Round Make Up Bag with The Cricut

Leave a comment

DSC_0002

Hello and thanks for stopping by!  Today, I have a new make up pouch tutorial for you.  We have all seen this style of make up bag, but did you know how EASY they are to make on your own?

I even added a vinyl lining which makes it easy to wipe up any spills or powders that can get inside a make up pouch.  It’s not just me that is messy, right?

Or leave the vinyl out, like the one above and use it for your jewelry when traveling or your child’s legos… there’s never a shortage of uses for a pouch!

If you don’t have a Maker, yet, never fear because I have a work around for you.  I bet you have a dinner plate and that will work just fine, too!

You can whip these up in time for Christmas gift giving!  They take very little supplies and picking the fabrics is half the fun!

You keep asking for MORE placemat projects, and what can I say!  They are really a really easy sew! The Pioneer Woman Placemats make all 8 versions (plus one 1 wallet) a fast and easy project that make beginner sewist, like me, look like we know what we’re doing!

This version I refer to as, the clear project pouch.  It’s perfect for keeping all of your notions together for a specific project/pattern.  I used a kam snap kit to close this one.

You can also use a zipper.  I thought this one would be perfect to hang off the back of the car seat for the grandkids to keep there road trip entertainment in.  You can pack quite a bit into one of these little ditties!

If you’d like to give version 8 a try, I’ve got a step by step tutorial for you!  Want to see all 9 placemat projects?  Watch the playlist here.

Rosette Christmas Tree with the Cricut (Maker or Explore)

Leave a comment

Rosette Tree-1-4

Oh, Christmas Tree!  Why do you have to be so stinkin’ cute?  Ha!  I just love making these table top Christmas Trees from cardstock with the Cricut!  You can make this with the Cricut Explore or Cricut Maker.  All you need is the Cricut Design Space File which you can get here.

Rosette Tree-1-2

If you don’t have a Cricut yet… (you seriously need one), but you can create this by hand cutting the following rectangles and scoring each every 1/2″ down the length of each rectangle, then follow the tutorial.

You’ll need 2 strips each:

11.5 x 3″

11.5 x 2.75″

11.5 x 2.5″

11.5 x 2.25″

11.5 x 2″

11.5 x 1.75″

11.5 x 1.5″

11.5 x 1.25″

11.5 x 1″

11.5 x .75″

11.5 x .5″

 

OK, let’s do this!  Here’s a step by step tutorial:

Who needs a Dog Mitt… I mean Oven Mitt :)

Leave a comment

Christmas-oven-mitt-2

I mean, c’mon!  We all have THAT friend who is dog crazy!  You know, the one who hangs signs in their house about how their dog lives here, not you.  The ones who dress their dogs, kiss their dogs on the lips, let their dog have a lick of their ice cream… you know who I’m talking about.

Christmas oven mitt-1

We love them anyway!  (Just a little side note.. I might BE THAT FRIEND).  Well, now you have a mission for your dog lovin’ crazy friend.  Make them a matching oven mitt, hot pad out of this cute Fabric Editions Fabric from Walmart.. and it’s only $0.97!  All you need is two fat quarters for the oven mitt and you can use the left overs to create this reversible matching hot pad.

Christmas oven mitt-2

How fun!

Christmas oven mitt-3

The fur… I die!  You know you want to make this just so you can have a fur cuffed oven mitt on Christmas morning.  Want to know how to make the oven mitt?  It was one of my first maker sewing projects.  I’ve got a tutorial and a FREE pattern ready for you.  Don’t have a maker, cut out the pattern in cardstock and then use that for your pattern!  I didn’t use the fur in this video, but you can either glue it on, or sew it on.  I found the strip of fur at Joanns in the craft aisle (over by the bag making supplies, feathers, etc).

Christmas Bag with Fabric Editions

Leave a comment

Christmas Project Bag-11Well hello there!  Thanks for dropping by!  I have been having so much fun creating these drawstring bags.  I literally stalked my Walmart to find these $0.97 fat quarters by Fabric Editions.  Last week, I hit the jackpot!

Christmas Project Bag-10

I immediately knew what I wanted to make, but I also wanted to display the fat quarter rolls for the holidays, so this project turned out to be a two for one!

Christmas Project Bag-8

You can open the drawstring and fold it down and voila… it’s an instant “work from me” bag.  When you’re all finished, simply cinch it up and everthing is nice a secure on the inside.

I’ll be adding some of these to my Etsy Shop.  I have created a Design Space pattern for this and hope to share that as soon as I can find the time to record a video tutorial.

Check . your local Walmart for these fantastic finds!  What I don’t use this year, I will simply cinch up in this fun little holiday bag for next year!

 

Decorative Towel Hanger with the Cricut

Leave a comment

Towel Hanger-5

Thanks for stopping by.  Today I am showing you how to create a decorative towel hanger with your Cricut Maker!  Don’t have a Cricut Maker – don’t worry, I’ve got instructions for you, too.

I remember growing up that my mother and grandmother often had towels hanging from the front of the stove.  They were attached with some of grandmother’s handy dandy killer crochet skills.  Towel Hanger-8 Apparently, a skill that I did not inherit!  🙂 .

I wanted to create a towel hanger to keep a certain someone (sorry, Doug) from grabbing my pretty decorative towels and wiping up spilled milk on the counter.  Just sayin… PAPER TOWELS!   I digress.

I decided to create a pattern in Cricut Design Space (you can grab it here) and create my very own modern version of Grandmother’s Crochet’d towel holder.

Towel Hanger-7

I think this is the perfect gift for most every home.  It would be great fun to make one for each season/holiday and gift them as a set.

I used the Cricut EasyPress to create this Rae Dunn Inspired Flannel towel holder.  The Easypress  also helped me create holiday towels for Christmas like this oneTowel Hanger-4

and this one.  Excuse Wrigley… he thinks hes a prop.

Towel Hanger-1

I just love the fact that you can get two towel holders from 1 towel.

Towel Hanger-11I added a little pom pom trim to this one!  A girl has to have pom poms in her life, right?

I bet you can guess that I have a step by step tutorial for you and you can help yourself to the pattern above.

Do you need a PDF version?  I’ve got you taken care of too!  You can get the PDF version here.

Here’s the video tutorial:
