Lacy Little Bag

For the past two weeks, I have been trying to make this adorable lace lamp.  Unfortunately, the lamp didn't hold it's shape after I popped the balloon inside of it.  I spent so much time trying to make the lamp, and because I didn't want the adorable lace to go to waste, I made a little makeup bag out of it.  It worked perfectly because the mod podge I used to previously make the lamp turned the lace hard and a little stiff, almost like oilcloth.  I cut up the lamp and made a bag out of it.  If you want to make the same bag, here is a link to the instructions.

Skull T-Shirts

To make this skull shirt, you will need a big white t-shirt and scissors.  Cut holes for the skull's eyes, nose, and mouth.  And to customize your shirt even more, you can cut the sleeves off, lower the neck line, and cut the bottom of the shirt shorter.  Looks cute with a black tank top underneath!

Macrame Bracelet

This weekend my sister and I made macrame bracelets!!  They don't take too much time and are really fun and easy to make.  You could buy leather cord at a store like Michael's.  If you want to learn how to macrame, click here for a tutorial!  (and if you can't tell, the macrame bracelet is the grey and purple one)

Cinnamon Sugar Muffins

The full recipe for these delicious muffins can be found here.  We made them in small muffin tins so that you can eat 4 and not feel guilty :) They taste more like donuts holes than muffins!
