Sharing again another school supply that can be used in women’s ministry. Today’s idea is simply using a ruler as a favor. This ruler is fancied up a little with some ribbon and I added a tag to it that has a Bible verse on it. This is a perfect favor for the Head of the Class Women’s Ministry Theme on the website.
But unto every one of us is given grace according
to the measure of the gift of Christ. Ephesians 4:7
The ribbons I drew up through the holes in the ruler (the ones made to hold it in a binder) and tied just simple knots. The tag ribbon is threaded through the middle hole. I made the tag with pinks to make it a little feminine.
I think these would be a fun project for a young girl’s Sunday School class too.

I’m keeping one of these rulers for myself as I’m always needing one and nobody will be able to mistake my pretty ribbon ruler as their own:)

Hello Creative Friends,
I’ve been seeing all the art made with maps around the web and on Pinterest and I’ve been wanting to do something along that line but I came to realize that maps are expensive just to do a craft with and I haven’t been able to find any old used ones anywhere. I know there’s a few scrapbook papers done in maps but I think those are too expensive as well. I just don’t think I’d do enough with it to justify my purchasing it.
My solution was to find a map/atlas book on the free bookshelf at our library. The book was old and the maps are probably so outdated that I didn’t feel bad tearing out the pages. The book was not in the best of shape.
I’ve been wanting to make myself a new weight loss journal so I started with a Composition Journal (which I normally stock up on after school starts and they mark all the school supplies down. I think I got these for 10 cents last year.)
I covered it with some of the map paper from the atlas book and some scrapbooking paper that I had. Then I embellished it a little bit. I used a Stampin’ Up! stamp set I have called, Sentimental Journey for the “Journey” and compass images.
I do better with my diet when I’m writing down what I eat and how much I exercise. Also I tend to keep track better if I have something pretty to write things down in.

Hello Creative Friends,
I thought you all might enjoy this tutorial from The Dollar Tree today. I’ve been seeing these glass projects around the web and have been wanting to try some of them myself.
I did notice that the girl uses Super Glue in the video but from what I’ve seen, the recommended glue to do these projects is E-6000 which you can get at craft stores or even Walmart. It’s made to be used on glass and is washer and dryer safe.
For my niece’s wedding, they filled the canning jar type one like on the video (which the girl on the video calls a wine glass) with candies on the tables which was cute. They had like three sizes on the tables with different candies such as M&M’s and others. Maybe even nuts. I can’t remember. I just remember they were very cute.
I think the ideas for these for Women’s Ministry events are endless. They are something if you make up, you can reuse in different ways.

Hello Creative Friends,
Sharing a thank you gift for volunteers. Wouldn’t these be fun to have for your next team member (committee – or whatever you call your helpers) meeting? Also this would be good to give as a teacher gift. This is a play on words for a Mountain Dew Bottle along with a mini size Mounds Bar. “Mounds of thanks for all you Dew”. I used a 20 oz Mountain Dew bottle.
I made a hanger for the Mountain Dew bottle out of card-stock (similar to the water bottle hanger), only for this I made the measurements 7 and 3/4 by 3 inches and scored at 2 inches at each end. Fold one end down and the other up, making a pocket on one end and punching a hole in the other end as a hanger for the bottle.
I used a 1 and 1/4 inch punch for the hanger but you can use one a little larger if you wish. Mine was snug on my Mountain Dew bottle. For the pocket I adhered the edges with sticky strip. I think this is the best adhesive for this unless you opt to use brads on the corners (example here).
I’ve made a circle printable for you. You can punch this out with a 1 and 3/4 inch punch. For mine, I edged the printable with some bright green ink I had. Thought it would give it a boost.
Important: To place in the Mounds Bar, you need to squeeze the sides of the pocket of the holder just slightly to give it a little give for it to fit inside. Squeeze gently:)
For those of you who don’t have the correct paper punch for the printable, I’ve made a square one for you.
