Gift Tags

Well as my usual crafting fun time, I took a class and decided to learn some new ways of recycling idea's, maybe there was something out there I didn't know or haveen't done, and well it was something I haven't seen or done, and we made these cute tags from toilet paper tubes, yes that's right, toilet paper tubes, once emptied, not only can you turn these into scrapbooks and mementoes with pictures and notes, but give these to friends and family, add to gift  bags or just share with friends. I found a great site to give you a good tutorials on these. wish I had found these before the class.lol but it was fun. and not expensive only $5.00 plus $3.00 for pictures, but I  had fun!! anyways here is what I made, grab those tubes and get to crafting making these tubes. I started using paper towels tubes as well, little smaller but just the same. all you need is some scrapbook paper and or wrapping paper and glue sticks or glue dots/runner , paper cutter and your ready to get started, don't for get your hole puncher and or crop-a-dile for making holes or add your grommets as well for sturdier holding when adding binder rings. have fun!!!

The materials needed for this are in photo below.

Toilet paper tube, ironed flat,(avery) glue stick, your choice of scrapbook papers orgift wrapping paper, ribbon, a garment tag, or you can make your own, a hole punch and scissors.

Paper Flower Magnets

My typical sunday of course is to sit and craft with my daughter, and while out and about we seen these cute adorable paper flowers at michaels craft stores. we have seen them before and have actually bought some. but used them in scrapbooking, but today we have decided to make some cute magnets with scrapbook paper and paper flowers and a laminating machine.  There is nothing like sundays, peaceful,quiet time to sit chit chat and just crft your heart away. so we share this craft with you and hope you enjoy it.

Atlas map wallets

Kids enjoy these wallets, easy fast and fun to make and create, you can use magazine pages, use up those old maps and atlas's, or even use a kids coloring page. laminate if you like, more durable and last longer, add some stickers, beads to enhance it. and you get a fun friendly wallet. I was introduced this craft by a family friend, and she told me to do a google search on them because I just couldn't understand how she made them. and after seeing different difficult ways to make them, the more she taught me this,the more I got the hang of it, and  now my kids have several and make them and give them to their friends. they even make great ATC holders.they hold 4 in each pocket.

this is our latest for our travel trip were planning on going soon. they  have even traded other wallets made from other materials as well. but youhave to love the wallets made from any kind of paper. even scrapbook paper.You can find instructions for these and other wallets on Youtube, different people give nice instructions on how to make these. Have fun!!!!!!
