Flower Power - more crocheting

I crocheted a blue flower following the tutorial from Applehead. Can't wait to make more things.

Ribbon Ring

I made a ribbon ring! following the instructions from Whrrl.

I used a leftover piece of ribbon I found lying around the house.

Using a lighter, I burnt the frayed edges.

Folded the ribbon in half..
And sewed roughly along the length of the ribbon.
Pull needle and thread to scrunch up ribbon and sew ends together.
Add bead or embellishment of choice in the middle of the flower ribbon.
I used a 5cent piece to cut out a felt circle.
Broken hair lucky! (2.25")

Glued hair lucky to back of flower ribbon and felt on top of that!

My first ribbon ring :)

How to make a cup coaster

My crocheted cup coaster

Picture from Meet me at Mike's

Today I bought a 2.5 mm crochet needle and two different coloured yarn. I followed the Meet me at Mike's tutorial on How to make a simple pot holder by Pip and created my little cup coaster. This is my first crocheted piece so there were a few holes at the start as I missed a couple of stitches but I got the hang of it as I went further along.


I stopped at at round 5 of the tutorial and made mine into a cup coaster instead of a pot holder!

Uh oh - even more money spent on craft items!

Rhinestones from CrazyClarks - $2

Glitter Alphanumericals - $3

I've been working on a 21st birthday card, seeing as everyone is turning 21 this year. I'm bound to give this out sometime this year! I was cutting out some green numbers but it just didn't look right, so I went in search of green glitter numbers and I found them straight away at ClazyClarks!!! (How does the saying go? If you seek, you shall find!)

Let's Celebrate!

I've made yet another card today with some of my new accessories! Using a similar design to the first wedding card I've made, the aqua inked butterfly swirl with black sentiments stamped on top of it as the centre of the card. The bag of blooms flowers have been added to the corners on the centrepiece. Using the butterfly stamp from the Papercraft Clear Cling stamps from Big W, I used pink ink to stamp on some white cardboard. Glitter glue was used on top of it to create the butterfly patterns, it was then cut out and stuck on the card! I hole-punched some blue paper to create the trail of the butterfly!

Welcome to Blueberrymuffinss Handmade

I've decided to create this blog and dedicate all the crafty sections here. You can find my previous lifestyle blog on here. I've made a couple of cards and jewellery but nothing serious, just more of a hobby than anything. Hopefully I will be making more craft projects and will write about them and perhaps even some freebies. The next few posts are from my other blog - just because they're craft-related and what motivated me to create this blog.

Happy reading :)
