With the mounting demands of school and work and all of my usual duties plus my teenager breaking his arm (yes, that's right- Colin broke his arm at lacrosse practice 3 weeks ago), I was in serious need of a quick, simple, fun, and rewarding crafting project to lift my spirits. My mantel has felt a little blah, and I knew just what would gussy it up. After a quick trip to Hobby Lobby, I had all of my supplies: 3 sheets of craft paper, 1 page of card stock, scissors, twine, and a hole punch.
I made a template with the card stock, totally guessing on the dimensions until I landed on something that pleased my eye. Using the template, I cut 3 shapes (what the heck are they called? flags?) in each color. I punched 2 holes in each and strung them on a piece of twine, and I was done-zo. Boom.
Since the craft paper was on 50% at Hobby Lobby and I already had all of the other supplies, this beauty set me back $0.94. Picture me patting myself on the back.
Anyone else out there get their craft on lately? Can you beat my cute-and-new-for-only-94-cents price tag?

Emily
I make cute hair bows for about 40-50 cents! :-)
ReplyDeleteYay! You beat me. And, it's a good thing they're only 40-50 cents each, since your daughter has 349057522 of them! :)
DeleteThat is really cute,Emily. I just packed Easter away today-so need to get Spring in full force now- xo Diana
