Dangles

 Dangles 

What are They you ask?

Well they are pretty little 

baubles/creations attached with a

Lobster claw or a Swivel Hook.

Or just a plain hook you find on just about anything.

for Journals, Bibles, Purses,

 your Rear View Mirror and more

Making it easy to attach to anything you want them too. 

 If they are strong enough you can even attach them to your lamp.

I enjoy making and selling them.

Recycled Box to Trash Can

Yep I made a trash can.  Why well a new family moved to Tennessee and
several in the community have made donations to set them up in a home with
 everything that they need.

Only 3 trash cans were bought.  1 for Kitchen, and 1 for each of the 2 bathrooms.

But none for the teenagers bedrooms or for the Living room.  Not sure if everyone has trash cans for all of the rooms in there house, but our family does.   I could of gone to the store and bought 2 more trash cans, but me being one that loves crafts decided upon this.

I started with 2 used USPS priority boxes.

I covered them with Paper Mache' first.  I did the old fashion way we did as kids using a mixture of flour and water.  Now what was really weird that NEVER do I remember happening before.  Is the finished product which I will show shortly.  Looked like I has put a crackle paint over the boxes.  I painted them white several coats and finally got the cracks to go away somewhat.

Here is a picture of what I am telling you about.

yes you still see the crackle, but not all broken apart as much.  Before painting white it looked like the paper mache part would just fall off the box.

Now this one is not finished yet,but it is the above box painted white.

You might wonder what the little mountain/ built up areas are on the side.  I want to have a bit of dimension to this one.  That will be the center of some flowers.

LOL I've been piling stuff inside to clean off my couch.  Once I get done working on the Diamond Dot Painting I am doing right now, I will finish this project.  (check other posts coming soon about 5D Diamond Dot Paintings.)

Now the other box I didn't put any dimensions.  I covered it with Scrapbook paper.

I wish I had thought to take a close up of the box before I covered it.  The strip down the middle on the front came on to cover up where the box comes together.  I had not covered that area enough with the Paper Mache' so it kind of dented in there.

Below tells what was done.

Here is the Butterfly Box I made a couple years ago.  This stared out as a box that dog food came in.

These boxes are really thick and sturdy.  I have used them for all kinds of things.  lol

Including the Box below that my family and I call the Butterfly Box.  Which is where our postage stamps and a few other like items are.  So I say it's in the Butterfly box.  So much easier to explain than it is on the book shelf 2nd one over in the dinning room beside the kitchen wall.  Top shelf at the far end.  lol

I spoke above about using a thicker material on the top edges. 

instead of Card Board I used matte board that is used for all kinds of things including in framing a photo or license etc.

I hope you enjoyed reading and looking at my latest creations.

New Bird Toys and Page

I am having so much fun making Bird Toys.  Just wish I would sell them.  

Pink Activity Stacker $5.50

Am I selling them for to high?  Or just not enough people have seen them.

I think people are looking at them and making them.  This was a therapy for me.

But now they are making me sad.

Some say it is just cut up card board. But it takes a lot of time to cut up the

squares, triangles and other shapes.  Then I punch a hole in each one .

Blue and Green Activity Stacker $5.50

Green Octopus  $3.50

Do you think my prices are to high?  You can find my toy page on FaceBook.

Just look up 

Mickey Jos Craft Shack

Click above and link might take you there.

Like and share my page if you don't mind.

Well I am sorry this post is not more cheerful.  But I plan to get my behind in gear soon.  grin.

I will post about the 2 necklaces I just finished for my daughter.

So come back.  If you are not a member or follower of me.  Please follow me on blogger.

Easter Eggs for Senior Living Home

Well Easter is over with, but memories are not.  

I just wanted to show all of you what I put together for the Seniors at the 

Senior Living Home my hubby works at.

First I didn't have a lot of time because things got busy and I could not for the life of me come up with any ideas.  So after seeing several Brooches posted on our local VarageSale.com I got an idea.

Why not buy Easter Brooches and put them on felt eggs.

Ok next problem.  I needed 35 of them.  BUT I didn't want to spend $35 or more for brooches.  So I spoke with the lady told her what I was going to do with them and asked if she could maybe help out.  I told her I was not asking for a free hand out.  But could she give me a really good deal.

She wrote back she didn't have 35 Easter brooches.  I told her that was fine I could pick out others too and put them on an Easter Egg.  So we made a deal.  35 brooches for $16.  

I didn't take pictures of any of the brooches before putting them on the eggs.  But after putting a couple on eggs I decided plain eggs just would not work.  Especially for brooches that were 1" x 1 " in the middle of an Egg that was 3 inches tall.

So I got out my glitter glue.  That was not very funny.  Lots were died up or wanted to shoot out all the watery glue.  I did find that glitter glue by Rangers called Stickles.

All worked better than any of the other glues that I had.  So couple days ago I went on Amazon and ordered all the colors I could get.  GRINNING.

Here are the Easter Brooches.

Bird Toys Handmade

I'm having so much fun.  Found a new craft.

Since I own parakeets, I am always buying toys for them.  Bird owners will know they need things to play with and keep occupied.   And just like us or our children, they get bored with toys too.  So we need to rotate them now and then to keep them happy.  

Check out my toys

The Working Lady

The Activity Toy

The Helicopter Foraging Toy

These are just a few.  If you have any friends that have birds ask them to check me out.

Please leave a comment below and tell me what

Christmas Brooches OR Ornaments

Well Christmas is over, but this is the first chance I am getting to get on line and say hello to all of you out there.   I wanted to show what I made this year for the Seniors at the Senior living home where my hubby works.    Each holiday I make them something to wear on there shirts or vests.  Don't think I will ever be able to stop as one of the residents drives my hubby nuts asking what am I making next.  lol. 

These are made from the outer plastic that came from some Glitter pots I bought.  You know when you buy make up or toys or whatever from the store?  You open it from its packaging.  Well I save those and this is why.

I made these so that they can wear them but after making them I was thinking hey these would also make cute ornaments.  So I made one for me, one for my mother and one for my sister.  Here they are.

These too came from packaging.  The bottom & top one were from 

from makeup packaging.  The middle is from little hooks I bought to make hanging bird toys.

Now maybe you will know why my craft room is so full.  lol.

Zendoodles and Crafts I did in Hawaii

Well I went to Hawaii because my daughter needed me.  I was gone 6 weeks and have more time to play over there than I do at home. No pets to take care of or men to pick up after.  So this is what I did.

These are ornaments I made and then abandoned in places so lucky persons could find them and keep them.

There is a group on Facebook called Art Abandonment

Here is the link if you would like to join

The places I left them

Then I got board and tired of making these so I made these to leave around.  

And where I left them

Then I got in the Drawing mood.

I did a couple more smaller ones, but my camera won't let me pull them up.  Crazy thing.

Check my next post for what I was working on for my last 2 weeks in Hawaii.

Here is what my daughter was working on.  She is a graphic design artist.

I wanted to show you the Santa ones because I drew them.

Then I told her she needed to do some for Hawaii and those living there or going or have gone.  lol.

Where can you get these. Well by clicking on the link below of course.
