Introducing... The 12 Quirky Days of Christmas!!!

Merry-early-Christmas!

For Christmas this year, Ella and I are doing what we are calling "The 12 Quirky Days of Christmas".  Each day we will have a different category, and we'll have different Christmas projects for that category.  Some days we'll have just one project, and other days we'll have more.  Some crafts will take all day and some will just be a quick, last minute project.

There will be specific categories like "Mason Jar Gifts" and "Wine Cork Crafts", and more general categories like "Christmas Cards and Gift Wrapping", and "Christmas Clay".  Whatever you're looking for, you're bound to find it on The Quirky Crafter's Heaven during The 12 Quirky Days of Christmas.

On the first day our category will be "Creative Countdowns".  Day two will have "House Decor".  We will release a little bit more of the schedule later.

This all starts on Monday the 14th and ends with a big surprise on Christmas Day.

Happy Christmas Crafting,
Hannah

P.S. Just a side note: On January 1st (yup, New Year's Day), we will not have a new page, because Ella and I will be taking a break after The 12 Quirky Days Of Christmas.  We will be up and running again on January 8th, so there will be a short Sneak Peak on January 1st.

Clay Octopus

Hey!

So as you can probably tell, Ella's and my schedule is way off, so sorry about that.  Actually, it's for a good reason.  But before we talk about that, I want to let you know that Ella's page for this week is up.   She has a really cute clay octopus tutorial here.

Alright, so now for why we've been so busy:

Ella and I are planning on doing "The 12 Quirky Days of Christmas".  Basically, each day we'll have another category with projects.  So our "DIY Christmas Cards" day will have different cards, etc.  This starts on Monday, December 14th and ends on Christmas Day.

There will be another post explaining more about this later this week.

Oh and next week we will post the clay octopus (with only six legs).  To learn more about it come back next week.


Once again Happy Thanksgiving!

Safe Travels,

Sneak Peek of the Week

Hey Y'all,

I was just stopping in to let you guys know that Hannah's Loopy Letters page will be posted today.  They are super fun to make and would be a prefect Christmas gift.  If you want to check them out click the link below or go to our "Random" page.
http://quirkycraftersheaven.blogspot.com/p/fabric-letters.html

Next up I would like to tell you about next week's post which will be a clay octopus (with only six legs).  This is a fun clay project that I think anyone could do.  I have done it with kids as young as 4 years old and they loved it (adults might just have to make sure they don't consume the clay).  To see the full lesson come back next week!


~ELLA

Just Check en In!

Hello Viewers,

Another month has past and we just wanted to tell you what we are up to and just say hi.  We have been an up and running blog for almost 2 months (mini victory), and we have yet to miss a blog post on Friday!  Over all for us that may be a new record.  Most of the time Hannah and I give up on our "bright" ideas within a few weeks.  Not this one though (knock on wood that we keep it up).

So, now I just want to give you a little overview of what the next few months are going to look like.  First off Hannah and I are going to work our butts off to get you as many Christmas ideas as possible (we'll see how many two two teenage girls with seven classes a day and other activities can).  We'll be going crazy for Christmas with theme "The 12 days of Christmas".  So, we still have roughly a month until all of this happens.

Talking more in the present, Hannah and I have decided that since we are going all out for Christmas, we will not be going too big for Thanksgiving.  One of us will most likely post something on Thanksgiving, but don't expect it to be like Halloween ( we will try to be more planned out about it next year to get you more Thanksgiving ideas).

So, I think that is about all that we will be up to for the next few months.  Hope that you are enjoying our blog, and if your have any questions, comments, problems, or ideas please be sure to tell us.  Either leave a comment or email us at thequirkycraftersheaven@gmail.com.


Yours Truly,
Ella

Halloween Sneak Peak

Hey Everyone!

Since Halloween is coming up in just a few weeks, we've decided to do some Halloween projects.  To start it off, we've published our first page called "Candy Corn Fun".  You can find it under the "clay" or "jewelry" category, or by click on the picture.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's just the start of our Halloween ideas!  So far we have 8 projects, but we're planning on doubling that!  Most of the projects shouldn't take that long to make.  There will be plenty to choose from for that last minute party that you don't want to spend 2 hours preparing for!

Check back next week (10~30~15) to see the full tutorial.  It will be under the "random" category.

Here's just two of the projects you'll see next week:

See ya then!

Crazy Crayon Canvas Sneak Peak

Hey!

We have a new page called "Hearts to the New Mr. and Mrs"!  Take a break from that crazy wedding planning to create these adorable charms.  This tutorial is under the "clay" category, or click on the picture. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also, here's a sneak peak for next week's tutorial:

I always get so excited when it's time to hang decorations on the wall to change up a room a bit.  What I love even more is when I made the decoration.  Melted crayon canvases are great for playrooms, art rooms, or even your bedroom!  

Check back next Friday (10~16~15) to see the full tutorial.  It will be under the "random" category.

See you then!

Crafting Can Be Hard!!!

Hey!

As you guys probably don't know, we try to do a monthly letter (we basically just write about something about the blog).  We still post our regular tutorials; this is just extra.  Just keep scrolling to find our sneak peak!

    So...  I don't know about you guys, but Ella and I fail at about 60% of our projects, give or take (wouldn't you say so Ella?...  She says yes!! :)).

Anyhoo, most of the projects Ella and I see we think look so cool... and then we decide to try them.  We start a "5 minute project" thinking "well, this will be a fun, quick project!" and 45 minutes later we finally finish the project, and wonder where it had gone terribly wrong!!

    But that's okay!!!  If we kinda like the idea, we'll save it for another day, and come back to it thinking, "okay, how can I change this so it will work?"  Or maybe we just got so fed up with the project that we decide to just forget about it. 

    Ella and I aren't "advanced and professional" crafters.  Most of the stuff we have is stuff that any even somewhat crafty person will have.  And we're no more skilled than any of you.  So, my point is, if we can do these crafts, you can too!!  And if you've failed some crafts before, who cares?  In the past 2 weeks I have tried 8 different projects and 6 of them haven't worked out...

    Please don't look at one of our ideas and think "oh, that looks interesting"  and then see that it has more than 5 steps, and decide that it's too hard.  Because I'm not sure about Ella, but I know that if you have to cut a piece of duct tape and stick it to another, I'll probably put that in 10 steps!!

    Sorry if that was sorta long, but I'm just trying to stress the point that if you find a hard craft, go for it!!!  (I'd like to say that hard crafts are good for the brain too, but that would take some research, and since it's the weekend, I think I'll pass).

Thanks for reading!
~Hannah

How to Cut Wine Corks Sneak Peak

Hey!

We have a new page called "Your Key's Home"!  It's a great idea for those of you who always loose their keys
(hi mom!) or just love organization.  You can find it under the "sewing" category or click on the picture and it will bring you there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also, here's a little sneak peak for next week's tutorial:

Since I'm planning on posting a tutorial for a project using wine corks in a couple of weeks, I thought I would make a post about how to cut wine corks.  If you've ever worked with wine corks before, you know that they tend to crack and crumble.  This method helped a lot for me.

Check back next Friday (9~18~15) for the full tutorial, complete with easy-to-follow steps and pictures!  You'll be able to find it under the "random" category.

See you then!
