Being Crafty

Summertime allows for me to do one of my very favorite things: make crafts! I have made a few crafty things for my house and school. Thought I would share my newest creations.

For my house:
I made these for my kitchen. I just used scrapbooking paper and a Cricut. Inspired by the "Eat, Pray, Love" idea, especially for the kitchen, I wanted them to be in the order of importance.

I painted this back in March for Sarah Slusher's birthday party at Mad Potter. I finally bought a plate hanger and put it above my stove. The flower design I created was inspiration for the following project.

I rearranged my kitchen furniture and then had a very bare wall. I decided to make my own painting instead of searching for and buying something I liked. I wanted the fruits of the spirit displayed to remind me of living them out.

For school:
This was a Pinterest idea. My parents helped me put them all together. We made crate seats! And they're multi-purposeful in that books (Smart Stacks) can be stored inside when the top lifts off with the cute little ribbon handle. There is foam on the top to make it a soft seat the kids can sit on in the reading center. My room is polka-dot themed (black background with primary colors).

Another Pinterest inspired idea. Some teachers at school made these and I loved it!!! I love being organized and this is just the thing needed for all the little office supplies that float around the desk and cabinets. This was a tool organizer (for nails, screws, etc) that was blue and I spray painted it black (with plastic spray paint). I cut out card stock to fit right inside the drawers and printed off the labels from a blog.

Made my own dry erase board! Dry erase markers wipe off of glass and mirrors. I used a simple picture frame, some card stock and stickers, and ta-da! Marker board!

I made one for my assistant, too!

Here it is in use. :)

I have one more idea of something I'm making for school and some artwork for my living room. I'll add those pictures to the collection once they're complete.
