Cupcake Skirt made with Tulle

Cupcake Skirt- Well this seems to be my new thing making everything with tulle!!! I love those tutu's with tulle but everyone who makes them knows after a couple wears they get all tangled and nasty looking. But tulle is cheap and every girly, girl wants a cute tutu. Factor in my love for the glitz dresses on "Toddlers and Tiaras" Well in a search for how to make them I came up with my own version. Tulle and fishing line???  Yes, you read correctly Tulle and my Hubby's fishing line!! Actually my Hubby did not have heavy enough line so Wal- Mart $3.00 for 50lb. fishing line works great. That's what gives the tulle that curly, curl at the bottom edge and I love the look. No more tangled messes for my Princess!! I also love that puffy look they get!!

Second Ladies Night Creations

My Second Ladies Craft Night we made Faux Apothecary jars:

Table and mantle-top apothecary jars are a classic look in decorating, but a real budget buster. Recreate the look and feel of apothecary jars with some DIY Dollar Store magic. Turn candle sticks and jars into faux apothecary jars.

First Ladies Night Creations

So my first Ladies Craft Night we made from pinterest was the following:

Large 10x13 picture frame, ribbon and a metal serving tray from Dollar Tree with the center painted with chalkboard paint. With a piece of chalk you can write what ever message you would like your guest to read or see when they come knocking at your front door!!! it was neat to see how everyone put their own spin on this project!! Happy Crafting!!

Valentine's Day Dress- Sewing

At a certain age for kids it becomes hard to find cute holiday themed clothing. My daughter is 4 years old but on the tall side. So it's a good thing Momma can sew... so that she as a kid can celebrate all themed holidays and she can still look simply adorable!

Themed Birthday Shirt- Easy

Easy iron-on! Buy a cheap cotton shirt and computer iron-on paper. They sell ink jet printable paper that will iron on to a cotton shirt. Just follow directions on the iron on paper pack. Keep in mind they make 2 different kinds of ironing paper one for light colored clothing and one for dark colored clothing.
