COTW - Toilet Paper Roll Wall Hanging



I also got this idea off of  http://pinterest.com/. Its made from toilet paper/paper towel rolls! I mean you throw those things away anyways! there are SO many cool ideas and patterns and I hope to make them all =) Anyways its super easy! 
-take a toilet paper roll and flatten it in half (this will give it that tear drop shape)
-mark off around one inch sections with a pen or something
-cut the roll into 1 in strips
-then glue them into any pattern you want! I would glue four of them together in the center then glue those bigger flower patterns together to make this =)

happy crafting!

COTW (craft of the week) - Jean Braclet

So I realize this isn't a happiness challenge, kinda gave up on that since I was so far off on the days. And recently I have been crafting a lot and just kind of wanted to share what I have been making. This first thing is a jean bracelet that I made out of wire, a jean seam, and beads.



They are adorable! I made 4 of them, 2 of which I gave away. And since the wire is already coiled it is so easy to put on and wear for a whole day. 
Have a great day everyone!
