D.I.Y Bowties :) made with Thrifted Silk Ties.
Truebluemeandyou: I have made artwork out of silk thrifted bowties (framing them and giving them captions), so I love vintage bowties and this project :)

Contest from Mochimochi Land “t’s getting to be that time of year when Tiny Baby Bunnies multiply and melt the world with cuteness! We want to see your cutest, cleverest, and most creative uses of the Tiny Baby Bunnies, a free pattern from Mochimochi Land.”
DIY Felt Peeps. So easy and inexpensive to make. I’d love a whole bunch in peep-like colors in a big Easter basket. Tutorial at Michael Ann Made Me here.
What can I say, I have a thing for peeps.
truebluemeandyou: DIY Kewpie Doll Labels. From my archives. Creepy or cute?
Free Printable Kewpie Doll Labels. Found at My Poppet here. Go to her site and follow download instructions there. Easy as “save as” but she asked that any posters not give the direct link to the download. I wouldn’t waste your time with boring labels.
How to Make Kawaii Drawings. By Monica, who is only 13 years old, at The First Lime here. First seen at Hearthandmadeuk.
DIY Kissing Clothespin. No tutorial, just use paint or Sharpies. Seen at Quando Fuori Piove here.
DIY Mini Food. Cool post from The Unconfidential Cook here on “Emma’s Tiny Treats”. Donuts are cheerios dipped in various things and the mini cakes are oreos with frosting and decoration. More mini food creations at the link above! *NOTE: Mini Food inspired by and recipes from an American Girl book, Tiny Treats here. For about $10, this would make a great gift.
truebluemeandyou: DIY Gift Boxes. So little.
DIY Gift Boxes. From the book: かわいいラッピング素材BOOK. Template at Hello Sandwich here.
DIY Cubed Felt Bunny Plushie Keychains. So cute and easy. Tutorial by AIWA at Cut Out + Keep here. You can also see her work at deviantart here. You can alter anything about this project and make monsters, ducks, etc… See the gallery at Cut Out + Keep to see what others have done (my favorite part of this site).
DIY Mouse Pincushion. I chose this photo because the mouse seemed to look a little upset with pins sticking out of his chest. Really good detailed video tutorial and a PDF Download tutorial (with felt ears that take a lot less time) at The Long Thread here.

Just saw this on popular list. When I posted individual ones, didn’t see this. Google image searched the individual ones, so obviously this didn’t show up.
DIY Amigurumi Handcuffs with Free Pattern. I simply couldn’t resist posting these - especially the pink cuffs with the heart buttons. Pattern at Roving Around Crafts here. Other photos of different colors at this site.
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.
