random crafts that don't fit elsewhere

I figured i will be doing a lot of odds and ends, so i'd start a topic for it.
the current/latest is decorating onesies for the babies that are due.
here are the 2 i did today. the first is a replica of the guam seal, as the mother was born on guam.
and this one is "short hand" for "for love, add hugs"

I've been reading up on Pysanki, or how to decorate Ukranian Eggs. I love the idea but more craft tools just aren't in the budget this year.

I have looked at that, but don't think my hands would be steady enough.

If you stick with geometric shapes you can do it by applying tape to make straight edges and then applying the wax along the wax. But I do understand what you mean. Considering how I shake when taking pictures that would probably do me in.

Hairpin Lace
A couple of the lace on the frame
Making it
taking it off the frame
when i get it long enough, it will be a headband for zoe. it is about 1/2-3/4 in wide and i need it to be about 18-20 inches long.
by the way, you can make the center narrower and the loops longer, and use the loops to join and make large things like afghans and shawls with it. i just haven't yet. i just bought the frame because i got tired of waiting for
someone
to make me one.

Thanks Tina. I'm not as happy with the sides as i'd like, i might go back and add a crocheted edging. maybe. depends on how long it takes me to get the 18-20 inches done

I'm going to start on some tin christmas ornaments that are made from tin cans. I've had this book for awhile now. I finally pulled it out to see if I had the tools necessary and whether I could pull it off. You'll have to cross your fingers for me.

Keep safe, Tammy. Tin is sharp and awkward to work with.

Wrennie, you can do it, it is very easy, and the "hardest" part is taking it off the loom. it feels like it is going to fall apart, but it is actually as strong as a crochet chain or length of single stitches.

Well the Scandinavian Star was a loss. That's what I get for ignoring directions. I used a smaller can and the points didn't extend past the middle part.
I can't believe how many tin cans I empty every week, wow!
It's interesting what I'm learning trying to do this project. Who knew finger nail polish is suppose to take of the stamps on a can. Or that I should be able to scrape off all the glue with a paring knife. And the icicles are easy. I'm going to do them next. I just need to find my awl.

Found my awl now I just have to get back to it. But since the tools were all out on the craft table, in the craft room. (man it is nice to be able to say that again.) I decided to go some very simple jewlery making. I love owls and they had a rhinestone one at Walmart in the craft department so I got it and some chain and some of the magnetic barrel clasps and went to work. Only took a few minutes after I unearthed the tools that were buried under all of the tin cans.

Oh do you remember that tin of buttons I bought at the auction? Well I now have the craft that will make that purchase less of an extravagance. It's bookmarks that are made by gluing 3 buttons together and then gluing them to one of those extra large paperclips and then covering the join with felt.
Since I had just decided that I was going to collect bookmarks this was perfect.
Would you believe I also found a "chosin" bookmark at Eaddies consignments too? It's a little blue elephant. I'll have to take pictures off all my different bookmarks at some point.
