Steampunk Junk Hat and Bracelet


Finally, I am getting a chance to get this out. I have been trying to finish this project all week and now I can say it is done. Haunted Design House has a Steampunk Junk challenge going on. To be honest I originally was not going to do this challenge because I am not familiar with Steampunk, but that made it all the more interesting for me to try this challenge.

So I had all of these items on hand and they were just waiting to be made into something:





I used these items to create my Steampunk Junk Hat and Bracelette:

  • large coffee can
  • lid from ice cream bucket
  • outside case to the First Aid waterproof adhesive tape
  • Antique Gold spray paint
  • Brown spray paint
  • white lace (that I stained with coffee and tea)
  • metal keys (Michael's)
  • metal buttons (I had in my stash)
  • paper flower (Michael's)
  • black velvet ribbon
  • metal bits (Michael's)
  • brads

The Bracelet:



The Hat:



 And here is me wearing the hat and bracelet:


I am entering my Steampunk Junk Hat and Bracelet into the following challenge and linky party:
After all that, I really enjoyed this challenge and I can now say I learned what Steampunk is and I have to say, I like it!!! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my project.

Snowman Hat



So if you read my other post about how I long for the wonders of Winter then you can understand that I love making crafts for Winter...especially snowmen related!

I knew right away I had all of what I needed on hand to create my Snowman Hat. I spray painted a large coffee can and a piece of ply wood cut into a circle with black spray paint. I hot glued the coffee can to the wood. I then wrapped blue snowflake ribbon around the base of the coffee can. I then realized I had some icicle garland with my Winter decorations. I wrapped and super glued the icicle garland around the top of the coffee can. I then sprayed some spray adhesive to the top and brim of the hat and then sprinkled some buffalo snowflakes on it. Then I painted the edges of a pine cone and a portion of a gold berry pick with white craft paint. I also added some iridescent glitter to the berries. I pulled the holly leaves from another pick and attached them, the berries, pine cone and a large snowflake ornament to the hat. Lastly I super glued iridescent sequins and snowflakes around the entire hat.

This was a super easy and fun project and it will make an excellent addition to my growing Winter decorations. I'm so glad I saved those coffee cans...I wonder what I will do with the others?

I will be entering my Snowman Hat in the following challenges:

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my Snowman Hat.
