DIY Memory Verse Tag Book


With my time off this week, I've been able to catch up on house projects, puppy cuddles and a ton of errands. I've also been cleaning, organizing my craft areas and preparing for an upcoming community market and a yard sale. At our Stuff From Trees booth in August, I'll have these adorable memory verse tags books available for purchase. If you live too far away to come buy one (or seven), here's how tto make them yourself.


Start by making a tag template with a sturdy piece of card stock. I have a tag stamp, but you can just cut out a rectangle of paper and trim two corners off.


This template is what I use to make tags out of all the smaller scraps in my collection. And yes, there are a ton of them! You'll probably find the same amount in your own paper stash, I'm guessing.


Next, just punch a small hole in the top of each one and hang a bunch of them in a book ring. I usually get 8-10 rings for a dollar at the dollar store. (Which is now actually the $1.25 store.)


Gather together a variety of colors and patterns to make a fun and inspirational memory verse book. The back of each tag will be plain and white so you can write your memory verses on it.


On one of the books, I decorated each front with a faith sticker.


On the others, I only decorated the cover, matting a word or phrase on two colors of card stock. 


And the finished product! Each of the tag books pictured here will be for sale at our show booth - I'll give you more details of time and day when I know them. In the meantime, have fun looking through your own paper collection for some fun patterns!

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet...

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee...

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit...
