Prim Raven & Poe Box - Dollar Store Crafting

This is my last Dollar Store DIY for Halloween and it almost didn't happen because I had to drag the oatmeal box out of my hubby's hands who was instant that the empty box should go in the trash. You should have seen the look on his face as I'm trying to explain my plans for the little oatmeal container, lol.


Supplies:
  • Empty oatmeal box
  • Dollar store raven
  • Card stock
  • Book pages
  • Scrapbook paper
  • Black Paint
  • Black glitter

Cut the box to the height that you want, it's easy with just a pair of scissors.

To create a lip for the lid cut a strip of card stock and cover with scrapbook paper of your choice and attach to plastic lid.  I covered with Mod Podge of extra durability and sprinkled with black glitter while still wet, BTW unlike me make sure that the lid is firmly on the glitter bottle before.... sprinkling the lid, I ended-up with a kitchen floor and a dog covered in black glitter!


Cover the bottom of the box with book pages, mine are from a $1.00 book from the Dollar Tree, cover with mod podge and antique with black paint.

Once the box lid is dry you can attach your Dollar Store Raven!  I created a Poe necklace for mine to mimic my Raven & Poe Gift Tags.


Happy crafting!

Getting ready for Halloween

Ok, so by now I have usually gone through tons of Halloween DIY inspiration and started creating new spooky décor for my house. In fact by now I have at least decorated my front porch for Fall. But…. this year I am really lacking the humph to get started, maybe because it is still around 100 degrees here and my lovely rose bushes and butterfly bushes have now died.


But, at least I have created a few chic Halloween celebration items for my Etsy Shop, inlcuding fun Spooky Chic Gift / Hang Tags and one of a kind assemblage jewelry pieces.

lulu lang

Introducing my friend and Etsy Forget Me Nots Daily Discoveries  Teammate, lulu lang! I adore her shop featuring handmade cards, invitations, gift tags & paper crafts. Her work is so hip (I think I may be telling my true age using that term) creative and fresh!

In celebration of her Year Anniversary on Etsy she is holding a Giveaway starting tomorrow, One lucky winner will receive 6 cards and 6 gift tags valued at $25.00, check out her Blog for more details!

Here's her wonderful story:

My name is Tracy and I run a little Etsy shop called Lulu Lang, where I create and sell handmade cards, invitations, gift tags, stationary and paper crafts. I live in the just outside of Toronto, Ontario where you can usually find me crafting away and pursuing my dream of some day running my shop as my full time job. I joined Etsy only a year ago, and love the opportunity it has given me to sell to customers worldwide.

I started making cards about 8 years ago as a hobby, but last year I decided to take the plunge and see if I could actually be successful at doing what I love to do. So far, this adventure has been a big learning experience, but I am having tons of fun and I have met some wonderful artists on Etsy who are also doing following their hearts and dreams. I love seeing the smiles on people’s faces when the open one of my cards. I know they appreciate a handmade card more than any store bought one, and it is what keeps me doing what I love to do.
 
 

There is just something about paper that gets me excited. There are so many different textures, colours and patterns and there are so many different things you can do with it that it never gets boring. I admit, I am a paper addict, but ribbon, stamps, embossing powders and gorgeous little embellishments also put a smile on my face. I have so many ideas spinning around in my head that my hands can’t keep up with all the crafting.

You can find me on Etsy, Facebook, Twitter and my Blog.   I hope you take a minute to stop by, and don’t be shy to say hello!

New Line of Gift Tags

Now I have completely taken over the formal dining room for my “hobby” as my husband is calling it. I suppose once I start actually making money instead of spending it on supplies then he might, just might start considering it my second job? Oh well, any how I love it and it keeps me sane and gives me joy!


So, now I’ve started delving into decorative collage gift tags and it’s so much fun. You should see my stash of glitter, I should take a picture. I so love glitter! And yes, I’ve already started on Halloween and Christmas tags. Eventually I will also be creating paper and glitter kits, along with some of my vintage buttons , ephemera and lace stash.
