Doctor Who Patches Tote Bag!

 Doctor Who Patches Tote Bag!  I love tote bags! There is this discount store near my house that sells things that are "mess ups" mostly with monogramming. This bag is huge and sturdy--and I love those rope handles. For $5 I brought it home.  I used my tiny scissors and seam ripper and unraveled some of the monogramming. The patches didn't quite cover the letters, so I needed to remove some embroidery.  Then I got these fabulous Doctor Who themed patches from Melarky store on Etsy. Just message them what you want and they will get it made for you. They also do custom work! If you want Doctor Who patches, let them know you saw it on Doodlecraft! Their patches come with a heat adhesive on the backside. Just peel off the paper.  Place on the tote and cover with a tea towel. Then iron gently for a couple minutes.  Then remove the towel! You can stitch them afterwards if you want, but they are quite secure!  Perfect for the...

Flower Monogram!

 Flower Monogram!  I needed something amazing and bright to hang in my daughter's new room! This was the perfect touch!  I got an "H" cut from MDF at a craft convention...you could use cardboard too! And I had a bunch of silk flowers...they are at nearly every yard sale or the dollar store! And a hot glue/gun.  I had a few butterflies for added fun!  Then just take one at a time and hot glue them on.  Stack a second layer of flowers here and there to fill in any gaps... then add the butterflies on top!  Awesome and perfection!!! Great way to add some fun and color to the room! Can't wait to get it all finished!!! This post published on Doodlecraft first 

Monogram Marquee Sign!

 Monogram Marquee Sign! Easy and cheap! Great for kids crafts!  First you will need to take a trip to the Dollar Store! (I picked Dollar Tree) I found a string of 10 LED Colored Flower lights! A pack of AA batteries and 1 sheet of black foam core board. (spent $3)  The lights only need 2 batteries...so I have 6 for later.  I used scrap paper and cut out an "S". (Letters like A B E F H K R X Y are hard to do with  a single strand of lights...so take that into consideration)  I used my hot knife...basically a wood burner with an x-acto knife tip to cut the foam core. This works great!  Unfortunately I creased the board accidentally...oh well.  I measured out 10 holes...making sure I didn't stretch the LED string too far between bulbs. Then used a pen to poke holes through the foam core.  The plastic flowers easily come off the LED bulb.  So you can string the lights and push the bulb through  t...
