Hedgehogs

I recently received my pom pom makers and
decided to try it out. So I looked for samples
to try and came across a picture of a pom pom
hedgehog (http://zakkalife.blogspot.com/2009

So decided to try it out. I made a bit of a change
to it by adding ears.

So voilà.... meet my 2 furry friends. As soon it
was finished my 2 year old son claimed the one
on the left... hahaha.... He would take it where
ever he goes, it's so cute!

Butterfly Flower Clip

I had just received my ribbon order
from "The Ribbon Retreat" and turned
my sample pieces into little butterflies
since they were too short to make bows.
I used some fabric and made some
flowers and attached the butterflies to
it and turned them into clips for my
daughter. :) She'll be having many new
clips when she starts school in September. ;)

Butterfly Clips

My daughter loves butterflies so I started to
try making some butterflies clippies for her.
These are a few of the ones I've made.

Pin Wheel flower clip

Experimenting with some new
ribbon I got and came up with
this.

Swarovski Crystal Bracelet

I bought a few packs of Swarovski crystals when they were on sale at Michaels a few weeks ago.
So far I put together 2 bracelets. All made with crystal beads and sterling silver wires, jump rings and chains. Here are pictures of the 2 bracelets I've made I hope you like them. :)

Organza Flower

For this project I decided to make some flowers out of the organza material that I found at the dollar store, I bought some not knowing what I will use them for but it turns out that it's great for making flowers. They come in rolls of different colours like the size of tulle's. In the near future I will post pictures of the various things that I've made with this material. For now we will start with the stacking organza flower.

Lets get started.

Double Strand Sliver Bead Bracelet

Michaels had a sale on 925 sterling silver findings and beads 2 weeks ago "buy 1 get the second for 1 cent" so of course I took an advantage of this great sale. Here's a picture of one of the bracelet I made with the silver beads stung with a silver chain. If you are interesting in making a silver bracelet or necklace for yourself, then look for the sales at Michaels, I've noticed these silver beads go on sale often... sometimes 2 for $8.. this week it's 40% off. I usually buy them when on sale otherwise it's $5.99 per pack.

Butterfly Kanzashi

After being so busy during Christmas and New Years it's time to get back to some crafts again.
I have taken step by step instructions of the butterfly Kanzashi that I had been working on for my daughter. The methods I've used might be different from how others make them. I used more of a fusing technique rather than gluing as you can see in the pictures.

Let's Get Started...



I've combined the butterfly with the previous fabric flower I made and this is how the clip turned out. It matched her Chinese New Year outfit perfectly. :)
