Wonderful Wednesday Crafts

A couple weeks ago, I went to our relief society meeting and enjoyed their craft night.  They called it Wonderful Wednesday, but it was very much like a Super Saturday that many people are familiar with! :)  We ate yummy treats and made some super cute crafts.

(Oh and GOOD NEWS! I was playing with my camera while taking pictures for this post, and I found a cool setting that makes pictures not so fuzzy!  So hooray for upcoming non-fuzzies!)

I chose two of the crafts and I'm so excited to share them with you!  They are super simple, and are not really new, but I learned some cool tricks so I'm happy!  I made the glass magnets...

I knew that you could use modge podge for this project, but it takes forever to dry, so I was introduced to this stuff:

It's fabulous!  It dries clear, and is FAST!  I have an upcoming project that I also used this friend for. :)

I also learned to make little girl bows at Wonderful Wednesday.  I made one at the meeting, and then went home and finished them up on my self-proclaimed Super Saturday while watching General Conference.

This is the first one I ever made.  This one was SO hard for some reason.  I guess I was just trying to get the hang of it.  A friend told me, "Well just think, by the time you have a little girl at your house, you'll be a pro!"  I said, "Yeah, and I can give all the ugly ones away in the mean time!" :)

Kind of an experiment, but I think it's pretty cute!

Ohh, I have to tell you a trick I learned!  The girls at the meeting were telling us to make the bows by making a loop of ribbon and hot gluing it to make a ring.  Then you take a piece of small ribbon (that'll be covered up by the button) to make the 'bow' look.  Well, that part was way hard for me.  So I improvised.  I got out my hand dandy clear elastics for hair (the itsy bitsy ones) and wrapped it around the bow a few times to get the 'bow' look.  It was clear, and now covered up by a button, so it worked fabulously for me!

This one I made doing a ribbon flower, using  this tutorial from Little Birdie Secrets for inspiration.  For the bottom, I sort of used the same instructions, but I didn't sew on the edge of the ribbon but right down the middle to just gather it cute. 

 

Then I glued both pieces on, and wahlaa (who ever knows how to spell my expressions/sound effects!) we're done!

Thanks for reading, and more fun projects to come!  I promise!
