Cassie's Creative Crafts

Hello again, I want to share with you a fantastic find that I came across the other day. I found this miniature fish tank at Dollar General. I couldn't believe it! It has the fish that get bigger in water. I don't have a picture of how I renovated it but I took out the weeds and the fish and placed sand in it and it doesn't leak because it was made to hold water. The lid is glued on and just the hole at the top comes open but I was able to get the lid off without breaking it and I painted the lid black and it is perfect in my house. It would look perfect with some resin and clay fish in there with a light fixture attached to the lid. It is a must bye. It was only $1. I do hope that you will find one and it make your day like it did mine! :) Here is a picture of one that I haven't yet taken out the fish or weeds or the little balls....... let me know what you think! I think it is perfect!

Ok, so I finally got to take some pictures of the miniature paint bottles that I am making for my craft room and the pictures came out a bit blurry. I'm so in need of a light setup so that I can take good pictures of my minis so they don't come out blurry. I have macro on my camera but I think it is the lighting. Does anyone have any ideas or an easy way to make a light box setup? Here are the pictures of the paint bottle. I am making more colors but I thought I would include this one for now.  I used another paint label that I made and if you like that one (has ceramcoat on it) I can get it for you. Just let me know. The glue bottle I made out of clay and I am currently making a label for it and will post it soon. I just included it for picture reasons. Let me know what you think.....

Hello, I thought I would let you know that later tonight, I will be posting some pictures of a paint bottle I made to go along with my craft room in my dollhouse. I think it looks great and I used one of the labels I made. One thing to keep in mind, print the label out on thin paper because thicker paper looks too bulky on the small bottle. I also made some crayons as well and I need to make labels/wrappers to go over the crayons. Cassie

Ok, here are the pictures of the pencils and notebook I made that are similar to the coloring book covers I made. I hope you enjoy. If you have any questions, please ask.                                                                                                                       Enjoy!    Cassie Wilbanks at

Hello again, I wanted to share with you a couple of things I made to go along with my craft room for my dollhouse. I designed the cover and back cover of the book and edited the fairy pictures I found on the internet. I found them on coloring page websites. The colored pencils I made from hand too and I hope you like them. If anyone would like the cover template, let me know because I would be glad to share. The name of the coloring book is my logo (of course)- "Fairy Dreams & Mini Things-by Cassie Wilbanks". I do hope that if you are finding my blog useful then please take the time to sign up and follow me. Also, please use the info for personal use only. I also don't claim to make things perfect and I know everything has its flaws but I do this for pleasure and if it starts getting to the point of nitpicking then it wouldn't be fun anymore. I do hope you will continue to find my blog of some use and please if you have any suggestions, don't ...

TUTORIAL ON OOAK DOLL EYES (GLASSY LOOK) I am trying to develop my own website and I was going to put this tutorial on my new website but I figured I would just get it out there and go from there. I have researched all of the eye tutorials on the web and they are all wonderful and I have tailored it to what works best for me. This is a WIP/tutorial. This is my VERY first tutorial, so I hope I do things right. I understand this may not work for everyone. If you have any ideas or advice, please let me know. I will try to include where I get certain products (incase you would like to know). Here are most of the supplies I use: I have rub-on decal paper with adhesive white cernit clay Aleene's tack it, over and over glue tweezers heat gun note card baby powder whole punch cutters lisa pavelka's "magic-gloss" lisa pavelka's fluorescent light (can use any type or brand as long as it is a 9 watt UV light) eye sizers that I g...

Well, I have been working hard at making some craft supplies for my miniature craft room. Photoshop is a lovely thing! Ok, I am working on making paint bottles out of clay and I needed some half way realistic labels for the paint. I didn't find any labels on the internet and I didn't find any printables either. So I have tried to make my own. I know they aren't perfect and please don't use for profit. you can use these for your personal use only. I hope that you like them. Here is one of them. I have others but will post them later. If you do use them, please post or send me pictures of your work. I would love to see what you have done with them. here is my Americana brand.... You can adjust the size of the label to whatever size you need. Make sure to change size before you print it. I hope you like my paint label. I printed it on the thinnest paper I could find and sprayed it with a varnish or protectant and then cut it out. I will post pictures of my finishe...

Ok, my 6 year old loves venus fly traps and aside from him drawing them on every piece of paper he can get his hands on, I wanted to create something that he can make and we can possibly make a game out of it too. Here is a craft that him and I did together and then played together later. Supplies matte board red and green acrylic paint paint brush black and green card stock paper Optional-Aleenes glue tack it over and over scissors glue (I used stick glue and super glue) laquer or some kind of spray to apply over finished product to protect it from chips  I cut a large circle (as big as I wanted the trap to be) out of the matte board. I then painted one side of the circle green and let dry then painted the other side red use left over matte board to glue on a handle for the child's hand to fit into on the top of the fly trap-paint it green let everything dry- while everything is drying, using the green card stock-cut out large triangles (as large as you want the...

Ok, So I'm going to try and start making my own printies for my miniatures. It is going to be difficult because I have to scan everything and then edit it but it will pay off in the end. I want to share with you one that I have already scanned in and I am going to actually use it in my craft room. It is a colored pencil box. I hope you enjoy this. Comment or message me if you want to know the dimensions for accurate scale measurement. Once I start getting more printies, I will create a page/link at the top of my blog and put them all in the one spot. Please use for personal use only. No selling of my things, please. I work hard on editing them. Enjoy, Cassie
