Earmuff Headband Crochet Pattern

Materials
Bulky or Extra Bulky Weight Yarn (way less than one ball will do)
5.5 MM "I" or even "J" crochet hook  (Check your gauge hooks on preference)
Craft needle  

Notes: You can either work continually in rounds or Slip-stitch your final stitch to your first in the row and Chain 3 to count as first Double Crochet stepping up in your next row (my example steps up each row). Also, I used a fairly bulky acrylic which gave a finished size of about 4 inches or 10 cm diameter, they're one size fits most unless you'd like them bigger or smaller.

Magazine Bow Tutorial

Seriously, this has got to be one of the cutest ways to recycle--ever!  I learned how to make these adorable paper bows at my MOPS meeting today.  I'm sure crafting goddesses have long known about this great little idea, but it was all new to me today. And it's brilliant!  I'm picturing cute little home-made bows atop many an upcoming Christmas gift!

Here's what you need:

Magazine ads (colorful with little text probably works best, but you could really use anything. Also, it's better if the cool design/pretty part is around the edges of the pages vs. the middle), scrapbooking paper, newspaper comics, or any other paper you think would make a cute bow! 

Ruler (if you want to be exact)

Double-stick tape (or some other sticky substance)

Stapler

Craft Tutorial: Decoupage Kid’s Art Beads and Dress-Up Necklaces

Like all kidful households, we’ve got a mountain of paper with crayon scribbles and I just can’t bring myself to throw it out. So I took a little bit of it to make decoupage kids’ art beads, from which I made a fun dress-up necklace for each of my girls plus two for myself!

Materials:

Kids artwork: They used washable crayons, on regular white paper from my husband’s work (from the end of the roll in their big printer that they would have recycled anyways).

My First Guest Post and Craft Tutorial

 Bridal hairpinsfor my tutorial.

 

 

 Materials:

• Hairpins: U-shaped hairpins are the easiest to work with and you can wear these in an updo. For those with finer hair (or short hair like me) you can use regular bobby pins. Combs, barrettes and tiara forms also work well.
• 26-gauge wire: I’m using sterling silver but you can also use silver-plated or other metals, plus less-expensive craft wire from your local craft chain store (great for practicing). 28-gauge can be used too (bigger number=thinner wire) but might break more easily. If you go too thick, it will be difficult to work with the wire.
• Beads: Depending on the look you want to achieve, you can use all the same bead or an assortment.
• Wire cutters and flat-nosed pliers: Nothing fancy needed.
