With so many crafters now having a Cricut or Silhouette vinyl cutting machines, we are always on the lookout for new project ideas.
If you want to add a bit of colour and fun to your dog’s collar this post is for you. Our kids are all grown up and have flown the coup so our cute little Jack Russels have become the next victims for my craft projects. This month the topic for the Int’l Bloggers Club was “Flannel”. I made my dogs these cute Flannel dog bandannas using an old flannel shirt.
It is time again for our International Bloggers Club (IBC), and this month the topic was to make a project using toilet roll. I must admit this project was a real challenge for me, trying to come up with something unique using toilet paper was no easy task. The outcome was an oriental canvas decorated using toilet roll. The little Buddha statue sums up how I felt about this project.
If you are interested in starting a small business from home the Cricut Vinyl cutter is a great investment. There are so many uses for this machine it is incredible. The first project I tried was these novelty glitter wine glasses. They were so easy to do and are very popular, so you will not have a problem selling them. I did some research on which vinyl cutter to buy, and it came down to two machines.
If you are anything like me your pets are part of the family and you try and make life as good for them as you do for yourself. This is why I created this automatic pet cold water feeder. Summers in Australia can get really hot so they need more water than they do in the winter. I have tried putting out another bowl of water but they will not drink it. I would come home from work and their water bowl would be drier than Gandi’s flip flop. It was heartbreaking not knowing how long they had no water for. I had tried a few different bowls but nothing worked. (Spoilt Brats)
I am an aged care nurse in a care home and I also cover the position of the activities officer when she goes on holiday. Because I knew I was going to be doing it for a month, I wanted to try and make a new game for them to play that was interactive as well as fun. That is where the idea came for the horse racing game.
This chair was a little experiment for me. I was making a lamp out of a stump of wood and had just finished applying the varnish when the postman came with a delivery. It turned out to be the mica powder that I had ordered to add to an epoxy resin project I had in mind. So excited with my delivery I had to open it straight away. The sender had added so much tape to the package to keep it secure that I had to use a knife to get into it. Well, the knife went through a packet of blue mica powder sending it everywhere. The powder landed on my wet varnish, I quickly brushed it away and it spread all over my project. This was one of those happy mistakes because the effect was beautiful.
