Cereal Box Book Marks - with GLITTER.

You know, I've seen cereal box bookmarks on Pinterest but don't ask me where. I thought it was a clever way of reusing cardboard so I thought I would give it go.

 So here is my interpretation of cereal box book marks.


cereal box book marks



I decided to use the width of the cereal box side. I made a template. 

 Sound weird? 

 I just thought it would make it easier for me to place the part of the image I wanted on the bookmark.

 I could have stopped there but that wouldn't be fun. You really can't see it in the photos but we coloured over them with our glitter gel pens. It made the colours vibrant and added a bit of glitter. And who doesn't love glitter right? 

 Hi, my name is Darlene and I am addicted to glitter.

 I then decided to round make the top and bottom of the book marks round. I don't know I like round better than square.

 I had to add some time of dangling things so I used my brand new hole punch. I love new toys.

 I tried a few different kinds of string but yarn turned out to look the best.


The hearts and circles were my first additions and I think my favorite.

 I added glitter stars to Toni and my daughter likes it best.

 hockey book marksI wanted to keep it simple for the hockey player book marks so I just added black yarn and tied it.

I think it's kinda cool that the these are two sided. One has the picture and the other has the stats.

 Actually all the book marks are two sided. I glued them together before I decorated them.
The second Lucky book mark has red yard. I unraveled the yard at the end and it kinda looks like a tassel. Maybe?

    I hadn't seen these on Pinterest before. I'm charmed ;) by them! You know I love a good recycling craft. Now I have to hold onto cereal boxes in addition to glass jars, plastic containers and coffee cans.

45+ T-Shirt Refashion Tutorials

Hi, so happy you decided to drop by. Okay, no small talk. Let's get right to the round up. It was a lot of work but I hope you think it was worth it. I tried to choose a variety of sew and no sew projects. Plus there is something for the whole family - sorry, except your hubbies. No offence guys. There just isn't anything out there. Back to the round up. Wondering why I wrote 45+ tutorials?  You probably already know. I didn't. Why would someone write a number then plus. Don't they know how many links they included? I think I finally figured it out. Light bulb! The plus sign is for those blogs that have several t-shirt refashions on their site. Is that right? Oh well that's my guess. Now back to the round up. Sorry one more thing. The links to the original blogs are all listed at the end of the round up. 45+ T-shirt Refashion Tutorials Links to the projects. How To Make a Fashion T-Sh

DIY Wind Chimes - Recycle Spoons

Image
Hi there. So glad you decided to stop by and check out my DIY wind chimes made from recycled spoons. I had to make something to meet the May Craft Challenge. And I was lucky enough to get all the supplies for under two dollars. Score! Bummer I din't finish it on time. My supplies include six spoons, fishing line, an old candle holder and a clip I had hiding in my stash of goodies. Since I don't have a drill or anything to make holes in the spoons to thread the fishing line through, I had to find a different way to hang my spoons.  If you look at the picture to the left, you can see the spoons are wrapped and tied with the fishing line. I decided to use the candle holder upside down. It just seemed to look better. I tied the spoons to the candle holder - the wind chime base. Then tied the line around the candle holder feet and finally pulled them altogether and tied a knot. If you liked this post, pleas
