michael's.

Then I simply cut out the circles and used adhesive to secure them on the silver string. While the pictures may not do it justice, they look really great in person =)

September Pinterest Craft Day

As a result of my love for crafting, I created a monthly craft day at my home that started last month with four women. The way it goes is I take a pin or two from Pinterest and post it on an Evite with the supplies necessary.

We just finished our September Craft Day and it was a success.

Craft: a fall wreath that was Pininspired.

Tools:

• A round foam wreath — 2 inches with a flat top and sides (found at Hobby Lobby or Michaels). 
• Ribbon (about 9 yards for a 12 inch wreath)
• Gorilla Glue 
• Paint that matches your ribbon 
• Small Dowels or wooden beads 
• Round Wooden Craft Circles (also found at Hobby Lobby) 2 packages – approximately 30 circles of different sizes 
• 4 different patterns of decorative paper or scrapbook paper

All the ladies did such an amazing job on making their fall wreaths unique and beautiful. We had a great time:
