Cinco de Mayo is this Monday, which means fiestas are already in full force. For me that means friends, a few margaritas, some Tacky Glue, scrapbook paper, and glitter for what I call "Crafty de Mayo".

Here's how you do it right. Gather up some friends and have a Crafty de Mayo party! Make it like a potluck, where everyone brings a dish, one type of craft supply to share, and an iPod mix to play. Practice speaking Spanish. Trade your projects at the end of the party.

If you are in need of what the heck to make for Crafty de Mayo, I've compiled some of my favorite Mexican-themed projects.


Frida Fiesta Place Mat


Reverse Painted Candy Dishes


Mexican Calendar Art Coasters

I'll be posting new ideas here all week, but in the meantime, you can check out my stock pile of Crafty de Mayo projects by clicking here.
