Projects I Hope To Complete Before 2016

Saturday, August 1, 2015

It's been soooo long since I got a chance to craft. I know, I know no matter how busy you are you can always make time. I've done a total botch job at taking care of my health this year, and have majorly slacked in terms of keeping up with my hobbies. I'm hoping to do a better job at it this year and finally complete some of the projects I've had on my list (and Pinterest) for ages. Here are some of those projects along with their links.


Scrapbook. I've been working on a scrapbook for so long, but never managed to complete it. I've printed out a bunch of pictures, got pretty paper, embellishments, and have a lot of ideas but I just never got around to completing it. I'm hoping to finish it by the end of this year, or at least add my most memorable memories to my scrapbook!



Customized wine glass. I made one for my mom this past Mother's Day, and have been itching to make one for myself since. I dipped the stem in white-gold glitter and then wrote "Mom" in fancy letters on the main portion of the glass using a metallic Sharpie. I want to recreate a similar wine glass for myself, except write "Cheers" or something fun on the glass.


Glitter-dipped mason jars. Another glittery craft! (can you tell that I love glitter??) I think silver-glittered, clear mason jars would look so beautiful on my dresser, especially to store my makeup brushes. It's so easy to add glitter onto literally any surface with Mod Podge, a foam brush, and some loose glitter, and it looks incredibly amazing and spices up your space.


Decorative fall pillows. It's no secret that I cannot wait for fall. I also really want to get into sewing this year and the easiest sewing project for beginners are pillow covers. And the best part is that you can customize them a million different ways by choosing different types of fabrics, appliqués, designs, shapes, sizes, etc etc. I'm hoping to make some crimson square pillows for this fall season and then adding this adorable patchwork pumpkin design to add a bit of fall to my apartment.  


Fall centerpiece. I've always wanted to make my own centerpiece, but never make one since I don't have a formal table to set it on. However, I think I may make one this year using some pinecones, fake leaves, plastic pumpkin, candles, etc and then set it on our kitchen counter or windowsill, or somewhere eye-catching. This is such a fun little craft that again you can customize a billion different ways.
