So I finally found a letter stencil set that works for the onesies I'm wanting to decorate for my soon to be son. My mom and dad got me a Hobby Lobby gift card for my birthday. I got the stencil, some fabric pencils and some yarn (to make a baby blanket with my knifty knitter). I've gotten one shirt done already and it turned out perfect. Now I won't be able to use the stencil for a lot of the sayings that i have because the saying's are too long and the stencil letters are too big for such a small work area, so I'll just improvise.
I also got a messenger bag kit from the craft section of wal-mart. It has a pre-made messenger bag in it with iron-on stuff that are themed around rock & roll. So what ever iron-on pics I don't use for the bag, I'll use those on the onesies'.... too bag I'm not having a girl... because a onesie with a skull with a bow on it would be too cute, lol.
I'll post pictures as soon as I get some more done. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice, definitely keeping those idea's in my brain's craft file for the future!

Wavy Glass Bottle Project?
Sep. 23rd, 2007 04:53 pmI come for advice.
I have some of these wavy glass bottles (but without the pump), sort of like these but with no decor on it.
What can I put in it? I wanted to do a cute wedding gift out of it, but without anything complicated like steeping herbs and what not...I wanted something pretty...? Any thoughts to cute-it-up?

I just repainted this dresser because, well, you can just tell by looking at it why...

Click to see what I did with it because then my request for advice will make sense.
I'm wondering what to do about handles. I would love some suggestions.
Thanks Crafty People!

Sep. 23rd, 2007 08:33 pm Let me just say first off that I LOVE this community! There are so many creative and talented members here and everytime I log in I just get more and more inspired!
So with the knowledge that everyone here has, I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get standard size replacement barbs for a clothing tagging gun (For anyone who dosen't know what I'm talking about, its the machine that retail stores use to attach the clear plasic strings with the tags to clothes.) I've voulnteered with a local drama program and have the wonderful job of labeling the numerous clothes we have and I am rapidly running out of the barbs that came with the tagger and I don't have any idea even where to start to look...
Thanks in advance for any help!

Bonjour kiddos. I'm been looking at craftgrrl for a while and have been in love with some of the things made here. I've been crafting forever, but mainly on my own because my mom thinks it's a waste of time. But now it's time to come out of the woodwork and share somethings I've been up to!
I'm been obsessed with making envelopes from magazines. Haha.

protective clothing for art activities?
Sep. 23rd, 2007 10:28 pmhey everyone,
i'm making a curriculum right now for preschoolers that revolves around some fairly messy art/craft projects. while i know it would be easy to go out and buy some smocks, i was thinking of making some "protective clothing" that would be easy to make and relatively easy to clean up. and when i'm saying "relatively easy to clean up", i mean just wiping it down with a wet cloth, not starting a load of laundry. the only thought that came to mind was throwing a garbage bag over the children and telling them to go nuts, but i don't know how well that will go over! (kids don't really care, but their parents do.)
any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
