So the baker’s costume will work for some events but a girls gotta have options. So I also created this recycled umbrella jelly fish costume.

With Fall fast approaching that means the holidays are right on our heels. During the Fall and into Winter I love hanging wreaths around the house. I prefer fun, funky non-traditional wreaths though. This week I created a wreath using vintage pillowcases cut into strips and tee-shirt yarn to wrap a wreath form that I picked up for a buck at my local dollar store. Then I used the same materials plus some hot pink rope on the Provo Craft Knifty Knitter (smallest size Flower Loom) to make flowers for the base of the wreath. I am so excited about using thrifted recycled materials, bright colors and flowers. Click here for the complete tutorial: T-Shirt Yarn Wreath Happy Crafting xoxo Lovely Lula

Shopping around in a thrift store recently I found this great little frame and knew it had potential for a redo! I used the Provo Craft Cindy Loo Cartridge to cute up this little picture frame. I used purple, grey and teal vinyl to cut different images on the Cricut. I used left over vinyl pieces to cut the grass and bird house hanger, by hand. I also cut apart the doily into pieces to create something truly my own! I like to mess with the designs a bit to put my own spin on them! You can make this project with any of the cartridges and any color combination of vinyl. For your best bet choose a glass or plastic frame – the vinyl will stick best to those surfaces. Click here for the Vinyl Picture Frame How To. Have fun with it and happy crafting! xoxo
To say I am loving the T-shirt yarn would be an understatement. I made a T-shirt yarn bracelet to go with the ring I made the other day. If you haven’t made T-Shirt yarn before purchase one of my T-shirt Yarn Kits click HERE to shop. Once you’ve made the yarn then it is really just a matter of selecting what color to work with and then deciding on how large you would like your topper flower to be in both height and width. After that you follow the How To provided Here: T-Shirt Yarn Bracelet Allow for a little drying time and then you are off and running with your wrist decoration. Enjoy! xoxo LL
