craftgrrl | Crafts from my now-finished exam week.

Well, it was exam week last week, so because of all the extra time when I should have been studying/ needed to stop studying and just look at something without any relevance to science in any way I had a crafting spree. Here are some of the crafts that I actually took pictures of before giving away and whatnot.

Handmade book.
. I was bored, and I had a large stack of paper, some cardboard and some fabric. It actually took very little effort and turned out verywell for someone who wasn't even looking at it while binding/ measuring the pages (which I could have paid a bit more attention to). Basically just a blue hardcover book which -was- all blank on the inside, 200 pages. I''m currently using it as a mini sketchbook/ to do list book. Took a little over 2 hours while watching my video of Wicked.

Closed book, sorry for the piece of dirt on the cover, I was just after dropping it whilst outside.

Open book, notice teh awesome binding job.

Pop can tab choker.
. A friend asked me to make this for them... so I did. Just a blue easily bendable wire and about 40 pop can tabs strung together. Turned out really well, but I preferr my pop can tab belt. Only took like 15/20 minutes to make while watching tv.

A collection of Kanzashi flowers.
. I made about eight, but only took pictures of four before friends stole them away and used them as pins/hairclips. Oh well... I had no use for them... being a guy and all. The blue one is the same fabric as the book cover, they look perfect together.

All black one.
