Crafternoon!

Melted Crayon Art
T-shirt Scarf
 I am so excited! A friend of mine organized a Sunday Funday Crafternoon -- wonderful ladies meeting once a month to craft! Though it's only been going for two months, I am so happy that I am finally getting to those cool craft projects I keep putting on my boards on Pinterest. Many of the lovely ladies I am meeting with are artists so it's fun to be around such creative minds, especially since I am such a step by step, inside-the-box kind of person. I have never considered myself a crafter, but now I am! Check out my t-shirt necklace/scarf I'm wearing today! If you have not checked out Pinterest -- please do! It's a great, easy, and visual way of sharing recipes, DIY projects, animal pictures, teaching ideas, and inspiration all in one place with strangers and people you love. If you need an invitation to the sight, just let me know. I'm a little sad this wasn't around for wedding planning, but honestly, it probably saved me some screen time! Crayon Art - hot glue crayons to canvas and heat with a heat gun or hair dryer. Guthrie was relaying the steps to a friend and said we used a blow torch -- that might be too much heat :)  For the t-shirt scarf/necklace, there are many DIY websites with instructions (including a Martha Stewart video). I used this one here. I thank my parents for the old t-shirts they don't wear anymore; happy to find a new use for them. Have a great week! Peace!
