I stayed busy this cold and snowy weekend making tons of craft projects.
The first was a lollipop plant for Brayden's teacher. Brayden painted it while I made the letters on my Cricut. I also added the ribbon and then I let him decorate it. The top part is a Styrofoam ball and I stuck the suckers in it took 2 bags.
Then I made my husband a Valentines gift. I found a wood box on clearance at Michael's for $.49 and painted it blue. On the front I wrote "It's a joy"
Well he saw it before I gave it to him and came and asked me are we having a baby... he thought it said "it's a boy!" LOL
On the inside I filled it up with one of his favorite candies Almond Joys and wrote "being married to you"
I also gave him a card I found very funny...
It is so true, our lives are so busy right now. But I will always make time for him!
Brayden also made Mamaw and Pawpa something.
These coffee mugs were on clearance for $1.99. So I got then for Brayden to decorate.
Next I made myself some storage items for crafting
My paint was all unorganized in a big bowl so I bought a picture holder box. It was $3.99 and I used my 40% off coupon on it.
Then I put a dab of paint on all the tops so I would know what color they were and put them inside.
They fit perfect and it will hold around 40 bottles
Then I decided to decorate these paper holders I have had for a while now.
I never really liked these but they were on clearance really cheap and I thought hey they will do the job. I originally planned on just staining them and using them how they were but this weekend I decided differently. First I ripped the roofs off them, that way they could be placed together touching. then I painted the insides pink and wrapped the outside in some spare scrapbooking paper I had.
I saw on pinterest someone did the same thing with a cereal box so I decided to make a 3rd one as well.
I used spray adhesive to make the paper sick.
I'm not sure the paper one will last but here is what all 3 look like together:
Next I made a holder for my stickles. I got a picture frame from Goodwill and removed the glass. I painted the outside to look like a zebra (to match the paper holders) and then the inside pink.
After it was mod podged and dried I put on the Velcro and hung it up inside my cabinet.
Lastly I I got Brayden a little Valentine's present and he painted it.
I told you it was a busy weekend!
