Toilet Paper Roll Wreath

I made this as a sample of what we were going to be doing for our Family Holiday Craft Day at the library.  I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out. I even like that it isn't painted (I thought it would look cheap or stupid).  My inspiration for the wreath was this wreath at Creative Jewish Mom, but I was worried I wouldn't have enough TP rolls to make them that big. So I played around with folding the TP roll pieces and came up with this. It's only about 8" in diameter, but I kind of like that it's small.

Here are the instructions in pdf format.

Scrabble tile pendants for Relay for Life fundraising

The past couple weeks I've been working on making scrabble tile pendants to sell to raise money for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.  Once again, I'll be joining my mom's team for the Bakersfield Relay and volunteering at the Survivor's tent.

Most of the pendants I've made are pink, specific to breast cancer awareness and are from artwork created by Ashley Marie Design (found on Etsy).  My mom suggested making one in purple (the main Relay color) and more generic. So here's what I created.

It's amazing that I was able to find everything I needed for this project on Etsy: scrabble tiles, bails, cords, resin bubbles.  I heart Etsy.
