Welcome to The Robin's Nest/Helmar Blog Hop!!


After all this weather in the east...it's time for some inspiring craft projects!

I have been enjoying Dew Drops from The Robin's Nest.
Winter Retreat has been my best go-to color combo.
Love it!!

A benefit of being a crafter is that you can create personalized gifts for those you care about.
With the holidays around the corner, there always seems to be a crunch in your cash flow, right?
So, I found an inexpensive cuff bracelet at the craft store...just waiting to be embellished!
Silver, sleek...and perfect for my 12 year old DD's Christmas gift!  
(Hey, if I don't keep it hidden from her, she is going to claim it as her own anyways!!)


To adhere the Dew Drops, I used Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.
It does dry quickly...but there is wiggle room to play with the placement if you add the adhesive to small areas at a time.  For this project, I started in the middle of the cuff and worked my way towards the outsides.




Model:  Little brother. 
Let's just hope  he can keep the secret from his big sis!

It's your turn to Thippity thump thunp down the frosty blog hop trail
I am sure you'll enjoy the festive ideas from The Robin's Nest and Helmar's Designers!
Be sure to post a comment on each blog to be entered into the drawings.
Hundreds of dollars worth of prizes...and yes, YOU deserve some of this holiday cheer!

There is one lucky winner drawing from EACH post!!
