Today’s craft project is brought to you by a whole lot of chains. Well, not a WHOLE lot, just 3. For this project, I stopped by the jewelry department at the craft store and picked up three legnths of chain, each different. I brought them home and cut them to different legnths. Once that was…

Today’s project was something that I have been wanting to try all month. This string light fixture took me a couple days to actually complete, with drying time, but it was well worth it. I used a tutorial from Pickles. Like most of the tutorials I found online, it used a basic cotton yarn, but…
