Summer's Almost Over!

Hey guys!

Well, I've had a nice long summer vacation...haven't we all?? Even though I didn't go on vacation or anything...lol mostly all I did was sleep in. xD But it was still just NICE and RELAXING to have a little break, ya know? I will be going on vacation like in a month, so I want to make the most of this blog while I can. I'll be back to busy, busy, busy-ness August 21st, so after then I'll probably only update this blog about twice a month. But still, I hope you like these upcoming crafts that I've planned out for you...one is a Duct Tape Dollie. The second one isn't really much of a craft, but still: How to turn your old clothes into new ones! The third craft; Water Bottle Buddies. The fourth; Clothespin People. And the fifth...the fifth one is really special. Know why? It's because you get to vote on what the fifth craft is!!! I'll be adding a poll to the blog, so please...don't let your opinion go to waste! Place your votes in now!!! :D Along with new crafts, I am currently working on an actual website for Crafts 4 Fun so that you'll get to be part of it too! There's going to be a forum, a photo gallery, and even more!

Well hope you all have a wonderful rest of your summer!

Hey everyone! I'm back with THREE new crafts for you to enjoy! Check it out!

First off I have a really cute and really simple Fall tree craft to make.

You will need four brown pipe cleaners, scissors, and an assortment of orange, red, and yellow beads. (Or if you want to create a green leaved tree, then you will just need a variety of different green colors.)

Step One: Take three of the pipe cleaners and fold them in half. Then twist them together, starting at the fold, until there's about an inch and a half of twisted pipe cleaner. Then spread out the ends like tree branches.

Step Two: Cut the remaining pipe cleaner into little pieces, about an inch each.

Step Three: Twist the cut up pieces of pipe cleaner around the branches, to make it look like smaller twigs are branching off of the tree.

Step Four: Add the beads to the branches and now you'll have a beautiful Autumn tree to look at!

This is what your finished project should look like.

This next craft is very easy, and can be made in about five to fifteen minutes. It's an Apple Craft

You will need one red sock, green felt, a rubber band, scissors, and fiberfill for this project. (I just used left over scrap material as a replacement for fiberfill. Newspaper, uncooked rice and beans work as well.)

Step One: Cut the sock right below the heel.

Step Two: Fill the toe of the sock with fiberfill, and squish it into a ball shape.

Step Three: Draw a pattern like this on the green felt and cut it out.

Step Four: Tie the green felt leaf around the top of the apple, and place a rubber band around the top as well, to hold it all together.

The final craft is a toothpick American Flag...

You will need scissors, glue, a red marker, blue paper, a lid for drying on, 13 toothpicks, and glitter or star sequins.

Step One: Color seven of the toothpicks red, and leave the other six their natural color. (If you want to make the stripes bigger, you can color 14 toothpicks red and have 12 of them blank. That way, the stripes are bigger and the flag in more in proportion.)

Step Two: Glue the toothpicks together with red going first, then white.

Step Three: Repeat this until you have 13 stripes, and the flag starts with a red one and ends with a red one.

Step Four: Cut out a rectangle, put glue all over it, and sprinkle glitter or star sequins on it. When both of the parts dry completely, glue the rectangle on and there you have your very own American Flag!

Well that's it for now, but check back soon! I'll have some great new crafts to share with you! Also, please subscribe to my blog and get all my posts sent right to your email inbox!


Happy Crafting Everyone~

HOPPY EASTER EVERYONE! Here's an easy 7 - Step craft to make your own Easter Bunny!

Hey everyone!

It's me, Jess, back with some exciting new crafts to share! And they are mostly Easter crafts so I hope you're in the Easter season!!! :D This very easy, simple, and ADORABLE Easter Bunny! You need very few things to create this, and they can be found in many stores for very cheap.
So let's get started!!!

This is all you'll need to create a 'hoppy' little friend! Markers, a paper towel, glue, tape, and a plastic drinking cup.

STEP ONE: Fold the paper towel in half. (OPTIONAL - You may want to place the folded towel on the cup and make a small mark where you'll want the face.)

STEP TWO: Draw a cute little bunny face, tummy, and feet. You can also add arms if you want!

STEP THREE: Put glue all over the front and top of the cup, as shown above. (NOTE - it works best if you use a paintbrush to spread the glue on the cup.)

STEP FOUR: Place the paper towel on the cup, and make sure you're very careful in lining up the body on the cup. DO NOT CUT OFF THE EXTRA FLAPS!

STEP FIVE: Gather the extra flaps of paper towel, and bunch them into two flaps sticking above the head.

^^^ LIKE THIS ^^^

STEP SIX: Tape the ears securely to the head, and either tape or cut off all the other access towel.

OPTIONAL - Step Seven: If you want, you can glue on a couple cotton-balls on the backside of the rabbit to represent it's tail.

This is what your finished project should look like.

You can use these cute and very inexpensive Easter Bunnies for many things: gifts, decorations, ANYTHING!!! Use your imagination and I'm sure you can think of something! :D

 Later gators!
Tune in next time for more Easter crafts from me!
