I have had so much fun making jewelry out of sheets of shrink plastic. I had forgotten the process completely, so my first round heating the stuff was a little startling. I forgot that it curled up onto itself before laying down flat and just how much it does in fact shrink – whoa! Boy is it fun to watch and so satisfying! I used my Cricut to cut the shrink plastic. Then colored the little critters in with Sharpie markers, next I hit it with a heat gun and boom – instant charms! I attached the shrinky dinks to a 1980′s plastic charm necklace chain I had. I love this necklace and will have a lot of fun wearing it. For a tutorial click here: Shinky Dink Necklace How To. Happy Crafting xoxo Lovely Lula
Well if this little mini isn’t just perfect for summer reading. Its teeny tiny self will tuck in perfectly to your current read. I am on a summer reading frenzy and thought I needed a bookmark with a magnet so I can uhm stop misplacing it and stop losing my page. So here is my little cutie in a sort of boy and girl version. They are simple – just use the template in the tutorial, fold over the card stock, attach magnets and then decorate the front! For the floral one I used vintage fabric, a rubber stamp and Imaginisce hot rocks. For the bike one I used Cosmo Cricket boyfriend images and ribbon. Fun, Simple and your back to reading!

Happy Independence Day! I knew I had to make a fashion goody to show some patriot pride! I found this great two-toned blue star scarf at a dollar store and my project was off and running. I used my Cricut and the Independence Day Cartridge and cut out the word Freedom and just clipped the “dom†off so it said “Freeâ€. Then I cut the stars from the Robotz Cartridge. All cut out of black card stock. I then laid those pieces of black card stock out on the YUDU and burned the design onto a screen. I printed the design onto a light yellow broad cloth, added some star eyelets and stitched it to my scarf! Viola! That’s it and I have a super fun goody to wear to a 4th of July BBQ today! Happy Crafting and have a safe Independence Day Holiday! For a Tutorial Click Here: Star Scarf How To xoxo Lovely Lula
Oh how I love the jewelry! So I thought it time to share a little neck candy. I had a fantastic time making this necklace. The owl is created by using the Provo Craft owl flourish cuttlebug embossing folder on thin copper. The moon is cut out of orange felt using the Provo Craft Funky Circles Die for the Cuttlebug and the copper embellishment on the plaid covered button is made by using the Provo Craft Polka Dots Embossing Folder for the Cuttlebug. The yellow felt flower petals behind the button is made using the Provo Craft Scribble Flower Die for the Cuttlebug. I loved playing around with the plaid fabric accents here and there too! Ever since the winter Olympics I have been mad for plaid. Click here to download the Owl Necklace How To also if you want to shop for this necklace or other Lovely Lula creations visit the Lab5Shop

I made a stack of super fun cuff bracelets to get ready for a rock-n-roll show. I got my hands on the Imaginisce Live Loud Rock-N-Roll series, I pared that with the Provo Craft Your Story and an afternoon just flew by. I used the ITop to make buttons, brads and magnets. I also played with the punches to create flowers. I layered strips of paper and then laminated them in the Your Story. Finally adding magnet buttons at the ends to act as claps. This was so much fun I can imagine it as a party activity – hmmmm . . . maybe I’ll do that! Anyhoo have fun making these. Click here for the Cuff Bracelet How To
