Here is one of my favorite projects I've done so far! I just love these! I am dying to make more! I designed the little tic tac holder that can be printed out and used as a template. You can download it below. I've made it very easy for you! I've even included the design that I put on the front!

Halloween Avon Chapstick Holders-- Craft Fair Items

Here are some chapstick holders that I made to sell in my craft booth. I got the chapsticks on sale from Avon a couple of months ago for just .59 cents each! I plan to sell them for $1.50 each.

The holders are really easy to make. I cut them at 5.5"x3.5" Then a 3"x1" strip. I scored the holders at 2 3/8" and 3 1/8" Then I scored the strips at 3/4" and 2 1/4".

Bottlecap Pendants for Sale $5

Just poppin' in to show you what I've been up to today. I made all of these bottlecap pendants to put in my craft booth. It took quite a while, but I'm happy with what all I got accomplished. If any of you would like to order one, just let me know. They're $5.00 each, plus $1.50 shipping.

A Place to Store my Markers!

Hey folks! I'm back. I've been a bit absent lately. My husband and I both had the stomach bug this weekend. Ugh! No fun. I'm finally feeling better and decided to do something crafty. I bought some more Bic Mark Its at Big Lots this weekend I already had most of the colors in the box, but there were a few I didn't have and for just $4.00, it was a good buy. Well I decided to create a cute little container to put them all in. So I dug out this empty Quaker Oats container that I'd been holding on to. I knew I would use it one day! It was just perfect for storing all those markers! I covered it in this cute polka dot paper from My Mind's Eye. Then in my Publisher program, I created this color palatte with all the names of the colors. After printing, I colored each circle the correct color. That way it would save me time deciding which colors to use in the future! I'll probably decorate the top sometime in the future, but I just wasn't up to it today. Here is a clipboard I did last week and just haven't had time to blog about it. I love these papers. Reminds me so much of elementary school. It would be a great gift for an elementary teacher! I just modge podge to adhere the paper to the clipboard, then reattached the clip and added some ribbon! I'll be putting it in my craft booth for sale.

Stretchy Bracelets I Made

Even though I was on vacation in Florida, I still found time to squeeze in something crafty! I made these stretch bracelets using some beads and stretch cord that I bought at JoAnn's. I'd never been in a JoAnn's before, but I fell in love! I wish we had a store like it here in kentucky.
I plan to sell them in my craft booth for $6-$8 depending on how fancy they are. Sorry I couldn't get better photos.

Bottlecap Jewelry

Today I thought I'd share with you what I've been up to all weekend. I got my shipment of bottlecaps and stuff in the mail and I've been playing all weekend. Here are some of what I came up with. I'm going to put them in my craft booth for sale. I have ribbon necklaces to go with them. I apologize for the horrendously blurry photos, but my camera has about had it. I'm getting a new one for Christmas *hopefully*. So keep your fingers crossed, but for now you get the idea.

The bottlecaps and the Glaze Drops came from Sun & Moon Craft Kits. Apparently their store is closed over Thanksgiving break, but you'll have to check them out when they return! They have some great deals! I was able to make these for under $1.00 each. Maybe even less than that!

Anyways, the way I did it was I printed my images, cut them into 1" circles and then used fabri-tac (any tacky glue would work) to attach them to the bottle cap. Then I placed one of the "Glaze Drops" over the top to give it a bubbled up effect. So easy!

Candy Cane Treat Holders & Hot Cocoa Slider Cards

My mojo is flowin' this week! I am having so much fun creating things for my craft booth. I usually don't create these kinds of things because I didn't know what to do with them after I make them. So I'm finally creating everything that I've been admiring on other people's blogs for so long. Here are some candy cane treat holders that I created tonight. I made 12 of them. I never realized how cheap candy canes are! I got a pack of 12 for 88 cents at wal-mart. You can't beat that! I love the cherry flavored ones the best. I got the inspiration for these from Dawn's Stamping Thoughts. She has a tutorial on her blog here. She acutally did them for Easter and put twizzlers in them.
The bear holding the candy cane is a digital stamp from Dustin Pike. The Minnie Mouse and Puppy were images I pulled from Google. I've got them priced at just $1.00 each!

Of course I created some more bookmarks to go in my Twilight section. I am totally a Team Edward fan all the way, but I went ahead and created a few "Werewolf" ones as well, because I know you Jacob fans are out there. haha. The wolf is a digi stamp from Artful Inkables. They will be $1.50 each.

These are some Hot Cocoa slider cards that I made for the craft booth also. The image is another digital stamp from Dustin Pike. I love how the snowman is floating in the cocoa. Kinda ironic. haha. These were super easy to make. I got the idea from a tutorial of The Pink Stamper. I've been using a lot of white cardstock to make these because I just have sooooo much of it. You know those sheets you pull out of your scrapbook albums when you buy them. I keep all of those and I'm finally using them!

Rudolph's Spares Stocking Stuffers & My Craft Booth

Wowza have I been busy! I have just finished 30 of these cutsie little Rudolph tins for my craft booth. I've priced them at $2.25 each. That seems a bit high, but the cost of the tins and candy made up for at least half of that. I got the idea for them from Kerry's Paper Crafts. She has a tutorial for how to make them on her blog.

The tins were a wedding favor pack that I found in the wedding section at Wal-Mart. I got 30 of them for $19.00. That makes them $0.63 each!

I've also taken some photos of my craft booth to share with you all. I am so happy with the way it turned out. I have such a tiny space (4.5'x5'), but I love it! I am really fortunate because I didn't have to buy any of the shelving or anything. My parents own an automotive repair/parts store. So I just drug this stuff out of storage and spray painted it!

On this peg board I have my glass pendants and ribbon necklaces (coming soon). Below are my premade scrapbook pages.
On the shelf in the back, I have other odds and ends crafts like the rudolph's spares, post it note holders, ect.

And on this rotating rack I have all of my handmade cards sorted by category.

And of course, I have a section solely devoted to all things Twilight! Hoping to fill that section up soon! If you've got any ideas for me...please let me know!

I'm opening my own craft booth!

I was so excited I had to share this with you all! Someone is opening up an indoor "flea market" of sorts in my town. It is going to be for antiques and handmade crafts! It's called Trends & Treasures. I have rented out the smallest booth they have. It is tiny. But it'll get me started. I have always wanted to do this and I'm finally taking steps towards doing it. The hard part is getting together all of my creations and organizing everything so it can be priced and put in the booth.

So I just wanted to share with you the banner that I made to go in my booth. I wanted to use my blog title as the name of my booth, but I do so much more than just scrapbooking, so I was afraid that would confuse people.

I'll try to keep you posted on how my sales are going and such. But before I go, I wanted to give a shout out to Kerry's Paper Crafts for all the great tips on selling your handmade crafts. I just stumbled across her blog the other day and she has all kinds of great tips and tutorials on her blog for how to make all kinds of neat things. She also has photos and information about how she does her craft booth at the craft shows that she attends. So if you have time, go see all the wonderful things she has to share!
