Day 312 November 15 personalized clue game

I remade a Clue Game into a "Hinds Haven't got a Clue Game".  I took an old clue board and made the rooms into rooms that go with my family.. craft room, movie room, family room,etc.  The five people are now family members and the weapons are more pertinent to my family.. wine bottle, paint brush, computer bug, etc.   I made the cards being careful that the backs looked the same and the score sheets.   It is very very cool and fun to play.

Day 311 November 14 can flag

A little late for Veteran's Day, but isn't every day Veteran's Day?   A cardboard box,  some aluminum cans,  and some glue and paint come together to make this cool American flag. 

Day 310 November 13 magazine envelopes

I took an envelope and opened it up to use as a pattern.  Then I cut the shape out of magazine pages and put them together.  They can be lined with any kind of paper too.  Great for the holidays.

Day 309 November 12 rice bag bucket bag

Okay so I changed a bag into a bag.. but it is still way different.  My friend Lisa feeds her dogs rice so she has these great rice bags.  They even have a zipper.  I deconstructed it and used it for the outside of this bucket bag.  I made a pocket where the zipper is.  Very cool.

Day 308 November 11 leg warmers

I put these over boots but they can be worn just for kicking back at home.  All I did was cut a felted sweater -washed to shrink- and sewed it up to make a tube.  You could cut the sleeves off a felted sweater and make a no-sew version but this sweater was a child's size and the sleeves were too small.

Day 307 November 10 toilet paper roll guys

I saw some faces out of toilet paper rolls done and so I thought I would try it.  It is not as easy as it looked.  His turned out much better, but it was fun and I think I did okay.  They look a bit like Easter Island rocks.

Day 306 November 9 twine basket

I crocheted this little basket with a really big hook and some thick twine.  Then I added some beads that I made from cardboard and paper.  Cute.

Day 305 November 8 pop tab bracelet

This is so easy and really fun to make.  It is just pop tabs woven together with some hemp cord.

Day 304 November 7 drink bottle cubby

This would be great in the bathroom for keeping magazines.  I used three drink bottles and cut off the tops and covered the rim of the open ends with duct tape.  I then glued them together and wrapped some twine around them leaveing a loop to hang it with.  It could be used for sorting mail or important papers too.

Day 303 November 6 kristins bouquet

I made the bridal bouquet for my son's wedding.  My mew daughter-in-law loved it.  I made a whole lot of small kusidama flowers and put them on wires.  Then I put some gold and sparkly brooches that I found at garage sales and thrift stores and where ever I could find them and put them on wires.  When I put it together it was a round ball shape and then I wrapped the wires with a strip of gold cloth.  Gorgeous!!

Day 302 November 5 twisted nedklace

I like to make pendants and I need something to hang them from.  I made this necklace and bracelet by ripping a thin strip of scrap material and twisting it until it twists on itself.  Then I knotted it and added a button.  The other end is a natural loop for the button.  You could put several together if you needed a longer one.

Day 301 November 4 rolled bead ornament

I took some of the paper beads I rolled and put them together with wire and some beads.  It is getting to be time to think of Christmas and these would look good on the tree.

Day 300 November 3 easy paper garland

This is the easiest garland ever.  I punched circles from some old postcards and them punched little holes to string them.  Great for small children.  Just punch bigger holes for stringing and any paper will work.

Day 299 November 2 t-shirt flowers

I will just say it again.  I love t-shirt material.  A little twisting and gluing and I embellished some clutches with some pretty flowers.

Day 298 November 1 bag lady dress

Halloween is over but this costume was a hit.  The Bag Lady's dress is made of fused plastic bags sewn together.  I added a paper bag hat and tea bag earrings.  Cost?  $0.00
