Today in Crafting: Mini Christmas Cards

Today, we’re featuring these mini Christmas cards:

These were made with cloth, glitter glue, and small pieces of card stock. The envelopes are thick paper held together with tape (the red star can be used as decoration and/or to hold the envelope closed). Email us at appleofmyoddeye@gmail.com if you’d like to order some. They’re small enough to fit in your palm but big enough to wish someone a happy holiday! You can also find us at the Strange and Astounding Show next Saturday and Sunday (November 29 and 30) in Oshawa.

Steampunk Earrings

Today’s craft is a pair of steampunk earrings. Sarah bought the gears at Michael’s art store and the wire and earring hooks at a dollar store.

These were fun and quick to make (much quicker than our polymer earrings!). We’ve got a few similar pieces like this up on our Etsy, and we’ll be selling our jewellery, art prints, cards, pin-back buttons, and more at the Strange and Astounding Show in Oshawa, November 29-30.
