DIY No Snag Hair Ties

 

I’m sure you have seen these no-snag hair ties at stores like Anthropologie, Sephora and Claire’s. They are great because they won’t cause breakage to your hair or leave big dents in your hair like regular hair rubber bands. They are made of fold over elastic, which is gentle to the hair and this type of elastic comes in so many fun colors, prints, and textures. I saw some of these hair ties at my local bookstore the other day for $11 for a 4-pack. It costs pennies to make these yourself, plus they are quick and easy to make. You can also attach beads or flowers to jazz them up or just leave them plain. If you scroll down, you can see a hair tie that I made for my daughter with a pretty silver, rhinestone-studded flower attached. They also double as a bracelet until you are ready to put your hair up in a pony. I made this pretty blue set for my good girlfriend and exercise buddy. We go walking together while our kids are at school and I know she will love these for walking and biking. I used the printable template to make a pretty card to hold this set of hair ties, put them in a cellophane bag, tied them with some twine and attached a fun tag. [Read more…]

Where to Find Supplies for Your Cricut Explore Machine

Where to Find Supplies for Your Cricut Explore Machine

The Cricut Explore and the Cricut Explore Air are the newest generation of Cricut machines from Provocraft. These cool machines have a 12 x 12 mat size and they do so many things like cut shapes, score your items for folding and you can even put pens into your machine to draw and write with your Explore. If you are considering one of these fun machines, check out both models to see which one works best for you.

Finding supplies for your Cricut Explore machine isn’t always easy. While you can find some things at your local craft stores, I feel like I can get better prices on supplies from internet stores, plus everything arrives right at your doorstep. For some supplies like vinyl, I prefer the quality and pricing of other brands of vinyl. I have included lots of tips and resources below to finding the best supplies for your machine. [Read more…]

Sewing Machines and Supplies for Tweens and Teens

Sewing Machines and Supplies for Tweens and Teens

Sewing is a great life skill and if your tween or teen is showing interest in learning how to sew, they would love to receive a machine of their own to learn on. I bought my daughter her first machine at age 11 and, with a few classes, she learned how to do lots of fun, simple projects on her own. There are a lot of machines that are marketed to kids and while they are affordable, most break easily and are a waste of money. There are a few highly-reviewed starter machines that are under $100 and a several that are just over $100, with a variety of great features. We found some great solid machines that will make learning to sew easy and fun, not frustrating. There are also lots of great sewing supplies that your tween or teen will love so they can start this fun new hobby.

My daughter started off with classes at our local Joann fabrics store. They offer sales on their classes and you will receive a list of supplies, plus one of their coupons. One of her first projects was a pillowcase and they she branched out to a simple pair of PJ shorts, a pair of PJ pants, an apron and more. You can also check out if your local community center has classes as well. If your sewer prefers to venture out on their own, one of our best finds was the simple sewing patterns offered at Walmart stores, in the fabric department. They offer a variety of beginner patterns for just $1-3. There are patterns for purses, bags simple clothing, doll clothing and more. My daughter loves to save her allowance money to fund her next project and I love that she is learning a new life skill. Sewing projects are perfect for staying busy on weekends and over Summer break.  [Read more…]

Make your own DIY Chalkboard Menu Board. So easy and cute too! Lots of ways to personalize this project for your home.

 

Chalkboards are such a staple piece in my kitchen and they’re perfect for menu planning, notes, important dates and more. I love to keep a certain style in my kitchen and haven’t been able to find the right chalkboard so I decided to create my own using a gorgeous Paper Mache board, chalkboard paint and a paint brush. This entire project cost under $5 to complete and I’m in love!

Here is how to make your own cute and easy DIY Chalkboard Menu Board or Meal Planner

Supplies Needed:

– Paper Mache Shape (Found at Hobby Lobby for $1.99)

– Martha Stewart Chalkboard Paint (Found at Michaels $2.99)

– Paint Brush (Found at Dollar Tree, a set of 3 for $1)

– Liquid Chalk or white chalk (Found at any craft store or on Amazon)

Directions:

DIY Chalkboard Menu materials chalkboard paint

  1. Lay your Paper Mache piece on a layer of old newspapers, magazines, cardboard or anything to protect your flooring surface.
  2. Using your chalkboard paint start by painting the surface of your chalkboard and then cover the sides with chalkboard paint as well. Allow to dry for 15 minutes or so and apply another layer of chalkboard paint to the top and sides and allow it to dry for another 15 minutes.

    Make your own Chalkboard

  3. Once the entire board is dry take a piece of white chalk and using the side cover the entire board and then erase it with a dry eraser. This will prep the board for your chalk sayings, drawings, menu plans and more. I love to use liquid chalk because it gives a crisper and bolder appearance.
  4. Feel free to hang this board up and place whatever important information you want displayed in your home.
  5. Enjoy your fun new DIY Chalkboard Menu Board!

 

I love how this project is so easy and frugal too but makes a huge impact. You could easily create one for your kid’s room and leave the fun notes or reminders. You could put one in your mud room with things to do etc. There are so many places a chalkboard would be useful and cute in your home!

DIY Pony Valentines  with printable baggy toppers. So cute and so easy! Perfect for class Valentine's Day parties.

 

Valentine’s Day is a very special time for every little boy and girl especially when they go to school on the special Holiday. This year I wanted to create something super adorable for my daughter to hand out to her classmates at school and of course I wanted to stay on a budget as well. I didn’t want to give the traditional candy this year as that’s been done over and over again. [Read more…]

DIY Rainbow Loom Charm Valentines with Free Printables

Easy DIY Rainbow Loom Charm Valentines with Free Printables. Easy to make and fun for kids!

My tween daughter recently started making all sorts of charms with her Rainbow Loom with the many tutorials online. Over the holidays, she made me a cute snowflake charm and I attached it to the pencil that I keep at my computer desk. My daughter makes these charms and since they stretch and loop around just about anything, she has charms attached to her backpack, her purse and her pencil case. She also makes them for friends at school.

I thought that Rainbow Loom charm valentines would be a cute idea for tweens since most are no longer buying the character valentines. There are many different types of Rainbow Loom charms and some are easy and others more complicated. If you are making them for the whole class, I suggest choosing an easier design or your tween can make them for siblings, neighbors or just for their close friends as something extra special. Some of the fun ones that I have seen are flowers, hearts, mustaches, animals. [Read more…]

Floating Ornament Made with a Silhouette Cameo

 

My favorite crafting toy is the Silhouette Cameo and I created this really neat floating ornament with a transparency, black vinyl and some fun snow! To make this fun ornment, I cut a piece of transparency, the shape of my ornament with a tab at the top. I used a design from the Sihouette online store and cut my Santa and sleigh in vinyl and applied it to the transparency. Then I rolled it up around a pencil and inserted the transparency into my ornament and voila! Just add snow.  [Read more…]

Floating Ornament Made with a Silhouette Cameo

****Congrats to Lanicsha W. , Our Cameo Winner****

It’s no secret that my favorite crafting toy is my Silhouette Cameo electronic cutting machine. With some inspiration from Pinterest, I decided to make this really pretty,  floating glass ornament. I bought some plain, glass ornaments from Hobby Lobby. I used my Cameo to cut a piece of one of those clear transparency sheets from the office supply store. It has a notch at the top to hold it into place. I cut Santa’s Sleigh out of black vinyl and applied it to my transparency insert. I rolled up my transparency and tucked it inside my ornament, and then added some fun snowflakes from the craft store. To give you an idea of how detailed the Cameo can cut, the vinyl is only 3/4 of an inch tall!

 Gift Ideas for the Crafter

 

My husband asks me for a Christmas wishlist every year and there are always a few craft-related items on it. Usually, these are things that I have been wanting, but don’t want to splurge on! If you looking for gifts for women friends, crafty gifts for family or things to add to your own list,  I found some fun gadgets to check out. I love to dabble in papercrafting, cardmaking, sewing, jewelry making and pretty much everything DIY and so there is a little of everything here.

 

 

Silhouette Cameo and Portrait

1. Silhouette Cameo Die-Cutting Machine

 The Silhouette Cameo is an electronic cutting tool that uses a small blade to cut paper, cardstock, vinyl, vellum, and fabric. It can cut up to 12 inches wide and up to 10 feet long. I got one for my birthday and this little machine is so versatile! It can cut 3D items like party favor boxes, gift bags, cards, and so much more! The best feature of this machine is it’s ability to die-cut printed items like tags or scrapbook die-cuts. You can buy cutting files for just $.99 or less from the Silhouette online store or you can create your own files by using their software that comes with your machine. It also has the ability to cut from SVG files. There are lots of independent online stores that sell fun SVG files. I love being able to buy just the images I want or need for my project. Click for more information and to buy the Silhouette Cameo.

Do you need a smaller Silhouette machine? Silhouette America is releasing the new Silhouette Portrait machine in late November. It has all of the cutting power of the Cameo, but it has a lower price point and it still cuts up to 8 inches wide and 10 feet long.

 

 

Craftsy Classes

2. Craftsy Class

Craftsy is a online school for crafters, offering a wide selection of online classes taught by some of the best instructors around the world. A Craftsy Class would make a really fun crafty gift. There are so many neat classes from decorating fondant cakes, to sewing, to knitting, papercrafting techniques and so much more. Learn either beginning or advanced techniques.

 

 

Stamped Metal Jewelry

3. Stamped Metal Jewelry: Creative Techniques and Designs for Making Custom Jewelry

If your creative friend dabbles in jewelry-making, she might enjoy Stamped Metal Jewelry: Creative Techniques and Designs for Making Custom Jewelry. This highly-reviewed book will shows the reader how to make pretty stamped jewelry, how to find the right tools and more.

4. Martha Stewart Scoring Board

I love this fun little gadget! It’s definitely a must-have for cardmakers. The Martha Stewart scoreboard helps you score clean lines quickly when making your invitations, cards, boxes and projects. I use it with my Cricut and Silhouette projects! You can score lines every 1/8th inch and  it comes with a bone folder  tool and an envelope guide to help you create envelopes. Click for more information or to shop for the Martha Stewart Scoring Board.

5. We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper

If you are a scrapbooker or cardmaker, chances are you have purchased a corner punch in the past to create rounded corners on your photos, cards and projects. I have had a few corner rounder punches and they have broken or they get stuck on thicker cardstock. The Corner Chomper is the ultimate corner rounding tool. This bad boy can cut the corners of paper, cardstock, paper, leather and I have even used it on some thin sheet metal for a project! Click for more information or to shop for the Corner Chomper.

 

 

 

6. Fiskars Folding LED Papercutter

I am always cutting cardstock for my projects and cards and I have several papercutters at home. The Fiskars LED Papercutter is easy to use and cuts with the most precision. The best feature of this cutter is the LED light that shows you exactly where your cut will be, so no surprises. I also love that it folds up and locks when not in use. Click to find out for information and to shop for the Fiskars LED Papercutter.

 

7. Xyron Sticker and Adhesive Machine

Xyron sticker and adhesive machines come in all sizes to fit your project. You feed your cardstock cutout into the Xyron and it makes it a sticker. I found that the 5-inch machine is most versatile and it doesn’t waste too much if you feed smaller items through your machine. I use it for my scrapbooking and cards, but it can be used for other projects too. Another fun way to use this machine is with Martha Stewart glitter. You can send your item through the machine so the front is all sticky and then sprinkle on glitter! It gives your item a nice even coating of glitter. Send your already-glittered cutout through the machine again and make it a sticker! Click to find out more information or to shop for the Xyron Sticker and Adhesive Machine.

 

 

8. Martha Stewart Fringe Scissors

These are on my wishlist this year and I hope Santa stuffs them in my stocking! Martha Stewart Fringe Scissors help you quickly add fringe to your projects or you can quickly whip up some confetti. My kids would love these for their art projects. I also noticed that some people use these for quickly shredding mail and papers, so no need for that big, pricey paper shredder. Click to find out more information or to shop for the Martha Stewart Fringe Scissors.

 

Brother CS6000i

9. Brother CS6000i Feature-Rich Sewing Machine With 60 Built-In Stitches

If you have are buying a machine for a sewer, this Brother CS6000i Feature-Rich Sewing Machine is a great machine for the price tag. It has so many neat features an LCD screen, 60 built-in stitches, it makes 7 different button holes. This highly-reviewed machine would make a great machine for a sewer and crafter.

10. Jolee’s  Jewels Hot Fix Tool

Bling, bling, bling! Add bling to any of your projects with this battery-powered hot fix tool. I have one of these cool hot fix tools and it allows you to add crystals to hats, jeans, hair accessories, t-shirts, handmade cards and so much more! Jolee’s also sells their own line of hot fix crystals to go with this tool and many colors and sizes. This is the perfect stocking stuffer for any crafty person in your life. Click for more information on the Jolee’s Hot Fix tool.
.

 

11. Ottlite Task Lamp

These very bright lamps are perfect for those crafters that love to make jewelry, cards and need extra light to see their projects. This lamp won’t distort the colors of your project by shining too bright or not bright enough. It folds up easily for storage. I will definitely have this on my list this year! Click for more information or to shop for the Ottlite Task Lamp.

 

12. Silhouette Pick Me Up Tool

If you are a Silhouette or Cricut user, or if you make projects with hot fix gems, this tool is a must-have. It’s shaped like a pen, but has a gummy end to help you both pick up and position your items right where you want them. When I am picking up small Cricut or Silhouette cuts and I’m trying to place them onto my project, this little tool helps me grab items that are too big for my fingers to grasp. I, then, add my glue on the underside of the cut and I push them into place with my Pick Me Up. Click to find out more information or to buy the Silhouette Pick Me Up Tool.

Silhouette Specialty Media Promotion

 

My daughter loves American Girl, so I tried out the Silhouette Printable Silver Foil to create a Treats Shoppe for her dolls. I found these cute little glass containers at Hobby Lobby. They were 50% off this week, making them just around $1-$1.50 each. I used some beads and small candies that I had here at home to make doll candy to go inside the jars. I print and cut the silver foil labels with my Silhouette Cameo. Note that the silver foil paper needs a few minutes for the ink  to dry after taking it out of the printer, before doing your print and cut in the Silhouette. I also noticed that darker colors work better on the silver foil paper.

Rainbow Loom Refills Where to Find BargainShopperMom

If your kids have a Rainbow Loom at home, you might know how hard it is to find refills as this has been one of the hottest craft kits of the year. My local Michael’s has never gotten refills in and a few of my local boutique toy stores go in and out of stock, plus no coupons are allowed at Michael’s on the looms or refills. I bought a Rainbow Loom as a gift for a birthday gift for one of my daughter’s friends last week and I had a hard time finding refills locally, without driving 25 minutes or more! The Rainbow Loom LLC webstore on Amazon currently has some discounted refill packs. While there is shipping on top of that, the shipping gets lower if you purchase more refill packs and it will saving you lots of driving, calling and waiting. When I put 4-6 packs in my cart, shipping was just a little over $1 per pack. The regular price for refill packs ranges from $3.99-$5.99, so it’s great to find these at small discounts. Also, if you can’t find a Rainbow Loom locally, it’s just $14.99 plus low shipping in the Rainbow Loom Webstore. It’s regularly priced at $16.99-$17.99 at most stores (no coupons allowed at Michael’s). [Read more…]

Silhouette Stamping Starter Kit Monogrammed Card BargainShopperMom

 

*****Our Giveaway is over. Congrats to Nancy P! Save on the Silhouette Stamping Starter Kit and Machine Bundles through September 13th! *****

The Silhouette Stamping Starter Kit is one of Silhouette’s newest products. I was excited to be able to try this fun kit. I thought it would be very cool to create a monogrammed stamp since normally, a monogrammed stamp would be something that you would have to special order. Plus, custom-made stamps can be pricey. If you have a Silhouette machine, you could make yourself personalized stationary, notecards and more with the Silhouette Stamping Starter Kit. [Read more…]

Rainbow Loom Giveaway everydaysavvy.com

 ***** Our Rainbow Loom Giveaway is over, but you can shop the Rainbow Loom store below for looms and refills. Congrats to Leah S. #Giveaway #RainbowLoom *****

 

Rainbow Loom kits are one of the hottest new craft kits for tweens. I first saw the Rainbow Loom at my local independent toy store. I walked in to browse and noticed they were holding a free class on how to create a new pattern of bracelet with the Rainbow Loom. I was intrigued! These loom kits are literally flying off the shelves. They are in such demand that they are getting weekly shipments of refill bands and they only allow each customer to purchase one of each color of refills at a time so that everyone has a chance to buy refills. I have to admit, they are pretty cool. Basically, you take brightly-colored rubber bands and your loom to weave fun accessories like bracelets, anklets, rings and more. The styles and patterns seem to be endless and the refills come in so many colors, including glow-in-the-dark.  [Read more…]

*******Sale on the Designer Edition Software and Machine Bundles Extended through July 12*******

 

If you have been thinking about taking the plunge and buying either a Silhouette Cameo or Silhouette Portrait electronic cutting machine, Silhouette America is offering some great machine and Silhouette Studio Designer Edition software bundles at a discount. If you already own a Silhouette Machine, they are offering 50% off their Silhouette Studio Designer Edition Software. The upgraded designer edition software usually is priced at $49.99 and with the coupon code you will get it for just $24.99.

The Silhouette Cameo software bundle is specially priced at $269.99 ($348.98 value) and the Silhouette Portrait machine and software bundle is specially priced at $129.99 ($229.98 value). To receive these discounts, visit the Silhouette America July sale page and use the coupon code “BARGAIN” from now until July 12th only!

The Silhouette Studio Designer Edition Software will give you so much more freedom with your machine. My favorite feature of the Designer Edition software is the ability to cut SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) files. With the free software that comes with your machine, you can only cut images from Silhouette’s online store. With the upgraded software, you can find so many fun files on the internet. I have found many free SVG files to download or I purchase files from the many independent online stores that sell SVG files. Check out this Xbox Controller-inspired card. I used a free SVG file from Bird’s Cards and my Silhouette Studio Designer Edition Software to cut this card in my Cameo machine. I know one of my son’s friends will love getting this game controller birthday card!

The Silhouette Cameo machine and the Silhouette Portrait machine are electronic cutting tools that uses a small blade to cut paper, cardstock, vinyl, vellum, and fabric. The Silhouette Portrait is smaller than the Silhouette Cameo machine, but it’s just as powerful. The Cameo can cut up to 12 inches wide and 10 feet long and the Portrait can cut up to 8 inches wide and up to 10 feet long. I received a the larger Cameo machine for my birthday last year and I am shocked how versatile it is. It can cut 3D items like party favor boxes, gift bags, cards, and so much more!

We are celebrating the 3rd Anniversary of BargainShopperMom and what better way to do that than have a Silhouette Portrait machine giveaway, sponsored by Silhouette America! 

Congrats to the winner of our giveaway, Mindy N!

 

My Silhouette Cameo is my favorite crafting tool and heat transfer vinyl is so fun to work with. How cute is this dress accented with heat transfer vinyl? Cut intricate designs with the Silhouette in smooth, flocked or printable heat transfer material, then iron them onto clothes and other fabrics. Heat transfer vinyl looks great on t-shirts, bags, hats and more. You can attach it to your fabric item with your home iron. Silhouette heat transfer material is manufactured with transfer tape already attached to the vinyl to make the application easier.  [Read more…]

Monogramming with Silhouette Frosted Glass Vinyl

 

****Our giveaway is over, scroll down to see the WINNER of the Silhouette Portrait Machine. Enjoy the Silhouette discounts through April 26th****

 

Check out this fun project I made with Silhouette Frosted Glass vinyl. This vinyl is made to look like the effects of using etching cream on glass, but without the mess. I made monogrammed hand soap and hand lotion set to fancy up our bathroom. I purchased this hand soap and lotion set at Homegoods store for $7.99, plus it came with a cute dish. I started by removing the labels. I peeled as much of the label as possible, by hand, and then I sprayed WD40 on the remainder of the label and glue to remove it. I carefully cleaned my bottles with rubbing alcohol to prepare them for the vinyl monogram. I quickly typed in my monogram to the Silhouette software, arranged the letters, welded them to make one piece and then cut my vinyl with my Silhouette Cameo. I used transfer tape to apply my monogram and wow, look at my pretty set! [Read more…]

The Orb Factory Heart Box

 

These sticky mosaics from The Orb Factory are a really fun craft project and make great gifts. We have given several as birthday gifts and my daughter has a few sets as well. She received the heart jewelry box a few years ago and she keeps all of her trinkets in it. The heart jewelry box is a nice quality for the price point and she had a great time embellishing it. If you are looking for unique birthday gifts for kids, these are great. My local boutique toy store sells these sets for much, much more. Amazon is having a great promo on select sticky mosaic sets. Many are marked down plus there is a “special offer” that if you buy 2 that qualify, you can get an extra 20% off both. Make sure each item you choose has the special offer listed on it’s page. The extra 20% off comes off in your basket. There are sets for both boys and girls available. If your order total is $25 or more, your order ships for free. [Read more…]
