Bonjour Canvas Tote!

 Bonjour Canvas Tote! I received a bunch of fun crafty supplies from Burlap Fabric! Like this great tote/grocery bag!  I just wanted to make it a little more fun! This is a high quality canvas bag!  Sturdy and durable! I used some black flocked heat transfer vinyl and cut out a fancy Bonjour with my Silhouette Cameo!     Just reverse the text before cutting out. Then weed out the excess vinyl!  Get your ironing board/iron and a tea towel ready! Then place the bonjour with the plastic side up...  Place a tea towel on top...  Iron on med/high for a few minutes  Then a quick minute right on the plastic...just be cautious!  Peel back the plastic...re-iron if necessary  Perfect! Great to customize as gifts!  This bag is square! Perfect for big loads! This post published on Doodlecraft first 

Wire Wrapped Bird Nest Ring!

 Wire Wrapped Bird Nest Ring!  Easy Handmade project for tweens and up! Wire Wrapped Bird Nest Ring!

This will create the messy bird nest and help it keep its shape.  Leave the center open for the bead eggs.  Place the beads on the wire...  And bend them to fit in the egg. Twist the wire underneath and loop it around another wire to secure it in place.  Now for the ring. Similar to this wire wrapped ring I did here: You will need a ring sizer and mandrel You will need 12 inches of 20 gauge wire. Place the wire 1/2 a size bigger than you need it to end up and wrap it around the mandrel. Wrap it back around and twist it tight ...
