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.
Don’t forget to link up on Happiness is Homemade. Now let’s get to the posts that I shared over the last week.
I’m so excited to get started on my fall decor! This week I shared a tutorial for this early fall hanging basket wreath that you can make in minutes!
Did you know that you’re supposed to clean your washing machine every month and your dryer twice a year (at least)? If you haven’t done that in a while, you’ll definitely want to check out my tutorial for giving your washer and dryer a full, deep cleaning!
I have some more decor DIYs and back to school printables and ideas coming up so make sure you follow me on social media using the buttons in the sidebar or at the top of the page. That way you don’t miss them! Enter your email address below to get an email when I add a new post, including new link parties, so you never forget to join us!
This Week’s Features!
Summer is rapidly coming to a close, but that you still have time to get in a few crafty summer projects. How about sun painting? I had never heard of it, but Gail of Purple Hues and Me shared a really cute sun-painted bandana tutorial that looks like so much fun!
How cute is this pinstripe bolster pillow made by Cara of Vintage Style Gal?! Her tutorial is completely no-sew, which is perfect for those who don’t have a machine or those who aren’t the most adept at using it! Ahem, I’m looking at me here.
My family and I absolutely Outback’s blooming onions. Imagine my delight at finding Esme’s, of Esme’s Salon, blooming onion recipe! I can’t wait to try it out. Be sure to pin her tutorial so you can too!
Claire of Pillar Box Blue shared a roundup of 25 DIY projects to make with velvet, and I think I want to make more than half of them! Velvet is perfect for upcoming fall decor, so you don’t want to miss the DIY acorns, leaves, mushrooms, and pumpkins!
Over the past two weeks I’ve made a few really easy macrame projects, so when I saw this macrame towel holder, made by Wendy of My French Twist, I had to share it. These would make fabulous handmade hostess gifts, wouldn’t they?! Trust me, macrame is so much easier than it looks. You can start making them now for Christmas gifts!

On to Our Crafty Creators Link Party!
Hey friends! I’m writing from the road on an iPad, and I’m having a difficult time saving photos and uploading them to use on the features. I still wanted to get this party out to you. So, I will add the features as soon as I’m able to get somewhere to open my laptop! I’ll comment on your blog if you are chosen so that you can come back and see it. Sorry about this, but I’ll do my best to put the petal to the metal to get somewhere to get them out to you! Until them, link away!
