Crafting and Making and Designing

 Hello Friends, it is a crafting, making and designing post.

I wanted to make some garlands for our home for the holiday. I wanted something simple and old fashioned. I decided on paper-chains and dried oranges. 

The fragrance of the oranges drying in the oven adds to the fragrances of the holiday season.

I had some old sheet music I purchased at a library sale. I used the old sheet music to create my paper-chain and snowflake.  




 

A few weeks back I mentioned my husband designed and made a new coat rack for us. He asked me what I would like for a design. I asked for oak trees, leaves and acorns.

 




Have you been up to any crafting, making or designing?

  1. I made a toy for my cats by tying a string around a paper wad, so there's that.

  3. Your hubby did an awesome job creating your coat racks. I also love your garlands. I made paper ornaments one year for my Winter tree. It was fun. Janice

  4. Have I ever made crafts, handicrafts, or designs? I still remember when I was in elementary school in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia , in the 1970s. My teacher assigned us to make an ashtray from a coconut shell. It was simple, but I still remember it clearly even now, more than 50 years later.
