We asked our community to share their recent crafting projects with us in our Crafter’s Wednesday Challenge hosted on our Facebook page, and the response was amazing! We saw a wide mix of summer projects; everything from embroidery designs, to porch signs and glass engravings.
Check out some of our community’s projects to get inspired yourself!
Porch bench
This was a popular one. I painted it with Yesteryear Gray Chalk Paint, then Willow Mist Chalk Paint, then waxed and distressed it. It was a beautiful shade when I finished. – Pamela
Embroidery design
This was my first time doing embroidery! It was a pre-made kit, but I was only supposed to do a few stitches (such as the rainbow, outline and flowers) and I went hog wild and filled the whole thing out. Since it was using variations of only straight, back and french knot stitch, it was great beginner project. I learned so much and a new passion, can’t wait to learn more stitches! – Lorna
Teacher appreciation design
Made this for my daughter’s classroom Ed Tech after she saw the one I gave to the teacher – she wanted me to make her one for her daughter’s teacher! This one came out better than the original! The blue polka dot background paper made the paper flowers POP! – Heather
Signs with vector designs
We stay busy with these! Love when I can incorporate fun vectors in the designs – Missy
Baby shirts with personalized prints
I made some shirts with prints for my baby girl. – Jeanne
Cardstock design
I am fairly new and have only had my SnC (Scan and Cut machine) for a couple of months. So far I’ve created a lot of stuff with cardstock. But I am learning there is so much more. This is my latest. For Mothers Day. – Donna
Wood signs
I make wood signs, and nearly every single one of them is made using a Creative Fabrica font and/or graphic. I am so happy I found your site, I couldn’t do what I do without you! – Teri
Wedding table decoration
I did these table numbers for my daughter’s wedding. A bit of a challenge getting the right size of the ‘o’ next to the ‘N’, and some of the numbers had to be altered to look right. – Ann
Felt Flowers
I just got hooked on felt flowers. Here are my kids teacher gifts and a few baby gifts. – Ashley
Bucket lights
I created these bucket lights that flash different colors. These are awesome for a bit of extra lighting, conversation piece, extra seating, and storage for small toys. I make tons of these to use for camping, pool, hot tub, patio etc. – Sheila
Autism Awareness T-shirt print
My shirt for Autism Awareness month. The layers of the design almost drove me crazy, but I got her done. – Georgia
Sublimation printed t-shirt design
This daddysaurus t-shirt for Father’s Day is sublimation printed made with my goddaughter’s handprints for the dinosaur spikes and her big sister’s colouring-in of my dinosaur. They loved making it and their dad will definitely feel Roar-some knowing his girls created something so special for him. – Laura
Night light birth stats block
I made a night light birth stats block for my niece. – Kristin
Door mat with personal print
I used my Cricut to create a stencil using fonts from Creative Fabrica, and the freezer paper method. Pressed it with heat, then sprayed it with Black Flex Seal. Super easy and a lot of fun! – Terran
Bread box design with farm design
I repurposed my old oak Bread box. – Karen
Wood cutting
Summer is my time to break out the power tools and do some wood cutting. Cut, paint than seal and it is ready to hang. – LeeAnn
Wall Hang on canvas
I used this cut file Home is where you herd is to make this wall hang from canvas, wood & paint. This is one that gets lots of compliments. – Jessica
Birthday design: Hat, bow and shirt
A matching shirt, bow, and party hats all for my baby girls 2nd birthday. – Kayleigh
Kitchen towel prints
I used HTV cut by cricut and the word ‘Sweet’ was handwritten by me. The text ‘Home’ is written with the Inflatable Flamingo font. – Carissa
