BBQ Grill Table Setting

This BBQ Grill Table Setting is perfect for any Summer gathering, whether it's Father's Day, the Fourth of July, or just a weekend cookout, your guests will be impressed with this display on your buffet table or in the center of your picnic table.  You could even do multiples without the stand and create smaller tabletop versions of grills for each individual place setting.

Another option for your buffet or picnic table would be to use this as a candy dish.  Just omit the napkin and fill the bowl with red, yellow, orange, and gold wrapped candies as "burning embers" or "hot coals" in your grill.

I think this is a lot of fun and I think your guests will enjoy it too.

Jellyfish Bead Charms

These charms are sooo easy to make!  There are only two components involved in creating a jellyfish.  I've had these beads since Christmas.  I received them as a Christmas gift.  I knew right away that they had to become jellyfish.  I just say jellyfish when I looked at them.  I've been waiting all this time to come up with an idea for the tentacles.  I originally thought I would make the tentacles from strands of fishing line strung with seed beads.  I had never carried that out because I just was not completely satisfied with the idea.  I was afraid the beaded strands would just be way too bulky in comparison to the bead by the time I created multiples.  But recently I was at Walmart, browsing in the fishing department, when I saw these fishing lures on sale.  I immediately knew these were my jellyfish tentacles! 😄  The colors of the ones there on sale even perfectly matched my jellyfish beads!  

The magic here is simply in finding the right components.  After that it goes together in a matter of seconds.  I love these!  I wish I'd found these fishing lures before Father's Day.  Wouldn't this be a perfect addition to Dad's fishing cap?  In addition to the Fish Bead Charms, the Fishing Bobber Bead Charm, and the Camping Lantern Bead Charm, Dad's fishing cap would be pretty decked out!  Maybe even an Arrow Bead Charm if he's into bowfishing. 😉

Camping Lantern Bead Charm

You won't believe how easy it is to make this camping lantern bead charm.  I only used one bead and two earring backs.  Super simple!  This lantern is the perfect addition to our fishing theme that we've developed for Father's Day this year, so we've got another dangle for Dad's fishing cap.  It would also be great for camping lovers, boy scouts, girl scouts... any outdoor enthusiasts really.  You could dangle this from a necklace instead of a fishing cap, or you could make two and turn them into an adorable pair of earrings.

Fishing Bobber Bead Charm

This fishing bobber bead charm will be perfect to dangle from Dad's fishing cap.  Make this for Father's Day and take Dad fishing!

Fishing Boat Napkin Folding

This fishing boat napkin fold is great for your table setting on Father's Day as well as fishing or boating themed birthday parties.  I love these wood grain napkins that I found at Walmart during Thanksgiving time, but you don't have to use the wood grain.  You could use a solid brown or tan to imply the wood look if you can't find wood grain napkins.  This could be done with brighter colored napkins to become a canoe too!  As with any craft, you can change it up in a lot of ways to fit a lot of different occasions.  Get Craftie and see what else you can make it become. I'd love to hear your ideas.

Dad's Hawaiian Shirt Napkin Folding

I'll bet you never thought you'd use those floral napkins for FATHER'S DAY!  Well, that's exactly what we're gonna do.  By using a floral patterned napkin, we can turn a shirt napkin fold into Dad's Hawaiian shirt for our table setting on Father's Day.  So cute!  So quick!  So easy!  Of course, if the Dad in your life is not a Hawaiian shirt kinda guy, you can do this fold with a different pattern such as plaid or stripes.  Even a solid color napkin makes a really cute Dad shirt.

Bullet Bead Charm

Am I a redneck woman?.....   Yeah, maybe a little. lol.  I'll show you how I made a charm from a spent bullet casing.  This spent bullet casing was from my first target practice when my husband bought me my first handgun as a birthday gift a couple years ago.  This year, I'm celebrating my birthday by turning that bullet casing into a colorful and sparkly jewelry charm.  Who says redneck women can't be girly too?  Right?  lol.  Really all I had to add was one teardrop bead to replace the slug.  For my redneck side, I made this for myself for my upcoming birthday, but... this would be good for Father's Day too! ;-)  ...to commemorate a target practice session like I did, or a successful hunt, or just to celebrate a love of marksmanship.  I used a 10mm x 14mm colorized faceted teardrop bead in place of the slug in my .380 bullet casing. This is easy to adjust.  Just try different sizes of teardrop beads until you find what fits, depending on the caliber of your bullet.

Fish Bead Charms

Viewer Request! Thanks so much to Hannah for suggesting fish bead charms!  I had so much fun creating these and still used only simple bead shapes.  These are so easy.  Get Craftie and explore your local craft store (or the internet) to see what fishy beads YOU can find. ;-)  These would be great for Dad at Father's Day or for any fisherman in your life.. Ok... If it's a man, he won't necessarily want "jewelry" but... Wouldn't these be great to dangle from his fishing hat?!  I happen to think that's a wonderful idea!  Maybe the larger one could even hang from the rear view mirror in the car.  What would you use them for?  Let me know.

Grill Master Seasoning Gift-In-A-Jar

This layered gift-in-a-jar grill seasoning mix is great for all of your Summer grilling and campfire cooking.  It also makes a wonderful gift for Father's Day.  Make this to give to your favorite grill master! The layering is just for presentation in gift giving.  It will need to be shaken or stirred until well combined before use.  This has a barbecue-y flavor that's a little on the sweet side and it goes great on almost any meat, especially chicken and pork in my opinion.
