DIY Celtic Headbands

October 20, 2015 By Emily Gammon Leave a Comment

After making the recycled t-shirt headband, I found an even better idea for braiding Celtic Headbands!  You can read excellent directions for making them here.  The only changes I made were cutting my strips 3″ wide, and I used a sewing machine instead of hot glue to attach my ends.  Here’s a picture of my headbands using the 1″ and 3″ widths.  I’ll be giving these to my niece and great niece!

DIY Spooky Halloween Party Decoration

October 18, 2015 By Christina Gammon Leave a Comment

These Halloween Party Decorations will be super spooky and fun to make! First things first – do NOT eat the trees! There is a wire in them. (Gulp!) Everything else is edible. These are yummy and adorable Halloween centerpieces! The original post says they are not edible; however, it’s because of the black wire they used. Instead of black wire, I twisted my trees together and then used black electrical tape to tie it together.DIY Spooky Halloween Decoration [Read more…]

It’s so windy, your clothes dry in a few hours out on the line. Because of  your response on Facebook it made me push Emily to make one. She’s the crafty one. Below is Emily’s instruction and design.

Banded Bookmarks

Banded Bookmark

Awhile ago I saw a pin on Pinterest for how to make your own fabric bookmarks using every day items like buttons and hair ties and scraps of cloth.  I should have pinned it. I didn’t. I thought about it this morning as I went to put my book down and decided to make up my own design.  It’s easy, fun, and limited only to your imagination!  Think quick DIY gift idea or easy craft with youngsters or for book lovers… Birthday party craft…  Rainy day project…  You get the idea!
