A little about me

I'm an imaginitive 10 year old, and my favorite color is hot pink! I really like to make crafts when I have spare time. I also like to read. When I craft, I like to make things from the stories I read about, like Hermione's wand in the Harry Potter series. I also like to take random objects and transform into useful things! Have fun crafting & upcycling with me!

       I took a Christmas wrapping bow and put it on a hairclip. Now I have a hair clip for Christmas!

                                             I take the ordinary.........then turn it to extaordinary!

Capri Sun Purse
I took about 8 Capri Sun pouches that were washed to remove stickiness.  I stapled all of them together, so they would form a purse.  I used 2 for the bottom going overlapping the bottom of 1 pouch on to the top of another pouch.  Then I used 2 for the front and back and 1 for each side.  Then I attached a wide ribbon with staples. You can use any color of ribbon.

Hair stuff

Candy Wrapper Hair Clip
Use 2 Lollipop wrappers cut in a circle, then snip the edges to create a frayed edge.  Glue the wrappers together in the middle.  Then glue it to an alligator clip, or any hairclip.  Then if you want, you can put something in the middle.  I put glitter glue.

Colored hair braid
 Take three strands of yarn and tie a knot two inches from the ends.  Braid the yarn the length of your hair.  You can use any colors you want!  After you are done, take a bobbypin and slide it through the end and cut off any loose edges. Pin it in your hair & do a fashion dance!

Door mailbox

 This is my door mailbox.  I made it out of a paper towel roll, string, a black hanger that comes in the packaging for girls tights, colored paper and tape of course!  You will find that I use a lot of tape.  For my birthday I always ask for tape.  My mom no longer wonders where the tape dissapears to, because she already knows :). 
You know how you always want your own mailbox?  Well this one you can tape on your bedroom door and someone can put a rolled-up note inside for you.
