I've always loved illustrations (Illustration was actually my major in college for awhile) and then if you add in the extra goodness of being vintage---it's like two of my favorite worlds collide. Which brings me to this project: Framed Vintage Illustrations. It's the easiest project ever. All you need is a an old book with awesome illustrations and some frames.

$5 Christmas—Felt Bow Jewelry
Hannie wanted to make some gifts for her friends and we needed some gifts for some tween and teen cousins, so we sat down one afternoon and made a couple of presents. Felt bow rings for Hannie's friends and a necklace and ring set for the cousins.
