Rainbow Loom Sea Coral Bracelet

Good Morning Friends,

First of all I want to thank everyone who is subscribing to my blog or who has viewed my blog.  It may not seem like a lot but seeing that I have had 1,049 views on my blog is more than I thought I would ever see.  I was even excited after receiving 20 views. LOL  Your responses to my craft blog has encouraged me to continue crafting and sharing each week.  I hope you continue to follow me and if you are a new subscriber...Welcome to my craft blog!

On to this week's project share...Another one of my favorite crafts is with the Rainbow Loom.  Some of you may have seen my Rainbow Loom Mario keychain.  If you haven't, here is the direct link to that page.

I also like making different Rainbow Loom bracelets.  When I came across the Sea Coral Rainbow Loom Bracelet by Sea Wolfe I just had to try it.  Here is the finished bracelet I made.


It was so fun to make but very time consuming because each color band has to be twisted and rolled.  But I think the finished product does look like sea coral.  

This bracelet definitely makes me think of summer and going to the beach.  I will be making a bunch of these to sell at craft fairs this summer.  If you would like to order one send me an email at dbcroce15@gmail.com

Custom orders are always welcomed if you would like different colors or need a smaller or bigger size bracelet.

This will definitely be a bracelet I will be wearing this summer. 

The next project I am working on is a suggestion made by a friend.  It is a duct tape backpack.  I have never made one before so it is a bit of a challenge.  I am designing and making my own pattern for this one. A lot of techniques I have learned in the past is how this backpack is coming together. I am so excited to share it with you but you will have to check back next week to see it.

Until then...Bee Creative!!!

Thanks everyone for your support. :)

A Wearable Duct Tape Craft Item - Duct Tape Beaded Bracelets

Happy Tuesday Friends,

Even though it is rainy out today and the weather makes me want to be lazy. I am working hard to complete my craft items for the Spring craft fair coming up.  This week's craft item is one of the items I will be selling there.  

It is a duct tape beaded bracelet.  They come in all different colors. Combined with solid colored pony beads they make a beautiful piece of jewelry.

Here is a photo of all of them that I have so far.  



 It was a good way to use up the end of my duct tape rolls so there was no waste.  I used Stretch Magic which is a bead and jewelry cord to string on the duct tape beads and pony beads.  I made myself a few of them already to coordinate with some of my clothes.  They are definitely customizable and I will make them in any colors you would like.

Here are some close up photos of each bracelet.


purple and teal



olive green and yellow striped



cherry and black



chocolate spots



pink and white



green and sky blue



fuschia and purple



black and white



black, red and pink striped 



blue multi-color




I'm wearing this one at the moment because it reminds me of Spring with all the pretty colors.  The duct tape beads on this bracelet were actually made with the butterfly pattern duct tape.



If your interested in purchasing any of these bracelets or would like one custom made, send me an email at dbcroce15@gmail.com

Have a great day!

Duct Tape Lunch Bag Update

Good Morning Friends,

It is a beautiful Monday morning here.  Over the weekend I worked on some duct tape lunch bag coolers for a friend of mine.  I wanted to share them with you.  
They are 2 minion and 2 Spongebob pattern ones.  


They are all insulated to keep hot and cold foods and have a velcro closure.
When they are opened they measure 11 inches tall and 6 inches wide with a depth of 4 inches.  They are just the right size to pack a kid's lunch.
Although, I am in the process of making my husband a Duck Dynasty one so it is perfect for anyone to carry their lunch.  I will post a photo of the Duck Dynasty one after it is completed.

Stay tuned for tomorrow when I post another duct tape craft that I will be selling.  It is a duct tape project that is wearable. 

Until tomorrow...have a great day! :)

Not Your Ordinary Lunch Bag

Hi Friends,

It's a beautiful sunny Spring day here.  Finally!  I'm so glad that Mother Nature didn't play an April Fools joke today.  I actually sat in my car today without a coat while waiting to pick up my son from school. 

This morning I completed this week's craft project.  It is a lunch bag cooler. Here is a photo of it.


   
I'm making these lunch bags in a variety of patterns.  The neat thing about these lunch bags is they are insulated and will hold both hot and cold foods. It has a velcro closure on the front flap.


You can see in the above photo the interior of the bag.  Can anyone guess what I used to insulate the bag?

The neat thing about this lunch bag is it will fold flat when you are done using it so it will fit nicely in a backpack.



I had a lot of fun making this Spongebob duct tape lunch bag.  More patterns coming soon.

If you would like to order this item please message me and I will be happy to help you.

If this is your first time viewing my blog, thanks for stopping by.  Remember to subscribe to this blog because I post new craft items I am making and selling every week.
