DIY Cross Stitch Perforated “Mason” Bags from Fossil (upper LEFT Mason Bag $148 here). Tutorial at the Fossil Life Style Blog here. Found at StitchPunk, Urban Threads’ Blog here. *I know this bag is too expensive for me. Alternatives?
EDIT: *Look in comments section for some suggestions.
DIY White Soft Ruffle Scarf. I have debated whether to post this or not because I am not a great sewer. Because I am a ruffle-holic I decided to look over the instructions again at mama says sew here and decided I could do it. It’s luxurious and expensive looking and that makes it worth doing - because face it - you could pick up a nice ruffle scarf at Target for $15 so why bother making one like it (and there are tutorials out there for cheaper ruffle-like scarves that fit that description)? Because I’m lazy, I would probably skip the flowers and beading (but that’s just me). I just hope it turns out looking like the one in the photograph!
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.
