Once you start playing with Fimo or Sculpey, you won’t be able to stop!
The colors are bright and saturated, and the instant gratification of baking your creation to a finished product is amazing.
Best part? You can make about four dishes out of one brick of polymer clay!
A lovely, scented candle is a legitimate gift to give a friend, a colleague, or your mom, but you have to admit it may feel a little generic.
But if you add a little crafty treatment to the package, it takes it up that perfect notch to make it feel special.
Holiday meals are occasions for place cards, but it’s really the last thing most entertainers think they have time for. But these Easter Egg place cards redefine the quick and easy craft.
All you need is eggs, washi tape, and toothpicks. (For the really thin washi tape, check out the Little B options. So beautiful!)
After Easter, do you end up with tons of plastic eggs? And mismatched plastic eggs, at that?
Solution: make these cute fuzzy sheep. The body is made from a large plastic egg and the head is a small one.
You can make your own take on this lamp with thin rope, thick rope, jute rope or nylon, and you can coil the rope around almost anything — like a flower pot, a funnel, or a bowl — to get various shapes. For this project, I used a round vase with an inflated balloon in the top, but if you happen to have a glass display cloche sitting around, it would do the job just fine.
Head over to the Etsy blog to see the step-by-step photos!
We’ve all seen toy rockets made from paper towel tubes, cracker boxes, even shipping tubes!
This project takes advantage of one of every household’s biggest frustrations…lost socks!
Upcycle a plastic bottle and use that lone sock to make a toy that can handle serious outer space play!
Making robots might be one of the most fun crafts for kids. One, two, or three eyes—it’s up to you.
Can you believe these materials combine to make a bowl? It’s magic. Almost.
Last week, I had a super-fun craft n’ chat sesh at People.com with Laura Marano, star of the Disney channel’s hit Austin & Ally, and the star of the upcoming Disney movie Bad Hair Day (airs tomorrow, February 13th at 8/7c!). We made some wire flowers with nail polish (get the how-to here), chatted about her new movie…and her tiny fingers.
It’s a great, last minute Valentine’s Day bloom…that will never wilt!
Making these delicate little blooms feels like magic. It’s one of the craft techniques that you have to see to believe!
Insert the stems into spools or teeny vases to display, or attach to a pin back or bobby pin to show of your handiwork!
Check out this video of me making these with Laura Marano, star of the Disney show Austin & Alley, on People.com!
