Unlimited iPhone Cases

Here is how to get unlimited personalized iPhone cases!

20131215-134143.jpg
At Joanns Craft store I found a clear phone case with holiday background papers for $3. I decided to use this to make some more cases other than the papers it came with. Choose a piece of decorative paper to start with.

Trace the paper it came with onto the decorative paper and cut it out.

Now you have an iPhone case!

DIY Photography Name art

Give a gift that’s crafty, thoughtful, and inexpensive this season with your own “Name spelled out in pictures”

20131208-182721.jpg
Typically, these cost a lot to make. But why not do-it-yourself?

One day I went around and took pictures for my friend Victoria. I got them printed and taped them to a piece of wood. It didn’t take long and it ended up looking great! I wrapped it with some burlap to make it look vintage, and she adored it:)

This is a great gift for someone who has everything. You could also do words in your own home like “Love” or “Hope”

That’s a Wrap!

Christmas is just around the corner and if you want your gifts to be the best under the tree, it’s the outside that counts. Here are 10 fun wrapping ideas.

20131201-161539.jpg
1.An interesting shaped box can be cool but impossible to wrap. Try holiday ribbon and wrap it around!

2.A simple patterned wrapping paper can easily be perked up with a necklace wrapped around like ribbon.

Hair Bows

Here is an easy way to make hair bows. 20131106-185753.jpg
The yellow polka dot one is 18 inches and the blue one I think is around 10. I would recommend making them bigger. We had to make 40 for choir and we were limited on ribbon.
Start with two loops20131106-190021.jpg
Tie the other ribbon around the middle of the loops. 20131106-190114.jpg
Ruffle the loops out to a bow shape and cut the edges of the ribbon. Now you have your final bow!20131106-190240.jpg

20131106-190523.jpg
Attach a clip or hairband to finish it off!

Here is the Money Flower

20131102-090511.jpg

20131102-090526.jpg

It’s super easy too! All you need is string and 15 $1 bills.

Roll 14 of the bills into rolls

20131102-091500.jpg
And then put them through a string for your necklace. Now you have the flower to do

20131102-090816.jpg
Fold the bill like a fan, and make it into a bow. Make the bow fuller by taping the edges into a flower shape. Finish it up with a piece of tape to the necklace!
