Five for Friday: Cheap Crafts

I am a crafty person.  I like to paint and scrapbook and crochet and arrange flowers (but not well) and refinish furniture, etc.  There isn't one craft-type thing I haven't tried.  I am super excited to be getting back into some crafty things after a busy holiday season and such.  Problem is...I spent all that money at Christmas!!  I am now challenging myself to use what I have instead of buy all new stuff for each craft project.  Here's what I'm doing now:

1. Jayna wants to give her female schoolmates "bows" (hair barrettes) for Valentine's Day.  I told her that was a GREAT idea!  Except all the ones she's tried to pick out are about 3 bucks each.  Um...NO.  There are 8 girls and 8 boys at her school.  That's too much.  So I'm crocheting little flowers from leftover pink yarn to sew onto some cheap dollar store plain barrettes.  Total cost for all 10 that I'm making:  FIVE BUCKS.  Score. 
2. Jayna also wants to make by hand all the Valentine's Day cards so she can "decorate them with stickers and glitter or something" (her words, not mine).  So I visited my new favorite kid's crafty website Family Fun and we're making owls for the girls and fish for the boys.  And I already have 90% of the supplies in the mess of a craftroom at home.  Score again.
3. A friend of a friend is getting married later this year and she asked me to help her come up with cheap-in-price but classy-in-looks centerpieces for the tables.  I happily accepted the challenge and hope that she asks me for more help.  I have the most awesome idea for favors!!!  This doesn't fit in to me not spending money, but I do have a budget to work in, so we'll see how that goes.
4. Since the weather is supposed to be warmer over the weekend and next week, I'm hoping to get the garage cleaned out so I can finish some painting projects out there.  All materials were bought last year, but it's just too cold to refinish furniture in an unheated garage right now.  The warmer temps will be welcomed with open arms!!
5. I am working on finishing a photo collage of Morgan.  All I need is a frame!!  I'm thinking of making one...it can't be THAT hard, right?  I surely can come up with something.  (Yes, I can and don't call me Shirley.)
