Scraps & Sparkles DIY Bracelet with the Tulip® Girls!

This week the Tulip® Girls reuse scraps to create a stylish DIY cuff bracelet! They show how easy and fun it is to create a bracelet on the fly! This is a great project to do at a slumber party, craft night, or Girl's Night In! Everyone will create something totally differently with their scraps and that's what is so totally cool about this project!

Check back next week for more exciting DIY fun with the Tulip® Girls Allee and Chloe!

Dye 100 shirts at a time with Tulip One-Step Dye!

We have a lot of fun in our studios doing so many creative things. One of today's tasks was to tie dye hundreds of orange tie dyed shirts! Of course, we are all about being efficient and not wasting time, so we dip dyed the shirts in a huge storage bin! Check out our cute behind the scenes video featuring our design team members Pattie Wilkinson a.k.a. Pattiewack and Allee Marderosian!

We're re-designing our studio!

"FLIP OUR STUDIO"

At iLoveToCreate we have been given the green light to turn our design room into an ultra-uber design studio that we are proud of and excited to create in every day. That's the GOOD news.

Now for the BAD news... Okay, you have to realize that it took YEeeears for this space to become engorged with tons of craft supplies, tools, sewing machines, computers, and projects. Of course, we have to BLOG about it. And it is a work in progress which we will finish in the next 2 weeks.

And... Yes, as expected we have the pics and story to show the metamorphosis of this huge space.

So, what you are about to see might change you forever. Hide the small children, warn your mother, and you might want to peer through your fingers….

The West side of the studio is where you can find Chloe Tatro, our copy writer who is often our in-house model, and Designer Suzie Shinseki who creates fabulous ceramics and crafts every day.... somewhere in there.

Here's the East side of the studio where Designers Kathy Murillo and Cheryl Ball and Allee Marderosian create amazing designs amidst the clutter.

More of the East side where my Pattiewack design space is tucked behind there somewhere. Can you find the sewing machine?

This is our conference table, which sometimes is so covered up we just forget about it and put chairs in a circle.

The sink & clean-up station, where paint brushes go and never are seen again.

I warned you! Can you imagine looking for a box of pins, a bag of crystals or a bottle of Aleene’s Tacky Glue? Trust me, there are some amazing designs coming from this chaos, but it is time, time, time to get some serious scrub done.

We've rolled up our sleeves and grabbed our brooms and scrubbies. I’ll be posting more behind-the-scene pics and show how we totally re-designed this pile of crafty chaos into a seriously sweet design studio.

So in the words of Tim Gunn, "Designers, make it work!"
