Craft Along with GIY: May 2017


During May, I will work on a craft project for the monthly theme. Around May 29, I will post my completed project. You can share a link to your project on that post or at any time during the month on this post. On May 31, I will compile the links on the Craft Along with GIY page.

To participate:
1.  If you're a blogger, add the Craft Along with GIY icon to your post. Link the icon to this page:
http://gothityourself.blogspot.com/p/craft-along-with-giy.html

2.  On either this theme announcement post or my completed project post, leave a comment with a link to your project. You can link to your blog, webpage, Instagram, or anywhere else readers can see it.

Your project can be big or small. It can be in any style, goth or otherwise. The fun is in the crafting! :)

The theme for May is Repurpose. Turn one thing into another thing...

  • turn a dress into a skirt
  • turn a broken necklace into earrings
  • turn a book into wall art
  • turn a cookie sheet into a magnetic memo board

or use something for a different purpose.

  • use a candle holder as a vase
  • use ice cube trays to organize jewelry
  • use a soup can to hold paintbrushes

  1. Hmm, gotta see what I can dig up and re-purpose. Considering that most of my stuff is in storage, this one is going to be hard.

  4. Atually turned a singleton earring I had into a pendant on a chain maille necklace I made last summer. Turned out ok, but I'm thinking of re-doing it some to make it better. Mostly, I want to make the links all one color, put a different chain/clasp on, and make sure the links are actually all closed completely. Here's a post I did on it and a chainmaille bracelet a coworker wants a larger version of.
