Pringle Can Bangle Bracelet Tutorial

Yes. That's right. You can upcycle Pringle cans or water bottles or some other plastic bottle you can easily cut with scissors or an exacto knife into *Awesome Bangle Bracelets. 

Ready for the tutorial? Alright here we go......

Ok. Now don't hate me....but I've moved this tutorial to my new crafty blog, Hazel and Company. Come check it out!

I know, right? Pringle Can Bracelets. Who would have thought this was even possible?

Ribbon Bookmark with Tutorial Link

I finally got around to making a small something for a friend for her birthday (her birthday was in August...yes, see I'm really good at staying on top of things.) I gave her a vintage book titled A Family Raised on Rainbows.  It's full of recipes, family traditions and, generally, how to be a swell mom.  And then I whipped up this fun ribbon bookmark with elastic to throw on it.  I found the tutorial on Pinterest.  You can find the  tutorial Here.

I thought mine needed something more though, so I hot glued some buttons to it.

Easy peazy!

I snapped a few pictures of it on one of my very favorite books. The other book was too bright and busy....

Dear Sister, whose birthday was in July and still has not received her birthday package from me,

If you lived around the corner (see? It's really your fault....) then I'd have brought your gift to you only a month late. 

But....ack! I promise I'll get it into the mail soon! I just keep forgetting to get it all packaged up and then I'm in town running around and I think I should have gotten it ready....

blech. I need a bigger brain. 

Thrifty Thursday{on Friday!}: Spray Painted Teacher Gifts

I finally got around to making my kid's teachers gifts. Yep. I like to put things off until the very last minute so I can do that thing where I run around like crazy all morning trying to get stuff done.  Good times. 

I finished getting these cake stands glued together and spray painted this morning (for more info on making these, check out This Post)

Then I whipped up some oatmeal cinnamon chip cookies. And scurried off to deliver one to the middle school and two to the elementary school.  Wooh.

I think the teachers really liked them.  Yay! My boys had awesome teachers this year. And so I was happy to do something for them to make them smile.
