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 I originally made them as a gift, but I am so freaking tempted to keep them for myself.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.

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.

The 2nd Day of Craftmas

On the second day of Craftmas, your blogger made for you....

One D20 Necklace:



For this I used:

15 Gauge Silver wire
Needlenose Pliers
D20

It was inspired by the necklace here from ThinkGeek, and it was my first attempt at wire work. I think if I redid them I would be happier with them, but I still think it turned out very nice.

See Ya Tomorrow!!
