COLORFUL DISPLAY BOARD PINS

COLORFUL DISPLAY BOARD PINS ($2.00 Project)

Materials: 
1. Chenille stems ($1.00)

2. Push Pins ($1.00) 

Method:  
Step 1. Take any color chenille stem and wind it on your index finger and middle finger and form the shape of the digit '8'. Continue making the '8' shaped petals by interlacing the chenille stems. This step hardly takes a 2-3 minutes

Step 2.  Make different colored flowers. Just slide the same colored push pin through its center. I used the same color pin as the chenille stem, but maybe you may add a different colored pin to give a contrast color center to the flower-pin.

Step 3. I used these flower-pins as my display board pins. Now, my display board looks bright, attractive  and colorful. They are quiet different from the regular market ones and are quick to make in just few minutes.

I used a foam board for my display board and created a zigzag border using construction paper to decorate the sides.
                                   

OWL REMOTE CADDY CUM CUSHION

OWL REMOTE CADDY CUM CUSHION

Many times it happens that we keep looking for the T.V. remote and cannot find it because it is either hidden under the couch or beside the recliner, or maybe the kids have put it somewhere. I have therefore made this caddy cum cushion to hold all my three remotes in them. It has a two large pockets and the wings can also hold them. Kids will love them as a cushion and it serves your purpose too. I used felt fabric to make it and used polyester fiberfill to stuff it. I appliqued the eyes and used large size buttons for the eyes and the wings. I used satin ribbon for the bow.                                             Owls are seriously so adorable!

 

 
Owl love you so much!

BINDER CASE / BINDER SLEEVE

BINDER CASE / BINDER SLEEVE

 

My son, who is a 5th grader now, is allowed to use binders this year. He has to carry them daily to school. It has sharp corners which may tear the bag at the bottom within some days. As we all know the famous saying ' A stitch in time saves nine', I thought of making a 'binder sleeve' or 'binder case/cover' to hold the binder and prevent the tearing of bag as well. I had so many ideas for a girl's binder but had to think for ideas and colors for a boy. So I chose black fabric, quilted it and made an appliqué of a bike on the center, attached a contrasting red colored zipper to add some brightness as well.

 

FALL WREATH (RECYCLING OLD CARDBOARD MUFFIN BOX)

FALL WREATH

Here is a fall season craft, which hardly costs anything!

All that you need is.... 
1. An empty muffin cardboard box.
2. A wire clothe hanger.
3. Glue gun and glue sticks.
4. Water colors and a brush.
5. Glitter pen.
6. A string or a piece of ribbon.

Method:
Step 1: Cut the muffin box, then cut out the shapes of fall leaves from them.

Step 2: Using water colors of the hues of red, yellow, brown and green, paint all the leaves using a brush. Let them dry.

Step 3: Add some veins using brown color and try to paint it quite natural.

 

 Step 4: Actually the  wire hanger was very thin. So I took a sheet of large white paper and rolled it into a tube and tied it around the hanger using a string and painted it orange color using up the left over colors. I forgot to take pictures of this part. Later, I stuck the leaves onto it using hot glue.

Step 5: I took a brown colored construction sheet and cut a tag out of it. I jotted down 'WELCOME' on it using glitter pens and markers. I hung it using a paper string from the back on the hanger.

Step 6: It is a perfect door decor for the fall season and at almost no cost! It is easy to craft and fun too! You can make your little ones busy for the coloring part.They will surely enjoy helping you! Happy crafting!

 

CUTLERY CASE/ SCISSOR CASE

CUTLERY CASE/ SCISSOR CASE

I had this idea in my mind to design a scissor case for myself. After I made it, I got another idea to use it as a cutlery case on my dining table. I made one and I am heading to make three more to make a complete set of 4. It goes so well with my Corelle Dining Set which also has the same hues.

 As a scissor case it looks like this as shown below....

Presentation counts! Isn't it?

 

GO GREEN! CAPRISUN JUICE POUCH BAG

RECYCLED BAG USING CAPRISUN JUICE POUCHES

 

 

Recycling the Caprisun Juice pouches was the part of  my project this time. I washed the juice pouches with soap and water, dried them completely before working on the project. I made a durable, sturdy, waterproof bag by piecing the pouches  together using a sewing machine. I used plastic handles for the bag which I already had at home. This bag can be used to carry beach wear (wet clothes, slippers) or can be used to carry a picnic blanket or any thing else. It can be used as a gift bag too! Show proudly that you are a fan of Caprisun 100% Juice!  

GO GREEN!!!
