Stickyfingers - Valentine's Edition

Happy Sunday everyone!
I'm in full blown Valentine's mode as I sit here this morning filling orders for these cuties. Being surrounded by so much pink and hearts has gotten me in the mood for Cupid. I've scoured the web and found 3 super easy and super cute projects, just for you.
As always, I aspire to inspire so go and MAKE SOMETHING!

Have a kid's party coming up? How about some Lollipop Favors? BHG shows you how, right here

This little project really takes the cake in terms of cuteness! Thank you Roots and Wings, for showing us how to make these Love Letter Felt Envelopes, right here.

It wouldn't be a "real" edition of Stickyfingers if I didn't include at least 1 tutorial from Queen Martha, right? How about these Lace Votive Holders? They are so gorgeous they can be used anytime you need a little romance, not just Valentine's Day.

Stickyfingers All About FALL

Happy Sunday! I'm feeling chipper today because the weather here in Atlanta is in the low '50's! We simply bypassed Fall and went straight to Winter around here. Since I'm longing for the "real" Fall to show it's face, I thought I'd bring you some fun crafts that are reminiscent of this colorful season. I aspire to inspire so go and make something! Have Fun.

These Orange Rind Votives, remind me of the hanging closet pomander we made in first grade. Don't you just love the smell of cloves? Beekman Farms gives you the step-by-step here.

I fell in love with this Ruffle Sweater tutorial from Orange Beautiful last year. Last weekend I spend the better part of Sunday in J.Crew and bought a few too many ruffly collared items and still can't get enough of them. This is one project I'm going to try my hardest to make this year, although I haven't sewn anything since the duffel bag project from 8th grade Home Ec class.

I've especially loving this Mini Forest for your table, since my own dining room is painted this color and has orange accents everywhere. Sunset shows us how right here.

Happy Sunday! This week's edition of Stickyfingers brings you fun, crafty tutorials from a few old friends you've seen before and you get to meet a new friend too. I aspire to inspire so by the end of today (or at least this week) I hope you go and make something! I love to see pictures of your finished projects so please send along so I can feature you.

The amazingly clever Patricia Zapata, of A Little Hut brings us this easy tutorial for those of you who like to recycle. These modern Yarn Gift Tags are easy to make, click here for instructions. Also, Patricia has recently launched a new craft book. I bought my copy last night and I anxiously await it's arrival!

No stranger to Stickyfingers, Amy of The B-Line always has wonderful craft tutorials. I'm most impressed that she makes each and every one herself, instead of just blogging about them {like yours truly}. This time she shows us how to make the timeless cocktail umbrella and offers other uses besides adorning your fav Mai Tai.

I was reading my friend Jessica's blog and she introduced me to the idea of knitted bangles. How great would these be for Fall? She offers several links to tutorials she has found, my favorite was this one, by Cloud Hopping.

Welcome to this week's edition of Stickyfingers, lovingly brought to you by InkSpot Workshop. I've included a few "kid friendly" crafts to help fill the long days of summer vacation. Enjoy and go make something!

How about rounding up the kiddos to make some felt beads? String them up and make all sorts of pretty, fuzzy jewelry. Thank you Kleas for introducing us to this project.

Got scraps? How about turning them into this fun Fabric Scrap Memory Game compliments of Inchmark.

Paper projects need a little zing? I love how button and string closures look and was happy to find this great tutorial from Erin Zam.
