Spring Wreath

A while back, I saw a wreath on Create Craft Love that I absolutely adored.  It was a fun spring wreath made from a garden hose. So, I thought I would give making one of these a try.  Of course, I managed not to rememeber to print off a list of the things I needed…

#NaBloPoMo – Like it was in 3D

Because of my choice in college degrees, I’ve had access to 3D technology for a long time.  In college, we used 3D scanners that would scan and collect data from 3d objects and create a digital 3D model that could be manipulated for animation.

A couple months ago, my sister asked me to make her a Christmas wreath.  So, we went down to Hobby Lobby and picked up a wreath, some decorative picks, and a few flowers.  I love the Hobby Lobby weekly sales.  We got a great price on everything. For most of the last month, all those…

Craft Month 2011 – Day 26 – Make Your Own Coasters

Today, I’m going to tell you how to make your own coasters.  To start my project, I went to our local building supply store and purchased some tiles.  I bought 4 of them for 68 cents.  That’s right, 68 cents.  I brought them home and got together the rest of the items for my project:…

Craft Month 2011 – Day 20 – Embroidery

For today’s craft project, I thought I would try something that I have never done before.  I did some embroidery.  I started with a cute image I found online, which I printed it out and traced onto my fabric.  Then I did a lot of backstitching.  I’m very excited about how the final project turned…
