craftgrrl | my little craftiness :)

i figured since i'm part of this community i should contribute more. well..i'm not the craftiest person in the world but i do little things.

such as this project:
covering plain old 97 cent composition notebooks with various fabrics. i think i did a good job. i made one for myself and stuck googly eyes, and wrote on it with some fabric paint. because i don't have any cool toys to play with i used the frabic glue to glue the babric to the notebook. i wonder if it will stay for years? it's stayed for the two weeks i've had it. i also made one for my grandmother for mothers day. on hers i put two strips of the frabic under a googly eye so that she coudl tie it closed. hehe.
the frabics i have were fairly cheap and a yard is way more than enough. the googly eyes cost very little for a nice sized pack. and then the notebooks are less than a dollar. the frabric glue was i think less than 2 bucks. a cheap little craft. :)

i wish i had a camera so i could take a picture. i plan on doing lots more of these things and adding verious little do-dads as i go. i was thinking of making one using family pictures. i think that'd be a cool one.

something else:
question: has anyone here seen the free aol disks that are in cd case sized packets? they're not the aol tins, their cardboard, or something, that is filmy. very smooth, filmy, plastic feeling. i picked them up at a grocery store. i think they'd be fun to decorate but this filmy outside scares me. i'm wondering if i'd have to scratch the surface a little to get things to stick to it, or if i should just cover it up with frabric or something?
