New Craft Projects!

I can't believe summer is almost over and school will be starting soon. It makes me sad. I'm not ready for it to be over, but it has motivated me to get all these craft ideas out of my head so they will be available for fall craft nights and/or Super Saturdays. Dates will be coming soon, but I wanted to get the crafts out there so you can see them. I have been focusing quite a bit on just home decor items. I am so excited to share them with you. And of course, if you don't want to wait for a craft night or a Super Saturday in your area, all of the crafts on my blog are available for purchase or kits at any time. Kits will be sold at the make and take price that I sell them for at the craft nights. Feel free to e-mail me, kmennear@msn.com, with questions or orders.

Now on to the crafts.

1. Flip Flop magnet.
$5 make and take price
$10 finished product kit.
This magnet has been so fun to have on the magnet stand for the hot summer months.


2. Antiqued temple picture block
$5 - take home kit
$8 - Finished product price
I found this cool blog the other day (www.lilluna.com) that had all these vintage temple pictures available for you to make your own. It has asked that I do not sell them for a profit, so I am only selling them at cost, but I wanted to make them available so that the areas where my sisters live that don't have access to these types of things can choose to make one from here. Also I think these make great little pictures to place in kids rooms. Picture is 5 x 7 on a 2 x 6 piece of wood.
This is another version that you may choose from for the same price. It allows and extra couple of inches on the side to allow you to place ribbon there. Ribbon is not included.

3. Flower picture.
$12 make and take price
$17 finished product price

Measures 14 1/2 inches x 14 1/2 inches. I have previously shown this one, but have made a few variations with the bigger flower and no saying and the black frame with material flowers. When ordering, please make sure to specify which style you prefer. I love them on the wreath stand this is also available for purchase.

4. Be Grateful Plaque.
$13 make and take price
$18 finished product price

This plaque measures 12 inches wide and 15 inches tall. It has a vintage look with brown showing through the blue with white vinyl on top. My friend asked me to put something together along these lines with this saying and I love how it turned out.

5. EAT letters
$18 make and take price
$23 finished product price

This one is pottery barn inspired. I love how it is just crisp and clear and BIG for the kitchen. My kids love it because while eating dinner they get to point at it and tell each other to eat. It measures about 10 inches tall for the "e" and "a" and about 12 inches tall for the "t".

6. Home letters
$20 make and take price
$25 finished product price

This one is also pottery barn inspired. I love the vintage look and how each letter is different. The "h" measures 11 1/2 inches tall and the "M" measures 12 inches tall. Length wise for the whole word it measures 33 inches. This looks good standing on it's own or leaned up on a shelf.

Here, I just wanted to show how I have displayed my family picture. It is also availabe for purchase and is a highlight in our living room.
I hope you enjoy the crafts. I will be posting dates for craft nights soon. I know there aren't any fall crafts on this post, but feel free to look at past posts and see the fall crafts that are always available and I'll see if I can come up with a few new ones soon as well. E-mail me with any questions or orders.

Thanks, Kerrie

Making it their own!

I LOVE creativity. It is literally a high for me when I have an idea in my head and I am able to create it and it looks awesome. At our last craft night, we had some ladies use their creativity and paint their crafts to make it their own. I have also had some custom orders where ladies have asked for crafts to fit their own look, and then I thought I would share a couple of pictures of how my mom used the crafts as decor in her house. These are all great ideas and worth sharing.
Black candlestick holders, instead of vintage white.

A chocolate brown magnet stand instead of black.

One of my friends asked if I could turn the flower picture that I had hanging from the wreath stand, into a magnet for the magnet stand. I thought it turned out great!

Here are some custom letters for a friends little boy's room.

Barn red apothecaries instead of black.

And here are two pictures from my mom's decor. I love how she decorated with them.

I hope these ideas got your wheels turning on how you might be able to assessorize in your home. Or how you might be able to use your creativity as well. Stay tune, I have some really great projects that I have been working on and plan on posting them tomorrow.
