Make This Anthropologie Inspired Flag Bunting Necklace

I am totally in LOVE with this tutorial for this Anthropologie inspired necklace.
(After being involved in the crafts blogging world for a little while, 
I've notice, Anthropologie is a favorite for craftsters to model after, 
and I have no complaints)!

Sew Together This Adorable Yoda Hat!

I came across this Yoda hat tutorial.
I'm not much of a sewer 
(but it's a goal of mine to learn)!
But this project looks nice and simple...

Not to mention, ridiculously cute.

Create Your Own Prescriptions!

The Dating Divas might be one of my new favorite blogs... 
Here's a tutorial on how to make a Prescription for Fun 
game to play with your spouse! 
I love this idea so much, 
it's so playful and original. 

You put the little capsules inside the pill bottle of those "grow an animal" thing
that you can find at the dollar store or somewhere they sell kids stuff.
 

I can even make this for my boyfriend 
who currently lives 800 miles away,
with a couple of alterations.

How To Make a Framed Wordle Print

I found this tutorial on how to make a
Framed Wordle Print for your family or a friend.
This idea is so great because it
really is simple, cheap and personal.
You don't need to be an artist, 
just have access to scrap paper and a printer.


It's project to cost between $2-5,
depending on what items you need to purchase.

Layered Cut Out T-Shirts Tutorial

I love how the tutorial doesn't limit you at all.
You can choose your own fabrics, style, colors...
everything is up to you.
I love this design and the color combo.

Crayon "Batiked" Candles

When I was in high school, 
my honors art class did a batik project 
and it was so much fun. 
I wish I had the means of making 
more batiked art on my own. 

However, I came across this tutorial 
at Craft Chi on how to use crayons to 
create "batiked" candle art. 
It's certainly not the traditional art of batik, 
but it's still pretty cool and you most likely 
have everything you need for it 
sitting around your house! 
(or a $3 trip to the dollar store).

Cross-Stitched Tetris Magnets

I'm so excited I found this tutorial on how to make 
cross-stitched Tetris magnets 
(you can also use these as Christmas ornaments or little grab bag gifts). 


This tutorial at Craftster shows you how to make a cross stitched pattern, 
but you can also make these with perler beads, 
but I think the cross stitch looks much more interesting and unique.

Make Your Own Personalized Postcards

At The Simple Dollar, you can find a really great and simple tutorial 
on how to make your own personalized postcards and stationary. 
You don't have to be an artist to make these... 
just have an eye for matching color combinations.

I love the chic look of putting shutters over top your bulletin board.

Paint Chip Art

As a crafting hoarder in denial,
whenever I go to the Home Depot or Lowes, 
I grab as many paint chips as I can shove into my purse... 
and sure, sometimes they come in handy
with different projects...
but this one at Aunt Peaches
looks so great!
and I can empty my 
shoebox of paint samples.

I'm going to do one for my bathroom!
