Crafting

So I didn't get pictures or the video of the apartment up before Christmas.  Tomorrow, we leave to go home to New Jersey!  It's probably because I've spent too much time trying to be crafty.  And thanks to Pinterest...I spend way too much time thinking of new ideas, borrowing new ideas, and trying out new ideas.  Here are a couple of pictures of projects I've been doing recently.

Actually, this one has nothing to do with Pinterest.  I just decided to make a couple roses out of frosting for my cake since I'd never bothered to try before.  I didn't feel like dying any frosting so I just made them out of chocolate frosting.  

I think they turned out nice for my first shot :)

These are some Santas that I made with frosting, chocolate chips, and strawberries. The base idea for this came from Pinterest with personal modification.  The were probably the best thing I've had all month.   

This bowl came almost directly from Pinterest.  I started out with the idea of making it into a trashcan but kinda got bored of it and decided to make it a bowl.  It is REALLY sturdy.  It's made out of pages from catalogs and other random mailings and hot glue.  All you do is fold a page into a small strip and start building.  You start with a circular base and then just start gluing them a little higher up until you're satisfied.  I put 2 little circular handles on the side.  Here are a couple shots of the finished product.

Holdin' some clementines

Well, that's all for now! I may spray paint the bowl to see how it looks.  We'll see!  So long folks!
