Lanyard Key Holder Project!!

Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a great day. I have two awesome project to share with you all today. Today! I created a lanyard key holder to wear around the neck in bright pink and silver ribbon shape hope earrings! October is breast cancer Awareness month. Have you had your mammogram yet? If not you should make an appointment to have one done. A friend of mine who is 37 wake up one morning in July 2012 had a lump in her breast. Went to the Doctor and was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. Three weeks later they had to remove her breast. Now she is under going treatments. My friend has lost all of her hair:( I made a few of these to give to my Mom, Daughter, Sisters and a couple of my friends. The lanyard key holder and earrings are so easy to make. I'm linking these projects over at Link Up For Pink link up party 2012. Go over and check out all the pink projects already linked up for Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Here is a close up of the earrings. I purchased the ribbon shape charms, jump rings and fish hook earring findings and I created these breast awareness ribbon earrings.  The ribbon charm has Hope on  it.

To create the lanyard key holder. I used a 36 inch piece of belting nylon strap and a key ring. I sewed the ends together like below.

Here is a tutorial on how the lanyard nylon strap should look to get ready to sew it together. Grab ends like this.

Fold long end of strap over like this. When you look from the side it should look like this. Add key ring and sew ends together with sewing machine.

Here is the finish results after sewing a straight line. Now wasn't that easy. This is a great way to keep from laying keys around like I do and losing them;)

Have a great weekend all. Thank you for stopping by;)

Ice Cream Shape Party Favors Idea!

Hello everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday. I made (20) of these for a friend. She wanted a ice cream shape party favor for her daughter Birthday party. This is what I made for her. The ice cream on top of cone is a bath sponge. I hope the girls will love the bath sponge I put in the paper cones. I thought I would put a gift in the cone the girls could use over and over again. The bath sponges were purchased from the Dollar Tree store. All five colors came in a pack for $1.00. That cost for each bath sponge is 20 cents.

This pattern cardstock is from a Martha Stewart paper pack. I stamped thank you on red tags and tied it on clear loot bags.

To make these you will need a scallop circle cut at 6 3/4 inch or a regular cicle. I cut (4)scallop circles on a 12 by 12 piece of cardstock. This scallop circle is from Cricut Mini Monograms and is on page #129 of handbook.

I used some glue to adhered scallop circle together in front. It should look like this one here. This pattern paper here is Recollections cardstock. The sponges are (5) in a pack, clear loot bags (25) in a pack with silver ties and the yellow gift wrapping raffia are from the Dollar Tree Store. Each item cost only $1.00. That is a great buy:) These make great party favors too. I hope my friend like what I came up with.

Here is a close up of the flower pens. I used pastel color for the flowers pens.

Here is a tutorial on how I put these together. You will need to purchase a bunch of flowers, some pens, glue gun and a wire cutter to cut the artificial flowers.

First I cut all the flowers down with the wire cutter and add glue to flower where ever need to keep artificial flowers together. Pull out the plastic piece in the top of pen. Fill the pen hole with a lot of hot glue and I mean a lot of hot glue. Stick the artificial cut flower down in top of pen hole and hold down until it glues.

Hope you all love my flower pen project for today. Have a wonderful week. Thank you all for looking:)

Decorate To Celebrate Guest Designer!!!!

Hello friends. Happy Wednesday to you all! I hope you're having a terrific day! I am so excited and honored to have been ask by Rhonda and Amy to be a Guest Designer for Decorate To Celebrate Challenge #4 Kids Party Theme. I decided to create a Princess for a day party theme for my daughter and one of her friends. Here is the decorations I made for the Princess party. I made a 3D Castle, party favor bag, crown and princess party invitations. I used my Gypsy for this project and I used the Once Upon a Princess Cartridge to create the decorations:)


Here is a close up of the Castle. I used glitter paper I purchase from Target and I had so much glitter all over my cutting mat and it was every where from this glitter paper. This little castle is so beautiful and makes a great decoration:)


I love the crown too! You can't have a princess party with out a crown.


My daughter wanted me to make some Princess bean bags and here they are. She loves to toss these little bean bags around. I made a tutorial to show how I made them.


You will need (2) 9 x 12inch felt sheets and some dry beans. Cut felt sheets to 4 by 4 inch squares. You can get (6) bean bags out of the (2) felt sheets.


Face the right side of felt sheets together and then sew about 1/4 inch around edges. Leave a open edge so it can be turned to the right side.


Here how it should looks when its turned to right side. The open edge where it not sewn is where the bean can be put in that opening.


I hand stitched the opening with invisible nylon thread.


I made a crown stencil with heavy card stock. The crown stencil is cut from Once upon a Princess cart. I placed the crown stencil on bean bag and sponge dabbed the purple puffy paint on the felt. I love how these bean bags turned out ;0)


Thank you Rhonda and Amy for asking me to be your Guest Designer. I had so much fun creating this princess party project. Thank you all for stopping by and looking. Have a terrific week everyone:)

Patriotic ribbon bracelets!!

Hello everyone. I hope you are having a great Thursday! It's very rainy and gloomy here. I made some of these patriotic ribbon bracelets last year in a different patriotic ribbon and gave them out at the 4Th Of July cookout. My daughter wanted me to make more of them for this year. I will be giving these out at this years cook out. I made them in size 7 in and 8 in and some small bracelets for the little children. This photo is my daughter showing off the bracelets on her wrist.


I used the i rock tool to set the silver gems on the red, white and blue bracelets. I've been using that tool a lot lately. Great tool to have for my projects:)


Here the Supplies and tool I used to make these bracelets. I purchased the eyelet and snap plier tool at Micheal's and ribbon too. These tool is a great tool to own. I used it on all my crafts. I love it:) The snaps I purchased at Walmart. I cut pieces of ribbon 7 in and 8 in long to make bracelets. I made some smaller for the children too. I applied clear finger nail polish to the ends of cut ribbons to keep it from fraying apart. All that matters it keeps it from fraying apart. Set the snaps in ribbon where you want them and you have a snap bracelet. This tool is easy to use. These make great gifts to give out and they can be made in any color ribbon you like;) I like these ribbon bracelets better then the plastic ones they are selling in the stores. I hope you all like this idea and you make some too:) Let me know what you think about it!
