Coffee Cozy - A Craft-A-Day with Pattiewack for National Craft Month!

Grab your fabric scraps an felt for this adorable coffee cozy the you can say you made yourself!  Instead of cutting out the word MOM, you could cut out a cut puppy or kitty, a monogram, flower, heart or anything you like to think about first thing in the morning.  I even thought about gluing a little pocket on the side.

Cameo Key Necklace - A Craft-A-Day with Pattiewack for National Craft Month!

Keys are so cool to craft with, and to add a cameo to a key is just great!  I simply glued it onto the key and then took bugle beads and placed them around the edge.  You can find out how I did it on iLoveToCreate.com.  Oh, and how do you like the monogram with beads?  This looks so cute with a white shirt and jeans.  Now I just need to make some matching earrings or a bracelet!

Bracelet Bling - A Craft A Day with Pattiewack for National Craft Month

 

Starting with a blank silver bracelet from JoAnn Fabrics, this was a really fun project to do for myself.  I am crazy about the square glass beads on a string, so it was easy to place them on the edges of the bracelet with glue and keep them on the string.  And then I found gorgeous bling in the jewelry aisle to glue in the center.  I absolutely love it, and hope it inspires you to go make something during March to celebrate National Craft Month.  The instructions are on iLoveToCreate for all the details.

See you again tomorrow for another fun craft!

Tie Dye Pillows for Easter - Video Tutorial on KSEE24 We Are Fresno LIVE!

Peeps are my all-time favorite candy at Easter, and that's where I got my inspiration for these 'peep pillows' that I made for the iLoveToCreate website this month.

Do you like them as much as I do???

So, of course I just HAD to take them to KSEE24 for our monthly craft segment. Here's a shot of my demo set-up.  I'm all ready to show the world how to tie dye with the Tulip One-Step!

I also grabbed a cute bunny robot on a tie-dye t-shirt that would be perfect for any kid to wear to the easter egg hunt.  I mean, even if he or she didn't find the prize egg, they'd still be happy wearing this shirt, right?

Okay, so I had to ham it up for the camera when I was waiting for my time to come up.  It's always
a little nerve-racking since it's LIVE and anything could happen on live television...especially with tie dye...

 Here's the video of me and the Host, Alex as we showed everyone just how easy it is to tie dye anything you want, any color you want.  She was so excited and concentrating so hard, you'll see her sticking her tongue out just like a cute little kid trying to get it just right....

For written instructions,
go to iLoveToCreate.com for both the bunny pillows and the robot t-shirt.

St. Patrick's Day Party Girl - Celebrating National Craft Month!

 

St. Patrick's Day Party Outfit!

This skirt was totally inspired by a Kate Spade skirt that I saw.  Of course, I could never come close to making a skirt as wonderful as something in the designer's line, but I think it turned out really nice!  If you look close, you'll see how cool the shimmer paint looks, and you just might fall in love like I did.  For the complete instructions, go to the iLoveToCreate website.  And it's not too late to make oneand wear to that fun little St. Patrick's day party coming up!....

Polka Dotted Kitty Cat Tote - National Craft Month with Pattiewack!

 

 Cute Kitty Cat Tote Bag

What I love most about this tote bag is hard to decide, because I'm crazy for the ruffle of pink and chocolate polka dots and I also love, love, love the adorable siamese kitty cat!  When I made it, I used freezer paper to create a stencil for the kitty, which made it super simple to get the really skinny lines.  Oh, and of course I love the border of crystals and the little crystal necklace on the kitty.  If you want the pattern, go to the iLoveToCreate website for all the details.  I'll see you tomorrow with another craft in my March line-up to celebrate National Craft Month!

Recycled Juice Cap Rings - Craft-A-Day with Pattiewack!

 

Recycled Juice Cap Rings

These rings made from recycled juice caps are just the thing to get girly girls excited about crafting!  And the fact that they have glitter AND crystals is even MORE exciting.

DIY Feather Necklace - National Craft Month!

  

DIY Feather Necklace

Have you been to the store, Charming Charlies?  Well if so, you probably flipped out like I did when you saw all the feather jewelry.  And I knew exactly what I wanted to do when I saw this one.  But it didn't have any of the glittery shimmery paint on it.  Go to the iLoveToCreate website to see how I did it and to shop for the shimmery paint!  I'll see you tomorrow with another craft for my crafty celebration of National Craft Month!

Painted Doily Tote

 

Painted Doily Tote Bag

I absolutely loved making this tote bag, because it seriously took about 15 minutes to make.  And now I can pack it with a bundle of books or my lunch, or wad it up and keep it in my purse for a shopping bag.  You can do it, too!  The instructions are on the iLoveToCreate website, and you can shop for the paint there, too.  If you're loving National Craft Month, drop back by tomorrow for another project from me.... Pattiewack!

Chalkboard Placemats

The secret to these chalkboard placemats is to adhere chalkboard fabric to placmats.  You'll find complete instructions on the iLoveToCreate website.  I love this idea for parties, or for everyday.  The kids will love to have something to doodle on while you put the finishing touches on the mac and cheese or to do a little math when they're doing homework.

If you're loving the daily craft projects to celebrate National Craft Month, then come back tomorrow, because I'll have something new to create!

Satin Rosette and Crystals Clutch

Rosettes are so hot, and so much fun, that I just keep making them!  And this one is double-good because there are two DIY rosettes on this cute clutch.  The trick is to add the crystals to the ribbon before you gather it into a rosette.  You'll find the complete rosette tutorial on the iLoveToCreate website and see just how easy it is to make.

Glitter and Crystals Tote

Everyone loves glitter!  And who wouldn't want a tote bag that has glitter, crystals, and a peacock feather? You'll get glitter and glitz when you make this bag, and it will be great to carry to work or school bag to hold your laptop, books, and a snack.  The detailed instructions are on the iLoveToCreate website.  And if you don't need a tote, the peacock feather would look pretty cute on a little skirt, don't you think?

Over 200,000 Views!!!

Today the Magazine Roll-up Crafts video on the Pattiewack Designs YouTube Channel hit over 200,000 views. I'm so excited, I can't stand it! I'm sure there should be confetti flying out of the sky right now or something, right? Scott kept telling me that it was getting close, but I had a hard time believing that over 200,000 people wanted to see what they could make with their recycled magazines. Ha! Was I wrong. That's a LOT of crafters with a LOT of magazines!

There are 42 videos on my channel right now, and I have soooo many more that we need to upload so that we can share them. Scott promises to get more added since it's pretty apparent that crafters are looking for fun ideas on YouTube.

Thanks to everyone who has clicked over to watch, and if you haven't already, you can subscribe to my Pattiewack Channel, and help spread the crafty love.
