So I am so sorry about the lame poll issue this week. I’m hoping this won’t be an issue going forward, but if anyone of you knows of a better option, I’m open to suggestions. Here are the official results of the polls.
So, here are those numbers assigned to their rightful crafters.
Congratulations Kim! I love those, but not as much as I’m sure my Abbi would. The tutorial will be up in a few days so be watching for it.
However, we have to make our first goodbye of the season. Taylor and her Spring Centerpiece won’t be going on.
But if there is a good week to go home, this week is it. Taylor has a lot going on in her life right now, and some of it is pretty exciting. Are any of you in the Houston TX area than her exciting news could be pretty exciting for you too. She just opened up an awesome retail store! But, if sadly like me, you’re not anywhere near Texas, you can see all her crafty goodness on her blog, Taylor Made.
Stay tuned for the the exciting next episode of SYTYC !
*Sorry this is late everybody! Apparently I need to review what “am” & “pm” mean. I totally scheduled it for the wrong time!*
Well, here we are at another week. And this one is a pretty important one. But before I get into that, lets review the winner and who’s going home from last week.
Bessie @ Besserina pulled in the most votes with her Primitive Burlap Pumpkins.
I think those are totally adorable! And burlap just seems so “fall” to me.
Although it was a tight race, we have to let Emily go this week.
I thought her Candy Corn Corn was really clever! She has a bunch of other great stuff on her blog, Nap Time Creations. You should go check it out. You won’t be disappointed :)
First off, thank you for your kind comments about my taking the week off. It was much needed and I’m pretty sure we’re all better now. I hope you all had a great week too.
How outrageously awesome is that? I know a few little boys (and girls for that matter) that would love one of those.
The bad news is that we have to say goodbye to Terra from Mama Says Sew.
Her Swirled Circles Lamp would look so cute in a nursery wouldn’t it? Be sure to check out her blog to see her other great stuff.
When I planned the challenges for this season I thought this weeks theme would be perfect timing. But now that this week is here, I realize it’s a little too late in this neck of the woods. All our Fall Colors have fallen to the ground. I hope it’s still gorgeous where you are. Just like always, the poll will be Read more
So my week started out a little rough (fyi – driving from Cleveland to Minneapolis with only your 2 year old daughter takes way longer than planned when you get the flu and have to stop every 10 minutes…and it’s no fun), but it got drastically better when my best friend/sister-in-law and her family flew in for a visit. How did your week go?
Celeste from Celestial’s Creations pulled in a win with her Fish Bowl Matching Game.
It was a huge hit and we’ll have the tutorial up soon.
First off I have to apologize for being an idiot last week. I had my domain set up to auto re-register for me, but apparently it wasn’t so auto. Now I feel like an idiot for letting the blog expire for the day. Thank you all for putting up with me and being patient
Now, moving past my embarrassment… Bessie made a spectacular first showing for the season and won herself the first round!
Wasn’t her little Flour Sack Outfit so adorable? Congrats Bessie!
We had a SYTYC first last week. There was a tie for the last place. Since that had never happened before I wasn’t sure how to handle it. Who should go home and who should stay? After getting some input, from the crafters, facebook & twitter my plan was solidified. Both Allie (with her Triple Braid Necklace) and Terra (with her Twine Vase) get to stay this week!
However, keeping them both this week creates a problem for the rest of the season so…2 people will be sent home this week That means your votes this week for the Thrift Store Craft challenge are doubly important!
Polls will be open until 9 pm CST so make sure you vote and send your friends over too!
I found this little table at a Thrift Store for $5.
The rattan was falling apart, it was chipped and scuffed and needed some serious TLC.
After sanding, priming, painting, distressing, glazing and sealing ~ my table was transformed!
But what to do about the rattan?
Why cut it out and replace it with a custom cushion of course.
And the cushion was super fun to create!
My sad thrifted table became a lovely little bench.
It was loads of work but the end result….
Gorgeous!
Craft #2 – Typographical Art Globe by Jessica @ Mad In Crafts
I was STOKED when I found this plastic globe at a local thrift store for $2! I have seen globes in so many home décor catalogs, but they are always way out of my price range. After admiring the work of ImagineNations, I was inspired to turn this average globe into an art piece. Any work of art should sit in a place of honor, so I also used a few parts from an old brass lamp to create a lovely pedestal for the globe.
I am a nut for typography, so I decided to create the continents out of letters in three different fonts. I feel like the typography gives the piece, which could look really stuffy, a very contemporary look.
This is completely a DIY that any crafter could do too! With supplies you might already have in your house, you can transform an old globe and a nasty lamp into a hip conversation piece for your home!
We picked up this dirty, under-filled bean bag at a garage sale for $1. We caught the seller at the tail end of his sale, and I think he was desperate to get rid of it.
I cut the cover into circles and used the bean bag filling to make five floor poufs.
The color of the poufs didn’t really match anything in my house, so I used fabric circles and yarn to make some fun covers.
These poufs are great for foot rests, back rests, story time, building “towers,” and making hardwood floors fit for seating during a movie. I also think they’d make a great little time out spot (you know, for the kids who like to knock over your poufs when you’re trying to take pictures…).
I started out with a pile of T-shirts I bought on dollar day at Goodwill.
My little guy was in desperate need of a few new shirts for fall so I decided to cut these shirts up to make something that would fit him.
So I laid out one of his favorite old hoodies, cut up four different shirts, and started sewing.
Here he is “not” modeling his new shirt.
It has a pocket in front to hide treasures, a hood to keep him warm, and apparently it is perfect for a day on the town eating frozen yogurt.
Craft #5 – Fear Less, Hope More by Bessie @ Besserina
Thrift! One of my favorite words, {and things to do!}
I created this large piece of wall art from an old wooden frame that I thrifted, a linen tablecloth from an estate sale, and some vintage foral cotton sheets, also thrifted!
The frame is a whopping 3 1/2′ x 2 1/2′ and I love it! It’s perfectly worn. The backing is old linen, and the letters were each hand cut and sewn.
Fear less, hope more
Eat less, chew more
Whine less, breathe more
Talk less, say more
Hate less, love more
and all good things
will be yours.
-Swedish Proverb
Inspiring, unique and adds so much interest and curiosity and to our living space!
Like many crafters/hoarders, I have a growing pile of thrift store finds waiting to be re-vamped, but for this challenge I didn’t feel like any of those options were fun enough. I went shopping last minute and got so super lucky! I found an awesome peach eyelet queen-sized bedskirt (top left) and a 4 piece something (bottom right) that may or may have not matched the bedskirt with these really great orange pleats surrounded by a vintage-y lace. SO cute. I didn’t know what I’d use them for when I bought them (which is usually what happens to me in thrift stores), but I knew I needed them.
Finally I knew that precious peach eyelet needed to be a little girl’s skirt.
And so was born the two-tiered, lined skirt for my friend’s little girl with a matching flower shirt.
The only way we could get any pictures of her was to play peek-a-boo. How sweet is she?! I made the orange pleating part into a casing and slid wide elastic in to create the waist. I just love how the little skirt turned out. My friend’s daughter loved it too. She was super sad when I had to take the outfit home with me to take more pictures.
The little top is one I found on clearance at Wal-Mart and the American flag on it is completely covered by the flower. It also has the vintage-y lace from the fabric I got at the thrift store sewn to the sleeves and collar.
Then since my friend is expecting another little girl, I just had to make a little matching onesie dress. Even though I made this one second, it might be my favorite. So precious. The two little girls are planning on having pictures taken in their new matching outfits after sister #2 makes her appearance!
Hope you love them as much as I do!
Craft #7 – Chic Framed Necklace Holder by Margo @ Art Surrounds Us
When searching through the thrift store I found this beautiful frame that needed some sprucing up. Then I came across the cork board and I knew what I wanted to do with them. All I needed to to was add a couple more supplies and I was ready to go.
We are updating my daughter’s room and what I had made before for all her necklaces wasn’t working anymore so I took the idea and ran with it and made her this new more “mature” one to use.
Craft #8 – Dress Up Suitcases by Carlee @ Lady Bird Lane
Let’s Play Dress Up!
My kids love to play dress up! But somehow dress up clothes end up in every room in our house! I thought it was high time I upgrade the cardboard dress up box in the closet. So I headed to the thrift store and found these beautiful…. well okay kind of stinky, kind of old, hard plastic suitcases. At $2 a piece I couldn’t be more excited!
I decorated two suitcases one for the boys and one for the girls… I have to admit I had a lot of fun *blinging* out these suitcases! I just love the circle pattern, and the ribbon edging! I couldn’t stop at the outside, I had to make sure the inside was bright and fun too!
I made my little boy a cowboy themed suitcase, complete with rope trim, a denim luggage tag, and hanky lining ~ Yee-Ha!
My kids love it..I could not get through the photo shoot without them wanting to dig in and play!
I was so excited for this challenge because I tackled a long overdue project. I had been wanting to get a car-themed clock for my kids bedroom for a while now. I had looked everywhere, in stores and online, and couldn’t seem to find what I was looking for. So, of course, I just made what I wanted. I found this great “rainbow” clock at the thrift store for $5 and transformed it to exactly what I had been looking for. There’s not much scrapbook paper and a little mod-podge can’t do!
I think my favorite part is the dump truck in the middle that rotates (like a seconds hand). On the original the rainbow went around and I wasn’t sure if I could remake this part, but I did.
It really goes great with the room and was just what I wanted. LOVE IT!
Craft #10 – Octagon End Table by Terra @ Mama Says Sew
I found this end table at a thrift store a couple of months ago and loved the octagon shape. That, and the fact that it was only $4.99. So I grabbed it, not knowing what I was going to do with it. So it sat. And sat. Then I got around to sanding it. And it sat some more. Enter So You Think You’re Crafty. Suddenly, motivation to get it done!
I stained the top and painted the bottom, then used a glaze to make it look antique instead of just old.
Once it was finished, I took it out to the side of a country road at sunset after a rainy day to get some pictures. {And probably made every passing car think I was nuts.}
I love the detail on the front doors. That was one of the reasons I knew this end table had potential when I saw it. Aren’t thrift stores great? And I remember being so embarrassed going to them when I was little. Times change.
Here we are again at the start of a new season. I’m so stoked for this time around. Don’t those 10 ladies look so fun! I can’t wait to get to know them all better. Here is a list of their blogs. You should all run over and look at them real fast. You won’t regret it
There is also a little bio about each of them here that will also list all their SYTYC projects as the season progresses, so be sure to keep up to date with that, too.
So here you have it. Week 1 of season 9 – the Dollar Store Craft challenge. Voting will be open until 9pm MST on Friday the 9th.
Craft #1 – Magnet Travel Games by Carlee @ Lady Bird Lane
Since I live nearly 60 minutes away from the nearest ‘dollar’ store, I
thought it only appropriate to make car activities to keep my kiddos
busy! I created interchangeable magnet car games using mainly
dollar store items.
Dollar Store Items:
12 inch metal platter (it has about a 1″ lip around the edge)
ABC magnets (SCORE!)
Dinosaur figures
Decorative towels
Non dollar store items include craft magnets, magnet paper, and modge podge.
Each
Magnet ‘Game Console’ has a super cool main game, and additional
games that can lay on top. I adapted the car bingo game from a
free printable, and created the rest of the games in Photoshop.
This is such a FUN project because it is so versatile, and you can
keep adding new games! I also love the fact that the tray and
all of the pieces can be stored in a simple drawstring bag I made from
a dollar store towel!
Homemade magnet car game console…………………………$6.75 each
A happy car ride………………………………………………………priceless!
Craft #2 – Plastic Animal Bookends by Jessica @ Mad In Crafts
I can’t tell you how many different project ideas I had for this first week’s challenge! My goal for this first theme was to show how easy it is to make something useful and expensive-looking from dollar store materials.
I chopped some plastic animal toys in half and glued them to acrylic photo frames to create fun, silly bookends.
The dreaded dachshund/tiger hybrid makes an adorable set of bookends for a child’s room. Since the acrylic frames are clear, it looks as though the tiger is pouncing right out of the book! RAWR!
For a more sophisticated look, I applied a coat of ORB to both an elephant and a lion head (made the same way as the tiger) to create faux bronze bookends. Real bronze bookends are pricey, but these will only set you back $4! They are a majorly simple way to add some global flair to your bookshelves.
For a funkier look for a teen’s room, you could swap the ORB spray paint for a neon or metallic color. The dollar store stocks a wide variety of plastic toys, so let your imagination run WILD!
This dollar store challenge had me a bit nervous… I wasn’t sure what I would find when I went “shopping”. Fortunately as soon as I saw these plastic table clothes, I knew what I would be making! The colors I found are actually perfect for our kitchen and match great!
I used a five-strand braid for the rug (I cut up the table clothes into long strips to braid) and laced it together with more plastic thread. It seems very durable and great for a kitchen where it will get wet and need to be cleaned. I think I can just wash off the whole thing when I need to. I varied the colors as I was braided to give the different circles in the rug different looks.
I’m really loving the way it turned out and its great to stand on while washing the dishes (barefoot in the kitchen)…. Don’t you just love how it matches my curtains, artwork and towels.
I love that you can find all sorts of things at the Dollar Store.
I threw together this project using wooden clothes pins, fabric petals, gold sequins, copper wire and a whole lot of hot glue!
And created over twenty clothes pin and petal butterflies to accent my space.
I love having things around the home that are multipurpose. These butterflies were no exception. I can use the clothes pins to hang hair accessories, jewellery or even the kids’ art projects!!
And finally a detailed look.
Oh what a little creativity and a hot glue gun can do.
When cruising the Dollar Tree I knew what I wanted to do as soon as I saw these supplies. Like most families now a days we are having to cut back on some of the outings that we do. One of the big ones for us is going to the movies, with a family of 4 and a price tag of $35 just to get in not to mention concessions, its just something we really can’t bring ourselves to do anymore. So we have movie night at home with a movie rental and movie candy and popcorn from the dollar store which can all be done for the price of just one ticket.
For our new movie popcorn bowl I used a plastic punch bowl, tickets and mod podge. I switched back and forth between the two ticket colors and put an extra layer of mod podge over them all to seal the bowl.This project only cost me $3, you can’t beat that!
Then simply add popcorn and the movie candy we are ready for movie night!!!! Now who has the remote?
Craft #7 – Flower Sack Outfit by Bessie @ Besserina
I have to admit, I was a little nervous about this weeks theme “Dollar Store Crafts.” I went to 4 different Dollar Stores in neighboring towns searching for inspiration. One item that continued to catch my attention at each store was a package of flour sack kitchen towels. They were simple, white, 100% cotton and best of all, $3.00 for a package of 3! On the drive home, I drew this little outfit for my baby girl in my head, I couldn’t wait to get started!
I appliqued the bird, branches, flowers and leaves with fabric scraps. (I’m always excited to dive into my scrap bin. Makes me feel so resourceful!) All around the bottom I sewed 2 layers of ruffled strips of the flour sack towel. Sewed up the sides and arm holes, and gathered it up. Then I added a ruffle around a pair of her jeans, and made a sweet flower for her hair out of scraps and another strip of ruffled flour sack.
She plans to wear it while visiting her Meemaw’s garden & playing with her kitties, Rosemary & Peppermint.
Materials Used:lace window valence ($6) and (actually 3-had to go back for more) women’s necklaces ($1.50 each) all found at Dollar General
What I came up with: a fun and playful triple-braided lace necklace with interchangeable accents: a flower and a bow.
Here’s a close-up of the braid. It’s kinda hard to tell how many braids I actually did to make it that thick, but I think it turned out super cool looking. I used the chain from the extra necklaces I had to go back and braided them in with the second set of braids so there’s just a touch of shine to the braid.
I used velcro to attach the bow and the flower so they could be changed.
This challenge was so fun! At first I never dreamed I’d come up with this upon browsing through several dollar stores. I’ll have to pop in dollar stores more often and think about how I can repurpose some cheap items! Hope you like it!!
I love the Dollar Store Crafts challenge. I mean what better challenge than to work with products from a store not known for its mad crafting supplies.
So while I was there I had a genius idea. I would make an ombre ruffled shower curtain. I grabbed a bunch of shower curtains and headed home to get started.
Now I had several shower curtains and nothing to do until it struck me, make a Chevron Shower Curtain.
Chevron is hot right now (an understatement) and I have paint so why not.
I got things started on my basement floor, added chevron stripes and…
I need let it dry overnight. Now I just needed to hang it up.
I love Chevron, now I want to remake my bedroom into a black and white haven.
Oh and the total cost for the new shower curtain $1.00. Not bad because when I looked up Chevron Shower Curtains they run between $78.00 and $95.00 each.
The Dollar Store category had me shaking in my boots. Dollar stores are not usually a place I go when I am looking for craft supplies. After a couple of trips, during which I spent almost as much time cleaning up after my children as I did searching for ideas, I came up with this twine covered vase.
I’ve seen rope bowls around, and I liked the idea of tweaking that to make a rope vase, but unfortunately all the rope was bright red, blue or yellow. I did find a nice neutral twine. And there were lots of different glass vases to chose from.
So I got the twine and the vase and after wrapping and wrapping and wrapping I ended up with this pretty vase for only $2 {plus I don’t know how many gluesticks}.
Hey Everyone! So we finally got a new computer, but for some reason it won’t recognize the internet at our house. Thank goodness for free wi-fi at the library while storytime is going on I still haven’t loaded photoshop and stuff on here yet so all the pretty stuff will be coming soon. Hopefully this weekend. Thanks for being so patient with me!
I’m sure you’ve all been waiting to find out how did which of the projects from the auditions since they were all so great. I love the auditions because I always find somemany new great blogs – a lot of which are just starting out! You 14 did an amazing job. I’m so impressed by your talents and what you can ncome up with and whip together in a matter of days. You’re so cool! So, here is the list of who did what this time around:
Thanks you again to all teh crafters for their hard work, and for all of you voters for making it so fun! Season 9 will be coming up in just a week or so. Are you excited?
*P.S. – I’m part of the BlogHer book club and my review of ‘A Good Hard Look’ by Ann Napolitano is now live. It’s one of those books that you can’t put down but leave you unsure of how you feel about it once you’ve finished. I think I’ve decided that it was great. Go read the reviews and see if you would like it too!
Last week was such a close week too! But that’s not really a surprise since all the crafts are always so awesome.
Laura @ Emmielu Designs was a winner last week with her Photo Board. How cute is that?
However, we have to say good-bye to Ashley from Not Just Grannies. Her cash register didn’t quite make the cut.
Her blog is so fun though! Everybody run over there and check it out. Be sure to spread the bloggy love with her too!
And since I’m sure you’re all wondering, here is the rest of the line up from last week.:
#1 – Fabric Tea Set – Ashley T #2 - Photo Board – Laura #3 - Kid-Friendly Cash Register – Ashley L #4 – Explorer Sash – Randi
Now, without further ado, here is Thrift Store week! Voting, like always, will be open until Friday night.
This week I made a thrift store photo prop package!
I found the gray knit fabric along time ago at a thrift store on a bolt : ) I was super excited! I hadn’t ever used it because I never really sewed with knits before so I broke it out and figured out a way to use it. I made the leg warmers and headband out of the knit fabric (after much research).
This is what it looks like all put together
Close up of the headband. I used the garage sale scrap fabric to wrap around her tummy and for the rosette on the headband.
I love altering a good thrifty treasure so this week’s challenge was a lot of fun. I took a $1 cabinet door from ReStore and turned it into a jewelry holder.
I knocked the panels out, then painted the door blue (using leftover paint found in the garage), distressed it, and gave it a light glaze to shabby it up a bit.
I replaced the panels with window screen to hold earrings and, after giving it a spray of glossy white, kept the door handle for hanging necklaces and bracelets. I also left the hinges intact and used them to attach the cabinet door to the wall.
I was so happy with the way this jewelry holder turned out and the recipient loves it!
I love shopping at thrift stores for craft inspiration & other goodies … I am not ashamed to say that some of my favorite clothes once graced the racks of Goodwill On a recent trek, I scored some funky shaped lampshades and decided they would make the perfect base for my project this week. I also found a cute fitted sheet & a few t-shirts that I shredded up to make some funky flowers. What I created was a funky, fun light fixture for my spare bedroom that I can also use to display pictures!
I added in the ribbon to add a pop of color && used bobby-pins to attach pictures to the lampshade frame.
This light fixture was SUPER easy to make & only cost me
So, who was your weekend? Mine started out a little shaky (a trip to the ER for what they thought was appendicitis, but just turned out to be a kidney infection) but improved very quickly when my fantastic in-laws showed up at our door after a 20 hour drive from Utah. They just left this morning and Abbi is having major withdrawls, but the weekend was a blast!
Since we had family visiting I didn’t keep track of the polls during the week. You guys sure had a favorite. Randi from Dukes and Duchesses grabbed another win this week with her T-Shirt Yarn Knit Market Bag. Isn’t it great?
Although the winner was clear, there were only 4 votes separating 5th place from 3rd place! I think that may be the closest the votes have ever been! Amy was the one that was just nudged out of the competition.
Isn’t this Placemat tote so fun, though? I love how bright and sunny it is. It’s the perfect summer tote. She has some great stuff on her blog (especially some super adorable knit toys that I totally love!) so you should all jump over to Spicy Tuesday Crafts and give her some blog lovin.
This week brings us to 4 crafters. That means that the 3 that move on will be getting a spectacular gift from one of our awesome sponsors. Need a reminder of what they’re competing for? You can always see all the info on the “What They’ll Win” page, but here’s a quick run down. Thank you so much sponsors!!
I think this is my favorite week yet!! I had so much fun making this!
I have been wanting to make a fabric tea set for a while now. It kept lurking around in my “things to make” list but I hadn’t found the time to do it. Well.. what a perfect week in the competition to do it!
This is such a fun thing for me and the kids to do. It is washable, and doesn’t hurt when you get hit in the head with it! : )
For this weeks challenge I set out to create something that my 8 year old cousin could make easily with just a bit of help. I used a painted piece of wood as a base and with some glue and a staple gun [which even she can use under supervision] I was left with this adorable Photo Board.
The close pins are great for displaying her artwork and you can tuck tons of pictures into the criss-crossed ribbon across the board.
What kid doesn’t LOVE cash registers? I was able to score this working cash register at the thrift store for $10. Biggest. Score. Ever. So glad that receipt paper and ink ribbons are cheap, because we have been printing receipts out like crazy around here. Even better, my husband pulled the scanner out of a dumpster! Score #2!
First stop, Homeland! So glad we have a stack of laminated coupons that (conveniently) match all of the specials today! And, what do you know, Homeland is having an unlimited quadruple coupon special today with cash back for all overage!
That extra cash will be very convenient for our next stop, Chick Fil A!
The buttons have pictures that match the coupon items and also buttons with their favorite Chick Fil A menu items. The apron has a snap that can change “logos” from Homeland to Chick Fil A.
Don’t forget your receipt! Thank you for shopping with us today!
For the Kids Can Do project, I chose something that would provide an activity for a child and encourage outdoor play: An Explorer Sash. The sash is worn across a child’s body and has child-size tools within reach.
I deliberately kept the edges rough when sewn so that, over time, they’ll get a frayed rugged feel to them. Rugged matches the boys I know.
Every tool can be snapped off when it’s used and then hooked right back on after so it won’t get lost. A compass will keep the little explorer headed in the right direction, a whistle can be used to call for assistance or ward off animals {my little explorer hopes for the latter}, a notebook will record the day’s adventures, and tools that brush, dig, and tweeze can be used for dinosaur excavation, bug hunting, or creek exploration.
A mesh pocket can hold bugs or other treasures and will Velcro closed to prevent escape. An extra carabiner hangs from the bottom of the sash to hook on any extras an explorer might need.
I’m sure this explorer sash will encourage lots of adventure in our home.
