June 19, 2012 By Vanessa @ {nifty thrifty things} | 65 Comments

There’s something about pinwheels that screams summer-time to me.
With 4^th of July only being only two weeks away from the official start of summer, it’s the perfect match in my opinion!

So today, just in time to celebrate Independence Day, I thought I’d share a patriotic pinwheel printable freebie with you. I hope you’ll enjoy the little craft! ;)

What you’ll need:

Card stock
Printer
Scissors
Glue
Straight pins with a head
Pliers
Paper lollipop sticks

{free mother’s day printables}

How did it get to be Mother’s Day in less than a week?! Does time seem to go by faster this year? Or is it because I’m getting older (am I really turning 30 this year?! ;) )?

Well, anyways — I thought I’d share some freebie printables in honor of our fabulous moms! The cards print at 10″ x 7″ and fold to 5″ x 7″. {be sure to print at 100%}

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there! :)

{valentine treat bags}

February 10, 2012 By Vanessa @ {nifty thrifty things} | 20 Comments

I know Friday is usually my {floral friday} post. But, since Valentine’s Day is so close and I still wanted to share one more little craft with you before V-Day, I decided to postpone the floral post until next week.

These little treat bags are the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for anyone with a sweet tooth (and of course eye candy lovers)! :)

What you’ll need:

brown packing paper
a printer
crazy scissors
sewing machine
fabric tape for the bunting
string for the bunting and to close the heart
candy
a hole punch

How to:

Cut two pieces of packing paper to 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches.
Place one of the pieces in the printer and print the design on it.
Place the two pieces of paper on top of each other and cut along the outer heart-shaped line with crazy scissors.
Sew along the inner heart-shaped line, leaving the gap on top open.
Decorate the heart with the fabric tape bunting. Just cut little triangles and run them along a piece of string on top of the heart.
Use the hole punch to create two little holes in the top center of the heart.
Fill the heart with candy.
Use a piece of string to tie up the heart through the holes.
Happy Valentine’s Day! ;)

Are you ready for Halloween or have you been procrastinating like me?
We’ll be out of town over Halloween, so I’m not decorating much around our home this year anyways, but I couldn’t go without decorating just a little and created some freebies: Halloween bunting and mini flags printables.
I’m not big into the scary side of Halloween, but I do like some cute Halloween crafts, costumes and of course candy! ;) What are you doing for Halloween this year?Happy Halloween!!
