Feeling crafty
I lost my crafty mojo after all of the Christmas ornaments I painted. It started creeping back a few weeks ago. I attended a Premier Jewelry party. There were all sorts of pretty bracelets and necklaces and rings and earrings – many that I would have happily bought if funds were unlimited. As I was browsing, I realized that many of the items would be relatively simple to make. I could find some neat beads and capture the spirit of the pieces rather than replicate them exactly. I did look at several items that I wouldn’t be able to make myself and settled on a lovely necklace to call my own. But a couple of days later, I found myself at Micheal’s to use up a gift card and then Hobby Lobby for bigger crimping beads. The bracelet pictured is one I made after the Premier party.
While at Hobby Lobby, I saw these letters on sale (either for $.99 or $1.50 – I don’t recall). I thought I would pick them up for the girls and see what I could do with all of the paint I have in my craft drawer that I bought thinking I could use it on the ornaments. I also knew I had some glossy top coat spray I could finish them with so I was in business. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with them and they turned out completely different. Sabrina’s is rather simple and whimsical and Tessa’s is a less so. I hung them on their doors with some extra double sided 3M sticky stuff that you use for the removable hooks (we rent and I didn’t want to put holes in the doors). I had trouble getting a good photo of them but here are the finished products.
OMG I love the letters!!! How long did they take you? I bet you could sell those! Too cute! Love the bracelet too BTW!
them letters are cute as hell.
You are very crafty Michelle. Love the colors, style of the letters and your designs too. I bet you could sell them. Etsy!
You should think about selling them!!! THey came out so good
Those are wonderful! I love that they are not your basic shaped letter like you find at Walmart. And you did an AMAZING job painting them.
Wow, I’m impressed.
