For the third project I did the folded candy tins. These were really simple to make and took less than 20 minutes to complete. The total cost for this project was 1.50 for the paper. These would be great for a dinner party, kids birthday or any celebration.
I just finished project 2, creating paper envelopes. It was a great easy project to do. It took me a total of 30 min. with a cost of $3.00. I used the templates downloaded from marthastewart.com. They look great and could be used for many occasions. Here are pictures!
Martha Stewart has always been a part of my life. I remember being about 6 and being at my grandmas house and the first thing I would want to watch was Martha Stewart Living on PBS. Her crafts and the how-to lessons were always the best. I dreamed of making her recipes and crafts all the time. In fact when I was young and making crafts I would always ask "How would Martha do this?" I was that obsessed and still am. I have a dream of one day meeting Martha Stewart. She has been a huge idol to me. So I am taking it upon myself to complete every project in her book Martha Stewarts Encyclopedia of Crafts in hopes this will gain attention and I will get that opportunity. I am a novice crafter and have very little supplies, hardly any artistic ability and no sewing machine. This is going to be one huge undertaking.
Now I know that this has been done and there are many other blogs like this out there but I haven't seen one done for a craft book. So hopefully this will be an interesting and fun experience. I have to get supplies together before I begin and since I am a full time student and work part time it will probably be a week before I post the first completed craft but I cant wait to share it with you!!
