I just learned it’s World Labyrinth Day! Labyrinths are incredible tools and I enjoy incorporating them into my creative practice. Here’s one of my Upcycled finger labyrinths made from a vinyl record and rope from an old hammock.

Sometimes playing leads to kit making ❤️ I Upcycled 👖 to make this Finger Labyrinth Embroidery Pattern & Upcycled Denim Craft Kit. Available now in my Etsy shop or on happilyupcycled.com 😊 if you enjoy hand-stitching and are looking for your next mindful crafting project, please check it out! $25 includes shipping to anywhere in US & I’m happy to send it out as a gift from you, just check the gift box on checkout!

Playing with french knots, a denim scrap & my finger labyrinth pattern 😍

Bulk custom order being shipped this morning! I spent the weekend crafting 15 DIY Book Page Pumpkin kits & I’m thrilled with the results 😊 These craft kits were Upcycled from discarded history books & I can’t wait to see them transformed into a paper pumpkin patch 🧡❤️

I love to make paper flowers + I love making DIY craft kits, so when a dear friend gifted me a box of donated maps this is what happened 😊 I’m thrilled to share that now you can make one, too!! Read on for details or if your ready to order head on over to happilyupcycled.com

Morning walk to ship out 3 more Upcycled Postcard Kits 😊 Today is the last day to order your kit if you want to attend Postcard Party on Aug 9th 🎉 There are now 4 out of 10 tickets left. Visit happilyupcycled.com for info or follow link in my profile at @happilyupcycled

Postcard Party is happening Sunday, Aug 9th at 10am & I‘m super excited!! I’ve really missed hosting upcycling workshops these last few months, so this will be a fun way to get together & still get our craft on 😊 Postcard Party is a LIVE crafting event + DIY Craft Kit (sent to you via snail mail!). There are 7/10 tickets left & I’d love for you to join us! So, if you’d like to virtually connect and make postcards, I hope you’ll check it out!

Getting lost in the process of another work in progress ❤️

Learn to make your own #upcycled #fingerlabyrinth ❤️ Materials needed: vinyl record, rope, & hot glue. I’m still trying to figure out how to share the pattern, but many labyrinth designs are available from a simple web search and the lines on the record help guide you through the process. Once you make one, run chalk on the rope to make your own template and easily replicate the design!
