Hi Scribbers,
While surfing around on Youtube, we came across a video by Breanna at Dollar Store Mom. Breanna is taking part in Scribble Shop’s Scribble Challenge! She shared her unboxing video as she discovered the mystery supplies she is challenged to craft with!

Hi Scribblers!
As February comes to a close it’s time to start getting festively Irish with shamrocks!
Make your own Pot O’ Gold Shamrock Garden!
To make this craft you will need:
- Pipe Cleaners
- Green, Yellow and White Foam
- Green and Gold Glitter Glue
- A Terra-cotta pot
- Green Buttons
- Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue Sticks
- Green Ribbon
- Artificial Moss
- Gold Chocolate Coins
To start, draw a heart shape onto a piece of paper. The heart should be about 2 1/4 inches high by 2 1/4 inches across. Cut out the heart shape and trace onto colorful foam. Each shamrock will require four heart shapes.
Cut out the heart shapes and lay out the pieces so that each of the 4 points of the heart shapes meets at the center. Use the hot glue gun to glue these together and secure with a button or chocolate coin.
Decorate your shamrock with glitter glue or glittery foam for embellishment.
Let glitter glue dry. Hot glue a pipe cleaner to the back of the shamrock. Tie a green ribbon bow to the bottom of each stem.
Place shamrocks into the terra-cotta pot and keep these in place with artificial moss as “stuffing.” Fill the top of the pot with gold coins, put on display and enjoy!
This craft is a great treat to make with the kids and put on display for guests!
Hi Scribblers,
Today I was trying to find a fun way to store my supplies, and instead I got decorative with them!
Make your own decorative organizer!
For this craft, you will need: -Ribbon -Construction Paper
-Glitter Glue
-Pipe Cleaners
-Rhinestones
-Scissors
-Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue Sticks
-Tacky Glue
-Foam
-Popsicle Sticks
-Blue Paint
-Soda Can*
To start, trim a piece of Construction Paper to the height of a popsicle stick and around the circumference of a soda can. (Honesty Flag: As you can see in the image, I shot this with a glass cup. I later realized the cup was not quite round. I then ended up using a jar of paint. I suggest using a soda can as you will likely have this around the house. Really, any object with a cylinder shape should work) Glue the construction paper around the circumference of the soda can.
Glue the popsicle sticks to the paper using tacky glue.
If the popsicle sticks don’t meet when you get all the way around, simply glue another stick over the two non-connecting pieces (this can be the back of the organizer).
Paint the sticks with acrylic paint. Let dry
Once dry, gently slide the your organizer shape off of the soda can.
Cut a circle out of foam that is slightly larger than the circumference of your organizer. and hot glue this to the bottom of the organizer.
Decorate your organizer using popsicle sticks, glitter glue, rhinestones, ribbon and what ever else you can think of!
Happy Crafting!
Have you ever made anything with duct tape? I’ve never been into crafting with duct tape myself, but after a recent visit to the CHA conference, I came across the Duck Brand Duct Tape station and saw this…
These duct tape enthusiasts certainly got crafty with their medium! After seeing this, I purchased some colorful rolls of duct tape. I’m not sure what I’m going to make yet…but the wheels of inspiration are turning!
Hi Scribblers!
We have exciting news! We just launched the Scribble Challenge! For the next few weeks we have an awesome group of craft blogger taking part in the Scribble Challenge. Sponsored by Scribble Shop, our online shop for all creative supplies, we sent out “Scribble Boxes.” These Scribble Boxes have a mix of mystery items that the crafters have been challenged to work with! Over the next few weeks, they will be posting the crafts they have made with their supplies on their blogs. Today, Jenny from Craft Test Dummies posted a video of when she opened her Scribble Box!
It was so exciting to see this! Thanks for sharing, Jenny! We hope you have fun with the supplies and making your craft!
Hi Scribblers!
As we start to enter into the warmer weather (I know it is early, perhaps it’s wishful thinking!), I can’t help but think of the spring flowers and chirping birds! Get creative with your little ones and make a Paper Plate Bird’s Nest!
This is a fun craft to make and decorate your home!
Happy Scribbling!
So while stumbling through the interwebs today, I came across this…
How amazing is that?? I don’t think I have the surgical tools to pull this off but the wheels are already turning on this one to inspire creativity!
What does this inspire YOU to make? What could you do with cut outs and layers?
A not too often used craft supply is raffia. Raffia is long fibers made from the Raffia palm tree. Raffia can be made into a slew of interesting crafts. Today, I made flowers using a flower loom.
To make this craft, you will need:
- Raffia in a variety of colors (I used Blue and Orange)
- Flower Loom
- Hot Glue & Hot Glue Gun
- Colorful Buttons
To start, loosely tie one end of a piece of raffia to the loom to anchor it in place. Then, twist the raffia around the loom pegs in a criss-cross fashion.
Continue to do this all the way around the loom until you end where you began. Loosely tie this end of the Raffia to the end you originally anchored in place.
Next, make the center of the flower. Using the tapestry needle (included in kit), slip another color through the back and up through the center of the flower. Go down through one of the loops of the flower and back up through the center. Continue to do this through each consecutive flower loop.
When you have gotten all the way around the flower, weave the needle through the back of the flower to secure the loose ends of the raffia in place. Do this for the center raffia color and for the petal color. Snip the extra string at the loose ends.
Slide the flower off the loom and hot glue buttons onto the center for added flare.
You can use your raffia flowers to make earrings, embellish a jacket or hat or even dress up a picture frame! What will you do?
Hi Scribblers!
When I was growing up, everything could pass as a hand-me-down…clothes, shoes, backpacks, gameboys, cameras, whatever!
