I'm beginning to catch more of the crafting bug...I still don't have a sewing machine yet, so right now I'm limited to gluing and painting things.  Here are two project ideas I want to work on soon.

Since Maddy has a lot of hair that needs taming, I want to make some of these, they are the easiest to get into her hair in a hurry, or when having to do it repeatedly since she has learned to pull them out, and they stay in her hair pretty well.  Does anyone know where I can get a bag of plain silver snap clips?  Probably the 50mm size.  I have looked at Target and Walmart, Sally Beauty, and Hobby Lobby.  Hobby Lobby had like 6pk bags of them, but they were out of the 50mm size and I was hoping to get a better price for a bigger bag of them.  You can click on the picture if you'd like to learn how to make them yourself!


Isn't this too cute??  My sister spotted this and I wanna make it!  I'll probably do 3 in varying sizes.  Again I scoured the aisles of Hobby Lobby and asked 3 employees for help and they don't sell bags of buttons in separate color/size variations, only color themes.  I'm thinking Etsy might be the best place to find specific colors in bulk.  I figure I'll need like 200-300 per tree?  So if I do the 4 color plan as pictured I guess I'd need about 200 of each color, over estimating of course.  Anyone else have ideas or know where I might find buttons?  And let me know of other cute and easy craft ideas you've made or are planning to make!  I'm always up for more projects!  Key word is EASY!....and cute...

Those are so cute. I especially love the hair clips. I am going to try and attempt that craft....during all my free time. (HA!) They look so cute. As for where to get a bunch of clips I'm not sure.

Hey, cute crafts. Those kind of clips will probably work better in Maddy's hair now than what I made. Anyway as for more craft projects, I 'd suggest those pillowcase dresses I showed you, just google it and you'll find the instructions and pattern. K, now for the really important news.....I have a BLOG now!!!!! Yes, I know you might need a minute to compose yourself. So I'm assuming I told you we finally got high speed, so just for you I created a blog (and maybe a few other people). So check it out, it's a work in progress... but Maddy's on there. Love you
