Sometimes I’m Crafty

by Nicci on 01/17/2011

New Years Eve rolled around I was able to get a little crafty for the occasion. I was ringing in the new year, but also celebrating my cousin’s birthday. This was the perfect time to make a fun masquerade mask.

Midnight Masquerade!

I checked out my favorite store, The Dollar Tree, for inexpensive craft materials. Kirstyn came over later and we got started on designing our masks.

Materials used:

$1Store feathered mask
$1Store glitter glue
rhinestones of any color ($3 a pack from Hobby Lobby)
chopstick ( we scored last minute, finding some in my kitchen drawer)
hot glue gun (borrowed from a friend)

Total: $5 Masquerade Mask!

Good Times!

My favorite craft blogs:

My next craft adventure will be crocheting again and making a tunnel scarf.

What was your last craft adventure?

Have a great Monday!!

Crafts are the best. I need to find a craft shop up here!

Your mask turned out great!
Joslyn @ missfitbliss January 20, 2011 at 6:23 pm: That is a really cool mask! I love the colors – you can tell it’s handmade because the “bedazzled” look is so original!
Q January 19, 2011 at 8:43 am: You’re quite the creative lady!

Jessamyn January 17, 2011 at 9:26 pm: My latest craft adventure is a black and white circle scarf that I’ve been dawdling over for the past year. I only work on it when I am momentarily possessed by Martha Stewart, and that only happens every few weeks. The scarf will probably be ridiculously beautiful- when/if I ever finish it
Tiffany @ Simply Shaka January 17, 2011 at 7:24 pm: You made that??!! So pretty. If I ever have a Mardi Gras party I know who to contact

I haven’t done anything crafty in a while but I used to crochet all the time and need to start on that again.
CaSaundra January 17, 2011 at 6:43 pm: Love this–it’s so cute & fun!! My grandma actually works at Dollar Tree so she is always letting me know when they have crafty things I could use!
Leashieloo January 17, 2011 at 3:45 pm: That is an awesome mask, I wish I had an excuse to don such a thing! I haven’t been crafty in awhile, but I’ve been stocking up on supplies. You’ve inspired me to get on it!
fittingbackin January 17, 2011 at 3:15 pm: NIce! Love the crafts. I haven’t made crafts since Austin’s birthday in August, but i’m going to make a lot this week for my sister’s shower!
Erica January 17, 2011 at 2:41 pm: That is so fun! I am like the least crafty person around.
Heather (Where's the Beach) January 17, 2011 at 2:39 pm: Good job! It’s been a while since I’ve been crafty actually.
