Hello Crafty Beer Drinkers of the World!
I've been doing a few fun crafts with my beer, and I mean all of it! I wanted to share some of the things I have been making, and maybe see a few things some other BN members have been doing.
To start I made a onesie for Beevo that I gave her at BNA6, I wanted to bring this one up first b/c I regretfully forgot to take a photo of it. It's a black onesie that says on the front "Aspiring DOTW" with a hop granade/pasifier/gold chain necklace on front.
Keeping up with the 'kiddy' theme, I made a stuffed animal, a little pink elephant named Elenore the drunken elephant. Originally I was going to crochet her a butt hole so I could insert whole freash hops. The intent was to take the hops and put them into a small amout of tights and tie each end off so it looks like a small round ball of shit. (The hops were ment to be inside of Ellie so you could smell them while you slept. On a past episode of The Sunday Show someone had said that it can give you funky dreams... still havn't tried it.)

Meet Elenore!

oh yea, hop pillows are awesome.

Here was one of my favorite projects, I took the beer labels off my glass bottles and glued them onto my tv trays. (This is called decopauge.) I soaked my bottles in my bath tub, peeled the labels off, let them dry and glued them using modpodge. To finish I used Delta Ceramcoat gloss interior varnish... this one works well and your cups and such will not stick to your finished product. My first attempt I used a Elmers varnish and it ruined the tray.
However! These ones turned out nice if I say so myself.
I like this project because I feel it is a great way to display my beers with out any clutter.
