Yarn Wrapped Gourds

Yesterday, I showed some amazing yarn pumpkins and today I have to show off these spectacular yarn-wrapped gourds!!!!!! I'm in awe of these! Look at the spirals on that pumpkin! And the colors and designs of the other gourds!!!! Wow! Two Shades of Pink walks you through how to make these fabulous fall decor items.

Yarn Pumpkins

How cool are these yarn pumpkins from Everything Under the Moon? They are exquisite! I love how they are made and the yarn that was used. They are perfect!!!

Sisal Ball Hanging Light and Yarn Balls

Too Much Time On My Hands created this sisal ball hanging lamp with materials she had on hand. Need an inexpensive light fixture? This may be it!

Or perhaps you like the look, but don't want it for a light. You can make some yarn balls to put in a basket, place on a shelf or hang smaller balls from the ceiling for decor. See how these were made at Key To Flow.

You gotta love paper mache!!!!

Some Beautiful Highlights!

Here are just a few of the really cool projects I liked at today's party. I plan on posting a few more another day! Hope you like them!

Make a chevron print out of yarn like Tattered and Inked did. It will add some texture and variety to the print! I think it looks very cool.

I love all things bandana so this bandana skirt caught my eye! What a fun twirl skirt for a little girl. Sun Scholars has the tutorial.

This shirt with a bow in the back is so cute! Usually it is the front of the shirt that is embellished, but I'm loving this idea from Inspiration and Realisation.

Belts are "in" right now and this ribbon belt is "hot." The ribbon and the fabric flowers are darling, not to mention the colors! See how to make this at Love City!

Here is another great belt to add to your wardrobe! Not only is this elastic rosette belt super stylish, it is SUPER easy to make! I think you could make 5 or 6 in one hour. See how at Suburbs Mama!

Don't you wish you could wear a cute nursing shirt after a baby comes? Well, I Make Stuff has come up with not only a cute nursing shirt, but a drop-dead gorgeous ruffly nursing shirt. You've got to see how to make one for yourself.

Turn some old (or new molding) into a fun sign. Don't you love the colors, words and "essence" of this baseboard sign at Craftberry Bush! Beautiful!!!

String Art Trees

These string art trees would be fun to make at home with the kids! Lots of string/yarn and some pushpins! How would you decorate it? Get the details at Re-Nest.

Yarn and Sham-wow Carrots

With Spring and Easter around the corner, it is time for carrots to pop up around craft land. I love crafty carrots and I'm not sure why! Take a look at these darling yarn carrots from Homework. Much too cute!!!

. I also love what Sassy Style Redesign did with Sham-wows she bought at the dollar store. She sewed them into carrots too! (Then she embellished them and put them on a wreath!)

Check out the sham-wow carrots.
