Barbie sez, don’t drink and craft
Jun 13
From: Notagirlymom A while back, I had this insane idea I was going to make a faaaaabulous one-of-a-kind fairy/elf-like doll from an old Barbie that I’d picked up at a garage sale. She was in decent shape, aside from her toes which had been chewed off (seems to happen a lot) but I figured I could fix that with a pair of boots or something. I never got around to it. I think I got...
Christmas in June: Santa Garcia Fail
Jun 01
I made this guy two years ago, but I guess I just never got around to sharing him with you. He was supposed to be a Dollar Store Craft project for Christmas, but he was just so odd that he never went anywhere (except on my tree… and then into the xmas decoration box, and then back on my tree the next year!) I bought a pair of red chenille gloves at the dollar store and my idea was to make...
Earth Day – Epic Trash Makeovers!
May 27
Recently our local library celebrated Earth Month by having kids make crafts out of, well, out of garbage basically. To inspire the upcoming generation to save the planet, little library patrons made “juice box birdhouses” and “recyclebots” and “bottle bugs” out of, oh you know, bottles and stuff. So the kids had fun and maybe learned about recycling; the...
You look like an Amish Pippi Longstocking or something

Next I decided to weave yarn into the “runs”, a rainbow of yarn! Weaving the yarn took...
Failed Attempt at a Duct Tape Rose
Jul 07
My boyfriend finally popped the question a few weeks ago, and we’re planning a wedding for September 18th. We’re perpetually broke (who isn’t these days) so, in order to save money, this is going to be very much a DIY affair. One of the first projects I decided to tackle was the bridal bouquets. At first, I thought I would use sil flowers because I was certain that they...
Bird House/Church/Bordello. With Glitter.
Dec 01
What we have here is something that I would highly recommend that you not make as a Christmas gift. That is, unless you think you can do a better job than me. Which, given the enormity of this fail, is not entirely out of the realm of possibility. I like to call it The Best Little Birdie Bordello In The Midwest! Because, really, that’s what it is. The thing was so hideous that I took...
