Like many of you all, I’m totally addicted to Pinterest. I could spend hours and hours pinning all the pretty items, yummy recipes, cute quotes, and so much more – and I’ll tell you I have done that. One of my blogging friends Rachel has been posting about all the things she has done that she has discovered on Pinterest – and also she has asked what we have done. At first I thought, geeze, I really haven’t done much. But while browsing my pins, I’ve discovered I have tried some of the wonderful things I’ve found.
Sponge Balls
Made these for Alex – but used them at the cottage, in lake water, with sand… while the balls were very cool, they got pretty nasty fast. I recommend using them on grass – much more fun.
Party Streamers
Made these for Alex’s birthday party – so freaking easy and so cool! We were able to tape them to our outdoor patio tent – I’m not really sure about taping them to a ceiling…
Rolled Fabric Wreath
I have this partially done… I tried to have a number of them made for my craft show – but when I tried to find the christmas sprigs… they were nowhere to be found. It was too early in the season I guess. So.. within the next few weeks it will be done!
Embroidery Thread Organizer
Did this – fabulous idea! So easy – so organized. Must get more embroidery thread… I’m running dangerously low.
Fabric Headband
I made one of these with some lovely Amy Butler scraps that I had. Super easy – just wish I looked better wearing it (need my hair to grow some…)
Felt Poppy
Made a variation of these (using the base pattern) for my craft show! They were a huge hit. $1 of each sale went to the Poppy Fund. I wish I had a picture…. but I sold out at the craft show!
Felt Heart Bookmark
I altered my felt bookmark pattern I have been using for a couple of years to look more like this one – very cute.
Button Bracelet
Made this with a number of off white buttons – I think it turned out ok, but next time I will use more elastic that is a tad more narrow.
Framed Hand Print
I made this with scrapbooking paper for Matt for Father’s Day! Turned out ok – not as nice as the one on Pinterest though.
Very cool stuff! Love the bracelet and the framed hands!!
Um, your framed hands are even better!! I love that idea. And I love the poppies too! If you make more, I’ll definitely buy a couple. You’ve done a lot of neat crafts here!!
You have TOTALLY put pinterest to work, girl! Me? I just pin and dream about doing all this crafty stuff. Ha!
Seriously, what was life like before Pinterest?! What a great idea to show all of your pinning work. Love them all!
I so wish I had more time for Pinterest because I could spend all damn day on there I swear. And btw, I still need to hire you as my personal clothes shopper!
Oh, I love, love Pinterest. I’m just not crafty so I either drool over the pictures or ask my mom to make them for me.
Everything came out beautifully! Gosh I KNOW about pinterest…addictive! Have found some very cool things, though. Almost all of the things I’m making for the holidays I found there.
Wow – I am SO impressed with all that you have done!!! You rock!
I have intentionally avoided Pinterest. I know (KNOW!) I would love-love-LOVE it and quickly become addicted and I barely have time to blog, read blogs, and keep up with the other things I love right now. I love your handprints and that wreath is gorgeous. I wonder if my mom would like that embroidery thread holder idea. I love the bright colors…soooo pretty!
