Top 9 Crafty & Creative Podcasts

I’ve been a podcast fan for a while and have listened to my fair share of shows over the years.  My show list was getting unwieldy so I recently KonMari’d it which means that I’ve pared it down to the ones that bring me joy.  When one of these shows puts out a new episode, I’m genuinely excited and can’t wait to listen to it!

This list is in alphabetical order so no favoritism can be claimed. :)

The Ribbed Bag of Many Things

The Ribbed Bag of Many Things came about as something I made up for my roommate to put her headphones and mp3 player in, but it could be used to hold just about anything!

It’s a bag knit in the round using 1 by 1 ribbing, then seamed at the bottom with whip stitch, or mattress stitch if you prefer. Eyelets at the top allow for a twisted cord or optional I-chord drawstring.

Tina Belcher inspired hat

This week’s project is inspired by one of my all-time favorite TV shows Bob’s Burgers.  My favorite character is Tina Belcher and I thought, hey why not make a hat that’s inspired by her signature hairstyle and yellow barrette?  Behold, the Tina Belcher hat!  

This project is perfect for finishing up yarn leftovers.  The hat itself takes less than one skein and the ‘barrette’ less than a few feet of yarn.  Maybe the next project will be a knit version of her t-shirt and skirt ensemble, who knows?! :-p

In this video, I'll show you how I planned in 2017 in my Moleskine weekly planner.  There are lots of layouts and spread inspiration for you to try out.  Just because you have a functional planner, it doesn’t mean you can’t make it pretty with some washi tape and stickers to give it some life.

Crochet Ombre Headband

Today’s guest post is by Chelsea from Do It Your Freaking Self where you can find lots of awesome DIY projects like crochet patterns and much more!  This is such an adorable headband and I love how the colorway really elevates a beginner’s pattern!

Ladies with the pony tails! Get at me! Okay, not really but does anyone absolutely HATE wearing hats in the winter because you keep your hair in a bun and it makes hats fit weird? Only me? Cool.

Okay, so this season I've been OBSESSED with ear warmers. I wear my Hufflepuff House Ear Warmer like it's going out of style! That all goes to say... this season - especially for a month that is all about pinks and purples, I wanted to be a little less "geek chic" and a little more festive... and when I saw this ombre yarn I about died. Hello new headband!

Washi Tip: Postcards on Wall

Do you have a stack of postcards sitting on a corner of your desk and not sure what to do with them?  If you’re like me, you have a stack on your desk and maybe on a shelf or two.  I love collecting postcards from art shows and snail mail.  Sometimes I’ll get a cute postcard with a purchase I made.  They’re all too cute to be tucked away so why not proudly display them above your wall?

Needle Felted Cookie Cutter Ornaments

Today we have a special guest writer all the way from the North Pole! Maggie from the North Pole Craft Cottage will give us a quick introduction about these adorable felt ornaments. 💛🎄

Happy holidays from the North Pole! This is Maggie the elf here, stopping by Craftic to share a festive craft with you. :)

One of my favorite crafts to create are Christmas ornaments, and these needle felted ornaments are no exception! They are easy enough to make as a last minute gift or as a family activity over the holiday break. To get started, you’ll need wool roving, small cookie cutters, needle felting needle(s), and a foam block. Once you’ve got your supplies, you can easily transform fluffy roving into a perfectly shaped ornament. Once you’ve made a few of these cuties, you may want to try your hand at little felted figurines.
