Every so often I come across a site and think to myself, "How have I not seen this great blog before?!" Such is the case with the blog I want to feature today. Please meet Kelli...
Kelli is one of the creative twin sisters blogging at Lolly Jane Boutique.
Lolly Jane was started years ago for the 2 sister's vinyl lettering business, but has recently taken a different turn and now showcases so much more! Its one creative site chalk full of fun ideas!
I met Kelli at The AZ Tour de Thrift last month and I wish we could have chatted just a bit more!
When I got from that event, I went to her site and spent the next few hours browsing and bookmarking ideas to feature. Here are some of the projects I fell in love with from Lolly Jane:
A simple 12x12 frame with some cute vinyl in the lower letf corner, tied up with a bow & given as a great gift for a graduate!
A cute place to display quotes, pictures or other items that inspire you.
A simple, yet DARLING, baby shower gift!
Made by painting over an old canvas- I LOVE THIS!
This entire project only cost $3.46! I want one!
And the last project from Lolly Jane I want to share is so neat!
I decided to feature the entire tutorial- soda lovers, you will now have something to make over the weekend.
Look at this bracelet made from Soda Pop Tabs!!!
Supplies:
20-25 tabs depending on your wrist size.
Twine, ribbon, string or elastic to hold the tabs together.
Scissors.
{Step 1-4 shown below}
Step 1: Measure 30" of ribbon.
Step 2: Loop ribbon through center of tab #1.
Step 3: Hold tab #2 UNDER tab #1 with backsides facing each other {the smooth side will be against your wrist so you don't scratch yourself when you're wearing it.}
Step 4: Thread cord from tab #1 UNDER tab #2, keeping the top ribbon in the top hole & the bottom ribbon in the bottom hole.
{Step 5-6 shown below}
Step 5: Bring the ribbons back through tab #1, keeping the top ribbon in the top hole still & the bottom ribbon in the bottom hole.
Step 6: Criss cross the ribbons, threading the top ribbon through the bottom hole in tab #3 and threading the bottom ribbon through the top hole in tab #3.
*Repeat this technique until you're at your desired bracelet length. When I used elastic I was able to just tie a knot to finish it off. If you're using ribbon you can tie it in a big bow at the end on the outside of the new bracelet.*
After your new eco-friendly bracelet is complete, change it out with rosettes, flowers, etc.

How fun is that?!?
For even more creative inspiration, please visit Lolly Jane Boutique and tell those crafty sisters Steph said "hi!"
The pop top bracelet - I've never seen anything like it, but I like it. Especially the one with the pink flower. I may have to try and create a dry erase frame too. It gives a new spin to a boring board. :o)
