Super Saturday. Never thought I would look forward to it so much. Last weekend I went to Super Saturday in Mike's family ward and LOVED it! The crafts in his family ward are 10 times better than the cheesy crap we made in the married student wards. I feel bad saying that because our RS had to cater to poor married college students....but seriously. The crafts they come up with in family wards are delux AND inexpensive. Here is what I made....
This craft can be enjoyed for two holidays! Pretty cool huh?
These pillows are made of a burlap type fabric. Way easy to make. I traced the patterns on to paper, cut the pattern out with an exacto knife, ironed the paper onto fabric, then used a sponge and craft paint to stencil the pattern. I can't remember what kind of paper we used but one side of the paper sticks to the fabric when you iron it on. You can print graphics off on your computer onto the paper if you want. It's way cool.
Have you been in Restoration Hardware lately? OK, first of all I love everything in that store, and pretty much the entire store is fashioned in burlap fabric right now. I mean unless you want to pay an arm and a leg for their decorative pillows go right ahead, but you can totally make your own imitations. Just sayin.

IIII LLOOOOVEEE THOSE CRAFTSSSS!!!!! can we please make some together whenever i see you next?!?!?! why didn't we think of making cute things when we both didn't have school?!?!?

CUTE! I tried to make that sign once but all the craft stores were out of the stuff I needed! Yours turned out adorable! and the paper was probably freezer paper!
WoW! You GO girl {hey flash back to 90's}. I LOVE all of those - especially the pillows. Yeah, I was a sucker for the burlap this season and spent waaay too much. I kept thinking, "I could make these myself." In fact, one of my favorite etsy stores sells those pillows and she sells out of them as soon as she posts them. May be a new avenue for you to make some extra moola on the side, friend. Would you post step-by-step how to make the signs? love 'em!
