Craft Day Tuesdays - Necklace plus Art

 Does inspiration ever come to you at the weirdest times? It does me.  I went to Hobby Lobby on Saturday.  I was a woman on a mission.  I knew exactly what I needed.  I had a short window of time...then BAM!  Inspiration struck.  I saw these tiny wooden discs and I thought, "I know our next project!"
 We painted the discs pale blue.  It took very little paint to do 4, so a whole bottle of paint would probably paint 50+.  Then, we went off to play while they dried.
 Later, we drew the "scenery" with Sharpie markers.  Just fun things like sunshine, grass, rainbow, etc.  Easy, right?
We picked which button would go with each scene (Dress It Buttons - aren't they cute?).  I hot glued on the buttons.  I burn my fingers ev.ery.time.  Then, I hot glued the ribbon on the back for the necklace.

They turned out sooo cute.  I might make theses with my nieces and nephew, too.  They were a hit!

8 wooden discs - $1.99
Blue paint - $1.00
Ribbon - $1.00
We already had the Sharpies and the buttons

Are you inspired to make some adorable necklaces?  I think I want to wear the unicorn one!  :)

Have a fun and playful day!

Team Gift

 So it's the end of the basketball season for my varsity-playing freshman (yes, I said freshman).  I wanted to give them a little something.
 I made bowties (some of the girls on the team wear them!) for all the players and coaches.  I just wanted to give them/make them something fun.
 I used these natural brown boxes (they are cupcake boxes from brpboxshop.com), added tissue paper, and some Dove chocolates.
 I added the bowties and...
 and I ate some chocolates (shhh!)
 I love packaging - simple packaging.  I used this scalloped paper punch that I found at JoAnn's and some twine.
Ta-Da!
 
I followed the steps here on Pinterest:


I bought one yard of fabric and made 25 bowties with fabric left over.  $5.00 for the fabric, $4.oo for the clips at Hobby Lobby, and $2.00 for the polka dot ribbon.  Easy peasy.
