Spirograph-Inspired Bead Pendant

I made a new crafting video!

If you have things you want me to make tutorials for, let me know. I'm pretty good and figuring out how to make things.

The Popsicle-Stick Purse Continues...

Making some progress and learning some things about making a popsicle-stick purse.

Show Notes:

1. Popsicle stick count: 600 and still going...

2. This (see image) doesn't look like a purse, so guess what? It's now two bowls!

3. Two new approaches:

A. A purse - 12 stick square base with 4 stick overlay at 45 degree angle

B. Another bowl! I'm bowl crazy! My octagons are getting better.

4. More supplies: Another bottle of glue and a lazy Susan (big help)

5. More images and (hopefully) a finished purse next week. Stay tuned.

The Popsicle-Stick Purse Continues...

My adventures in Popsicle-Stick Purse Craft

Show Notes:
1. 3rd time's the charm
2. Building up becomes building down
3. Nearly 300 sticks down and counting!
4. More glue and a lazy Susan...
