Cheers to August!

Thanks for joining us for the August Pumpkin Challenge! I had a lot of fun playing with this kit! As you can see above, I made the tag to resemble a tea bag. I think it turned out pretty cute! I hope you will share your creations with us over at the My Pumpkin Challenge ! Next week will will start a brand new Challenge! Thanks for stopping by. It makes me happy to see how we all change up the kits. Keep on creating!

CPC: Box of Bangles Gift Set!

It’s time to do some upcycling!  Let’s turn some water bottles into wearable jewelry!  In this month’s project we are going to create Bohemian bangles and earrings using a plastic water bottle.  We will walk you through the simple steps to make this fun, wearable jewelry and we will also create a pretty gift box to hold the jewelry and a card for gift giving.  That water bottle in your recycle bin is waiting to be transformed!  Let’s get started! This unique project was created by Michelle Wecksler . To see this tutorial, head over to Craft Project Central and subscribe to the August projects. There are so many wonderful projects. If you have a moment, head over and leave Michelle a comment on her project! Thanks for stopping by!
