Another Amazing Earbud Holder?

For this earbud holder, I simply used an Icebreakers contain and washed all the labels off of it. Then just add one of your favorite pairs of earbuds by carefully pulling the lid off of the container and have the bud part of the earbuds stick through the larger opening section in the container and have the cord part of the earbuds have the little metal tip stick upwards through the smaller part of the container, as seen below. Then decorate with any stickers, scrapbook paper, or any other embellishments you desire! :) 



Tape Design Art

For this artwork, you need a canvas to start off. Once you have a canvas, you can start making your design with tape, (look at the pictures below if you need help) I decide to make a geometric design, but first make sure to get some medium stickiness tape, because you don't want to not be able to get the tape off the canvas or not have it stick at all. Next, paint with whatever colors you want between the tape lines and let it dry. Then, carefully peel off the tape, and you should have nice white lines between your design, but if for some reason you don't have these lines you can always do some quick touch up with your paint brush. Now, you have a beautiful piece of artwork you can give as a gift or hang up! :)




Jewelry Holder DIY

For this awesome craft, you need some kind of wooden frame or wooden design to start. Once you have that, paint the whole thing whatever color or colors you desire-(I did pink) and let it dry. Then, using a hammer tap in some push pins so there is enough room to hang a necklace or bracelet without it hitting other pins, and if you have clear push pins like mine, you can paint them or design them. Then hang your board or lean it against something sturdy, and start adding jewelry! 







Amazing Earbud Holders

These earbud holders turned out so cute, and were super fun to make, along with working really well since you just wrap your earbuds right around them. Anyways, this craft is made with perler beads and it would be hard to explain the pattern in words, so if you go to SoCraftstics YouTube Channel she has a video for it under DIY school supplies and a lot of other awesome videos so be sure to check her out! :) I followed the same pattern she did for all of them, but came up with the pizza and Oreo designs by myself, so feel free to come up with your own designs or foods as well! 








Colorful Tape Cut-Outs

If you keep your tape out in your room, this the perfect tutorial for you! You know the little paper cut-out that comes inside the tape? Take that out without ripping it and go find some colorful scrapbook paper. Trace the cut-out from the tape on to your scrapbook paper and cut it out. Then carefully pop if back into your tape, and your all done! This was probably one of the easiest crafts I have ever done, and I think it turned out really cute! Also, I will try to keep this blog updated, but I have been very busy with school starting! :)

School Photo Display/Frame

This awesome idea is fun for any school
age group, I did my photos from my Elementary years, but you could also do High School or Middle School or all three depending on the frame you buy! All you really need is a frame with multiple compartments, like the one I made, shown above, some spare craft paper, fun decals, a nail (if you want to hang it up) and your school photos! You can also add a ton of other cool things too, depending on the grade level and what your interested in. You can also do this craft for a boy too, if you use different decals and maybe a dark wood frame instead of the painted white frame. Plus, you can add a cute bow at the top, so you don't have to see the nail sticking out of the wall, since it holds the handle-like part of the frame. 

Treasure Boxes!

My aunt saw this idea in a Martha Stewart magazine, and it is super fun and easy! All you need is paper, a small box, magazine clippings/decals that you like, and glue! Go to Martha Stewart's website  or Pinterest for more info! 
Sorry about the puzzle pieces!
