I was asked to participate in a challenge from The Scribble Shop. I was sent a box of random craft supplies and asked to complete a project trying to use ALL the supplies in the box. I am happy to report I was successful! If you want to see even more scribble shop participants, check out the linky at the bottom of this post. For my project, I made a spring centerpiece...
First of all, who is The Scribble Shop? They are an online one stop shop for craft supplies. Seriously, use the search bar on their site, they have TONS of craft supplies that are all a mouse click away. It is like having a Hobby Lobby in your living room. They sent me a coupon code to share with all of YOU!
Use code CHICCOTT -- valid from March 1st until April 30th and offers you 15% off your entire order.
Onto my project....
Want to see a video of me opening my box? (And hear a southern accent?) Click the link below to see me and my helper opening the box.
My first thought when opening the box....oh boy what am I going to do with this?? In my box I had:
Additional items I also used for my project:
My first problem was I had no clue what to do with those feathers. I tackled that problem first. I finally came up with the idea for a baby chick for spring. Then the idea of a spring centerpiece took shape. First, how I made my little chick...
Okay just looking at that pic makes me say "awwww". He is ugly but in a cute way don't ya think? I used the feathers, styrofoam balls, pipe cleaners, foam sheets, and hot glue for this one.

Connect the two styrofoam balls together using a pipe cleaner and some hot glue...
I added little pipe cleaner legs to give him something to stand on....
I then COVERED him in white and yellow feathers. I cut some of the feathers into pieces, pulled some of them completely apart, and hot glued the heck out of em. I then added a foam beak and sharpie eyes.....
Next came the idea for a fence to put all of this on. I cut my foam board into fence shapes....
Then my trusty glue gun held it all together...
I added some green scrapbook paper on the bottom...
Then cause I had no clue how to properly craft with wool roving, I made "grass" with it....
I painstakingly cut the fabric into pieces. The butterflies, flowers, leaves, everything is from the fabric pack. I mod podged each piece onto the fence. This by far took the longest amount of time. I had to carefully cut each piece.
I added the brads to the centers of some of the flowers before putting them on the fence with Mod Podge...
The more pieces I cut out the more I loved this fence. The color combo is perfect for me. It is like they picked the perfect colors when the picked my box...
I still had to use the chalkboard paint and glitter plus my centerpiece needed a little something.
I made a sign out of my foam board...
Include a little leg to hold your sign up. And you guessed it....hot glue it together...
I used the glitter to make a faux wood effect on the sign "post".
Of course, the top of the sign got covered in chalkboard paint...
All in all I was successful in my project and the use of all of the materials. The most interesting part of this challenge was seeing what others made out of the exact same box of materials. You get such a wide variety.
I had a blast taking the Scribble Shop Challenge.

This is so so pretty! I love how you used the fabric on the fence. Seriously, it looks like the images were painted on. You are a fussy cutting Ninja! The wool roving makes such a lovely patch of grass (I myself have never heard of roving until this challenge) and your little chick...the Cute-E-est! Great job!
