Link Love: Crafty Ways To Root For Team USA

January 23, 2014 by FaveCrafts

USA! USA! I’m so excited to cheer on Team USA as they head off to Sochi! My personal favorite sport is figure skating, and this year, I’m so excited to root for a friend – Jason Brown (check out his Riverdance performance on YouTube – you won’t be disappointed)! Since I have a personal investment in this year’s games, I plan to go all out with the red, white and blue. Patriotic projects are often most popular in the summer, but there are so many ways to add a little bit of USA pride to your life this winter. You can wear clothes that evoke the grand old flag or hang a wreath on your front door – there are so many crafty options and luckily, you don’t have to pick just one project.

While I plan to sport some red, white and blue in the next few weeks, I don’t want to make too much of a statement. I have to go to work and do things that require a “business casual” look, so wearing a giant American flag just won’t do. I plan to make a few patriotic jewelry crafts so I can accessorize throughout the games. The American Bead Bracelet is perfect for jewelry crafters but simple enough for everyone. Another added bonus is that the bracelet is made out of wire, so it can fit anyone’s wrist. Another fun jewelry craft is the Patriotic Water Bottle Bracelet, which can be made with recycled materials. If you’re a yarn lover, have no fear! There are plenty of patriotic crochet patterns that you can work on before, during and after the games. A Can Cozy will come in handy during parties and a Patriotic Wreath looks great on a front door. Be sure to save these designs and take them back out for Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.

From downhill skiing to curling, there are so many exciting events to look forward to in February. Now is the time to start making those patriotic craft projects so you can watch the opening ceremonies in style!

Crochet Party Time – Art Night Out Party Kits

February 7, 2012 by TheCrochetCrowd

Crochet Party Kits
Art Night Out’s Crochet Party Kit

Have you ever seen this Jewelry Crochet Kit before? It’s called Art Party Kits by Art Night Out.

Art Night Out is from Maine, USA where they specialize in creating a fun night out at their studio. They have a unique mix of different genres of crafting; there seems to be something for everyone. They realized there was a need for Party Kits where people want to have all the supplies to be able to teach others.
This kit allows you to host a party where the focus is creativity. Kits range in different sizes depending on the party you have. The kit you see above is for 4 people. 

I’ve done this before where I charged my friends a fee for learning crochet jewelry with me. Using these kits, you get everything you need such as crochet hooks, beads, wire, clasps and more. I don’t feel bad about charging my friends because all of these materials cost money. My expertise and hands on instructions are worth some money as well.

Here’s what I did:
  • Bought the kit so I had everything on hand. The kits have a great selection of products inside to really make interesting jewelry that adults and kids would appreciate working on.
  • I charged a fee to attend my course in my home. The fee includes the materials and my time.
  • I worked out the course fee to be about $30. In one course, this kit can bring in about $120. Minus the kit fee and the rest is in my pocket for a rainy day!
  • I can make money on the side by hosting creativity parties such as this.
It’s a great little idea that has really neat cash earning potential. If you get some of these kits you can throw a party of your own! Make some crochet jewelry that you’ll wear forever.
