Can I just thank all of the awesome crafters for letting me feature their projects on Ucreate this year? I also want to say “thank you” to my creative guests…can you believe we’ve hit 100!?  Anyone who has created a tutorial know that lots of work and effort go into taking the pictures, writing the directions, and even recreating the project, etc. etc.! THANK YOU, thank you for motivating us all to create!

#7 - Quilted Table Runner by Diary of a Quilter

Has anyone not made Amy’s table runner?! We used this tutorial for August’s Create With Me and it was so much fun! It’s a great project for a beginner and also just as fun for the advanced seamstress! It was funny because I hadn’t seen a friend for ages and we met up at a park so our kids could play and she mentioned she made two of these and that they were also making these runners for a ward activity. Super fun way to spice up a table with your favorite color theme!  Total hit this year on Ucreate!!

Want a classy, simple hair accessory for any age?!

Crafters loved the many different ways Disney spiced up plain old headbands using lots of different embellishments from buttons to ribbon, to lace, and more! Click below to see the many variations!!

Cassity turns a canvas, Mod Podge, and scrapbook paper squares into this work of art!! So gorgeous and a perfect way to customize décor in any color. This tutorial exploded around the blogosphere!!

This is one of the most adorable quilts I’ve ever seen and obviously tons of you agree!! The fabric choices, the applique, and everything about it is fabulous and unique! How darling is this little model?!

 

 

#3 – Farmhouse Doll Bed by Ana White

We all know Ana for her amazing furniture plans and you’ve probably heard of the famous “Farmhouse Bed”. Well, when she decided to replicate it into a mini doll size most of us were crazy about it!! Such a personal gift and a perfect way to put a smile on any little girls face!

 

 

#2 - Ruffle Shirt Makeover by Tea Rose Home

I remember when I very first saw this tutorial and fell in love with it. Sachiko is known for her romantic vintage style and her many t-shirt makeovers. This tutorial covers two 2010 trends: ruffles & rosettes. Actually three trends because t-shirt refashions were also huge this year! Simply. Beautiful.

Many people wanted to copy Sausha and frame their bathroom mirrors after seeing her fabulous makeovers and tutorial {myself included} ! It even became July’s Create With Me project by popular demand as shown in a survey!! The mirrors looked amazing and the updates were truly inspiring!

Sausha was so awesome for showing the three different versions and ways you can customize the molding to your own mirrors!

Make sure to stop by Show & Tell and congratulate her!! While you’re there, check out her laundry room makeover. Trust me.
