This is another one from my Wearable Worlds series of headbands (Doomsayer Headband here). This one features two zombies on a bench, with a bloodied arm next to them.

Mini Plant Hanger
As an adult american in 2017, I love hanging plants. I would love to hone my macramé skills-add interesting knots, maybe beads. But what if I invest an entire afternoon to learning a skill, only to have the trend die the next day? This is a great craft for the risk adverse.
I followed these instructions:
I found that if you continue the knots above the planter (as the Free People tutorial shows) it squeezes the plant a little too much. Having the knots top out at the widest part of the planter gives the plant a little breathing room.

Embroidered Christmas Cards
I google imaged clip art pine trees until I found a nice full one to print on heavy weight paper for this craft. This is a neat little craft: it’s quick, creative, and doesn’t make a mess. Also, I think it’s nice enough to supplement a-not-so-expensive gift, but that might be a matter of taste.
If you would like to try this craft yourself, I recommend punching holes in the paper with a needle before actually sewing the thread through. Lay the paper on top of corrugated cardboard and stick with the needle for your needed design, like you are setting up a connect the dots. This will make it easier not to accidentally bend the paper while you are forcing the threaded needle through the heavy weight paper.
