Old games offer multiple small pieces that can be transformed into creative decorations and gifts. This little pumpkin takes two dominoes. Just think how many you could craft from one game. It stands […]

New Fall Craft Show Projects-2015

Primitive Pumpkin Shutter I love turning things that end up on the curb into fun and whimsical seasonal decorations. Paint an old window shutter into a primitive pumpkin shutter for fall and Halloween decor. Not a painter? No problem. This is a primitive project, and crisp straight lines are not required. Except for the drying […]

More specifically, I begin stocking up on quick projects to sell at local craft sales. This whimsical candy corn couldn’t be more simple. Made with a foam cone as the base, it is […]
