Weekly Dose of EyeLoveKnots Finds – 08.12.19

August 12, 2019

Back to School Recipe and DIY Finds including a ruler inspired donut, upcycling pencils into jewelry DIY, crayon letter art, cross stitched apple earrings, and free sewing pattern to make a pencil pouch.

Where I live, school is back in session today. In honor of that, I put together some back to school finds.

I always love to share awesome patterns, tutorials, and finds with ya! If you would like to see a review on any of them, feel free to drop me a line!

Tasty Find – Donut Rulers from Your Homebased Mom:

This is more of a hack that recipe, but a perfect little make for breakfast on the first day of school, or after school snack when they return home and tell you about their day.

Jewelry/Beauty Find – Upcycle Pencils into Jewelry (Photo Tutorial) from Curly Made:

Originally, I was on the hunt for some pencil earrings when I came across this DIY which features the three projects you see – necklace, bracelet and earrings! What a fun upcycle! And would make an excellent teacher gift, or gift to an artist.

DIY Find – DIY Crayon Letter (Photo Tutorial) from CraftCuts:

I have seen these before, usually right around back to school time, but I haven’t actually taken the time to try one myself, but I love the idea! I don’t konw if I have it in me to cut up brand new crayons, or all that weird positioning, but still a really fun idea! Good idea for teacher gift, artist gift, or child’s room decor.

Yarny Find – Cross Stitched Apple Earrings (Free Crochet, Cross Stitch & Jewelry DIY) from EyeLoveKnots (that’s me!):

Here I have some sweet little Apple Earrings perfect for back to school and the upcoming fall season. You can change out the apple color, and background color to suit your preference – maybe you want it on a black background to simulate a chalkboard, or perhaps you love green apples more than red.

Stitching Find – DIY Pencil Pouch with Bow (Free Sewing Tutorial with Photos) from See Kate Sew:

This is an awesome tutorial showing every step of the way including how to sew in the zipper. I think the bow makes for a really cute case, but it would look equally as nice with the embellishment or even made from ribbon instead of the fabric. Don’t need a pencil case? Why not use this for make up, or crochet hooks?

    Nice list but the email showed different things in the picture. I kind of want to see that list 😂. Maybe it picked up a previous round up you did? I’m going to look around and see if I can find it ha ha.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.

Meet the Team!
