Hello everybody! I haven't written any post in a really looong time. :( That doesn't mean that I haven't crafted. I was working on a big project. You will see the results when it's time. :)
Here are some project from this summer...

1. Turquoise Bikini

Canvases made with decoupage technique and glue gun (TUTORIAL)

I made these canvases using decoupage technique, glue gun and acrylic colors. 

 This is how I made them:

1.  I carefully picked napkins that match.

2.  I marked lines

3.  I used a glue gun to make 3D effect on the lines.

4.  I applied the napkins on the canvas using a decoupage lacquer.

5. At the end I painted the space between the napkins.

Snowflake card

This Christmas card is traveling to Australia in my friends home. The snowflake is kind of refreshment for the summer heat over there and to remind my friend for the cold and snowy winter in Macedonia.

The snowflake can be taken off and attached on the Christmas tree or somewhere else in the home. 

I found the pattern here. (Ravelry link) 

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow ...

Here is another Christmas decor that I made. I crocheted this red Christmas bobeche.

Here you can find the pattern. I made a bigger size of it. I started with 48 ch.

Christmas Tree Motif

I already made this Christmas tree motif few times and I love it. Here is the pattern for it if you are interested. Here is the original smaller pattern for it.

I attached this Christmas Tree as an ornament  on a curtain. 

Have a great week!

Decorative decoupage jar

This jar can be used as a candle holder, for keeping candies, buttons, Christmas decoration and other stuff.

Christmas leafs ornament

Hi everybody! As you can see I'm back with my creative crafts, so today I want to show you the ornament that I made.

Here are few steps how I made it...

1. First I crocheted three leafs and sew them on a crocheted circle. 

2. Then I sew the lampions in the center of the leafs. 

3. At the end I crocheted a hook on the top of the circle.

This ornament can be hanged on the wall, on a curtain, used as a decoration on a gift or how ever you like. I hope you like it!

If you are interested to make leaves like these you can find the pattern on Ravelry.

Decorated cans

Isn't that a great idea to decorate the cans that you use for keeping stuff. I was collecting cans from different products don't knowing what I'm gonna do with them. I guess you do the same thing.

 Now they look like this...

 To decorate them I used spray, napkins, Decoupage lacquer & glue – gloss and acrylic colors. Its very easy and fast to do.

Crocheted Flowers

I found the pattern for this flower here: Crochet Flower Dishcloth (Ravelry: link)

 

 

Canvas

These canvases are very easy to make...

 

Materials that I used are:
- canvas
- silver spray
- wall sticker
I bought these canvases with thought to paint on them, but than I saw this beautiful wall sticker and I changed the plan. First I sprayed the canvas with the silver spray and I waited to get dry. Then I carefully cut the wall sticker in three pieces and I applied them on the canvas.
One part of the wall sticker was unused and I had to do something with it.
I designed another canvas similar to these three.

At the end I hanged the canvases in my room...Now I enjoy the view when I wake up. :)) 

Have a great weekend!!! ;)

Crocheted cans 3

I already made two crocheted cans like these and I blogged about it.
In this post I wrote where I found the pattern. I really like the pattern and I can't stop myself making this crocheted cans.:)

Crocheted can for keeping hooks 2

Here is another crocheted can for keeping hooks. I already made a can similar to this. I really love the pattern.

Crocheted can for keeping hooks 1

I started to crochet a small bag but I decided to crochet a can for keeping hooks. I always wanted to wrap a can with my crocheted stuff. It was a perfect moment for that because the dimensions were right.

Here is the pattern: Small Packages - Crochet Bag  (Ravelry: link )

This is where I was keeping my hooks before. :))

Easter decoration

This is a great way to use your unused old glass as an Easter decoration.

My first decoupage canvas (TUTORIAL)

Now I understand the feeling of waiting modeling paste to get dry, I was very impatient… This is something new for me. It’s my first project on canvas and I have never worked with modeling paste until now, this is so cool.

Long time I was thinking what to do with these two canvases and last week I got an inspiration from some youtube videos and I started my new project.

Materials that I used:

- Canvas

- Napkins

- Decoupage lacquer and glue – gloss

- Paintbrush

- Modeling paste

- Acrylic colors

  First I applied the the napkins on the canvas.

 Then I spreaded the modeling paste on the corners (as a frame) and I waited to get dry.

After that I painted the frame with dark red acrylic color and then with ochre color.

Here is the result.
