May’s Spoonful Tribe Craft Kits

May 1, 2014 By Erica Deuel Leave a Comment

summer_craft_kitSummer is right around the corner. Can you feel it!? I know I’m aching to take homeschooling off my plate, and sit by the pool. As I tell my first grader, let’s finish strong, I am silently saying it to myself as well.

If you are like me, there are LOTS of things to look forward to this summer. For one, I hope to craft a lot and attack some projects that we have been wanting to do for a while.

I would LOVE to help kick off your summer with something for you.

May TribeToday, we open registration for our May Spoonful Tribe craft kits. These kits will teach you how to make a fun, textured vase and three pin wheels. On top of that, with my Tablespoon and Serving Spoon kit options, I will be sending you a little gift from me. This burlap “oh, happy day” banner is a great little emellishment to hang in your home all summer longer! I hung mine on my mantel.

summer_mantelThe vase and pinwheels can do much more than just hold and decorate flowers. The pinwheels would make great cake toppers and the vase can hold anything you want! I love having paintbrushes in mine.

summer_centerpieceWe are constantly trying to improve and make the Spoonful Tribe the best experience for you possible. We have found that keeping it simple helps. There’s no long term commitment. No hidden costs. Pick the kit you want, we send it to you with all the supplies included. We offer three different variations of this kit, so you can pick the best price point and size that makes sense for you. All the kits include a tutorial video where I personally walk you through how to create each craft.

pinwheel_craftDo you just want the supply list and video tutorial links? You can get that with our Teaspoon Craft Kit.

Do you want the supplies and tutorial videos to create the vase and pinwheels? You can get all this with our Tablespoon Craft Kit.

Do you want all the supplies, bonus supplies, tutorial videos, and special gift creation from me!? You can get that with our Serving Spoon Craft Kit.

There are options and we hope to help you create and imagine in an easy, FUN way! You can do these crafts! I love this little growing tribe of crafters. It is so inspiring for me to see how you take the supplies and create your own creation. Seeing your imagination come alive and your creativity in the works inspires me.

Thank you so much for all your support. If you have a friend or a “pin board” that you think would enjoy this craft, it would mean so much if you shared it!

Thank you for being the best readers ever.

Spring is here, let’s get crafting!

March 22, 2014 By Erica Deuel Leave a Comment

I don’t remember a time where spring has been more anticipated than this year!? With such a crazy winter all over the country I feel like everyone is ready for a beautiful spring season. How about you? Well, to celebrate I come bearing a crafting opportunity for you. Wait, not one, but two crafting opportunities. You know you deserve it. You’ve been cooped up all winter. Bring in the spring with some gorgeous and fun spring decor. Let’s get crafting!

My first opportunity is April’s Spoonful Tribe. For those who are new around here, that’s where we box up all the supplies you need, included with a fun tutorial video, ship it all directly to your door and work together to create some handmade crafts. This month, I’m excited to share a beautiful Spring Wreath complete with these stunning satin flowers. It’s fun, it’s stretching, and it’s something you can be proud of as you decorate your home for the season. Go to my shop to order your craft box today. As always, you have to hurry. I have a limited number of boxes and they do sell out.

spring_wreathMy second opportunity is for my local metro Atlanta readers. Or possibly a reader that needs a Spring Break Road Trip! 🙂

I’m excited to announce my next Spoonful Lab. The Spoonful Labs are live gatherings where I lead participants through a crafting party. We hang out, have lots of laughs, while creating unique crafts together. I love love love these events and the opportunity to be face to face with some of you all. I’m switching it up this time though. Rather than an evening gathering I want us to have more time together. For this Lab, we will be crafting together from 10am-3pm on Saturday, April 26th. Just like the Tribe boxes, there are VERY LIMITED seats for this Spoonful Lab. Click here to sign up today and get ready for a blast at the end of April.

March’s Spoonful Tribe is here!

February 21, 2014 By Erica Deuel 2 Comments

DIY_throw_pillowsIt is no secret that I adore throw pillows. I love the color, texture, and simplicity that they can bring to a room.

When I think of changing the feel in a room and brightening it up, throw pillows are the first thing I think of to use. They are cheap and if you learn to make them, they are even cheaper.

When we sit on our couches around here, we usually have to throw half our pillows on to the floor. There are just too many, yet I keep making them. It may be an addiction and I want to bring you in on it. 🙂

DIY_pillowsI would love to teach YOU two of my favorite techniques when creating a pillow. Here’s a secret there is NO sewing machine required! Can I hear a “YES!?!”

I will send you all the supplies to create one of these two throw pillowcases in this month’s Spoonful Tribe membership.

oh happy day throw pillow

yo yo heart pillowThe base material is a 20″ x 20″ white canvas pillowcase. Are you having hard time deciding on which one to choose!? They do look so cute together. You can get BOTH pillowcases with my Serving Spoon membership.

order your craft kitWe are constantly trying to improve and make this the best system for us and you. Keeping it simple helps. Our tribe membership will now be offered up in the shop. You can purchase the membership or kit that fits you and your needs best.

I love this little growing tribe of crafters we have. It is so inspiring to me to see how you take the supplies and create your own creation. I love how some of our members have gone totally different directions in their designs and used their supplies in ways I NEVER would have thought of. I adore that. Seeing your imagination come alive and your creativity in the works inspires me. SO, with that in mind we have a very special contest going with our members this month. You will get all the details in your kit.

Do you just want the supply list and video tutorial links? You can get that with our Teaspoon Membership.

Do you want the supplies to create the Oh, Happy Day Pillowcase or the Fun Heart Pillowcase? Those are both available with the Tablespoon Membership.

Do you want BOTH pillowcases and a special gift creation from me!? You can get that with our Serving Spoon Membership.

There are options and we hope to help you create and imagine in an easy, FUN way! You can do these crafts!

Thank you so much for all your support. You all amaze me and I am continually astonished that this is my job. If you have a friend or a “pin board” that you think would enjoy this craft, it would mean so much if you shared it! Thank you for being the best readers ever.

Love What You Do (and a giveaway!)

January 22, 2014 By Erica Deuel 13 Comments

love_what_you_doDo what you love.

God has given us all gifts and passions in our heart, and if we live out using those we are our best versions of ourselves. When we are at our best, we are best used to impact and love on others, right!?  Our gifts and passions are usually tied to our strengths. When we operate out of our strengths, we can truly be happiest as well. So, do what you love. Make time for it. If it can’t be your full-time gig at this point in time, it is still important to carve out that time for you. Everyone around you will ultimately thank you.

For me, I love to craft. Nothing new, right!? When I finish a project and get to show it to my family, you, whoever-my heart smiles. I feel like I am a better mom, wife, friend, etc. because of it. I made this simple sign last night. I will show you the steps. Please feel free to alter my design to make it your own, and stay till the end of this post for a special giveaway.

I started with a simple chip board sign I found at Hobby Lobby. You could also use wood or whatever you find. I simply used some acrylic paint and painted my sign a minty green. chip_board painted_chip_boardI then took some fabric and cut slits in the top about an inch long and an inch apart. I then ripped the fabric along each of those slits to get about one inch strips of fabric with pretty fringe on either side. how_to_rip_fabric ripped_fabricI put a dab of hot glue on the back of my sign and pressed one of the ends of a fabric strip into it. Once the glue had set, I started wrapping my first letter with my fabric strip. I was sure to leave some space between some wraps. I did not want it to seem perfect or polished. I liked how my mint green paint coordinated with my fabric and wanted to see some of it. You can certainly wrap yours tighter or more to cover all the letters evenly. I only added glue at the end of my first letter, but if you find your fabric is slipping-simply add a dab of glue here and there to hold it in place. fabric_hot_glue_project wrapping_fabricAfter I finished one letter, I cut my fabric strip. I simply did the same process one letter at a time. You could easily switch out your fabrics at this point too, if you wanted every letter to be something different. I decided to make all my letters the same. Just keep wrapping and doing each letter till you are done, and then find a fun place to hang your sign! love_sign

fun_sign_to_makeFor now, my sign is hanging in Reagan’s room. I’m sure that will change at some point though. I would love to have it in my office, once we get that room pulled together!

DIY_love_signDo you love what you do? I pray you are living our your gifts and passions too. I feel like I have a dream job, and I am so so blessed. Creating and being with my family are two of my great loves. I would love to help make creating easier for you as well. It might not be your thing, but you can carve some “me time” and try. Yesterday, I released registration for February’s Spoonful Tribe craft kits. Take a look at the three options, and order your membership today! Spoonful_Feb_tribe_craft_kitToday, I am going to also give away a box! Please let the rafflecopter widget load, and then enter in as many ways as you would like for your chance to win February’s Spoonful Tribe craft kit. I will release the winner in a post next Wednesday, January 29, 2014.
