Interesting Projects!

I always make the projects in my head before I work on the designs and the resulting crafts. A couple of these projects did not turn out the way they were initially completed in my imagination.

In fact, there are several versions of the cupcake paperweight and the yo yo angel that differ from the final results. But, that's okay. The creation is part of the fun.

I'm happy with both of these versions and hope you enjoy them and the other projects. Of course, you can always change them to make your own unique creations.

Have fun!

Two cupcake paperweights looking like fun
Just look at these two cupcake paperwieghts. One is red velvet cake with pink tinted cream cheese icing. The other is a peanut butter cake with browned sugar icing. Don't they just look like fun?
Yo Yo Angel Ornament hanging as a decoration
She's fun. She's easy to make, but it does take some time. This little Yo Yo Angel Ornament takes just a few scraps of fabric and some poster board. Wouldn't she be cute hanging on a cabinet knob?
Woven ribbon pillow in the Shaker-style pattern
For a different type of project, take a look at the Shaker-style weave pattern of this woven ribbon pillow. It's just as easy as the basket weave pattern.
Easy Angel Crafts Tulle Angel Ornament hanging as a decoration
This little Tulle Angel is fast and fun to make. Plus, she looks both ethereal and elegant. Only a few materials are needed. And, it can be made almost as fast as it takes to read the instructions - not quite, but almost! Take a look at her and her red friend as well.
Green and red button wreath ornament hanging as a decoration
A button, three beads, some ribbon, a piece of craft felt and a small amount of fiberfill are all the materials you need for this little button wreath ornament. Make a few as ornaments, or make several and connect them with a ribbon for a garland. Lots of easy fun!
Some new projects on the horizon:

  • paper gingerbread
  • paper nutcracker
  • smocked pillow
  • more angels
  • more Christmas ornaments
  • doggie and kitty foldable boxes for children's organization
  • eye glasses case in the shape of a fish

...and whatever else strikes my imagination.
