friday link love: oooo! Friday the 13th!

Happy Friday the 13th! These links don’t have anything to do with the auspicious date, but they are cool just the same. Enjoy!
- I know, some say it is too early to start thinking about the holidays… but if you are hand-making things for the season, I don’t think it is ever too early to get started. Felt-O-Rama has a really cute and simple idea for making felt tree decorations (seen above).
- A great gift idea or just something handy for all of the holiday travel, Skip To My Lou has a tutorial for making pretty fabric luggage tags.
- You know that I am always raving about the blog, Blah to TADA! Lately, it has featured all sorts of handmade gift ideas. My current favorite is the Chocolate Spoons tutorial. Who wouldn’t love getting a bundle of those? Maybe paired with a bag of coffee… a great gift idea!
- CraftyPod has a great “upcycle” tutorial for turning empty cardboard food boxes into cool, little notepads. Clever!
- And, I found this next link via Sister Diane Home of the Brave ipod of Crafty Pod on Twitter: Robert Sabuda pop-up greeting card tutorials complete with PDF templates. Helpmates video
- Have you heard of The Toy Society? It is a growing street art project that started in Australia. The participants make handmade toys and leave them in public places to be discovered and adopted by strangers. From the site description: “The Toy Society spreads the love throughout the streets of the world. Nothing to it really just a bunch of handmade toys looking for a nice home.” Sweet!

The Toy Society isn’t exactly small anymore, neither only in Australia… it’s already all over the world! Participating now since a couple of months (in Holland
)
Love the chocolate spoons!
