Posting

You know, of course that I haven't posted since before Christmas, and yet my stats show that I had:

Pageviews last month

6,745

That amazes me! 

I really haven't done much crafting, that's why I haven't posted.  I moved back to NC in Jan to work out my 10 year relationship , and just got back to NC again, after a 2 month trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where my boyfriend is taking part in building a golf course. (Cabo is Awesome).

I'll get back to it, then start posting, again.  Meanwhile.....

Happy Crafting Friends

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I haven't craft much these past few weeks, except that I'm making my Hanging Towels as gifts for my family.  I've also been stripping and sanding an old antique dresser my Mother bought for me. Simply gorgeous.  I will share it with you all when it's finished.

 Happy Holidays!

Magazine Bowl

Last Christmas I made homemade gifts for everyone in my family. For my Mother I made a recycled  magazine coiled bowl and of course filled it with chocolates. My Aunt June emptied it to look it over and fell in love with it.  I just made this for her.

I had first seen this project at Saved by Love Creations, but I could not find the post to share her projects and tutorial.

This is how I did it. 

What you need for this project

Magazines

Paper Cutter

Hot glue gun

Modge podge

Sponge applicator

Clear coat spray

1. Tear out sheets from magazine

2. Cut into 2" strips

3. Fold strips (This is a job) Fold in half the open fold one side into the center and fold that one more time, repeat on the other side of the strip.

4. Begin with a tight coil

5. Hot glue each folded strip as you coil

6. Modge podge as you go to keep it from moving.

7. After ending the coil, I modge podge the inside, let it dry, then the outside, and repeat several times. Then spray a clear coat on the inside let it dry and then the outside.

8. Fill with candy!!!

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Crafting!
