Handmake Your Holidays

by

Today we’re celebrating Handmade Holidays on the Craft Gossip Network! This year, it seems most people, myself included, are committing to to either hand making their ornaments and gifts, or buying handmade items from sources such as Etsy.

I’ve scored the web and come up with a whole bunch of sites that have taken this idea and run with it.

The Go.Be Creative team is running a Handmade for the Holidays Series, including Hanukkah projects!

The team over at Tarisota are posting daily holiday recipes

80’s Inspired Boombox Shaped Mini Album

I was a teen in the 80’s so this totally rad Boombox shaped mini album from Traci really speaks to me! She created a rectangle shaped black acrylic album with rounded corners, adding buttons and a handle on the top with a cover decorated to look like a real boombox with speakers, a tape deck, buttons and more. She used the Totally 80’s collection of products from Simple Stories that has lots of bright pink and teal colors with cool 80’s inspired patterns like black and white check and colorful graphics. There’s also load of fun embellishments like a Walkman, high top sneakers, retro TV, camera, hair spray can and more. 

I had huge hair in the 80’s and am embarrassed to admit how much Aquanet hair spray I used!

Traci has included her totally tubular signature flaps and pockets in the album too for some radical interactive elements too.

Visit the Artsy Album blog to learn more about this bodacious mini album project.
