Ideas for other Free crafts
To end this series of blogs on free crafts, I would just like to offer a couple of other ideas.
Check out the free downloads available on-line. There are some artists that offer regular free downloads with ideas to use them such as Gi Kerr, you can find her videos on YouTube and if you join her facebook page you can access the Friday Freebies. I must point out that I do not advocate just using free downloads, as these artists have been generous with their work. I have joined her facebook page, downloaded several of her Friday Freebies and had great fun using them. I have also bought some of her projects from her Etsy store. The facebook pages are often a craft community with lots of ideas shared. Here is a link to her YouTube video
Then there is Pinterest and YouTube which offers lots of ideas for recycled crafts, that are free or cheap to make:
Stone painting - I have downloaded several pictures that have inspired me ready to paint a couple of lovely smooth stones I have been given. Below are some pins I have added to my Pinterest folder
Check out my Blog and YouTube for ideas on how to make Altered Paperclips and journal clips. A great gift for friends. Still time to have a go before school restarts.
Zip Jewellery; Here are some of my inspirations from Pinterest
Fabric flowers can be made from old ties. Simply unpick the stitches and iron out the fabric and then cut and sew new flowers for you projects. There are some lovely prints to be found with silk ties and if you can get them free from anyone just finishing work or clearing out their wardrobe, they can be a rich source for mini fabric projects.
Here is an evening bag I made from one tie
And a recent make: a flower brooch with fabric from a tie and old buttons
So that completes the idea list . Hope you found something to try.
Happy Crafting
Dee
