Race Bib Holder

My Best Friend Jess birthday was coming up and I need to come up with something to make her. Well she has taken up running so I wanted to make something to encourage her. I started like I always to turn to GOOGLE!! I looked up gifts for runners and I found these awesome race bib holder. Woot I can make one of them!! Ok I know what you are thinking … what the Heck is a race bib?! Well you know the numbers that runners wear in a race? That’s a bib.

Materials:

11x14 wood plaques
Craft paint
Stencils
Print out words
C hooks
Picture hangers


Decorate the plaque how ever you like but know that most of it will be hiding behind the bibs so if you were going to use 3d elements don’t place them there. Most bibs are 8w x 6h but there are longer ones so leave some extra room at the bottom.

Add the hangers in the back before you add the c hooks TRUST ME it’s a lot easier that way!

If you are wondering what the row of C hooks at the bottom are for it’s for the metals they will win or get for participating in a run.

I gave it to her yesterday and she loved it…..  YAY!!! She was wondering what she was going to do with the bibs cause she sees her brothers running bibs all over the house and she didn’t want to have them all over.

See ya next time!

Diy Yarn Swift

I just ordered some yarn from Knit Picks and I am so happy! BUT there is one small problem. I don’t have a yarn swift to wind up this yummy yarn! I have the ball winder but no swift what’s a girl to do…….    MAKE ONE!!!!

I found some things online about diy swifts but I didn’t have any of the things that they used like Tinker toys or K’nexs. I looked around my house and didn’t come up with any thing. *sigh* I have almost given in to ordering one but I just couldn’t spend that money just yet.

I had to stop at the dollar store to pick up some other things and eureka!! I found it!!! I picked up 2 hook racks and 2 packs of clamps. I knew that I had a cake decorating stand that I would use as a lazy Susan to make this thing spin.

So here is how to make a 1min $4 dollar swift

Open the racks all the way up and clamp them down to the cake stand in a x form and your done!!!

Add yarn and spin way!!

The swift can move faster then the video. I don’t know why its moving so slow.






Thanks for stopping by!!
