Hilarious Emergency Candy Jar Gift DIY
I'm a big fan of Margot Potter's creative work, and she once published a tutorial for an adorable candy vial necklace charm. I thought the idea was so cute that I wanted to make my own version.

Washi Tape Crafts Book Review
The Washi Tape Crafts book is an inspiring new book that comes with 10 rolls of washi tape. I'll admit it: when washi tape first came on the crafting scene several years ago I wasn't sure what the hubbub was about.

I quickly realized that the right question is, "what CAN'T you do with washi tape?" Amy Anderson, crafting super star, … [Read more...]
