Getting Crafty with Fashion Art Projects from Walmart

When it comes to gifts, I go the DIY route almost every time.  There’s something very personal and meaningful about getting a handmade gift that you just can’t have with something like a dvd or a tie.  I’ve always got room for more crafting supplies around here, and I’ve been in need of some anyway, so when Walmart gave me the opportunity to try out a variety of their Fashion Art Project supplies I jumped at the chance.

I’ve been wanting to give my Grandmother something nice for a while now, she’s such a wonderful lady, and a store bought gift seemed too impersonal.  I decided to use my new supplies to make a backpack to keep her ukulele music in.  My kit came with everything I needed and more. When I was done my husband stenciled a shirt for Judah and we still had enough left for three or four more projects!

Here’s what I got:
-Two packs of iron on letters
-One sheet of iron on rhinestone designs
-One set of stencils (3 sheets, misc. designs)
-One canvas backpack
-One set of fabric patches
-Three pack fabric stencil spray

Now on to my first project.  (Please note that while these are great to do with your kids, use caution when working with the iron!)  I started by cutting out everything I wanted to use and arranging it how I wanted on the backpack.  I also took a picture of the layout so I could use it for reference.    

Don’t mind the pink spots, I had an accident with the spray paint.  (That’s what I get for not following directions!)

Here’s project #2.  This one was extremely easy, and it’s perfect for kids.  I won’t bore you with my step-by-step here, the pictures are pretty self explanatory.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
