Duct Tape Crafts By Ella

Looks like the future of White Elephant Creations is in good hands. Our daughter has started fixing up old notebooks and making small accessories using the ends of patterned and colored duct tape rolls. She has even started selling some to her friends for nickels and dimes and giving money to charity. Here are some of her latest creations…a notebook cover and a change purse.

DIY Vinyl Record Clock

Check out this easy to make colorful vinyl record wall clock that we made for our daughter’s bedroom. Using a 78 record, we attached the numbers and clock hardware from a kit we purchased at the craft store (or you can reuse one from an old wall clock). We had to drill the hole in the record a little bit to fit the hardware and then used some legos to help reinforce the battery casing in the back. A simple project with fun results.

 

 

 

 



DIY Christmas Bows

After growing tired of our store bought Christmas bows falling apart each year, Faith decided to make her own this year with a roll of ribbon that she picked up. After making the bows, she tied the bows to cuttings from our Christmas tree, and I helped put up on the shutters to our cabin with a staple gun. We love getting to use nature to help decorate for Christmas.
