Peace Craft Love Podcast; Personalized DIY Gifts YOU Can Make

Since we are getting so close to Christmas, we decided to share some of our ideas for some easy gifts you can make.

Several years ago, Terry and her four children made a fun able cloth that is still used today. All you need is paint, cloth, and little hands!

Do you have a family history buff in the home? Tammy made a resin photo pendant with a picture of her great, great aunt! You don't have to use old photos though, you could use a photo of your pet, or even a flower, or whatever! Here is a link for instructions. 

Do you love to scrapbook? Even if you don't here is a great idea. Terry is in the middle of making an easy one from a trip she and her husband took to Qatar. She shows one that is already done from a cruise in 2018.

Tammy is in the middle of making a pretty cool item that many of us probably never heard of. Altered Book. Check out this link for more info on how to put one together.

Do you have someone who loves to make jewelry or sew? These next ideas would be great for those on your gift list. Terry show a few items from her November issue of Bargain Bead Box, but if you want to see everything, check out her video here. Oh! By the way, if you want your own subscription or want to give one as a gift, go here to sign up, and use the code FLAMINGO to get $2 off your first subscription. 

One other thing...if you want to see what Terry did with some of the items in November's subscription, here is a vlogmas video showing what she made. 

Tammy shows off her subscription of fabric from The Sunny Path. Check out her video of a more close up view here. She also shares the link to The Sunny Path Etsy shop on her video.

Remember, The sisters have their own Etsy shops. Tammy is getting ready to shut her shop down for a bit, but Terry's is still going to be around for awhile. She has a variety of ornaments and jewelry made from seashells, natural and glass beads, and recycled guitar strings. 

If you want some good deals on Dolls...go to Tammy's shop (for a limited time).

Well, I hope you enjoy our video! Please let us know what you think in the youtube comments, give us a thumbs up and subscribe!

Until next time...

Here's hoping y'all have a wonderful day, and a lot of Peace Love and Crafts!

Peace Craft Love Podcast Episode 3; Gift Ideas You Can Craft

This weeks Peace Craft Love Podcast is a little different. The sisters decided to share some easy, fun crafts you can make for those on your gift list. Plus, one bonus gift tip.

First,  the winner of our giveaway from last time, was announced. Remember, the prize was a pattern from Erica Arndt...Erica Arndt's Scrap Bin Pattern. Congratulations to our winner!

Now for some fun gifts YOU can make!

The first idea is something Terry made for Tammy about 30 years ago! Holiday table cloths! Very easy sewing project for even the beginner sewer.

Idea number 2...Draw string totes. Tammy shows off a beautiful elephant tote she made. There are quite a few tutorials on YouTube, but this one is the one Tammy used. Terry shows a couple of her little draw string bags she makes for some of her jewelry she sells in her shop. 

 The third idea...loom knit hats. These are super easy! You don't even have to know how to knit! Tammy shows a couple of looms she picked up online. If you want to use more of a bulky yarn you will need this loom. The hat she shows off was made from some nice quality yarn; Begonia Medium and Machu Picchu 4 yarn

Idea #4 Tammy shows some simple, elastic skirts she has made for her dolls and grand-nieces. Youtube is a great place to go for so many great ideas, and she found a simple pattern at Made Everyday with Dana.

Idea 5...Terry explains all about lanyards...lanyard necklaces and face mask lanyards

And idea #6 is a great idea for all those essential oil lovers on our gift list...necklaces and then ornaments for the tree and your car! Terry shows some of her creations to give you ideas on what you can make. She does have a little tutorial on how to make them too!

Lastly, the sisters talk about their experience with Lori Prell Studio. Lori is an artist from Central Florida, who will not only paint a special piece for commission, but also offers paint parties. If you live in the area, a paint party would be a great gift, but if you are not local, Lori does a great job working with you on a special piece. The sister's talk about their experiences with Lori.

Terry and Tammy love sharing their crafting experiences and expertise with you. Podcasts are posted on Saturday's...bi-weekly. Hope to see ya next time!

In the meantime, we wish you Peace, Love and a lot of Crafting...
