Martha Stewart Countdown #58 Paper Clip Charms

I LOVE PAPER CLIPS!

The classic paper clip is indispensable, but these handmade clips — which double as bookmarks — are much more enchanting. Try clipping one onto a homemade card for a surprising little gift. How fun would it be to give a gift to someone and put a “wire initial” with the gift!

You’ll need 20-gauge annealed-iron wire, wire cutters, and round-nosed pliers (all available at crafts and jewelry-supply stores). Your design can be as simple or as ornate as you like, as long as it consists of at least two flat loops or shapes that will hold a piece of paper between them. The heart and the monogrammed clip shown at left are good designs to start with.

I hope everyone is sleeping and dreaming about happy things, jaderbomb

Martha Stewart Countdown #56 Twine Dispenser

If you ever found twine, rope, string or yarn scattered all over the place then you NEED to see this craft!!! I have so much twine all over my studio it’s CUH-RAZY!! The best part is you can make them any size! SO MUCH FUN!

You will need: wire, needle nose pliers and whatever your filling these babies with!

You want to start by cutting a piece of wire (about 18″). You will cut 2 pieces. If you want you can use a smaller or larger piece depending on how much twine you are putting inside. Curl one end of the wire.

Keep curling…

Till you get a big ole coil!

When you are done curling you want to push OUT the inside.

Then put your twine inside. Now is the time to get your second piece and repeat the steps. When you are done put it on the other end and it will enclose the twine.

This is what you will get! HOW AWESOME! I hung it up in my kitchen so it is ALWAYS available to me!

Now I am really going to bed, jaderbomb

Martha Stewart Countdown #51 Gumdrop Pops

Howdy Jaderbugs! I can’t believe today is almost over with. Where does time go and who gave them permission to take it so quickly…I just want to warn you before doing this craft! You will be cutting and rolling pieces of gum drops the entire time and I suggest putting a wet wash cloth by you unless you plan on licking your fingers the entire time {{like I did}}…..Then you will be pouncing off of the walls! So let’s get started {{i feel like a real live gum drop people}}….

I used some plain ole spice drops. I really forgot how much these suckers stick to your teeth…I think that is why our parents told us they were bad for our teeth {{duhhh now I know why}}…

Grab some skewers! These babies will hold the spice drops!

I used a razor blade to cut the spice drops. These suckers are hard to cut!

I don’t know about you but I WISH I had enough time to make hundreds of these and hand them out to my neighbors…. Obvisouly this one is not done.. Well, technically it “could” have been done but someone could have “ate” his parts… Were gonna go with NOT DONE. I listed the directions for each design below for you!

For Santa
Use top half of 1 small gumdrop for hat. Trim 2 oblong candies for arms. Use candy-coated seeds for buttons and pom-pom. Poke candy where facial features will go with a skewer; use sticky tip to pick up and place nonpareils for eyes and nose.

For Tree
Use 1 flattened gumdrop for base of tree. Use 1 small gumdrop for trunk. Cut sides from 1 gumdrop; press sides around top of stick, for treetop. Flatten 1 gumdrop; using an aspic cutter, cut out star. Insert sprinkles for lights.

For Snowman
Trim top of head; top with 1 candy wafer and half of 1 small gumdrop for hat. Using a skewer (see “For Santa”), place nonpareils for eyes, mouth, and buttons. Insert sprinkle for nose.

For Mushroom
Use 1 small gumdrop for stem. Use sequin sprinkles for dots.

You can’t tell me you didn’t feel good when you first looked at these honeysuckles. I felt good when I ate one… JS

Martha Stewart Countdown #49 Tinsel Snowflakes

Ya know. Everyone loves snowflakes! I know I do! When I was a little bitty baby girl I remember sitting in my room trying to fold paper and cut in certain spots to make them. Never turned out like I wanted. I think it’s time I try again. Maybe that will be in another post! But today we are making affordable fun crafts to add to your Christmas tree! Martha Stewart even has the template for you to use!

Tinsel isn’t just for sprinkling on an evergreen tree. Try creating this sparkling ornament to brighten any room.This tinsel glitter is so amazing. It totally reminds me of vintage crafts. You just don’t see tinsel anymore! But Martha Stewart is bringing it back {to the bottom of the map}…

Using a utility knife, cut out the snowflake shape. From this template.

Using a medium paintbrush, coat one side of shape with craft glue or use the tip of the glitter glue.

I used Martha Stewart’s tinsel glitter.

This is what they should look like after you cut them out.

Sprinkle with tinsel glitter. Let glue dry; shake off excess glitter. It’s already looking crazy pretty RIGHT!

Listen! I wanna design a snowflake line. I would make the best ornaments ever! Of course I would use tinsel glitter {{teehee}}

I want to eat one. They just look like something that would feel so good in my belly right now!

It’s little baby decorations I swear I can’t type all of these blogs fast enough to show you everything I want at one time! Guess that means you will have to come back!!!

Brain fried from crafting so much, jaderbomb

Martha Stewart Countdown #47 Light Bright

I decided to stay up and do this craft for you! I couldn’t help it! It’s so easy to make and lemme tell you how much this baby lights up a room! It’s so elegant and did I mention it was super duper easy!!!!

First thing you want to do is get a canvas. I used a pretty large one because I wanted to have a lot of negative space. My canvas was 18×24 and I purchased it from Michaels Arts and Crafts.

Grab a box of lights. They are all over right now so you shouldn’t have trouble finding them!

I tried a couple of things to puncture the canvas but the good ole ice pick did the trick!

Use the ice pick to puncture a hole. Start putting lights in each hole.

See how pretty and whimsical this baby looks. I wanted to make mine look a like a shooting star. {lol} I know, it’s my vision of what a shooting star would look like!

I love how it looks so close. Who woulda ever thunk it, that lights can make you feel so good! I wonder how it would look with colored lights!

Sending you lot’s of things to pick away with and then make a wall of canvases and lights, your jaderbomb

Martha Stewart Countdown #46 Doily Pillow

Yep. Another long night. I am about to heat up a Hot Pocket {{ and not work out after }}….Gonna go strait to bed. I have to admit to you something. I am not drawn into many “reality” shows but this darn SISTER WIVES got me. I am sitting here crying because…well I’m not too sure. Maybe it is the abundance of love they share with each other. Who cares what they do…I believe in happiness. As long as they are not hurting anyone I am good! They just had a new baby and it was so touching. Maybe I am emotional because I am tired or maybe just because it made me feel good watching them. Who cares. They got me all sappy… Guess I’ll fix it by watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta… Yep. That should fix it. I wish they would do a Real Housewives of Lafayette. Let’s craft!

Get some fabric
