Last Minute Holiday Projects

by

Yes, there is still time to get some holiay crafting done, still one week left! Here are a couple of cool ideas.

1. A tree made from a catalog, instructions from the Just Like Martha blog (by her daughter so cute!)

This is my version. Once made, I sprayed it with a fixative and dusted glitter all over it. Then I added a star to the top.

2. Matchbox hostess gifts from Creature Comforts

3. My sister altered a gift bag from the craft store, and made a matching card and gift card holder

You can see a similar idea by jennifer McGuire here

4. Cosmo Cricket has been posting Thrifty Gifty ideas on their blog. Scroll down a bit, they already have seven ideas posted!

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.
