Cabin Fever Projects

Yikes! What a winter it has been so far. It seems like we have a snow event every few days. Our last one started as snow and then changed to sleet making every surface an icy mess. When that happens, I stay put and get crafty in my studio.

Here are a few of my favorite projects, perfect for when the weather gets feisty and you have to remain indoors.

If you have an old globe that has seen better days, use it as the canvas for this worldly art project. View my tutorial at this link: Altered art globe.

Pennant banners are easy to make. All you need is a little fabric, rick-rack trim, a sewing machine and an iron. View my tutorial at this link: Itty bitty pennant banner.

Make your own tack board out of an old picture frame, vintage bark cloth, a few squares of cork and a chunk of foam core. View my tutorial at this link: Handmade tack board.

This vintage bin once stored bread and produce in the 1940s pantry. I brought mine back to life with a fresh coat of paint. View my tutorial at this link: Refurbished vegetable bin.

If you are a button collector like me, give a button bouquet a try. Then place your creation in a vintage salt shaker. View my tutorial at this link: Button bouquet.

There you go — five projects to keep you busy this winter when cabin fever sets in!

Susan would you believe we have had snow 3 times in 3 weeks. I promise I am way down South. LOL. We got it for the third time today and I couldn't believe it. My youngest daughter called and told me it was snowing. I thought she had lost it. LOL. This is so weird for us who never gets snow but maybe every 7 to 8 years. We did get sleet with the first snow and it was bad. They closed schools, bridges and roads. Today it was mostly just snow but didn't stay long, thank goodness it all melted pretty fast. I have been crocheting around pillowcases and crocheting boot cuffs. I never get bored there is always a some kind of project to do. You have some really good ones listed here. I did make the button flowers and gave them away as birthday presents. I sure hope the weather gets better up there for you.
