Craft Fail & Dollar Store Crafts!

 Craft Fail………..and Dollar Store Crafts. You know how I love bargains! (she’s a busy gal……she also runs CROQZine) She has a TON of ideas. Some very very simple that you could throw together in a flash for those times when you need something STAT for the kids……..like this soap idea. What a way to personalize a bar of soap……..perfect for any event you’re having……You might not want to use a pirate tattoo for a bridal shower though.
But on Craft Fail……..she shows what happens when you add too much of one color…….cheddar cheese soap………..or it at least looks like cheddar cheese. 

We’ve all had our share of failed crafts……so irritating isn’t it? Well now you have a place to share your failures too. You may as well get a few pats on the back………the effort was the same in making it right? This is so cool! She teaches you how to make these beads out of plastic Pop bottles! SHUT UP! You know how excited I get when people recycle. Which I heard from a few of you in Utah…….and that you DO recycle…….WHOOO HOOO……..My goal is to get curbside recycling for all in Utah…….as a part of their garbage pick up……..included in their bill. In fact she’s quiet obsessed with making things out of plastic…….she says we already all know that you can make shrinky dinks from a certain number plastic………..I didn’t know that! Love the Internets…….love crafty blogs. She does however show up a shrinky dink project gone bad….. It looked like it was going to be pretty cool. On Dollar Store crafts……here are some curling ribbon coasters. These look pretty cool, but I can tell you right now…..this looks like it takes patience…….that is not something I am gifted with. Not in the craft dept anyway. More Dollar Store Crafts………..a tote made from a place mat. Apparently you can make shorts from a dish towel too…….But I suggest measuring first so you don’t end up on Craft Fail. This just makes me howl!
If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you know how much I love me a topiary. I don’t care if their fake………..but a marshmallow Peep one may be too much for me. But it was worth a try………now we know. Craft Fail.
Why not make everyone think you’re crazy……or maybe just a free spirit………Heck they’re only a dollar………stick stuffed animals to your head phones. If we all did that, then we’d know we were fellow blog readers! It could be our little way of being in our own special group.

She gets a bit crafty with her food prep. I actually like this. I think it’s really cute.

One day she thought she would try her hand at making some cute softies……in the shape of cookies…….she even took them to an event with other mom’s………..who kindly pointed out that they look like boobies……Craft Fail………but she was able to add another color and somehow salvaged them……..

Soap making……….pretty simple………I actually think it’s pretty cool she was able to make this scene……she’s pretty talented to be able to make a nuclear blast soap. Craft Fail. I love it.

Make sure you grab something cool to drink and maybe have a snack and arm’s length……you’re going to be there for awhile.
