Badge Reel Designs

Back to Crafting: My New Obsession with Name Badge Reels After a long break, I’ve finally returned to something that always brought me joy—crafting. Life got busy (as it does), and somewhere along the way, glue guns, rhinestones, and sketchpads were replaced with deadlines, errands, and never-ending to-do lists. But recently, I found myself craving that creative spark again.  Yes, those little retractable clips we wear at work. I used to think they were purely functional—boring, even. But now? They’re tiny canvases for creativity. Now my craft room is covered in glitter, resin molds, charms, and vinyl decals. I’ve made badge reels with funny sayings, adorable characters, floral patterns, and even ones themed for different professions. It’s become a creative outlet, a stress reliever, and—let’s be honest—a bit of an addiction. I have included a few for you. The best part? People love them. Friends, coworkers, even strangers have asked where I got mine. Some have asked me to make cus...

Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare Papercraft

Plants vs Zombies Papercraft (Gargantuar) Hello all! I wanted to share a paper craft that I made with my oldest son for his 11th birthday last weekend. He is so sweet, he said that all he wanted for his birthday was a paper craft of his favorite character from PVZ Garden Warfare, Gargantuar.  He and I searched and searched and found a fantastic designer that designs paper crafts of all kinds. Visit his deviantart site HERE . His name is Jeff and his Deviantart name is Jepi12. Not only are his designs the best I have seen but he is absolutely wonderful to work with. He responds to messages quickly and really helped to make my son's birthday the best it could be. You have got to check out his designs. He has a design for everyone! Here is the design of Gargantuar that we did and then I will show you our finished project. My boys and I made the paper craft together. Here is a picture of the Gargantuar. Click on the picture and it will take you to Jeff's site. ...

Badge Holder Reel Design

Below, you will see the badge reels. I mostly use black and white. I also make ones without the bottle cap. I just wanted to share a few designs that I made below. I do take requests and will attempt to make any design  upon request. My plan plan is to make a tutorial on how I make these so that you can make them yourself if you chose.  So look for the tutorial soon. I am making new designs and will do a tutorial soon. I make the designs with photoshop and then print them out.  #badge #badgereels #holder #badgeholder #crafts #design #digitaldesign #photoshop

Free Minecraft Chore Chart & Award System with Printables

Hello, When it comes to chores in our house, it becomes a CHORE to get them to do chores-pun intended! They would rather play Minecraft all day long or just play all day long! Not only do they NOT want to do chores but they also think they should bet a toy everyday and in-between that comes candy every time we walk into the store. I had to figure out a system to get them to do their chores and make it a bit fun too. They need to learn responsibility in this world because you have to work for what you want. Yesterday, my 10 year old says, "mom, can I have this new star wars lego toy? It only costs $99." I said, "uh, no but you can save your chore money and buy it that way." He says to me-just as serious as he could be, "all you got to do is go to the bank and take it out or write a check and get money anytime you want." um.....yeah.....it doesn't work that way. The bank does not just give you money, you have to earn it and then put it in there....

Craft Supplies Storage Idea:Fun and Cheap

I have always heard of the saying "One man's trash is another man's treasure" and when it comes to my crafts, I live by this saying. No, I promise, I am not crazy, nor do I go dumpster diving every Friday night either...hmmm...that gives me an idea, just teasing. I wanted to share with you how you can save money at the same time becoming innovative as well as green by recycling. WOW, that sounds empowering! Well, it is true! When it comes to crafts, I am constantly looking at items and trying to figure out how I could use it in my work. I love using certain items people are going to throw away to make dollhouse miniatures, various crafts with my boys, plus many more ideas. For instance, did you know that Popsicle sticks can be used in a variety of crafts as well as in the miniature world? I use them in several ways; just to name a few: dollhouse siding, dollhouse wood floor, dollhouse furniture, dollhouse wooden crate, dollhouse roof, plus so many more!!! They e...

Plants vs Zombies DIY Memory Game With Free Printable

Hello, Plants vs Zombies DIY memory game tutorial. copyright Cassie's Creative Crafts So my boys have gotten into the cell phone and xbox game, Plants vs Zombies and recently, Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare on Xbox. The Garden Warfare is completely different than the first game and has better graphics and a whole different goal to the game. Let me tell you that this game is highly addictive! I have since gotten into the Garden Warfare and it has me hooked! My husband, boys, and I are all playing this game. What is different about this one is is you can be a plant or a zombie and you control the characters and it is an open toy box world and you fight other people online in multiplayer and level up your characters on plants and zombies and you can customize them as well with various items and I LOVE IT! The only  thing I do not like is how bad it glitches. It does this constantly causing us to lose a whole game and have to sign out and back on. Plus, the loading time ...
