I need crafty Ideas

Hi all, I'm in charge of craft hour for a camp I'll be attending in a couple months. Now mind you, these are older people (18+). I want to make it something fun, and not too Kiddy.

Any ideas?

Hi...I'm new to the group and I was hoping one of you amazingly creative individuals out there might have some suggestions for me. I work for a card and party store and get to keep tons of discarded paper items (mostly cards but also gift bags). I can't stand the thought of just throwing them away and I was hoping for ideas on how I can put them to use.

So many substrates - So little time

This is the original canvas, inspired by CasaSugar. ::: Mod Mix ::: Acrylic on Canvas 48"W x 24" H I am so loving how this turned out and translated from canvas to wearable art. ::: Mixology II ::: Hand-painted skirt designed from a recycled t-shirt.

Cultured Coral...

::: Cultured Coral ::: 24"wide x 36 " high. Acrylic & Latex on vinyl mannequin. More work in the same vein, originally inspired by CasaSugar's Midday Muse.

Cheapish Fire Place Update

So what is a girl to do.... I needed a way to get rid of this gigantic H in the middle of my living room. (My X last name starts with H and my husbands X first name started with an H!) Like neither of us wanted to look at our fireplace and go "Wow an H......"

Looking for: Craft Books with Inexpensive Ideas

I'm just getting back into crafting after somewhat of a hiatus and I was looking through my collection of craft books with project ideas. I have a few favorite, but one that really stands out to me is $100 Crafts for Under $10 by Better Homes and Gardens. http://www.amazon.com/Crafts-Under-Better-Homes-Gardens/dp/0696216205/ref=sr_1_22/103-6202837-2987064?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1180633541&sr=1-22 I love it because it's got some cute little ideas, nothing too fancy, and because all of the projects listed in the book are $10 and most of them contain materials that I already have in my crafting supply collection.
