Pack Rat Magazine ‘08: Road to the White House

Hello my little chickadees. Oh. Chickadees. What a funny little coincidence that I should happen to refer to you as a type of bird, when today’s item du jour is the fabulous stationary by Joom which is full of birds. Funny indeed. I’m not really sure why indie crafters are so big on birds. Maybe it’s some kind of symbolism, maybe it’s a throw back to the nature crafts of yore. Beats me. But I love the geometric little guys on these cards, especially when paired with oh-so-mod polka dots and circles. And at $7 for a set of 3, I can afford to mix and match.

Pack Rat Magazine, always the bride’s maid, never the bride

We’re still a few months out until the wedding season is in full swing, but here’s a fantastic contest that will inspire any crafter, regardless of maritial intentions.  Cheap Chic Weddings has sponsored a contest for the last three years, asking contestants to make a wedding dress out of toilet paper.  The most original design wins $500 and is manufactured (with fabric, of course) by one of the website’s sponsors.  This last year’s winner, Hannah Kim, blew me away! Look at the detailing she did.  How did she not tear everything to shreds, let alone make pleats?  Here are some of the top contenders for you to ohh and ahh over.

Pack Rat Magazine a day keeps the creative block away.

Here’s a sharp, helpful paper project for you guys. I dropped in on Paper Source and found a handy how-to section. I thought this project for an envelope book looked like just the thing to corral the paper clutter that is my life. Even better, it is a cheap, easy craft to keep my hands and my imagination busy. I’m thinking that this might make a nice Valentine’s Day gift too, if you filled each envelope with a little love note or forget-me-not.

Well, I appologize in advance if this video doesn’t work. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s functional and what’s not as I’m writing the blog. Anywho, this is a quick little tutorial on how to make your own little “transformer” type toy out of paper. While it doesn’t look anything like the famous Saturday morning cartoon of the same name, it is quite clever and would probably keep me entertained for a few hours.

Not a whole lot to say about this, except how freaking awesome is this?

Hello all you bright and shiny faces out there!  We are in the midst of Hannuka and soon Christmas will be upon us as well.  If you love the warm glow of the holidays, take a gander at this lovely Christmas tree craft a friend sent me today.  It’s made out of an old paperback book, and it is delightful.  Plus, it’s a recycle craft.  Keep those smutty romance novels you read out of the landfills by making them a part of your yearly tradition.

I came across an adorable jewelry tutorial yesterday and I am super excited to share it with you guys. Origami tulip earrings. I know right–how freaking cute? The tutorial is available at Finger Magic, and there are other tutorials there too, like how to make cards and stationary that sport your favorite origami images, like bamboo and this super cute jacket (they have it as part of a baby shower card, but you could probably use it on any kind of card, its so sweet). Plus, if you’re in the market to buy some jewelry (and really, when am I not?) they have these unique origami pendents that have been folded out of a single sheet of silver. Get F-ing out, right? Well check it all out below.
