Our Grand Finale!

By Lindsey Riley, Britny Burton, Mallory Jordan, and Mandy Whitaker (The Current Craft Staff)

With the fall semester at Ball State coming to an end, our blog will also be ending. We enjoyed sharing craft ideas and news with you and hope that you found our information useful and entertaining.

For our final post, we got together at Britny's house and made some gifts for our classmates from the sports blog Around the Huddle. We decided to make them decorative sports balls (a football and a few soccer ones). And to make sure all of us got to do one, we made an extra one to give to our professor.

What we did was go to our local Dollar Store and purchased the sports balls. They ranged between $1-3. Afterwards, we went to Hobby Lobby to purchase various sequences, hot glue guns, paint, and other elements to decorate them.

After getting our goods, we went to Britny's and got our crafting on! We decorated them however we wished, making all of them different from each other.

We had a great time together crafting and watching ABC Family's "25 Days of Christmas." Once we finished, we wrapped them up in various wrapping and tissue paper.

Let the gift giving season begin!

Pinterest Party!

By Lindsey Riley (The Crafting Challenged Blogger)

Hello everybody! Let's get the crafting ideas flowing so that this weekend, you can start making those holiday presents.
Last weekend, I went to Indianapolis with my friend Ashley to stay at her house and get away from the craziness of college for a few days. Her mom, a very sweet and avid crafter, planned a Pinterest party for this same weekend. She wanted members of her family and their friends to come together, relax, and have fun creating those projects that they never had the time to do.

Everything at this party was inspired by Pinterest. She made dishes that she found through Pinterest and planned a few crafts for everyone to do together that she found on Pinterest. Here are a few photos of what I made and links to instructions and recipes on how to make the crafts and food.

Let's inspire each other: What Pinterest craft do you want to make but don't have time for? Comment below with your answer.
