Here are the crafts our group had the chance to try this month.
Flat Spiral Bracelet
Flat Spiral Bracelet
First of all, Linda M and her group created a lovely Flat Spiral Bracelet . Linda has very kindly agreed to share the instructions to make this bracelet, just click on the link and it will open a new page. Using different sizes of beads can create a number of looks.
Fleather Booklet
View Finder Card
Linda showed her group how to make a viewfinder card. This is a lovely design with a wheel that can be spun to see various images and sentiments.
3D Shoes & Handbags
We weren't sure if Dawn's group were getting ready for a night out or papercrafting while making fantastic 3D shoes and handbags.
Artist Trading Cards
The group have started an ATC swap every month with varying themes.This months theme was Spring. For those who were not sure what ATCs were about, our Altered Art Queen, Kim, ran a demonstration. If you would like more information about ATCs take a look at the Go Make Something website. The Clarity Stamp website also has a page for inspiration. Craftaholics past themes including photos can be found here or on the toolbar to the right under "ATC Swaps".
Distress Technique Card
Distress Inks made their second appearance on this afternoon with Sharon's Distress Technique card. A lovely effect is created by layering embossed images and Distress Inks.
Kusudama Flowers
Mandie added a touch of spring to the room with her Kusudama flowers. Beautiful Japanese flowers that can be used to create various decorations.
Spiral and Chain Jewellery
Last but by no means least is Lori's Jewellery demo. Dilemma choosing from too many beautiful beads and a few choice words when making the spirals but I am sure fun was had by all (I certainly enjoyed it!)
Thank you for taking time to look at the Craftaholics Anonymous Blog. Be sure to look back next month!
