Lady Things.

Tampons.
We all need them and unfortunately they all come in ugly boxes.
This craft makes it possible for your tampons to be in a convenient location but not in a hideous box.
First find a jar like this.
Cut a strip that will fit as a tube in the jar.
 Use a fun bright piece of thread to sew the two ends together.
It will look like this:
If you want to make more than one jar mix up the colors.

Put the felt tubes inside of the jar.
Make some tags and tie them onto your jars.
Finally some fancy storage for your "lady things".

Pillow.

Lately I have been craving a new decorative pillow. Instead of buying one. I decided to reinvent one of the many plain tan pillows that my mother gave me earlier this year.
This upgrade was super easy, and super cheap. 
All you need is:
1Pillow
1 Felt sheet
1 Needle
and some thread. 
It took about 15 minutes, and it was the perfect addition to our bed!

Hearts.

I was digging through my craft bucket and found some felt and yarn.
 Perfect opportunity for a little snow day craft.
I just made two little slices into each heart and threaded the yarn through it.
Perfect decoration for our bathroom door.

I've also been working on a crazy long cross stitch project, and I just finished up my first yarn wreath! Not sure what if I want to add anything on to it yet, but pictures will come once I figure it out!

Melted away!

I finally attempted a craft that I have been dying to do for a long time. 
What you need is a canvas or foam poster board, crayons, and a hair dryer.
Peel all of the crayons. Your fingers might hurt, but trust me it is worth it.
Next glue the crayons to the foam board.(It is even prettier if you make a rainbow!)
Finally you just blow dry it until it begins to melt! 
This project was so much fun, and it only cost $5.00.
