My primary creative intention for 2022 is to make what I call Flash Crafts. I'm continually bombarded with great crafting ideas. Last year, when I was in my creative slump, I completed very few projects.
Now that I'm emerging from that slump, I've decided that if I see a project that catches my attention, I will drop whatever I'm doing and make that project within five days. A Flash Craft!
Here's my first. Some Cupid's Arrows for our granddaughters.
I found this idea on the Happiness is Homemade blog. Adorable! So I gathered my supplies:
- glittery foam hearts
- red pencils
- red duct tape
- a wooden heart shape
I used the wooden heart shape to cut smaller hearts from the big ones I had on hand. I used hot glue to adhere the two sides of the hearts together, leaving a hole at the top of the heart shape.
Figuring out how to make the duct tape "feathers" was a little tricky. Mine didn't come out the same, but that's OK.
I sharpened the pencils because they fit into the point of the arrow better.
All in all, it took less than two hours from seeing the idea to having a finished craft.
Flash!
