Craftmas day 8: Glove Love

We are getting close to the end my friends, the end.

Today's fare is another pair of gloves.



I love mittens, but I hate the fact that your fingers are pretty much useless when you have them on. My step-dad has a pair where the top folds back, and I had another "I could do that," moment. I made a pair for Brad, but I also made a couple of pair for my step-brothers. Brad didn't want a thumb, but all the rest of them have one.

They are all warmbly-warm, and I want a pair for myself. Once I get through making the rest of my presents for Christmas, I am probably going to make a pair.

Also if you want your own pair, just let me know. They are 10.00 a pair, and you can pick your color.

Ciao people.

7th Day of Craftmas: Warm hands for cold hearts

For the 7th day of craftmas your blogger made for you:

2 plush hand warmers:


Please ignore the awful dirtiness of my desk.

To make this I used:
A skein of 6 weight yarn
A 10 gauge crochet hook

They are incredibly warm and comfy. I originally made them as a gift, but I am so freaking tempted to keep them for myself.
I will probably still give them away.
Maybe.

The 12 days of Craftblargh...

So, I am sick. The kind of sick where you get nauseated at food commercials. No update today.

6th Day of Craftmas: Thinking inside the box

Yesterday's craft was pretty easy, so today I thought I would post something that was a bit more complicated. I saw a box somewhat like this at my local Romancing the Stone, and I was like "I could do that." Unfortunately I didn't think to take a picture, and the box is not available online, but it was pretty sweet.

Here it is:



To Make This I Used:
Two thrift store keyboards
Hot glue gun
Left over pages from a book

What do you think?

See you tomorrow.

5th Day of Craftmas: Boxes

Today's big heaping helping of crafts of the day is a re-boxing. We went to a thrift store a few days ago and picked up a box with some neat triangle dominoes. The box was atrocious, all brass and brown plastic and awfulness, but I still wanted to use it, and keep the dominoes.

I came up with this:


It was super simple too.
To make this I used:
An ugly, ugly box
An unwanted book
Glue

See you tomorrow folks.

4th Day of Craftmas

4th Day of Craftmas is upon us ladies and gents, and I am really loving it. Yeah, I had most of the crafts done before hand, but I am really enjoying making stuff. Especially the jewelry. It is relaxing to do.

So here is the third days offering:


To make this I used:

20 gauge copper wire
Found chain that Brad found
Found copper wire
Misc. beads

I was both recycling and making something pretty at the same time.
I am thinking about starting an Etsy page, what do you guys think?

See Ya Tomorrow.
