Washi Tape- greatest thing ever!
I just recently discovered washi tape and it was love at first craft.
So I have been using on everything!
I have used it on paper goods, glass vases, gadgets and even my nails. You probably saw it on one of my felt crafts (yes, it works on felt too)
But the very first thing I did with it was to decorate my pin box.
This was the quickest, easiest and cutest craft I've even done.
I covered to side and top of it with the black polka doted one, and with the pink striped one I made a twisty flower for the top. I did hot glue the flower on the top, just to make sure it survived my clumsy self. But the flower can stay on its own as well.

That twisty flower is super easy to make, but hard to explain, so stay tuned for an upcoming tutorial on those.
Here are some other washi tape ideas

Felt! I can't get enough of it!
The other day, had a few minuted to spare and some extra felt laying around. The result- my new owl phone case, made out of... you guest it, FELT.
I used my sewing machine for the case itself. However, I am pretty lazy when it comes to hand stitching, so I use my beloved hot glue gun for almost everything, except the buttons which I used for the the eyes and the back, to latch it close. The latch is the rubber band I took from my hair and cut and glued a piece to fit over the button.
I don't have a great step by step tutorial, but here are some links to inspire you.
