Top 5 Crafts of May

June 14, 2011 by FaveCrafts 1 Comment

It’s about that time again, eh? Let’s take a little peek at what was most popular on FaveCrafts during the month of May, including some new projects you might not have seen before. But first, refresh your memory by catching up on the Top 5 Crafts of April, and don’t miss the FaveCrafts Most Popular Craft Projects: May 2011, where you’ll also see what was HOT on AllFreeCrochet, AllFreeKnitting, and AllFreeSewing last month!

5. The Coziest Crochet Baby Blanket Ever
cozy baby blanket Top 5 Crafts of April

Do you recognize this one? This cozy crocheted baby blanket is a repeat offender–it made the cut last month as well! It slid from 3rd to 5th most popular project this month, but that’s still an amazing feat. If you haven’t checked out this pattern yet, what the heck are you waiting for? It is super soft and cozy, perfect for a baby shower gift…

4. 14 Water Bottle Crafts

Who doesn’t have a bunch of empty water bottles lying around? Relieve your guilt by recycling them into fun craft projects–we’ve got a whopping 14 in this collection! If you use reusable water bottles, you can still try these fun ideas by using other kinds of plastic bottles and bottle caps. You won’t believe some of the stuff you can make with bottles!

3. 20 Minute Ruffle Dress

We added a bunch of new sewing patterns for girls’ dresses recently, and this was one of my favorites. It was one of your favorites in May too! I know what you’re thinking–this doesn’t look like it only takes 20 minutes to make. But the secret is in the pre-ruffled fabric. All that’s left for you to do is cut and sew.

2. Dollar Store Petal Skirt

I’m so glad that this project made it into the top 5 last month. Why? Because it’s mine! You may recall that I showed you how to make it during National Craft Month in March. The popularity of the petal skirt, which is both easy and thrifty, really shot up when I featured it in a newsletter in May. This skirt may not be for everyone, but it sure is fun to look at (and you really won’t believe how cheap it was!).

1. 11 Free Birdhouse Designs

If there’s one thing I’ve learned this spring, it’s that you guys LOVE birdhouses! This collection features 11 of our favorites, some of which can be made with plastic bottles (your other favorite)!

Among the runners up were the Net Stitch Camisole, the White and Cream Ruffle Dress, and the Crochet Angel Shawl. Which was your favorite? Don’t forget to check out the full collection of May’s heavy hitters in FaveCrafts Most Popular Craft Projects: May 2011!

Home Decor Tuesday: Decorate the Yard with Birdhouses

May 11, 2010 by FaveCrafts 3 Comments

After the winter months your yard is always plain and boring looking. Come spring it’s time to spruce it up. A fun way to do so is to make some fun bird houses. They can add color to your yard and of course feed the birds. The sounds of birds chirping are just so lovely on a warm sunny day.

Easy Painted Birdhouse-These are fun and easy to make.

Checks and Stripes Birdhouse-I love this one because of the colors and patterns.

Home for the Birds-This birdhouse speaks what it is, a home for the birds. Cute design!

For a collection of all these birdhouses click here!

Fly Away Birdie

May 13, 2009 by FaveCrafts Leave a Comment

Spring is here, I can smell it. This also means your kids can too and they need things to do. Crafting this season is the best way to save money on toys for your kids and a great way to keep them occupied as well. Looking for some cute crafts for kids I ran into these little fledgling friends. The kids can easily help in making it and then they can hang it on your tree outside. Or you can keep them in the house to decorate their room.

fledgling-friends

Another cute craft for kids to help you with and to help keep you a bit organized are little birds of a feather. They can be created in six easy steps and hung as soon as they’re finished. All the bird crafts make me think of spring and how they’re always waking me up with their chirps, which can sometimes be annoying, but these birds won’t be waking you, they’ll just be hangin’ around. What kind of crafts make you think of spring?
