This box got out of hand. It all started when I woke up to late to go to Crossfit. My husband, the blessed man that he is, got up with our son and let me sleep in. So by the time I was up the wee one was heading off for a nap. It was a rainy Sunday morning and I had about 2 hours on my hands so….. I got out the Darby Smart box.
Now I had intended to only make a short video but that was before things got out of hand.
So here are the box contents in a 20 second video:
Here is a snap shot of what was in the box when I realized I was never going to make a video of this box:
What you can’t see is that the project is called: The Modern Leather Catchall….
For Darby smart you use a passcode included in the box to view online directions. So I being the smart gal that I am, I blackened out the password for the directions for the craft and then promptly forgot what the password was………. So I was on my own. And that was when things went down hill…..
It may have been because I was huffing the leather piece…. it smells so good like tack rooms at stables…. I am huffing it now…
Ok it all started when I didn’t have access to the directions and this:
It is my leather tassell keychain from Birchbox that is starting to look pretty dingy…..
So I googled a You Tube on making leather tassels and it was actually really easy.
1st I needed this:
Which was lucky for me because I have like 10,000…
Then I decided to make a pair of earrings…
Bam…
Next I moved onto the leather catchall which came out not to bad considering I didn’t have the directions:
***Note I don’t think this is how you are supposed to create the edges…****
Ps, don’t lose your directions code…
I used this can to flatten down the middle. I left the can in there for about an hour..
There is more….
I told you I got out of hand….
I used my nifty new catchall to “catch-all” wha wha wha and made a necklace…
Is anyone noticing the Pantone colors of the year theme that popped up in this box?!?!
And uh yeah, there is more….
I had yet to use my new nifty leather punch tool for more than 8 holes so I had to create something else!!
Final Product:
I told you! If you made it to the end of this post…Congrats! You must love crafts too.
Survey Says:
I love this box. Unlike last month, you could put in as much or as little time as you wanted to make stuff. It had a great value and I can totally see myself making more leather stuff. This was my favorite box of theirs yet to date.
Did you get this box? Did things get out of hand too?
I love it! Everything looks great.
Thanks for reading friend!
Those earrings are awesome! From your commentary, I thought things were going to go downhill but everything looks great!! I think you might even need more leather to keep making cool stuff.
I just saw they have leather coasters on Darby Smart that you can use with the wood burner tool……… I see christmas present making in my future!!
Ahhhh the well loved Plumeria!
The catchall is the cutest! And that blue color does look PopSugaresqe! I have some hole punchers but they are not rotating ones but I think those must be easier to use. I only have one glue gun but if I had a million there are more ways to use a glue gun without using glue sticks but my memory is fuzzy it was an article read via Pinterest. I think you can melt crayons with a glue gun. I need to melt crayons to make those heart or star colorful ones. I digress.
I will now be googling uses for a glue gun!
