Meet and Make: Snowflake Ornament from Katie Hacker

November 30, 2010 by FaveCrafts

This week’s Meet and Make designer is Katie Hacker. I’ve known Katie for years and I love making her designs. They’re fabulous AND the instructions are always SO easy to follow! I love reading her blog, too — KatieHacker.com. So I was thrilled when Katie agreed to be featured on the FaveCrafts Blog.

Ten fun facts about Katie Hacker:

  1. I come from a crafty family. My parents owned a dollhouse and miniatures business called Dee’s Delights.
  2. The year after I graduated from college, I co-wrote my first book, Hemp Jewelry: It’s Knot Hard.
  3. I was a regular presenter for 12 seasons before becoming the host of Beads, Baubles & Jewels.
  4. Even though I’ve made a ton of jewelry, I wear the same necklaces over and over!
  5. I design jewelry projects for a monthly kit club called Katie’s Jewelry Personal Shopper.
  6. These days, I’m listening to kids music by They Might be Giants.
  7. One of my favorite children’s books is Leonardo the Terrible Monster by Mo Willems.
  8. My kids are super ticklish, just like me.
  9. I keep honeybees at my husband’s family farm.
  10. Starting January 1st, I’m training for my second half-marathon.

And here’s Katie’s project!


Wire Spiral Snowflake

by Katie Hacker for Beadalon

Materials

  • 20-gauge peacock blue Artistic Wire®
  • 6 clear 10mm round smooth glass beads
  • 12mm round firepolished glass bead

Tools

  • Round nose pliers
  • Chain nose pliers
  • Wire cutters

Instructions

1. Cut six 6″ lengths of wire and bend them in identical U-shapes.

2. Cut five 2″ lengths of wire.

3. Hold two U-shaped wires next to each other so the wires extending from the curve are parallel. Coil a 2″ wire around the wires to bind them together. Repeat for all of the 2″ wires.

4.  To bind the last section together, cut a 4″ length and make a loop on the wire end. Hold the loop in the center opening and coil the wire to bind the sections together.

5. About 1/4″ from the coil, use chain nose pliers to bend each wire outward in a V-shape; repeat for each wire.

6. Next, hold the adjacent two wires together as one and pass them through a glass bead; repeat for each section.

7. Use round nose pliers to make a loop on the wire end, then hold it flat inside the jaws of chain nose pliers and turn your wrist to form a spiral; repeat for each wire end.

8. Cut a 4″ piece of wire and fold the end back by 1/8″ to form a stopper. Pass the wire through a glass bead. Make a wrapped loop to attach it to the center loop on the snowflake.

Beeeautiful Outdoors

June 1, 2009 by FaveCrafts

It’s here! It’s here! Today is finally a nice day! Although it’s supposed to rain for the next few days or so, at least you can get some outdoor work done in between. The rain is taking care of your lawn, turning it green and making sure it’s fed just enough to look great this season. Now it’s your turn to make sure it looks perfect. Add some decorations to your lawn and make it yours. The bee garden stake is a great craft for the outdoors. It adds just a little bit of jewels and bling to make your lawn or garden sparkle. Make your grass the talk of the town with your homemade crafts!

Another cute craft you can add is the terra cotta garden turtle.

terra-cotta-turtle

This turtle can be made in eight steps and it might help run off the other animal you don’t want in your yard. It’s a cute craft that I would love to have in my yard! What kind of decorations do you have in yours? Now is the time to start your summer garden.
