Flag Craft Night Update

Craft Night will be held in Mandi Rosenbeck's backyard at 6:30 on Thursday, June 21st.  The location and time have been changed because the craft is easier to make by laying it out on the ground and will be a lot easier to clean up than at the church. 

 Lets give it a try: CUTEST FLAG EVER!

I don't pretend to know what I am doing, but I think it will be quick and easy. (the original artist even says the same here:   http://thecreativecrate.blogspot.com/2010/07/diy-fence-wood-flag.html) AND cheap. I have enough boards from our fence that we just tore down, so all we will need is paint and wire. I will have the boards cut to size and ready to paint. 


We will be meeting Thurs. the 21st. I am guessing it will cost around $5, although I havn't done any research into that part.


I will take any  advice on what kind of paint and wire to use. Like I said before, I have no idea what i am doing here! I just wanted to make something cute with my old fence and thought you might too. And if you have any extra supplies collecting dust that may be useful, let me know. 




UPDATE: looks like Thurs. the 21st is going to be best. We will do it at the church on 200 S. at 7:00.


***one more thing: these will be pretty big-not front door size. if you want one that fits on your door let me know and i will split the boards to make the dimensions work. i will plan on the big size unless you tell me different.

Girls Hair Bows

We have decided to do another craft night! Please read this entire post carefully there is a lot of information. It will be held Thurs. May 3. at the preschool. We are going to try something new this time, instead of raising the cost of supplies we are going to charge $5 fee to participate; which will pay for our time to order supplies and set up, etc. Then you will only be charged the actual cost of the supplies. We will need all money by Thurs April 19 so I have time to order supplies. Please write down what you want to order exactly how it is on the webpage so I order the correct flowers for you.
Now, that we got that out of the way, let me tell you about the craft. I am so excited and I hope this works out. I am really loving all the cute headbands and I finally found a website that has just the flowers and bows at wholesale pricing. They also have feathers and a few embellishments. The website is sparkle in pink Look at the website and then let me know what you want to order. They have elastic headbands that you can order if you would like.
I will be ordering two types of elastic from elastic by the yard. I will be ordering white, black, and pink in the 1/4" elastic and white and black in the 'fold over elastic' the cost for the elastic is .50 for each headband you want to make. If you want a different color you will have to purchase the whole roll. It's $3/5 yards plus $1 for shipping.
To figure out how much you owe add up the amount from sparkle in pink then add 6.55% sales tax. Then add $1 for shipping. That will be your total for sparkle in pink.
If you want elastic add .50 for each headband (shipping is included with that, you do not need to add tax). that will be your total for elastic by the yard.
Add the $5 fee and you will have your grand total.
You can pay Jenni or myself.
I really hope this is not confusing. I was trying to do it the cheapest/easiest/fairest way possible!
Bring your own glue guns and glue sticks. I will provide the felt and alligator clips and some ribbon to cover the clips (if you want to make clips instead of headbands). Also feel free to bring any other accessories that you want like ribbon, tulle, jewels, fabric, feather, brads, paper flowers, we can all share and trade supplies. If you have questions call, email or fb msg me. I think this is going to be fun and a lot cheaper than you can buy them for. Here are few examples of the many, many flowers they have to choose from!

February Craft Night

Update: Since the lack of interest or busyness of everyone we are going to skip out on February Craft Night and wait till March. Date, Time and Location still TBA. I (Janelle) still plan on doing the two crafts below there is updated info for you. Please start signing up now, call, txt, email, message etc. with questions or orders.

Also I (Janelle) am going to try to make these as cheap and affordable as I can so there will be al ot of options of materials you can use from your own home or I will have a price listed for all items included.

Thinking of doing a coupon exchange anyone intereseted. I know there are a lot of us that coupon and I know I do not use certain items that maybe someone else would. If interested let me know.

If you are interested in a fun home decor idea either for spring or just your home, there was a great suggestion for over a little girls crib/bed here is something I have found and it is easy, no sew no glue (uness you do not want to use straight pins) . I made three small ones for Valentines that I will post about later. If you are interested in this at all please leave a comment and I will get price details for you. It is just a matter of fabric, styrofoam balls and straight pins.
Small: 2 inch styrofoam ball 1/2 yard of fabric or corresponding fabrics, box of straight pins or glue gun and sticks, anywhere from 1/2 to 1 yard of ribbon to hang depending on what length you want or total price of $5.00

Medium: 4 inch styrofoam ball 3/4 yard of fabric or corresponding fabrics, box of straight pins or glue gun and sticks, anywhere from 1/2 to 1 yard of ribbon to hang depending on what length you want or total price of $7.50

Large: 6 inch styrofoam ball 1 1/2 yard of fabric or corresponding fabrics, box of straight pins or glue gun and sticks, anywhere from 1/2 to 1 yard of ribbon to hang depending on what length you want or total price of $10.00

If you want to do the tule version all you need is cardboard string and lots lots of tulle could be cheaper by half the price!

Ideas: I just used scrap fabric and materials around the house and my total cost was free.


I thought for the new year we could all try to get organised and my biggest project is cleaning the house and helping my kids to enjoy helping. So thanks to Dee Dee from this blog (click on the word blog and it will direct you to her site) she has come up with a fun way to get your chores done with the help of your family. I will provide all the supplies except for the can bring your own. Total price includes sticks, copies of chores, modpodge, brushes and some paint (I have lots of old paints so if you have a pecific color bring your own or just keep it the stick color) $7.50

UPDATE: January Craft Night

January craft night will be on Thursday January 12th at the Nephi 8th ward church at 6:00pm to 9:00pm. I was told that they will be having scouts that night at 7:00pm so i am hoping the RS room or Primary room will still be available  If we are not in the gym, we will be in either those two room. Also I will only be providing the the white paint, so if you want yours another color you will have to bring it.  If you have a GLUE GUN please bring it so we will have enough for everyone to use. SEE YOU ALL THURSDAY!!

January's Craft!!!

Isn't this so dang cute!! I always struggle to find a cute wreath or door hanging sign for my door every year for January! I think its because there really isn't a holiday other then new years that falls in that month, so it always hard to know what to put on the door, especially when there is still so much snow on the ground too! I think this SNOW FLAKE will be perfect!! This is so so easy to make!! It is made out of Popsicle sticks!! How easy is that!!

We will be making The Snow Flake Wreath on January 12th, 2011

at: 7:00pm-10:00pm at the Wilde for Learning Preschool.

Price: $8.00

That includes the jumbo Popsicle sticks(42), Wood circle disc (Center), glue sticks, white paint, tulle or ribbon, glitter.
I forgot to add in the Wood discs around the Snowflake so if you would like the 12 round wood discs then you would pay $11.00,
  I will plan on using chip board that's is thick enough to look like wood and holds up just as good too for the ones that still want to pay the $8.00.
Also, another question people has had is... "What if i have a White door?" If you have a white door then you are more then welcome to bring your own color of paint, like blue, red, silver, gold.... etc.
I will only be providing the WHITE paint! If you have any more questions feel free to ask me. Thanks!
I will need everyone's money by December 28th
Sign up on the Blog or on Facebook!!
Hope to see a lot of you there!!

Stacked Christmas Tree!

PRICE: $18.50 a set

$16.00- if you bring your own scrapbook paper 

I know that kinda sounds high too... but i have realized that things are not cheap anymore and it's sad because it kinda takes the fun out of things. So i wanted to break it down for you so you know what your paying for.

Wood Blocks and Star : $7.00 HERE 
Wood Star Alone: $1.50 (that's if you bring your own 2x4 blocks and just needed a star.)

Paper: $2.50

Other Accessories: $5.00 (that includes: Stain, wood glue, brushes, antique ink, wire, sand paper, ribbon)

Hostesses (me and Jenni): $4.40
It sets about 12 inches tall and 7 inches wide. So perfect for shelves, counters and entry tables.

**If you want me to get the paper, I will be doing the same paper in the picture that i did. If you want something different, then you are welcome to bring your own.
** If you have a Husband that can cut the wood for you, then take off the $7.00, or if he can cut the 2X4's and not the star then just pay $1.50 for just the star. The measurements  for the Stacked Tree going from BOTTOM to TOP are: 2- 1/2 inches long (Trunk), 7 inches long, 6 inches long, 5 inches long, 4 inches long. Star is 5 inches tall & wide.

I need all orders and money to me by MONDAY NOVEMBER 28TH!! (No later then that!!

 I have to order the wire off line, so i need enough time to get it ordered so it can be here on time)

The Stacked Christmas Tree's will not take us all night to do....so

  if you haven't finished your paper wreaths you are welcome to being them or any other craft you would like to work on that night and finish them. If you don't want to craft come and mingle with the ladies and have treats!!!

Tree Skirt

Sorry once again these pics are small but I just grabbed them from pineterst so we could get the idea. These are tree skirts. If yours looks anything like mine it could use an update. We have some options here
Pricing

$21.00 bring your old tree skirt, includes fabric, glue, and hostess percentage

$9.00 bring your old tree skirt, bring your own fabric 4yrds total, includes glue and hostess percentage

You can either get the material yourself or have me get it. If so I am doing a nuetral theme and a christmas theme. You will need your old tree skirt or if you do not have one I would suggest a cheapo one from the dollar store the felt kind. Although this looks really frilly it is simple and all you use is fabric and a handy dandy glue gun. To make things go faster bring your glue gun if you have one and a rotary cutter we will be doing a lot of cutting. So let me know if you are interested and what color scheme you would like or if you will be getting your own fabric.

Christmas Pennant Banners

I will have pics up tomorrow of the real deal and the fabrics chosen

These pics may be small but just wanted you to get the idea for our December craft night. These pennant banners are so cute and easy to make. We will be doing Christmas colors on one side and Valentine on the other that way it serves a dual purpose. This is a sewing project but it is very basic so if you know how to sew great, if you dont it will be a great time to learn.

Pricing $12.00 includes fabric (already cut) bias tape, thread and hostess percentage.

I already have four kits cut up (that takes the most time) It took me only 30 min to sew together so this will be a quick project if we get enough machines there. I will have mine there to use since mine is already done.

If you want one of the four kits already cut up it is first come first serve, if you did not grab one of the kits I will get more done if there is enough interest.

These look great over the fireplace, across a mirror or frame along a banister (needs to have the same fabric on both sides if you do this) etc. I took an executive decision and did not do letter (way to much cutting and time but if you would like to bring your own to do that is great)

November Craft Pictures

A fun night with friends, yummy treats, and great crafts!

The Thanksgiving Turkeys turned out super cute and festive.

Pop Can Flowers-bright, fun, and easy to make

Book Page Wreaths- we got a good start on these, but had to take them home to finish.

This is Mandee's that she brought for us to see- I can't wait to get mine finished and hopefully it will somewhat resemble hers!

Do Your Own Projects

If you didn't get a chance to pay for supplies and still would like to come to Ladie's Time Out there might be some extra supplies (mostly for pop can bows) that could be purchased on a first come, first serve basis. Or if you have projects of your own, come join us and work on those. Please let me know if you are coming so I can set up enough table and chairs.

2x4 turkeys

Hey ladies here is one last craft idea for next week's craft night. They were WAY fun to do and are so cute!  They do take a little bit of time but i will have them made up into kits so if you don't feel you have time to do them that night you can purchase a kit to take home..

I always like to make things in three's but I am offering 2 different kits. You can do

 

2 small turkeys for $10 or

3 (1 tall 2 small) turkeys for $15.00

Post a comment if you would like to purchase a kit. I am ok with you bringing the money that night since this is last minute but I do need to know how many kits to make up and I will hold you to it if you sign up :)

Pop Can Hair Bow-updated

I've updated the photos of the hair bows so you can get a better idea of what they will look. There is foam on the back so you don't need to worry up sharp edges. We're asking that you pay in advance so we can get supplies and get an idea of how many are attending. If you are uncertain how many bows you want to make, pay for how many you think you would like to make and if  you decide you want to make more bows that night you certainly can as long as everyone that has paid has gotten a chance to make their bows. Jenni will be collecting the money. The cost is $1 per bow. Please remember to bring:

• Soda pop can-it take about 1 1/2 cans per bow
• A pair of scissors

 Come prepared to have lots of fun. The bows are simple and fun to make, a kind of addicting!

Bring your favorite Fall Snack to share at the November Ladies' Night Out.

Calling all Crafters and Domestic Divas!

I am looking for Crafters and Domestic Divas that would like to make a SMALL profit. It's not much, because I would like to keep Ladies' Time Out cost friendly and affordable. You will make 15% of your crafts total supply fee. Example: Coffee Filter Wreath supplies cost $10. 15% of that is $1.50. So the cost of the wreath would be $12(An additional 5% would be charged for the Hostess). If 10 people ordered a wreath you would make $15. Think of it as a fun night to be with your friends, eat treats, and hopefully have at least your own craft paid for with the profit you make. You would be responsible for providing all the supplies, unless it is something that will vary by taste or is easily brought from home(pop cans, scrapbook paper, etc.) Any left over supplies will be yours. You will need to figure out what the supply cost is per craft and let me know. I would also like pictures of your craft to post on the blog. Each month there will be 2-3 crafts taught to give a variety of choices. If you are interested in teaching a craft at Ladies' Time Out, call Jen Wilde at 623-0150.
