Feathered Friends

Here is a fun craft that will put a use to all those fabric scraps that don't seem to serve any real purpose except for cluttering up you craft room. 

This cute owl can be use as gift bag, or as decoration. 

Supplies

-Paper lunch bag

-At least three different corresponding pieces of fabric

-A glue stick

-Hot Glue

-Modge Podge

-Paint brush

-Two buttons

Instructions

1. Cut the top of your paper bag to look like ears. An easy way to do that is fold it in half length wise, and cut a quarter of a circle in the top. 

2. Take a rectangle of fabric that is the same width of you bag, and same height, measuring from tip of ears to bottom of bag, and glue it on. (do this over the side of the bag with the seam)

3. Turn the bag over backwards, and trim the fabric so it is the same size and shape of the bag.

4. Cut out two small circles out for the eyes, it is best to cut them out at the same time, so they are the same size.

5. Cut a larger circle out for the belly. Cut a small triage out of this fabric as well, this will be the beak. 

6. Glue these pieces on the owl.

7. Use a brush to Modge Podge your bag so the the fabric won't come un-glued.

8. Once the bag is dry, hot glue on buttons for eyes.

Once it is done, you can stuff tissue paper in the bag, so that it looks fuller, and cutter.

Have fun!!!!

Picture Perfect

Here is a fun and easy craft that will add a princessey touch to any girls room!


Supplies
-Photo frame
-Hot Glue
-Yellow Yarn
-Artificial Flowers ( I used fire flowers)


Instructions


Cut nine long pieces of yarn. The length you need will depend on your frame size. Pieces anywhere from 1-2 yards should work fine. Tie the pieces together at the top with a knot. Braid until you reach the end, and then knot that. 


The next step allows you to be fairly creative. Your finished piece will look something like this,

so it is a good idea to lay the yarn down in a few different desgins before you hot glue for the final time.When you are ready to do that, cut the knot off of one end of your braid. Hot glue that end down in a way that will not allow your braid to come undone. Then do a few dots of hot glue in the places where the braid lays flat on the frame, or the yarn over laps. You don't want to hot glue the whole braid down, because it will ruin the effect. Cut the knot of the other end, and hot glue that end down like you did the first end.


Once the braid is done, hot glue the flowers on. Gluing the flowers down over the end is a good way to hide the rough ends.




Happy decorating!




Lots of Love.

By Lantern Light...

Isn't the idea of floating in a boat under lanterns so romantic? I think every girl would love to do something like that. 

Although it's not quite the same as floating lanterns, here is a craft that will light up your table, front walkway or porch. 

I got the idea form all of the mason jar crafts on Studio 5.

Supplies

-Modge Podge

-Tissue Paper 

-Glass Jar (Make sure you can get a lighted candle in!)

-Scratch paper 

-Glitter (optional)

-Brush

Instructions

1. Cover your surface with scratch paper.

2. Put a little bit of modge podge on you jar, and stick tissue paper on it. It then, continue to cover the jar in tissue paper, and apply modge podge over top. You don't need any underneath the paper, just make sure the top part is covered.

3. If you want glitter, carefully sprinkle it on the jar while the jar is still wet.

Hope you enjoy!!!!

Lots of Love,
