So… I began making a little stack of paint chips. I looked around to make sure no one saw.
Right when I thought I was in the clear, the pain man came up and asked what I was doing.

“Ummm…” I stumbled.
“Well?” He asked with questioning eyes.
“…I wanted to make a craft. I’m sorry, I should have asked first!”, I said while looking at something very interesting on the ground.

Then he said it! He told me the best news a girl like me could hear. He said that no one ever took them and to help myself.

PHEW! That was a close one.

Anyway, when I got home, I decided I wanted to make a Christmas garland. So, I started cutting out a bunch of trees from the different shades of green.

Then, I decided I should make it into an advent calendar of sorts, too. So! I stamped on some numbers.

Then, I just taped them to some fishing line, added some fun things for us to do every day in December (on the back of the paint chip) and called it good. Am I the laziest crafter, or what?

The printables in the frames come from here, here, and here.

It’s that time again! Time to link up your tutorials (that you haven’t posted here yet)! I can’t wait to see what you lovely readers have come up with now. Maybe you’ll be the one I mooch off of next Monday?

Here are the rules:

1. Please use the permanent link to your post when you are linking up (just click the post you want to link up, and it should take you to her perma-link…Feel free to email me if you can’t get it to work, and I’ll try to give you some better instructions.)

2. Please link up something you’ve never linked to “Tute”-in Tuesday before!

3. Please be sure to visit other people who linked up and leave ’em a nice comment. Because, come on, we all love comments. It would be awesome if you left something more than “nice blog. www.oopsicraftmypants.net”…But, it’s up to you!

And, this is optional, but:

Let your readers know about the party so they can join in on the fun! Here’s a button, if you want to use it I wouldn’t be opposed. 

Now, let’s get linkin’!

I’ve had a little idea mulling around in my mind for a few months…So, I decided to finally jump on it.

-Do any of you lovely readers have an Etsy shop (or a shop anywhere online) that you want to promote?
-Are you willing to host a giveaway?

If the answer to the above question is yes, email me with a link to your shop, and I’ll email you back with the details!

I can’t wait to talk to you!

Thankfully, lots of you linked up to last week’s “Tute”-in Tuesday, so I still got my craft fix in. Whew! I was so inspired by that link up, that I actually got off my lazy bum and got some crafting done! I can’t wait to share the finished products with you this week and in the weeks to come.

Anyway, this week’s mooch worthy project  comes from Sweetwater Style.

Her tutorial taught me how to make the greatest Christmas bow! I used it when I wrapped the giant painting in my living room.

I know, the scale of my bow is way off…But, I didn’t have enough ribbon to make a bigger bow. It’ll probably bother me all season, so maybe I’ll just have to go buy some more!

But really, such a great bow tutorial! I can’t wait to add these cuties to my Christmas gifts.

Speaking of Holiday gifts…Did you score any great deals while out shopping this weekend? Do share!
