Martha Stewart Countdown #100 Lucky Plant Gift

WOW! I am sitting at my computer right now crying so much. I am not sad or upset. I am just overwhelmed with what I just accomplished. I never thought any of this would happen to me. WHY would it? Well because I believe in myself for one and the rest comes with faith. {{thanks UNIVERSE}}

If you know me then you know I believe in the Universe more than I believe in myself. This countdown took on a big role in my life. I literally felt like I woke up thinking about Martha Stewart and I went to bed thinking of Martha Stewart. If I wasn’t doing this countdown one might would think I was OBSESSED.. HAHA. OK. Maybe I am just a little. I remember when I was standing right next to her, before the camera’s started rolling. I looked at her and it took me a minute to realize what was happening. I kinda wanted to frantically hug her or maybe just touch her cheek. I wanted to see if it was real. But I touched her hand and she kinda hugged me on the show so that was REAL ENOUGH!!!

I know you might of thought I would go out with a BANG. What I mean is, everyone is asking me “What will your 100th craft be”…It’s actually very simple and delicate. I thought it was perfect because a “JADE” plant is considered a “lucky plant. Did you know that? I have them all over my house and I have one in particular that I bought at the beginning of the countdown. You can get them at walmart! I got it because, well I guess I thought I NEEDED luck to do what I just promised to do. I remember when I told Ashy what I was doing. She just looked at me and said, “WHAT”. Really she said, {{are you flipping nuts woman}}.. HAHA. She turned into my biggest supporter. THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU FOR THAT! 

Remember my post that I did announcing to the world about the Martha countdown? Let me share a couple of things I wrote in it:

Sometimes I pretend I am her. Have you ever seen her hands? She is just magnificent I tell ya. She makes every craft seem like walking on water. She is the craft god. I just wanna feel like I have walked in Martha’s shoes for a period in time.

Can you believe all of my energy led me to this. I had NO idea when I wrote THIS  post that 3 weeks later I would be standing next to her. FA REALLLL!! Thank you UNIVERSE again.  I made so many friends when I went to New York and I am so glad they are in my life. I have learned how to “REALLY” network and be the consistent crafter that I am!  Well here it is people. My 100th craft.

Wish someone an auspicious new year with a jade plant, Crassula ovata. This easy-care succulent is said to bring prosperity. 

To wrap the pot, place it on a square sheet of decorative paper.

Bring up two opposite corners, and secure to the pot with double-sided tape. 

Fold the other two flaps as shown; tape. 

Tie gold cord around the pot, and add a tag with a message.Well Jaderbugs, it’s been amazing and wonderful. I couldn’t of done it without you and your excitement about each and every craft I do! I will forever remember this STRESSFUL wonderful experience. HaHa. Don’t worry! I am not going anywhere. I was a craft blogger long before this project and I will be one long after! GUESS WHAT? You will NOW start getting all of my ORIGINAL JADERBOMB CRAFTS BACK!!! I AM SO EXCITED…

Martha, if you are reading this…thank you for recognizing me as a true crafter. You changed my life before I went on the show and now I will forever carry this memory with me. I will NEVER forget what you said on the show:

“There’s dedication and then there’s DEDICATION.”  -Martha Stewart

Homeade Doorbells

Deck the doorknobs with jolly kid-made bells. It’s a great activity for days when it’s too wet or chilly to play outside and — between your craft bin and the refrigerator — you probably have all the supplies on hand: an egg carton, paint, glitter, glue, and yarn.

(and you jaderbugs know how much I love GLITTERRR (singing) again)

NINETYYYYYYYY 99999999999999999999999999… (SINGING LOUD in a MANLY voice)

Get your egg carton. Paper works best!

 Cut the cone-shape pieces that separate the eggs out of a cardboard carton (one egg carton will produce five bells).

I just used a roll of colorful yarn. Heart this!

Colors I used for my craft. You can get it HERE.

Colors I used for my craft. You can get it HERE.

Paint each divider, using acrylic or poster paint. Let dry; apply glue along the edge of the divider, all over the outside, or wherever you like, and sprinkle with glitter.

These are the glitter colors I used!! ORDER SOME HERE!! Don’t forget to use THESE!

Thread an embroidery needle with yarn. Poke a hole through a bell’s crown, and pull yarn through partway.

Slide a bell onto the yarn.

 Tie a knot above the jingle bell and one a little higher. Like this!

Tie several bells around a doorknob, staggering the lengths of the yarn.

OK. Fa real! I am in LOVE. I know I say that about every craft that has GLITTER on it!!! Can you believe this is 99!!!

I got 99 problems and a _____ ain’t one,

Cereal Box Organizer

OMG! It’s the 10th. I can’t believe it. I will write more about this LATER! When I saw this craft I thought. OMG! Practically free and a nice way to keep your magazines nice and neat. Do you know what I am talking about yet??? Hurry! Scroll down!!

Kids go through cereal fast. Make use of all the empty boxes by turning them into handy holders for their desks. Large boxes work well for books, small ones for supplies. Cut box with a utility knife at desired angle and height. Wrap decorative or contact paper around box to see how much you’ll need; unwrap; cut. Secure paper with double-sided tape; trim excess.

All of my products are made my Martha Stewart.

Sequin Ball Earrings

Get festive in a flash by donning a pair of homemade sequin ball earrings.

Sequin-wrapped wooden beads are attached to stud posts and chains from a jewelry-supply store. The only thing different than using sequins is using Martha Stewart’s fabulous GLITTER!!!

I figured I would jaderbomb the earrings plus glitter is much prettier than sequins…ahhh this red glitter makes my heart beat really fast!!!

Get some glitter HERE

I used this awesome Martha Stewart wide tip glue pen. This is so cool. When the glue comes to the tip it is BLUE!!

Get some wooden balls. I got these from Michaels Art’s and Craft’s. They were like…1.00 for a pack of 4.

Grab some earring findings from your local craft store.

Coat your wooden ball with the BLUE glue!!!

Oh wait! Get your hot glue gun and put this little sucker on it! (or you can use super glue)

These babies are coming together!!

These babies are SO FANCY!!!

Oh if you know me then you know I wear two different earrings at a time! Not sure why but I do. I am giving the red ones to my friend Jess (sorry if your reading this haha) because yesterday she said she LOVED the red glitter.. and I made a gold one for my left ear lobe… Not sure what I will match it up with yet.

Shimmering Stacked Trees

 Happy (whatever day it is) Jaderbugs! I am in love with using paper this holiday season. I hope you love this craft as much as I do! This shimmering stacked tree will add a festive — and eco-friendly — touch to your home this holiday season. These magnificent trees can also be stacked using any leftover aluminum foil, felt, or crepe paper. {I used an old magazine)

I used a piece of wood, skewer, scissors, spray adhesive and glitter. Yep, that’s it!

Grab some magazines and cut out:

 -6 by 6 inches
-5 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches
-5 by 5 inches
-4 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches
-4 by 4 inches
-3 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches
-3 by 3 inches
-2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches
-2 by 2 inches
-1 1/2 by 1/2 inch

Get a skewer or whatever you want to stick the paper on.

I drilled a hold into my wood so it woud be sturdy.

After I cut all of my pieces out I folded them into fours so I can see where my center is.

Then start sliding them onto the wood!

When you are done it should start to look like this!

I used adhesive spray, and glitter.

After you finish stacking spray a good amount of adhesive spray onto the tree.

I really just had fun with this sucker! I wanted it to look like a cotton candy Christmas tree…

And it does!!! It looks prettier in person I tell ya! Remember the magazine tree I did here? I hope you have fun doing this!

Going pick up glitter in my studio, jaderbomb
