Homemade Barbie Shoes

These barbie shoes are made from tissue paper, glue, wood and clay. I used the tissue paper and glue to paper mâché around the foot of the barbie in the shape of the shoe. Making sure put pam or vasaline on the foot first. Let the shoe completely dry and then it should slide of easily. After that take the clay and form it into a sole in the shape of the bottom of the barbie foot leave it on the foot and add a small piece of rowel for the heel and form some clay around the top by the sole to help secure it. Bake as per clay instructions. When cool glue to paper mâché piece and paint as desired.

Inspirations

I thought I would take a minute to talk about the things and people that inspire me most.
First of I love the Martha Stewart Show she gives me most of my inspiration I love to follow her show and website.
Secondly I love to follow all you craft bloggers out there you guys have the best ideas and inspiration out there.
Lastly recycling inspires me. I know I know you are like what? But I live to repurpose and reuse things in order to make beautiful creations.
So to all you crafters out there get inspired.

Homemade Business Cards

These are my home made business cards to advertise my blog and the things I make and sell. I have pieced them together from two different papers and then sewn them to add that crafting flare. Thank you sewwoodsy.blogspot.com for the inspiration.

Halloween decor

Halloween is my favorite holiday with all the spooky and eerie themes and decor. I like to be very scary on all hallows eve. I have made a hand spun spiders web and a giant spiders egg sac. On the door I have put together 5 skulls and after they were hung on the door they are covered in spiders webs and spiders. In my flower pots I have hand painted grave stone boxes that happened to be the perfect size for the flower pots. I have also created a paper and craft foam lantern to hang from the over hang. Happy Halloween get creative.
