Two more duct tape projects

Ok.  I'm sure you guys are getting sick of my duct tape projects so I'll try to keep them to a minimum but I do have two more to share with you guys.  The other night I made a little coin pouch for my daughter to keep her popcorn money in for school and tonight she hit me up to finally make her a cute little duct tape purse.  So here are both of Reina's new duct tape fashion items.  I'm really loving making purses from this tape- it's fun and there are SO many possibilities!  I saw some really cool duct tape the other day at JoAnn's but unfortunately the pocketbook wouldn't allow me to spend the $6.99 a roll for it but it sure did have some pretty patterns to it.

Well, here are the two new projects.  Have a great night!

Last tape purse of the night- I promise

Ok- this is my last duct tape purse for the night, I promise.  I made what is now my favorite one so far using zebra print duct tape along with silver and black.  Turned out pretty darn cute!  Thanks for putting up with all my posts about duct tape purses- I promise one of these days I'll post about something else.  Sometime soon I'll be starting on a Halloween project for my daughter's classmates so hopefully within a week or so I'll be posting pictures of that.  Have a great weekend, my friends.

I'm becoming a duct tape addict!

Hello again!  Well, just like the title says- I'm becoming a duct tape addict!  I'm loving these duct tape purses!  I'm sure that by the time my fascination with duct tape wears off, I'll have more duct tape purses than I know what to do with- but for now, I'm enjoying it!  Here is my latest creation.  This one is my favorite so far!


Happy Crafting!

Another duct tape purse!

OMG!  I am having way too much fun with duct tape!  I found another set of instructions online this evening and made another duct tape purse!  This one is different than the one I made last night- it has fabric lining instead of more tape and it's a little bigger than the one I made last night.  Still need to find a snap or velcro for the closure flap but I think it turned out pretty good considering this is something I just started doing last night!  I'm loving these purses- at the rate I'm going, I can have a nicely priced purse to go with just about every outfit I own!

Have a good night, my friends!  Happy crafting!

Duct tape purse!

Hello happy people!  How is everyone doing this evening?  As for me- peachy!  America's Next Top Model is back on (my most favorite of all shows) and tonight is also a new episode of Operation Repo; my kiddo is doing great in school and even got a happy face on her paper today, she finished her homework with no fussing (can you believe it, homework in Kindergarten!); and my honey is as sweet as ever!  So life is good around here!


Here is my latest project- a duct tape purse!  I first saw the idea in a class calendar for JoAnn's but found some instructions online and when a friend from work saw it, she started asking me to make one for her.  Finally decided to break down and buy some duct tape and it was actually a little easier than I expected it to be!  Even though there are a few flaws in it, the lining on the inside was able to hide most of them!  Don't have a picture of the inside but it's lined with blue duct tape.  The opposite side of the purse has more of the lime green and teal tape.  The whole thing turned out pretty cute and for a first effort, I'm quite proud of it!


Anyway- I hope everyone is doing well. Have a great night!

Plastic Canvas spinner

Good evening friends!  How is everyone this evening?  Good, I hope.  Well, here is my latest creation- a spinner for my porch!  I never could get the pieces to connect the way the directions said but that's ok because I left it undone at the bottom and did it my way and I think it turned out pretty darn cool this way.  I have yet to see a real good wind hit it and make it really spin but it's still pretty.

Well, better get off here- I have a 5-year-old that I'm trying to convince that it's bedtime and it's turning into a bit of a battle.  Have a great night, friends!

Sharpie Tie Dye #2

Ok, here is the second sharpie tie-dye attempt.  This one I made a bunch of ovals on it and Reina and I both colored them in- I think I should've outlined the ovals in different colors because once the colors bled, it ended up with a bit of a purple overload.  But it still turned out awesome and I'm loving the fact that whenever I wear it, I'm wearing Reina's hand print in the middle.  And even though you can't read it once the colors bled, the blue oval at the bottom of her hand print, she wrote her name in it.  So this is definitely a project to be proud of- my angel and I made it together!


I hope everyone has a safe holiday tomorrow!

Sharpie Tie-Dye #1

My daughter and I had fun last night trying a little experiment from something I saw on Pinterest.  We tie dyed a t-shirt using sharpie markers (actually they were permanent Bic markers).  My daughter thought it was awesome get to use a permanent marker and color on clothes and not get fussed at for it!  Here is our pre-end result.  We still have to heat set it and wash it to see how the ink sets.  I'll try to get a shot sometime soon of her wearing it so it looks a little better than it does just laying on my stove.


Enjoy!

Been M.I.A. for a while but I'm back!

Hey guys!  Sorry I've been M.I.A. for so long!  I had kinda lost my creative bug for a while- but I'm back now! Whatever was going on to make me lose my passion for crafting has gone away and I'm slowly but surely getting back to business!  I'll be posting some pictures later of something my daughter and I made last night and probably be posting again later today after we make a second project!


Thanks for hanging in there with me!  Love you all!
Chris
