Summer Craft Projects

I, [M], always have a lot of ideas for new projects.  Many of them are quite amazing, if I do say so myself.  However, time is never on my side/I don't manage my time well so that I have time to actually make any of these ideas.  If often seems that right before I have to go back to work at the end of the summer, I get a surge of energy and make several projects all at once.  This is what I finished:




  • A bulletin board for [A]'s room (made from cork board, covered in fabric, and accented with ribbons)

    •  Bracelets made from nuts and washers (the nut bracelet is too heavy, so I need to find some smaller parts; the washer bracelet is VERY cool).


     (what they look like on)
    •  Ceramic candle sticks, however I have 3 more that still need to be painted.
    •  Mini journals made from my tea boxes.

    I have a plan for this year (and hopefully I will stick to it).  I want to make at least 10 things a week (ceramics, journals, jewelry, and scarves--I will post some pictures of these soon).  Then, I plan on having a boutique show in November.  Sounds like a pretty good plan...now, [M] stick to it!!!

  1. That bulletin board is adorable! I love the bracelets too. Good luck with your plan. If I lived closer (and had any extra moola), I'd totally shop at your boutique show.

    Good luck with the start of school!
