Chicks and Gluesticks: September 2010

9.13.2010

A few more ideas...

Callie and I scoured the internet one last time...

Outdoor Halloween Signs

Fall 'Subway' Art... I love the concept, I think chick & gluesticks could make this cuter... (better fonts, glitter?)

Callie and I thought this silverware swag was too cute. (For thanksgiving) We could take this idea and add more, ribbons, glittered leaves in between etc.

I know it is Sunday, but maybe not too late to post another burlap wreath idea. I think something like this would be a great start and we could embellish for any season.

BOO

Here is my banner. I love it so much that I have it up already. Crazy! What am I thinking with this nice weather? Thanks Elizabeth for making this craft come together. Carrie

Amy, I like the wreaths, and I found similar ideas online to expound upon. I like how the these have decals or a monogram in the middle or something else could be cool to spice it up. kirsten

Hi, Here's my first project with the group. I had a such a great time and it's a bonus to take something cute home too. I haven't decided where to put it yet and it's a little early so the pic is just of it on the console. Here it is... KIRSTEN

A few more wreaths

I really like the wreath idea, here are a couple more I thought were cute...

{Fall wreath}

I would love to do a fall wreath of some kind. Here are a few ideas:

{Show & Tell}
I think this would cute a little fuller, and with a different bow.....but I'm not sure what kind of bow. Any ideas?

PILLOWS

I took these pictures at the Barn house. I would love to make these necklaces.

NECKLACE

Here's how my banner turned out- I am really liking it (although it does look a little different- and better- in person, taking pictures into a mirror and dealing with a flash and reflection is tricky). I can't wait to see all the others. And by the way, I went to Craft Warehouse this morning and they were in the process of putting out a lot of new Halloween items (a day too late for me, but maybe next month?...).
