March Craft Update!

I recorded a video showing most of the stuff I made in the month of March. I a lot of small stuff!  I even started to bead, again.  The beading project didn't end well, however.  I mention in the video about how the finished beaded product came out looking like small broom and that I didn't want to wear two brooms on my ear, so only one earring was made.  Don't you just hate a project that doesn't transform in to craft gold!? Maybe I can attach the broom to a mixed media piece of some sorts.  Anyways, in the craft haul you'll see my regular polymer clay stuff, along with some resin and a dash of jewelry making.  I made this awesome shadow box that I forgot to include in the video...that pic is on my instagram.  I hope you enjoy the video!  I haven't started crafting this month...but am really looking forward to getting started, already!

Choco Heart Earrings with Frosting Bow

I'm so proud of this design.  The earrings I created are so cute and dainty.  I've posted so many heart projects on my YouTube channel, I'm kinda getting burnt out!  I hope you enjoy the earrings and decided to make a pair for yourself.

 

Pretzel Heart Necklace

 

 

This week, I made myself a pretzel, heart shaped necklace out of polymer clay. I thought about fashioning a pair of earrings in the same design (smaller of course) but thought that might be carb overload.  The final result came out so cute!  When I showed it to my mom, she thought I glazed over a real pretzel and strung it on a chain.  If you don't have brown clay on hand, you can always use brown food dye or paint baked, white poly clay, brown.  I think even making the pretzel in a pastel color would be cute, there is just so many places you could add your own flair to the design.

Rhinestone Heart Necklace

Another Valentine's Day DIY for ya!  We have several weeks until V day, but there is nothing wrong with being prepared.  You can make this necklace ahead of time and wear it on the days before...because, really; Love should be shared everyday! This necklace takes minimal time to make and uses materials you probably have around your house.  You could always substitute rhinestones with GLITTER!

 

Green Slime Earrings

Valentine's Day is fast approaching.  Make sure you have something to wear on that the 14th!  Try making a pair of your own Green Slime Earrings!

Layer It by Ear-Part 3

Fiskars' has an amazing array of craft supplies. Today, I've chosen to take their circle paper punch and try to do a little something out of the ordinary with it. Take a look.

Punching circles from various colors of cardstock, I then glued the circles one on top of another (*circle, glue, circle, glue, circle). After a stack of six circles, I applied a constant pressure and let dry. After drying, the tower is ready to cut in to. Designs are one of a kind and very tempermental to pressure, angle and slides of hand. After I got my desired look, I added varied embelishments to compliment the paper work. Earring hooks were added, the craft is very wearable.





*All cuts are made with the detail tool, and the partial holes were made using the craft hand drill.
