Joann Brother Computerized Sewing Machine

 

If you are a crafter or sewer, the best time to order from Joann.com is when they have their almost free shipping sale. My local store is very small and I hate making the long drive to a nearby city to shop the bigger Joann store for what I need. Joann.com also has items that aren’t carried in stores on their website. Today, May 5, Joann.com is having $.05 flat rate shipping, which is almost free in my book. There are lots of sewing machines and other fun items that would be perfect for gifts too. All rubber stamps and pads are currently 40% and these Memento ink pads are my absolute favorite. I have them in a variety of colors.

Silhouette Cameo Owl

 

Silhouette America has a lot of bundle deal sales on Silhouette machines, but sometimes Amazon has an amazing price drop on Silhouette Cameos. The Silhouette Cameo machine is currently $205.95 with free shipping.

Affordable Teacher Gift Tea Double Walled Cup

 

Are you scrambling to find affordable gifts for Teacher Appreciation Week? I just love these double-walled cups and I made this one into an iced tea themed gift for around $5! I use these cups all summer long when I’m on the go and they wash up so nicely. You can fill them with water or any other beverage and I like that they are double-walled and don’t sweat. This one fits perfectly in the cup holder of my car too. This iced tea gift for teachers would make a great year-end gift too or if you have aids or other teaching staff to recognize these won’t break the bank. [Read more...]

Silhouette Portrait Machine Giveaway Plus Deals on Silhouette Portrait and Cameo Machine Bundles and Discounts on Vinyl #Giveaway

Monogramming with Silhouette Frosted Glass Vinyl

 

****Our giveaway is over, scroll down to see the WINNER of the Silhouette Portrait Machine. Enjoy the Silhouette discounts through April 26th****

 

Check out this fun project I made with Silhouette Frosted Glass vinyl.  This vinyl is made to look like the effects of using etching cream on glass, but without the mess. I made monogrammed hand soap and hand lotion set to fancy up our bathroom. I purchased this hand soap and lotion set at Homegoods store for $7.99, plus it came with a cute dish. I started by removing the labels. I peeled as much of the label as possible, by hand, and then I sprayed WD40 on the remainder of the label and glue to remove it. I carefully cleaned my bottles with rubbing alcohol to prepare them for the vinyl monogram. I quickly typed in my monogram to the Silhouette software, arranged the letters, welded them to make one piece and then cut my vinyl with my Silhouette Cameo. I used transfer tape to apply my monogram and wow, look at my pretty set! [Read more...]

DIY Hair Tie Tutorial with 3 Free Printable Tags and Free Template

DIY No Snag Hair Ties

 

I’m sure you have seen these no-snag hair ties at stores like Anthropologie, Sephora and Claire’s. They are great because they won’t cause breakage to your hair or leave big dents in your hair like regular hair rubber bands. They are made of fold over elastic, which is gentle to the hair and this type of elastic comes in so many fun colors, prints, and textures. I saw some of these hair ties at my local bookstore the other day for $11 for a 4-pack. It costs pennies to make these yourself, plus they are quick and easy to make. You can also attach beads or flowers to jazz them up or just leave them plain. If you scroll down, you can see a hair tie that I made for my daughter with a pretty silver, rhinestone-studded flower attached. They also double as a bracelet until you are ready to put your hair up in a pony. I made this pretty blue set for my good girlfriend and exercise buddy. We go walking together while our kids are at school and I know she will love these for walking and biking. I used the printable template to make a pretty card to hold this set of hair ties, put them in a cellophane bag, tied them with some twine and attached a fun tag. [Read more...]

Spa Sock Cupcake DIY Valentine's Wrapped

 

I just love making these spa sock cupcakes and who doesn’t like warm fuzzy socks? I wrapped this sock cupcake for my daughter’s teacher for Valentine’s Day, but you can make these for any holiday or occasion. These cute treats make great, inexpensive gifts for your kids’ teachers, for friends, bridal or baby showers, or even inexpensive party favors for your tween or teen’s birthday party. They are quick and easy to put together and I just love how they look wrapped in cellophane and tied with a pretty ribbon.
