I love making crafts!

Here's some wet wipe cases I made today...my friend from work wants to buy one for her daughter and another co-worker wants one for a baby shower gift. At boutiques they cost $45-55 which is crazy but I thought they were so cute that I wanted one so I figured out how to make me one. Yesterday when I was at the supply store I saw them selling for $28-35 depending on what glam products they used on them but so I told her I would charge her $25. The materials are expensive but so darling and mine has held out now for a year and still looks great. :o) I'm not sure why the flower looks off centered on this hot pink one because it is not. :o)

This is a holiday wreath for a front door that I made our friends. Just simple.

This holiday wall star I made with cup cake papers. I thought it turned out cute. I gave it as a gift as well to Will's Mom.




This big wreath well you might not be able to tell but it is pretty big I made out of coffee filters and it was a labor of love for my Mom. My dumb hot glue gun got so hot it was boiling and I didn't notice and not only burned two of my fingers really bad but it burned my jeans and then my leg underneath. I couldn't believe it. I had a huge blister on my finger but since my Mom said she loved the wreath it was worth it and the hole in my jeans well it's the in style look right now so I'll keep them. :o) Yes I did get rid of that stupid glue gun after giving it two more opportunities to cool down it burnt me again and again.



I wish I could do crafts more often it is such a relaxing fun activity for me. I have lots more coffee filters and the tan colored ones are going to make a pretty wreath and topiary soon. :o)
