I am a Crafter
I am a crafter.
I have a Crafting closet that is filled
to the gills with supplies for any
craft imaginable. You want to Quilt?
Mosaic? How about glass bead making?
No? Papier Mache? or is it lamp making
your cup of tea? Still no? Writing
songs or novels? I've got it all. I do
wish i had a kiln though. Polymer clay
is fun and all but it has me wanting
more..lol
About 18 months ago, i was making
stuffed animals for my not yet born
daughter and any child that was
interested. I had bought this 2 pound
bag of felt for like $3 at A.C. Moore.
I made 3 stuffed animals and stopped
when i had issues with Norma (that's my
sewing machine Norma Rae). I hadn't
figured out that you can't use hand
quilting thread in a sewing machine
yet. Anyway, i blew the dust off the
bag and had tons of embroidery thread
and magnets from another forgotten
project (naughty glass marble magnets-
i took pics and text from porn mags and
pasted them onto magnets). The result
was these fun felt animal magnets.
I got the idea from my fav
website project page. She made some for
Valentine's day (i didn't stuff mine
with cotton but with stuffing courtesy
of Walmart's craft section). I went an
extra step and made animals.
I didn't have patterns so i had to wing
it mostly. I used Corel sometimes.
For my dolphins, sea horses and whales
i actually used some left over birthday
wrapping paper i snatched from a
friend's son's 1st bday party garbage.
I'm proud of the results!
With this project i suggest going to
Lowes and purchasing the strongest
ceramic magnet (says so in the top
left corner) and NO glue gun. Glue
guns- to me- lack longevity. I used
LiquiNails. Just a smear. Have fun
and good luck!
