DIY Beginner Polymer Clay Coral Bracelet. I love the polymer clay tutorials from Delighted Momma because they are for beginners with good instructions. Tutorial from Delighted Momma here. *When you carve the little pieces off the polymer, if the clay is too soft put it in the freezer for 5 minutes.
DIY: chandelier
1 hula hoop (spray painted) + 2 strings of icicle lights and black electrical tape = magnificent chandelier. Awesome!
Lovely idea!
DIY: heart confetti
Instead of using vellum (which can be expensive or you may not have on hand) you can use cereal bags like in this post here. I had to look through 9 pages on my blog tagged hearts to find that post!

I see these type of rocks all the time also in childrens’ stores (the science section). Other really cool rocks you could use to make this. Super easy jewelry tutorial.

Calm Down Jar
What is a mind jar? It’s a jar full or glitter glue, glitter and water. Swirl it around and relax while you watch the glitter fall to the bottom of the jar.
How to make: Just mix 1 tablespoon of glitter glue, per 1 cup of hot water, add extra glitter (I used an extra small tub).
Truebluemeandyou: What I would do is get small jars for little gifts with a cute tag saying something like, “Keep Calm and Glitter On”.

Glass Jar Photo Frame Tutorial
Yes, there’s been the photo in olive oil jar, but isn’t this so much easier? Great find.
You know those poster for sale of England, USA etc.. with place names? Or the Jane Austen one? They used THIS program. Zombies. Put in the search word “zombies” this time on Tagxedo Creator here. Already posted this but did something Halloween like. Again, you can make a Tagxedo out of your blogs, other websites, tweets, tags, do a word search like Halloween or Christmas and then create shapes with those words. You can choose from tons of shapes, color palettes, whether your words are randomly placed or all vertical or horizontal or both. Lots of cool fonts to choose from.
The purpose of my blog has become to catalog unique crafts that I truly love and would do myself. I love the look of handmade crafts - handmade in a good way. My crafts tend to be doable and inexpensive - because I have either done them myself or intend on doing them. "Doable" doesn't mean "simple" crafts, but rather crafts that have tutorials that are clear and easy to understand. *I will never copy an entire tutorial from any blogger because that takes away page views from their site and 99.99% of the time it violates their copyright policy. I also will not reblog a post if the entire tutorial is published without the permission of the original blogger. I will cite, if known, sources for my posts because I believe in giving credit to the photographer/designer/blogger. Also, to act like something is your own idea, when it isn't, is just wrong.
