Quick Craft

My sister told me about creating a new candle out of other old candles.  I made this one in about 15 minutes.

I separated each color of wax first.  I put the first color in a cleaned out aluminum can.  I boiled a little water on the stove and put the can inside (double boiler).

Next, I poured the wax into a jar.  Once it set up a little bit I placed half of an old candlestick in the wax to use as a wick.

I waited until the first color was set up and melted the next color.  Then, I poured it in and repeated one last time.

I like it and it was quick simple crafting fun!

 

Easy DIY Bachelorette Party Buttons

Being a maid of honor can get expensive.  For my best friend's bachelorette party I wanted to have all the cute things without spending too much money.  I had so much fun making these buttons and the girls wore them out when we celebrated.  You could even personalize buttons even more with names of the bride/bridesmaids. 

All that you will need:

Buttons, scrapbook paper, wedding stickers and rhinestone stickers.  

 

 

  

Cut the paper into circles big enough for the buttons, cut out words from bachelorette party scrapbook paper and use wedding quotes stickers.  This was fun and easy!

The Party Table Setting

Ice Cream Bridal Shower

What better way to end the summer than an ice cream social! 

This was a great themed shower and would also be perfect for birthday parties or baby showers. 

The Invitation

 

 

 

The easiest way to create a silhouette template like this ice cream cone is to search for a picture online, hold up a piece of white paper to the computer screen, trace and cut it out. 

 

Use adhesive cardstock to make the cone and ice cream, it is so much easier than a glue stick!

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

A very simple shower

 

My favorite parts are the invitations, banner and flower arrangement.

 

 

 

 

I bought the flowers at a local grocery store, the cone cup at a garage sale and I placed the flowers in one of those green spongy things for flowers that you can get at craft stores.

I also bought these cups at a garage sale and decided to use the creamer dishes for chocolate syrup and caramel sauce. 

Ice cream cone balloons.  I learned this from pinterest.  Roll up construction paper and tape it on to balloons to look like ice cream cones. 

One of the favors:  a cookie cutter.

"Who knows the Bride Best?" Game

I bought Neapolitan and vanilla ice cream.  Overall, I think that the party was a success!





 

Back to School Again!

Well, I haven't had a chance to craft all summer and finally here is my tiny project that took me less than 20 minutes and 1 dollar:

Bathroom Pass

Of course there had to be some English on the pass too so other teachers can understand what it is. 

I went to Michael's tonight and bought this little wooden plaque for 50 cents

1.  Trace black adhesive cardstock and stick it onto the wood

2.  Stick letters onto the cardstock

3.  Cover with a layer of Mod Podge

4.  Use a staple gun to attach the ribbon to the back

5.  Hang in your classroom!

SO EASY!
