Make Your Own Craft Supplies!

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about crafty people it’s that they can make just about anything!  You can save money by making supplies yourself, get exactly the color you want, or just be able to whip up some baker’s twine without having to run to the store.

Making your own craft supplies rocks!  Try some of these cool DIY tutorials…

You know you want some of this beautiful tape…well, make it!  Cathe Holden {one of my favorite bloggers} shares how she created this fabulous decorative tape.  It all starts with pretty wrapping paper and double-side mounting adhesive.  Easy Peasy!

Cathe also designed these cool printable handmade labels that you can download right here on Everything Etsy.  Stick one on everything you create!!!!

Recycle and old t-shirt and learn how to cut continuous t-shirt yarn at Releve Design.

Laura Beth from A Step in the Journey made her own baker’s twine…get out of town…it’s so cool!

Make Geo Clay Beads and design your own jewelry.  That’s what I call HANDMADE!

This is a fun project…DIY pencils from Scissors.Paper.Wok – I could use a bunch of these on my desk.

Everyone loves pom poms!  Learn how to make Mini Pom Poms from twine with Meet Me At Mikes and The Baker’s Twine.  You can’t have too many.
