PinterTest Kitchen: Triple Craft

Pinterest has definitely bitten me with the crafty bug.
Except I feel like I have no time to execute.

Plenty of time to pin.
But not enough time to warm up that glue gun, bust out the exacto knife, or cut out googly eyes.

But a few Sundays ago, my house was clean.
My meals for the week were prepped.
And I had a few hours to myself.

So I started with the craft that seemed the most foolproof.
Because I am one crafting fool.
Remember?

Anyway, Washi Tape Pumpkins:



And here are mine:

I vote total success.
Off to a good start.


Next I decided to go out on a limb, and try something a bit more challenging - remember last month, I made the Christmas Card Wreath? When I got the supplies for that wreath, I got supplies for this one:




And here is how mine turned out:

Even more awesome than I imagined it would!
I used my Washi Tape on the clothespins - which made decorating the pins super easy.
I also used a small wreath (6" diameter?) and mini clothespins.
Come on by for a Cuppa.
You can choose one from the Tea Wreath.

At this point my sense of accomplishment was high, and I still had a lot of time left on a relaxing Sunday afternoon.
Last month's PinterTest Party, my bloggy friend Jamie PinterTested the Spooky Halloween Bunting - and it turned out AMAZING.
With all of this blogging, my scrapbooking supplies are busy collecting dust - so I took them out of retirement and made a spooky bunting of my own.

Pinspiration:



And the results of my very first bunting:



LOVE.

Such a fun day of being a Crafty Mc Crafterson.

    Crafty Cuppa Kim!!! All your projects look fantastic. I especially love the wreath...are those tea bags? That is genius! I am pinning it. I don't really drink tea, but maybe hot cocoa packets??? Awwww, I love that idea! And it would be cute kitchen decor, too!

    I love your cute crafts! Especially the pumpkins! I think I may do something like that with red & green ribbons on our white pumpkins to keep them around for Christmas! :)

    I just got on Pinterest this weekend. Super fun! :)
