Meet and Make: Vicki O’Dell

May 6, 2011 by FaveCrafts

Lisa Rojas

Today’s Meet and Make designer is Vicki O’Dell. Vicki is a professional crafter and designer whose work has appeared in numerous publications, T.V. segments, and blogs, including her own blog, The Creative Goddess. She likes to craft in just about any medium and is always trying something new.

Ready to meet Vicki?

10 Fun Facts about Vicki O’Dell:

  1. I think my father was a Gypsy in a past life and we moved a lot when I was a child.
  2. As an adult I’ve lived in Ohio, Germany, New Mexico, Illinois, North Carolina and West Virginia – maybe I’m part gypsy too?
  3. I’m married to my best friend and we have 4 nearly adult children.
  4. My studio mascot is a Miniature Schnauzer named Holle
  5. I love gardening but I don’t like my hands to be dirty.
  6. I’m SERIOUSLY claustrophobic
  7. I love learning new things. I see everything and everyone around me is a teacher.
  8. I don’t like eating leftovers
  9. I have an extremely vivid imagination
  10. I’m immature and impetuous and I like that about me just fine.

Here’s Vicki’s Project:

DSCN8623-1

I found some fancy tea cups at a craft store recently. There were all kinds of different prints, and I’m sure a tea cup from the thrift store would be even better but I doubt I could ruin a pretty vintage cup.  UNLESS it was badly chipped.  In that case, all bets are off!

DSCN8620-1

I filled the cup to over flowing with batting and cut a large circle of fabric. Then I covered the top of the cup and tucked the fabric down in the tea cup. I used a pair of closed scissors to tuck the fabric deep into the bottom of the cup.  Then, I used my hot glue gun, and while holding the filling back from the rim of the cup I filled the space with hot glue and then let the filling go back in place.You could also glue the cup to the saucer and use the saucer to hold thimbles, thread and small scissors.

This could be further decorated with charms to hang off the handle or some of the pins, using crazy decorative pins or even beads. Oh, and if you want a more vintage look on a newer cup you could grunge it up with alcohol inks… Of course you could always use the tea cup for tea but who uses things for their intended purpose? Not me! 🙂
