Lego Keychain/Holder

Once again, this post is all because of Pinterest.

My dad drilled holes in the legos for me, I added key rings, and.. finished!


It hangs right next to the door, so it's pretty much impossible for anyone to forget their keys.. :)


In this picture ^ you can see my latest project, the ASL "I love you" hand. :)










Bows

I learn a lot from pinterest... :)
I learned how to make hair bows. ..So I made bows. Lots of bows.
So simple. Crochet a rectangle and wrap the center with the yarn.
That easy and super cute.

No-Sew Vest

Spring break is just wonderful! It has been so warm and sunny and I love it.  

I have been in a very crafty mood. Here's project #2. Even easier and quicker than the last one!
 (Sorry I only had a phone camera with me.)

No-Sew vest.

1. Another old/cheap/D.I./hand-me-down shirt/whatever you want to use.
2. Cut straight up the front, and cut off the neckline.
3. Cut off the sleeves. (Cut a little bit lower under the arm to to widen the sleeve hole.)
4. Cut the back of the sleeve holes in further.
5. Use a strip of the extra sleeve fabric to tie the back together.
All done! Quick, no-sew vest! :)

$4 DIY Scarf

I <3 Pinterest.

1. Pin every cute DIY craft.
2. Finally decide which one you're actually going to make.
3. Take a trip to DI.
4. $4.00 later...

T-shirt Scarf!


 
DIY:
1. You need old t-shirts. Men's or Women's. D.I. or hand-me-down or old stuff in your closet.
2. Four colors that look cute together. (Or I'm sure you could use 3 or 5 or however many different colors you want.)
3. Cut off the bottom hem, and cut 8 strips up to the armpits. (Mine were about 1 3/4 - 2 in. wide, depending on how long the shirt was.)
4.  Using the top of the shirts, cut 8 rectangles out of each. (Mine were about 7 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches. You don't have to be that specific.. that's just how I am.)
5. Now you should have 32 big loops and 32 small rectangles.
6. Take your big loops and stretch them out as much as you can! Mine are different lengths because of the types of fabric, but it doesn't matter.
7. Wrap them all around your hand.
8. Now you should have 32 stretched and wrapped circles. 
9. Plan out your color order, and tie them together with the small rectangles!
10. All done! Easy as that. :D
