“Letter Tile Coasters” #TBCCrafters Hop I remember years ago that you would always see the letter game at thrift stores, etc. Now, of course, when I want to use that for a craft, I can find none anywhere, nobody is willing to give one up and people online are asking crazy amounts for this simple game. Weird. I finally posted a ISO on the local […]
“Oil Reed Diffuser” #TBCCrafters Hop *I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample for review purposes. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.* I am a member of a review site and recently got picked to review the new Apothecary Tea Tree Oil. I figured, what better way to review it, then to craft with […]
Learn How to Make a “Simple Towel Basket” for your Bathroom If you’ve ever had guests over and got that familiar “Where are the towels?” scream from your bathroom, this is the craft for you! I always love to have extra towels and washcloths out for my guests, but just having them sitting on the counter can get cluttered and you worry about which ones […]
How To Make a Harvest Wreath For Fall Decor #TBCCraftersHop #Craft I can’t believe that Fall is almost here. Up here in the White Mountains of Arizona, it is definitely my favorite time of year. The leaves will start changing and the smell in the air is just different. It’s hard to describe, but you can just tell when Fall is starting up here in the […]
Learn How to Make Some Fabric Apples #Craft #TBCCraftersHop I saw something like this on Moda Bake Shop‘s blog and thought it would be fun to do it a bit different. I figured with the weather starting to change and Autumn getting oh so close, that making apples would go well with the time of year, and be perfect to decorate the home with. I always have some […]
Recycle Your Soda Into a Plastic Bottle Vase I love to make things from things that usually end up in the trash. I saw something like this on a wiki site and thought it would be fun to try. It’s pretty easy to do and would be awesome with colored bottles, etc. I used mine for a pencil holder and a vase, so it would be […]
“Make Your Own Earrings” #TBCCrafters Hop I saw a project like this on LauraBrayDesigns and thought it would be fun to take the idea and make it into something new. Living in the mountains, we only have a few places to buy jewelry and it’s either too expensive, or not even worth the money. I’m not one to stick with the “styles” and don’t want […]
“Dock-It Pocket” #TBCCrafters Hop Okay, raising of hands, who here is tired of plugging their phone into the wall, etc and having it and/or the cord hanging there all messy? Okay, I see you….and you…… Now, raise your hand if you want a new way to fix that problem? Sweet, I see a lot of hands!! ha/ha Sorry, now that school has started, I’m thinking […]
Make a “Back to School Cake” For Your Teacher Well, my son started 8th grade on Tuesday – crazy!!! He goes to a private Christian school here in the White Mountains of AZ, and with the budgets and issues with supplies, etc., our school sends out a list of things to purchase for the school year and ideas of things if you’d like to donate […]
How To Make a “Terra-Cotta Table“ #TBCCrafters Hop I get the Lowes Creative Ideas magazine and love it!! There are always some great ideas for indoor and outdoor and you can pick according to your budget. I saw this one a long time ago and never had a chance to put it together. Figure with the weather still nice here in the mountains of AZ, it […]
How To Build a “Repurposed Building Block Table“ I saw something like this on Pinterest, and thought it was adorable. I went around to local thrift shops looking for one of these tables. Probably should have gone to an antique shop, since these were popular when I was little! 🙂 I finally found someone on a local FB selling page that had one for only […]
Create Your Own Rose Candle Holders #TBCCrafters Hop I am still getting back to normal life following our vacation to CA. Wow, that was a long drive. We were able to visit the beautiful Moss Landing area, Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Winchester Mystery House, and our son got to have a great time at the beach – even though the water was FREEZING!! ha/ha Here are […]
“Ribbon Star Craft” #TBCCrafters Hop I know that the 4th of July was last week, but I saw a thing like this in the Martha Stewart magazine and thought it would be great to share. You could use this for any time of the year and add whatever you wanted to it, so it could really be for all seasons. It’s really easy to make […]
“4th of July Celebration Popper” TBC CRAFTER’S HOP (#TBCCRAFTERS) – 07/03/2014 I made this 4th of July Celebration Popper last year and just wanted to share it again. This is just an old plastic water bottle that you can recycle to turn into fun. Just make sure you’re using recyclable materials to pop out and none that will just leave trash in places you don’t […]
“Ladybug Bowling Ball” #TBCCrafters Hop I’ve seen things like this on a lot of sites and found a really great one on Love, Pomegranate House‘s website. Thought it would be fun to try out. My husband had his old bowling ball in the garage sale box, since the holes just didn’t fit his hands anymore. I asked him if I could use it for this project […]
Create a “Watermelon BBQ” For Your Party! Now I know this isn’t what you usually would see on a craft site, but I figured it was a way of turning fruit into decor. I’ve seen things like this online and on the Rachael Ray show, but never tried it myself. Watermelons were on sale at Safeway the other day, so I figured it would be […]
Make Something Yummy for a “Father’s Day Gift” I lost my Dad when I was 17, so Father’s Day can be a sad day for me, sometimes. I am blessed to have a wonderful husband, however, that I can celebrate being an amazing Dad to our son. Like they say “Anyone can be a Father, it takes someone special to be a Dad!”, and that […]
“Upcycled Solar Chandelier” #TBCCrafters Hop I saw some pin a project like this on Pinterest and figured it would be a pretty easy project to take on. I found a beat up old chandelier at the local thrift store (helping out the animals when crafting 😀 ) and thought it would be perfect to make into this creation. You only need as many lights as […]
“Punched Flowers” #TBCCrafters Hop I saw something like this on the Fiskars website and thought it would be fun to try out. I have so many different punches and wanted to learn how to use them and what I could make. When I saw this, I thought of many ways I could use the final product. Turned out to be pretty easy to do, once […]
“Homemade Glow Bottle” #TBCCrafters Hop I saw something like this online and figured it would be fun to try. How many time did you love to play with glow sticks when you were little? They were always a “thing” for us – fun and usually only available around the 4th of July. Now you can get them almost any time of year, plus I found […]
