Austin Craft Riot craft party recap!

I had a blast at the ACR craft party today with my great friend Erin.  There were a bunch of fun projects to do and best of all, we both got free grab bags for being early birds!

There were beautiful earrings from Pretty Kiku and a funky pin with a vintage picture from FartsyArts, both from stores I love.
 There was also Spicy Gingersnap lip balm from LipGlosserie, a wooden keychain with a cute dog from Lizziebees, cool leaf earrings from GemJunkie, a funky little creature button from Bookgirl's Studio, a rad wooden strawberry from nom nom, and coupons from chocbite (yum!) and Jerry's Artarama.  A pretty sweet collection!

While there, I learned how to make an origami box using cut up maps for paper.  I picked a map with New Orleans on it, but it got lost in a fold. 

I learned how to make a fast and easy messenger bag using an old t-shirt.

The best thing, though, was getting a bag screen printed.  Say hello to "Robot VS Cowboy" (robot is winning, of course!)  My friend Erin did the same thing but made the cowboy scaring the robot away.  Mine is, of course, the correct ending.   :)

I had so much fun today.  I can't wait until the next crafty event comes around! If you like to make crafty things, like Austin Craft Riot's facebook page to get invited to future events.
