I am really excited for new year and all the new things to come. The workshop is coming up this weekend so I am busy preparing for that.

Preview: DIY Card Crafting Kit

Hi Everyone!

 Just thought that I would show you guys a preview of what's to come. I have been busy preparing kits for the new year. These will be available for purchase after the first workshop for those attending, after that they will be put online on my Etsy Shop for sale. So if you decide to attend the workshop, you will have first dibs on these! 

I have carefully put together things that I think would be perfect for crafting and getting your creative minds going. All Items are listed below.

DIY: Peter Pan Collar

Hi everyone! I was so excited to write this blog post because it also includes my very first template here at Eat Love Craft! This was something I had been seeing all over the city in many stores and in magazines but I really had to get my hands onto it because it was just so cute! This is a fun way to make your own embellished peter pan collar. It was really easy to make and took me about an hour-Ish.

For this DIY you will need: 

One sheet of felt 

Template for collar (found here) 

Ribbon to match felt 

Thread in same or similar colour 

Embellishments (I used flat back pearls, rhinestones and studs) 

Scissors 

Needle 

Sewing pins

Glue (E6000 is awesome!)

DIY Chalkboard Frame

I made this cute Gold Framed blackboard in a matter of minutes. All it took was a few materials and very little time. I didn't take a photo of all the steps because it was not necessary. This project cost me about $5 because I only paid for the chalkboard paint.

You will need:

• An old frame (from a Thrift store or on a curb side like I did!)
• Black Chalkboard Paint
• Black Acrylic Paint
• Paint Brush

My original framed image contained a matted painting that was timely and old. I took one look at the frame and fell in love with the gold and black trimming. I saw it on a curb, someone was getting rid of it and I immediately thought I would be able to do something with it. I decided that turning an old frame into a chalkboard would be really easy with the Martha Stewart Chalkboard paint that I purchased for about $5.99.
