Trend Alert: Elephant Craft Projects for All Ages

January 27, 2015 by FaveCrafts

There’s a trend that has been popping up all over the place and it’s about time we write about it! Elephants! I’ve seen them on scarves, wall art, t-shirts, dining ware and more. We are all aware of the fox trend, the owls, and the increasingly popular hedgehog. But elephants took me by surprise – in a good way. It’s time for these gentle giants take the spotlight in design. That’s why I’ve rounded up just about every elephant themed craft project we have. You’re welcome!

National Craft Month: Julia’s Favorite Projects

March 30, 2011 by FaveCrafts

As experts and enthusiasts of all things crafty, FaveCrafts decided to host a special National Craft Month blog series for all of our lovely readers. Check back for a new blog post every day featuring our favorite projects, new craft videos, how-to’s from the FaveCrafts editors, and a GIGANTIC, ENORMOUS, AMAZING craft giveaway at the end of the month. That’s right–we’re giving away the biggest prize ever, a gift basket chock full of crafting goodies from our craft closet. There’s something for everyone in this gift basket.

Leave a comment below, and on any blog post labeled “National Craft Month” in the headline, and your comment will count as an entry into the giveaway. You are free to comment as often as once per blog post (for a total of 31 chances to win!). At the end of the month, we’ll pool all of the comments together and pick one lucky winner.

When I was in third grade, I did a class report on elephants. I checked out books from the library and began learning all about them. Every since then, I have been obsessed with elephants. I have elephant stuffed animals, elephant magnets on my fridge and multiple elephant necklaces. When I go to the zoo in my hometown, I can’t leave without a visit to see my favorite elephant, Raja.

When I found this project on AllFreeKnitting, I went crazy. Not only does it feature my all-time favorite animal, it is blue and orange (Go Illini!) This would be a great gift for a child or could serve as decoration on your desk. Either way, Flo this Elephant is my absolute favorite project. Try not to let out a big “Awwwww” when you look at the picture below.

What’s your favorite animal? Have you ever incorporated them into your projects? What did you make?
