Shirt Pocket Pouches with Buttons Galore & More~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing a fun re-purpose project
 using lots of buttons by Buttons Galore & More (affiliate link).
You will need an old shirt to get started.

Instructions:
1. Remove pocket by cutting around with scissors.
2. Use fabric to sew or glue to cover the top seam of the pocket.
3. Add either matching material or a garment label to the
 middle of the pocket flap.
4. Use the Crop-A-Dile (or something similar) to punch
a hole through (top left corner) for an "O Ring". 
5. Decorate the flaps of the pockets with buttons. You can
sew or glue them on. I love to sew them on so the threads can match
and add color to the buttons.

Music Inspired Key Strap with Buttons Galore & More ~

Hi there!!
Today I'm sharing another project using 
the Music Value Pack by Buttons Galore & More.
Get a needle and thread, that's what you will
need to make this pretty!


I'm using a wrist key strap with gray ribbon, to highlight
the Music buttons.  They are sewn on the wrist strap using
embroidery thread.  I used black, red and white and alternated
on the buttons.

I glued (using strong wet glue) two buttons with shanks.  Take 
wire cutters and snip the shank off, so the button will lay
flat.  This a fun project for the Music geek in the
family!!!

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog.  A fun project and the 
E-Z Runner Grand Repositionalble Dots Refillable 
Dispenser came in so handy! Take a look~

As always I have all the details over on the Scrapbook Adhesives

line on the die. 

I have a short tutorial on stamping over the
die cut truck and jeep.  So easy with this method.

The coffee travel mugs are paper peiced with a stamped
sentiment.  They will look fab on a gift bag!!

Sunglasses Shaker key ring with Clear Scraps~

Hi, Connie here with a fun project using the Sunglasses Shaker by Clear Scraps.  These Shakers are so fun to create and Clear Scraps has many styles to choose from.  If you are like me, you want one of each.


The Shakers are easy to put together.  Each Shaker design comes with instructions on how to assemble.  They can be painted, inked or covered with pattern paper.  I chose to cover the back piece and the frame with pattern paper.  Using an X-acto knife works great.  Sand the edges off, using sand paper, and it is ready to add the sequins. Insert a small piece of felt, to make a loop, for the key ring and glue down all layers together.  I clip the edges down and let dry.


Add the ring through the felt loop.  Decorate and embellish, the Sunglasses Shaker, and all that is left to do is add those keys and charms.

Products used:
Clear Scraps: Sunglasses Shaker
Clear Scraps: Sequins Princess 
Clear Scraps: Sequins Ocean (the green only)
other:
Beacon Quick Grip

Creating Made Easy February Kit by Clear Scraps~Heart Shaker!

Hi, Connie here with a fun Heart Shaker project, made with the Creating Made Easy February kit by Clear Scraps.  So easy and I love the way it came together.

I have done several posts on putting the shakers together, this time I covered the top frame with paper and then sanded it down.  I want to use this for some house keys, so I also painted the top of the frame and back of the shaker with acrylic sealer.  Inside the shaker I added heart beads.  If you need a refresher course on how to put these together here is a video on Scrapbook.com that Susan Frase did. It is excellent !

Products used:
Creating Made Easy February kit
Heart Shaker

Extras added that do not come in the kit are: stickers, small flower, large ring, key and charm.

Key Rings with Creating Made Easy/Clear Scraps ~

Hi, Connie here with the Creating Made Easy January kit by Clear Scraps.  The kit has some fun acrylic tags that make really cute key rings.  Let me show you~


The trick is to sand the back of the tag with sand paper (be sure and remove the plastic film).  Gives it that frosty look.


After sanding the back, turn the tag over and remove the plastic film.  Use StazOn ink and stamp snowflakes on the front of the tag.  Add the ring and tie on strips of fabric or twine. Really cute!!




Last step ~ add snow and plaint splats.  Works great!!!

Products used: Creating Made Easy January kit by Clear Scraps
Other: key rings, StazOn ink, vintage keys, fabric and acrylic white paint for snow splats.
