In Case You Missed It: “7 Thrifty Christmas Craft Ideas” eBook

September 27, 2012 by FaveCrafts Leave a Comment

Hey, cheapskates – this one’s for you! During the holiday season, it’s easy to feel like you’re overspending. From gifts to decorations, there are so many fun yet expensive ways to celebrate. Don’t get stressed out and forsake Christmas crafting to cut corners and save money this Christmas. Instead, make one of these inexpensive projects using recyclables and other easy-to-find materials.

 

Use wine corks, felt, Christmas cards and more to create the projects featured in 7 Thrifty Christmas Craft Ideas. These simple projects won’t take long to make but they’ll last all season and you can even save some for next year. Hang a repurposed wreath or create cute labels for mason jars – the creative possibilities are endless! Enjoy the holiday season and stress less with this handy guide to all things thrifty. In this case, it’s okay to call yourself a penny pincher. In fact, with this free eBook, you’ll want to “go cheap” all year long!

Here are some of the projects you’ll find in this eBook:

 

 

Christmas Card Saver: It’s hard to throw away Christmas cards at the end of the season, but for the sake of your space (and your sanity), it’s necessary to declutter when the season ends. This year, save your Christmas cards and make a keepsake you’ll come back to year after year. Simply cut the cards in half and punch three holes on one side. Connect them with ribbon or binder rings and create your own chipboard cover. Make one every year – it’s a great way to preserve memories and save go green at the same time. Plus, you don’t need many materials for this project, so you can save big.

Wine Cork Wreath: Who doesn’t love winding down with a bottle of vino at the end of a stressful day? Save your corks throughout the year and use them for this super simple wreath craft. This project is so easy, even a beginner can make one. You simply need a Styrofoam wreath form, a hot glue gun and corks. You can make this project while you watch TV or listen to music, no need to concentrate hard or stress over the cost of expensive materials. Unwind and enjoy the creative process with this fun Christmas craft.

For the young mom who still has little ones running around, this Thumbprint Heart Necklace is a great gift to preserve her babies’ prints!

The kids will have fun making it, and mom will have fun wearing it. A win-win! Plus, this is another piece that will be cherished for years, rather than go out of style with the next season.

If you love these designs, you’ll definitely want to check out the rest of the jewelry projects in our Mother’s Day Jewelry Gifts: 8 Free Jewelry Making Tutorials eBook!

Spring into Creativity with New Easter Craft eBook

February 24, 2012 by AllFreeHolidayCrafts Leave a Comment

Just the other day I saw two surefire signs of the coming of spring.  No, it wasn’t flower buds popping out of the ground and it wasn’t the snow slowly starting to disappear.  No, my first glimpses of Spring 2012 were in the form of fluffy, yellow marshmallow chicks on the shelf of my local grocery store and the first airing of that iconic Cadbury commercial where the different animals are all auditioning to be the Easter bunny.  You know the one I’m talking about:

It may seem early to be talking about chicks and bunnies, but we’re almost in March and really before you know it Easter will be here!  That’s why the folks at AllFreeHolidayCrafts decided to help you get a head start on your Easter preparations.  They’ve just released their brand new eBook, 7 Cute Easter Craft Projects, which has some really great ideas for egg decorating, basket making and general holiday home decor.  Check it out for yourself; you can download a free PDF copy right here!

 

Download your free copy of How to Make Easter Crafts: 7 Cute Easter Craft Projects today!

 

 

I’m personally so excited about this eBook because this is the first spring where I’m feeling especially crafty.  I can’t wait to try my hand at this Grass is Greener Wreath (featured on page 23 of the eBook).  I first noticed it over on Pinterest where a ton of my friends were obsessing over how cute it is and vowing to make it this spring.

 

I think there are a couple reasons why this wreath has been super popular. First, it’s ridiculously easy to make. See that plush green “grass”?  It’s really just some Fun Fur yarn!  Clever, huh?  Also this wreath is very practical; it’s a decoration that you can leave up all season long.  A lot of Easter wreaths feature eggs and bunnies and the like, but the simplicity and seasonal nature of this one makes it fitting for March through September!

So that’s the project that I’m most looking forward to making from this Easter craft eBook, but there are a bunch of other really great ideas.  Anyone who is even thinking about making homemade decorations for Easter this year should check out this craft collection. You can download the eBook for free with one simple click, right here on the AllFreeHolidayCrafts website!

To recap…

In the 7 Cute Easter Crafts eBook you’ll find:

  • The adorable “Grass is Greener” wreath pictured above
  • Easy egg crafts
  • Easter basket tutorials
  • Cute DIY Easter decorations

And so much more!  So what are you waiting for? Spring forward and get started on one of these 7 cute Easter craft projects today!

I’m curious:  What’s your favorite craft project to make for Easter?

Make it an Oh-Sew-Crafty Easter with Free Sewing eBook

April 13, 2011 by AllFreeSewing Leave a Comment

Is it just me, or do you like crafting for Easter more than for any other holiday?  Everyone always gets so pumped about making Christmas ornaments and wreaths and stockings, but for me, it’s all about dyeing eggs, making stuffed bunnies and creating the most adorable Easter baskets ever.  There’s something about the warm Spring weather, the trees blooming, and my favorite pastel colors reappearing in store windows… all of it just makes me happy and want to CREATE.

Well, the editors of AllFreeSewing.com just made my day with their new free eBook, 8 Easter Sewing Projects.  There are some really great ideas inside.  I can’t get over how cute the Easter basket sewing pattern is!  I’ve made my fair share of Easter baskets, but I’ve never seen one like this.  It’s more like a soft tote bag than a traditional Easter basket, but that just means you can use it all season long, and not just during your Easter egg hunt!

My other favorite project from this awesome collection of 8 Easter sewing projects is the little felt Easter egg jelly bean bag.

I’m planning on making a bunch of these to give out at my Easter brunch.  They’re great for kids, but I’m pretty sure the adults will love them too.  😛  These adorable Easter crafts are perfectly sized for jelly beans, mini chocolate eggs, or any other Easter candy you can scrounge up.  I’m also thinking of making a couple to use as Easter decorations around the house.  What better way to celebrate than with these sweet and simple crafts for Easter?!

If these Easter projects have inspired you, you can download the FREE eBook and check out all eight sewing patterns.  But don’t wait too long… there are less than two weeks until Easter, so the time to craft is now!

Crochet and knitting fans, don’t worry, we have you covered too!  Check out these awesome projects:

Chick Egg Cozy Family
Easter Egg Wreath
A Crochet Easter Egg

Easter Knits:
