I've made no secret of my love of Pinterest and it is a great source of inspiration, and I have even tried some ideas in the past. There is actually really funny pics of 'Pinterest fails' but I am glad to say that I have been luckier than that. Check out the some fails here
All that aside, here are 10 crafty ideas that I am hoping to try....
1. A new home for my wool.
I have seen many ideas but I like the idea of displaying it in some sort of shaded way such as presented in this image. Another good way is to use a pin board but this to me seemed less hassle. How do you store your wool?

2. Pretty crochet ideas.
I taught myself how to crochet....sort of...I need more practice and I need to work out how to read a crochet pattern! Its double dutch to me but it is something that I want to improve on and become better at as some crafts that I think I might try such as amigurumi are all crocheted. I saw this crochet on pinterest and the colours alone drew me in. Can you crochet? How did you learn?

3. Snowflake perfection.
I don't know about you but every christmas when I try to make snowflakes they always come out okay and I always have to double check how i am folding the paper and where should be cutting. I have pinned this for future reference, So watch out Christmas 2015!

4. Relief tiles
I used to like ceramics at school but throwing pots never appealed to me, I much preferred relief work and had some success with it. When I come across pins such as this one it makes me think of giving it another try.

5. Polymer clay
I have seen some amazing things made with this stuff, I am not convinced mine would be anywhere near recognisable but to try it and know how hard it is can give you a new found respect for such things.

6. Glass jars
I like these as I like blue glass and it is probably a good idea for parties or themed events as they are easy to make and relatively low cost yet can set a scene. The only problem i have with this particular design is that it looks like it could get messy if you don't have a steady hand for all that filigree like stuff.

7. Christmas crafts
As christmas approaches I think about tree decorations, I used to collect one a year until the fire of 2013...lol! and I have another bad habit of leaving it too late, I should really start making these things in the Summer. This decoration I do like and hope to attempt this year so give me a nudge if you don't see a post about it.

8. Toilet roll ideas
Please please bare with me on this one...yes, I know that toilet roll crafts have a tendency to look cheap and tacky but it is a toilet rolll! I remember at school making a snowman and a Santa out of them. I do like to recycle however and so if I could find a good use for them....this one is kinda fun? no? Whats your best recycling tip?

9. Kinder egg insides
Another recylcing idea...this combines number 8 and number 2...cute and there are so many ideas.

10. Sand Art
I have opted for this one, and a how-to on making coloured sand because whilst on our recent holiday they had this Sand Art as a kids craft and I helped my nieces with it. It was easy to do as the bowls were sunken in a table top so mess was minimal, and the picture was a peel off the part you want to be a certain colour and it will be sticky and then pour sand on and shake off the excess and hey presto kind of picture. The results were nice and I thought the girls would enjoy doing it again.
Is there a craft that you want to try? Let me know in the comments.
Great list! There are some great ideas there, especially the snow flakes. I've pinned a few to help me too. Pinterest is great and dangerous at the same time. Good luck attempting any of these.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I don't have a crafty bone in my body. The only reason why I can cross stitch is because I see it more as pattern reading or color by numbers than actual craft. I always wanted to learn to quilt, but since I can't sew, I'm pretty much screwed on that front. Same with knitting and crocheting...I was taught to cross stitch after epic fails of my step-dad's mother trying to teach me to knit and crochet. Then she tried to teach me embroidery, but I never could do all the different stitches required. So she basically told me a monkey could cross stitch and so this monkey performed as ordered and it kind of stuck.
