Jewelry from the Craft Fair

These are some wrap bracelets I made.  I love the colors, and it was hard for me not to just keep them instead of selling them.  I didn't sell any last weekend, but am hoping to in the next craft fair.  They are $8 each.  I also made some necklaces, and sold the big one in the middle.
 






Socktopuses

I brought these to the Craft Fair last weekend.  People were laughing and thought they were great, and I think they're pretty adorable, too.  This is what I have leftover.  They are $7 if anyone is interested.  I'll be bringing them to the next craft fair in a few weeks.  I got the idea here.

Garden Marker Gift

I made these garden markers out of clay as a Mother's Day gift for my mom. 
I saw the idea on Pinterest of course!  HERE it is!



Banner for an Art Party

My friend's little girl is turning three and having an Art Party!  I can't wait to see her decorations!  She goes all out on birthdays like we do. :)
Check out the digital clipart set that I used from Maree Truelove's Etsy Shop.

Pool Party!

Pool/water party for my two year old son! :)

 
Digital invite.  I used digital clipart from DigitalBake Shop.

Stamped envelopes for the invitations.

I made this circle punch garland from scraps of paper that were in my craft room recycle box.  I got the idea HERE.  I was amazed at how fast and easy this was.  My sewing machine pulled them right through, nice and straight.  I just kept feeding them in. The other nice thing is that they don't seem to want to get tangled.







Small bottles of Gatorade recovered as "Pool Water."

Water bottle labels.
I made a different fish out of felt for each treat pail.

Contents of the treat pails.

Each one was also personalized with vinyl letters made on my Cricut machine.

Start of the "Happy Birthday" banner.  I stamped sea critters on the circles.

Another banner I made.

Confetti made with a regular hole punch.

I sewed three rolls of crepe paper together to create this doorway decoration. 
The kids had fun walking through it.



Big number 2 cut out of foam board and covered in circles.


I wrapped the trees in the crepe paper that I sewed.

About 400 water balloons thanks to my husband!



Fish swimming in Sixlet "water."  My son has a peanut allergy,
so we use Sixlets instead of M&Ms.

Fruit skewers.  Idea from the wonderful Pinterest.

Funfetti cake batter buddies, beach mix, and "beach balls." 
I got all these ideas from Pinterest. :)
