Welcome to Crafty Creators Link Party, where you can share all of your wonderful crafts, DIYs, fashion, recipes, or any other thing that makes your heart happy! After you link up, I’d love it if you’d spread the word about the party! Remember, you must be following me on social media in order to be featured on next week’s party. Allyson from Southern Sunflowers is our co-hostess and is choosing features this week, so make sure you go and say hello to her!
Don’t forget to link up on Happiness is Homemade, and let’s get to the posts that I shared over the last week.
Almost two months ago I upcycled a large basket, but my morkie Bella quickly claimed it as her own. So this week I shared a post for creating your own DIY dog bed basket. My basket is 20″ long and 18″ wide, and I believe that a 15lb dog could fit in it easily. You can buy any size basket that your best friend will fit in. Bella is 3.5lbs, so she’s got plenty of space in the basket she stole! At least when she’s not in it, this dog bed is still decor!
Back in 2020 when Top Gun: Maverick was supposed to come out I shared a Cricut project with you. I updated that post so that anyone can now download the free Top Gun PNGs (I know I say it every time, but they work just like SVG cut files) and you can use it with or without a cutting machine! You can make adorable shirts, hats, cups, even party decor with your Maverick and Goose designs. I also increased the height of the designs so they’ll be the correct size when you use them. After I made my husband and son’s shirts I wanted the two designs to be taller because they seemed too thin to me. So, now they are!
I have some more free printables, home decor tutorials & other projects, so make sure you follow me on social media using the buttons in the sidebar. That way you don’t miss them!

This Week’s Features!
MaryJo, from Master Pieces of My Life, is giving us a tour through all the updates in her flower and veggie gardens. She likes to bring the outside in by decorating with the pretty blooms throughout her home. The hydrangea flowers are so beautiful, aren’t they?!
Donna at An Organized Season shows us how we can update and makeover an old basket with paint. She had her basket on hand, but thrift stores always have lots of inexpensive baskets to choose from. I love the wood applique she added for extra personality!
This strawberry bundt cake looks the yummiest of all yums! Jenna, from The Painted Apron, doctored up a Duncan Hines cake mix to make it taste like it’s fresh from the bakery. While you’re on her blog getting the cake recipe, check out her links to more strawberry recipes.
Rustic Origin, teaches us how to make a cotton throw in only one hour. They indicate that this is a simple and easy project and you don’t have to be a sewing expert. What makes the throw even easier to make is they have provided an instructional video to follow.
Thrifting Wonderland leads us through the process they took to create their red and white dinner table setting. The red paired with the white is very striking! Doesn’t that flower arrangement look great in the teapot?

CRAFTY CREATORS GUIDELINES: I’m so happy that you’re here, whether you’re here to share your latest blog posts, to be inspired be the creativity of bloggers around the world, or both. I can’t wait to see all of the wonderful things that are shared here. You can link up to five family-friendly posts. Since the link party is new, you’re free to share anything you like. New, old, link parties, giveaways, anything as long as it’s not offensive. That may change as the link party grows, but for now, have at it! Don’t just link and run. Visit few other posts before yours or peruse and visit a few that spark your interest. It’s not required, but I would love for you to share a link to the party or my blog in your post or somewhere on your blog. Remember, in order to be featured, you must be following Niki on at least one social media account.
FEATURED BLOGGER GUIDELINES: Follow Niki on FB & IG for more recognition! If you are featured this week, let me know in the comments if you’re following me on Facebook and/or Instagram. Just a short “following” will do. If you are following, Niki will schedule a post promoting your featured post across all of my social media accounts including FB, IG, Twitter, MeWe, etc. I will tag you in the post so that all of your followers can see how great your post was as well! The social media features happen throughout the weekend and just before next week’s party (usually on Tuesday and Wednesday nights). Last week I had two of the featured bloggers let me know they were following, so they were featured last night as a lead-up to this week’s party. I love showing y’all some love! If it’s been a while since you’ve been featured and you’re following, leave me a comment just in case. I’ve got a lot of craziness going on and a terrible short-term memory lol!
THE RULES are so simple! Visit a few other blogs, let them know where you found them, and you’re bound to make some friends along the way! Link up your favorite crafts, decor, recipes, fashion, DIYs, or any other family ideas post. I want you share it all! Please follow me on Pinterest, Facebook, & Instagram. To be featured next week you must be following me on at least one platform. Link up your posts, make some friends, and you just might be featured on next week’s Crafty Creators Link Party! I will feature 5 posts next week and let you know what link was the most visited.
