Something about recycled t-shirt crafting is so wonderful. Camilla over at one of my favorite blogs, Family Chic, created these fun bangle bracelets by covering old bracelets with old t-shirt fabric. T-shirt bracelets are my new thing, apparently! Save your old t-shirts, and reuse them to refresh your accessories this summer.

Resin has always been on my crafting bucket list, and I was so excited this week when I finally got to try my hand at resin crafting, courtesy of ETI Environmental Technology, the makers of Envirotex Lite Resin.

Looking for a unique focal point for a dessert table at your next gathering?  Try out this project; everyone will be buzzing about the results!  Lisa from The Enchanted Oven had a hankering to make something out of rice krispie treats and decided that a beehive would be a fairly foolproof idea.  Don’t worry if you don’t fancy yourself to be much of a sculptor; …

For most of us, crafting is a fun and productive way to pass our idle time.  And some of us have  a whole  lot of idle time to pass!  For those who are ill, injured, or experiencing a difficult pregnancy, it is common for doctors to order bed rest.  DSC reader Kortni is one of those crafters confined to a chair with a lot of …
