Cute DIY ideas! And I love the pink bunny. I took a closer look at the DIY projects book and there are some really cool ideas in that book!
ReplyDeleteDelighted you liked my pink bunny, Dawn Rae. I agree about that DIY projects book. They do have some fun ideas for crafting. There is a whole series of those DIY books - for Mothers or Father Day and many other holidays. I thought it was a clever idea for crafters.
DeleteThis is such an awesome article on crafts! I love all of the craft ideas featured here. Of course, Easter crafts are among my all time favorites and packing Easter eggs with special surprises is just plain fun for all. I have always adored Draw-sting pouches and that is an excellent tutorial by Coletta! It is really cool to have a month to celebrate crafting and a week to celebrate Elf (oh, I mean crochet).
ReplyDeleteAwww, Mouse, that is so sweet - It's Elf Week. I could start a trend! :-) Glad you enjoyed this craft article.
DeleteLots of cute ideas! I really like the crocheted green octopus!

DeleteI'm not very good at crafts, but love to see how creative others are. If I liked to crochet, I'd be tempted to try making that cute octopus.
ReplyDeleteThe octopus is easy to make, Barb. I even created an easy tutorial for it. :)
DeleteOh! What fun ideas for crafting Pat. I looked at the book and see so many ideas and crafts to do with the kids. Our grandson Bobby is the crafty one in the family. He's always making something and thinking of ideas to make things from common items. Thanks!!
