Royal Wedding Crafts

Before I can continue with any of this, I just need to ask a very very important question. If anyone is going to the Royal wedding will you please A. Take me with you or B. stand up and object to let Prince William know that I will be there very soon. Since that probably will never happen, here is a list of Royal Wedding related crafts.

Let’s start out with the ever-popular “Knit Your Own Royal Wedding.” It is all the rage among, knitters, dolls enthusiast and the folks who have a vested interest in this matrimony. Who wouldn’t want a miniature knitted William, Kate and the Fam to pass the time or to set up on the balcony to play royal wedding-if you’re into that.

#WINNING #tigerblood

From gossip.whyfame.com

Don’t kill me for jumping on this bandwagon.

Who can ignore Charlie Sheen and all of his #WINNINGS? Not only has Sheen made his mark in the Guness Book of World Records with a record number of a million Twitter followers in only 25 hours, but also he made enough of an impression on me to dedicate this Friday blog to him. 

This week I have been scanning the web for a rundown of #tigerblood (OK, just tiger) inspired crafts.

There is an adorable tiger inspired hat at ShanaLogic.com. It is a Crocheted Tiger Hat by fancy reygun. It is made with orange and black yarn and there were tiger ears added to it. It would not only keep anyone warm but you would look fierce.

If you want to take this to an extreme look at Disney’s Family Fun Tiger costume. With simple materials and easy step-by-step instructions, you can increase the sizes to your adult stature and be the Tiger you have always wanted to be.

For all those weird camper types out there, or anyone who wants to have a friendship bond with Charlie Sheen, a tiger print friendship bracelet is probably for you. With simple yarn and a keen eye for following a pattern you can be wearing a little tiger everyday.

From All Things Cupcake is an unbelievable replica of a tiger on a delicious cupcake. This cupcake looks like a work of art, but it most likely also extremely tasty. It maybe too adorable/realistic for me to eat (if I ever had the opportunity).

Mustache crafts for the hipsters at heart

What is the fascination with hipsters and mustaches? I’m not sure. But what I do know is that mustaches are a craft heavy search.

It may be the weather, or it may be the coffee shop I am in right, now but here we go.

The best mustache crafts for the hipsters at heart.

Let’s get this started; we have some yarn bombing. Why yes, this taking two of my favorite things, rouge knitting and guerilla art. I found that while I was looking at Craftzine.com, and who doesn’t love “yarn bombing” and lets be honest, this looks a lot better with a 'stach'. http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2010/08/yarn_bombing_mustache.htm

What is better then incorporating mustaches and cupcakes? (I guess this mustache theme is turning into mustache collaboration) From Sprinkles Bakes, my baking guilty pleasure on the web, I found these adorable guys. It says this cupcake is perfect for father’s day, but I think it is perfect for any hip occasion that warrants beautiful and delicious cupcakes.

These mustache etched glasses are another quirky and practical find. From the "Bread and Badger", they offer a fun “Mustache Lowball Glass.” From its bio it the duo hand sandblasts the designs onto the glassware.  These would make perfect gifts, or something hip to keep around a house.

From Jane of All Crafts, is an easy how-to for crafting a perfect “mustache-tic mug.”

A coffee mug with your favorite kind of mustache drawn on it These mugs are not only “ironic” but adorable, with a few simple supplies and a desire to have facial hair on your mug this would be perfect for anyone to make.
