It’s almost Super Saturday again!
Super Saturday is my favorite crafting event and it is coming up in just 2 short weeks. Last year I posted what crafts we did for our local Super Saturday and I figured that I would do the same this year. Uggh. I just realized that in that post I had promised a tutorial for the Scarecrow/Snowman craft that I made and I totally did not do that! Shame on me! I will do that very soon. This time I really mean it! Promise!
***UPDATE: Here is the tutorial***
To decide on which crafts to make, I consulted my two Pinterest Super Saturday boards: Super Saturday Craft Day Ideas and my group board, Super SUPER SATURDAY Craft Ideas. You should check these boards (my other boards too!) out for some awesome, awesome crafting ideas. (I will link below to show the original crafts that I copied for this Super Saturday activity)
Now, on to this year’s Super Saturday crafts:
This first craft is what I will call a Ponderize Board. The thought is that you take scripture verses or other quotes that you want to incorporate into your life and you print it up in cool fonts and post it on this board where everyone can see it often. It can just be a nice thought to ponder or you can try to memorize, hence the name, Ponderize. The great part is that you can easily change your chosen verse or quote, maybe change it out every week or month. Or, keep it up forever.
Next craft is a cute Picture Display Board. I cut the rounded long edges off of 2 x 6 lumber so it can easily sit on a shelf, countertop, table, etc. and not fall over. Tiny clothespins are hot glued in place to hold the pics. The lettering is vinyl, (Café Rojo font) and I just used a stencil to add a little detail.
This Quart Jar Kleenex Dispenser turned out so cute! Let’s face it, Kleenex boxes- no matter how stylish the print is- are really not that attractive. To get this look, I first painted the jar with a dark color, then added a heavy coat of white chalk paint and sanded a bit to get the distressed look and to highlight the raised lettering. You can click the “DIY Mason Jar Tissue Holder” link below for the tutorial on how to get the dispenser to work correctly. This decorative jar is a really fun way to keep Kleenex’s handy:
We will also be offering this O Holy Night Banner. I was hoping to be able to download the banner letters directly from the site that I got the idea from, but the link wasn’t working. I created my own version and had my local print shop print it up on cardstock. If you want to print up your own set, here is the link for my version of the O Holy Night banner. The top and sides of each page just need to be trimmed off (I removed the song title), the bottom cut into this banner-like shape and string added. Easy peasy!
I’m sure that these Microwaveable Neck Warmers will be a Super Saturday hit. They make fabulous gifts! Look here for my tutorial.
Lastly, during Super Saturday, we are going to do a demonstration to show just how easy it is to make a Square Wreath. (Here is the tutorial.)
Here are the images that inspired some of our Super Saturday craft choices:
Kudos to these awesome crafters!
Yep, Super Saturday is going to be awesome!
And, there you have it! Our 2016 Super Saturday crafts. What do you think?
Do you participate in a get-ready-for-the-holidays crafting event? I would love to see what you are making! Please send pics! Maybe we will do them for Super Saturday 2017!
