Little Bow Hair Pins with Polymer Clay

02/13/2013

Bow Hair Pins with Polymer Clay

I've seen a lot of sweet cabochon hair pins lately, and they are super simple to make.  The thing is - you're really not limited just to flowers!  You can make your own shapes by using a bit of polymer clay!  I thought a pair of cute little bows would make for great hair pins - what do you ...

Simple Brooch-to-Headband

Brooch to Headband

Today's project is a nice simple one - just like gluing a cabochon, only bigger!  I've been buried under snow for a month here, so I have to admit - I'm thinking spring.  So a nice, spring-inspired headband seemed like a cheerful thing to work on. :) I was going through my stash looking for ...

Toddler Fashion at #CookiesKids

Toddler Clothes at #CookiesKids

So, my daughter is generally better-dressed than I am.  Granted, I'm in that awkward-in-between-regular-and-maternity-clothes phase, and she is growing like a weed and constantly getting a new outfit - but as long as I'm shopping for her, is there any harm in making her look impossibly ...

Personalized Subway Art Style Valentines

02/07/2013

Subway Art Valentine

Today's post is more of a what-I've-been-up-to than an actual tutorial.  I did make up some simple subway-art-style Valentines, so I will show those to you, but Subway art is *everywhere* and a lot of bloggers do it a lot better than me.   But these save on ink, and *I happen to think* they are ...

Wire Wrapped Agate Cuff Bracelet

Wire Wrapped Agate Cuff Bracelet

I love jewelry projects.  Seriously love them.  Especially bracelets (gee, have you noticed?? LOL).  So I tried my hand at a wire wrapped cuff, and for a first try, I'm pretty happy with it! The things is, I can't help looking at it and seeing all the room I have for improvement.  Do you do ...

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
