oh the madness...

I thought I would share a little of my crafting madness from Saturday.  I literally sat on the floor the whole day.  I don't know why, but I have never been able to sit at a table to create.  I always end up on the floor.  My kids couldn't even come into the room.  Not because I didn't want them to, but because there was no place for them to walk. I had glue guns, beads, ribbon, and tags flying everywhere.  What is really sad is that my husband was going to take me out for my birthday dinner that night, and I wouldn't even allow myself to stop until it was ALL done, which by then I was too tired to go.  So now you know the extent of my madness~though I did make it to the table for the birthday cake that they made for me!)

I had to keep my costs down, so I scoured my house for extra supplies.  First up, remember the red, beaded Christmas tree garland that I turned into a necklace here?  Well, I used the rest to make bracelets, and tied them with red velvet ribbon from my ribbon stash.

Next I made wands.  I bought the craft foam and the glitter, but the dowels were leftover from the Mayflower and the caramel apples!  Notice the greenery that I stuck them in.  It is some of the leftover $1 Christmas tree garland that I made the snow queen's wreath out of!  I used the rest of the garland to make a bunch of miniature wreath tree ornaments.

After the wands, I had a lot of scraps, and realized that I could make girl's hair clips.  I had a ton of  little silver clips from when I used to make bows for my daughter's hair. There are so many clips that come in a package, that when I bought it, I hardly made a dent in it.  I had one twelve inch strip of green gingham ribbon~just enough to make all the "leaves".

A bunch of dollar store frames (that I already had) turned into this~about twelve of them!

I have pins and necklaces to share, but for some reason the photos won't load, so I'll show you those tomorrow.  Happy Tuesday!
