The Crafty Chica DIY Project Library: a collection of fabulous handmade ideas by Kathy Cano-Murillo, the Crafty Chica! Monday, December 12, 2005Felt Flower Hat  This is a great project if you want to cheat a little, but still make something by hand. Buy a scarf or a hat and then make a felt flower and sew it on! You can also use the felt flowers to sew onto a pair of socks, a handbag, a sweater, a journal, etc. I love the concept of buying something and then embellishing it. It's kinda like going to the bakery and buying two dozen cupcakes unfrosted - that way you can put all your time into decorating them! I often look for items with smooth surfaces that I can paint or decoupage on. That way it is still one-of-a-kind but it won't kill you time wise to add a handmade touch! * By Kathy Cano Murillo, copyright 2005.

I'm a mom, wife, artist, author & left-handed middle-child binge crafter Sagittarian. We have 4 Chihuahuas. I have my own product line coming out this summer. I write a weekly nationally syndicated craft column for The Arizona Republic. My 7th craft book comes out next year, as well as my first novel. I make a line of Chicano Pop Art with my hubby and we have sold it all over the country since 1990.   Note to visitors: Hola! This site is the archive of all my past projects for Gannett News Service and The Arizona Republic. These ideas are for personal use only. I make a living as a craft designer, so I will be using these ideas in my published works. If you are thinking of selling or using these ideas for profit, please give respect and "twist" them to make them your own - put your own stamp on them to make them different. It will work out for the best for both of us! Thank you and much respect from one creative person to another! — Kathy Have a burning crafty question? Visit my Ask Crafty Chica blog or drop me a line!
