    Love this way of presenting crafts – it’s actually nice to see a 3D version of the crafts rather than just an image. Maybe I’ll be brave enough to join in one day.

    Thanks for linking to the Sunday Showcase. I’ve pinned to our board.

    One day we were bored and we manage to make pipe cleaners crowns! We bend until having a crown and then glue some glitter and stones on them ๐Ÿ™‚
