I love my crafts to be unexpected! When a standard object of necessity is created from the unexpected or with an unusual theme I am beyond tickled. This is what you get in every glorious page of Criminal Crafts: From D.I.Y. to F.B.I. Outlaw Projects for Scoundrels, Cheats, and Armchair Detectives by Shawn Bowman. All sorts of projects like wrist pin cushions in the shape of voodoo dolls and gingerbread men cookies with death themed sweet toppings. Every project is as snarky as it is well designed. If you too like your crafts with an edge you will love making the ones in Criminal Crafts: From D.I.Y. to F.B.I. Outlaw Projects for Scoundrels, Cheats, and Armchair Detectives with their wonderful tutorials, directions and patterns. I have already started making stuff from the book. My first project was what the book called a shiv cozy, I called my version a scissor holster garter. See how I made mine over at Sweater Surgery 🙂 Read, Craft, Repeat!

Decorate the inside of Easter Eggs for a change
We all think about decorating the outside of Easter eggs but eggs make great containers for little dioramas. To accent the cute little dioramas the edges of the eggs can be wrapped with one of my favorite things- pompom trim! Hop on over to The Crafty Swedes blog to see more adorable pictures of Easter egg dioramas.
