ok, I messed up. I tend to scan quickly when I am excited about a project. So you said vertical blinds and the ones I saved were the regular vinyl blinds. I got out 4 slats and washed them (in shed) and got busy with the directions in hand. First one I bent in half broke. So the next one I did not crease but just fold...got to the points and they broke. No telling how old they were when I did a curb find but I guess they were not a good choice, lol. So I took some fun foam I have and using all white, got confused. So I found a tan sheet and did get a flat star done. So I will try with paper and practice because I am gona find some verticals and make some. Maybe I can find some that are on sale racks also. Maybe some where the hangers are damaged cause I will not need them. I do believe the regular vinyl blinds would work if newer and could find some of these on sale rack. Oh, it is the top and bottom of the regular vinyl blinds that I am gona use for hanging flags or banners outside this summer.

Wow! It's amazing! I'll give the link to my sister, she will make a good use of it, for sure! (Hope she will make some items for me, lol).

Thanks Donna! We try to come up with "quality" crafts, so the adults aren't bored to tears for 3 hours. We got a little tired of the pre-packaged "foam" crafts, if you know what I mean. We have quite a number of ladies that come without kids because they like them too. We also try to focus a lot on recycling, or "out of the box" ideas for things, like the lightbulbs and chip-clips. Feel free to share the ideas and the website. I'm soon to be unemployed, so I should have more time on my hands to update the page. Eventually I hope to be selling things from it. It's so much more my passion than computer programming. BTW, the little pails can be gotten at any wedding favor supply store. We happened across them at the Dollar Tree for 3/$1! It was a steal! We bought all we could find before I even knew what we were going to do with them. Of course, we do that a lot. Since we're so conscious of pricing, we buy things on clearance or after Christmas and then figure out later what we'll do with it. For example, my partner in this event salvaged her neighbor's cedar fence this summer and then asked "What can we do with this?" We decided it's going to be a decorated birdhouse this year. I'll be putting that on the website shortly, I hope. Thanks for your compliments and enjoy! And keep checking back!

No crochet! Wrap it around two fingers and use a darning needle to make the wreath and red to make the bow.
