Cardboard Yarn Wrapped Letters



I saw yarn covered letters on Pinterest. One day I decided to use that idea for my youngest daughter's arts and crafts lesson. 

First I wrote the letters we would use with a black Sharpie.  I love Sharpies! 

Then we started the wrapping process. You may have to use tape on the back just in case the yarn is not tight enough or something.

I thought it was a good project for my daughter because of the complexity of the wrapping.

So the supply list included:
Cardboard
Yarn
Scissors
Tape (if needed)
Black Marker to write letters

Since I crochet and knit, I had the yarn.  Some of my family members do a lot of business online so there were plenty of cardboard boxes on hand.  We had scissors, tape and markers.  I did have to use washi tape though. ...ran out of the other kind.

I added a couple of fabric flowers to a few of the yarn covered letters.  I thought it gave the letters a little pop!

John 20:7 And the napkin, that was about His head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

Storing Your Art Supplies

I can hardly believe that I have had this blog open for 10 months!

I love art and all things creative so I am sure that helps to make this blogging thing not seem like a chore.

Anyway, I crocheted these mason jar toppers a little bit ago.  The turquoise one started this whole mason jar topper thing.  It was actually going to be a cup cozy.  I wanted to see how it looked on something and lo and behold , I liked how it looked on my mason jar.

SideNote: Brown Sack Crochet is where I post all my crochet stuff. You can find that here.

So, I made a few more and stuck my art supplies in them.

I have accumulated quite a bit of art supplies since starting this blog and pa-da-da-da-daa I;m lovin' it!

Mason jars are just one way to store your art supplies.

You can also use:

Pottery/Vases

Tin Cans (spray paint them tho)

Cups

Pickle Jars

Any glass jar

Plastic cups

...just throwing out a few ideas for your art supply storage!

What do you use to store your art supplies?

Let me know in the comment section!

She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.  -Proverbs 31:13
