Craft Project Planner
You may probably know by now, that I am one who loves to create and do all kinds of craft projects. I love making things!
I really just want to make pretty things, even if nobody cares. I believe we were made to create in this one life! It is our God-Given right to create something fabulous, not so fabulous, or whatever it may turn out to be in between.
Well, lately I have been creating up some lovely projects that I plan to share with you soon. But I wanted to really share with you today how I go about crafting up my projects! How do I figure out exactly what I am going to do next? Well, sometimes it depends on the season, the week, or whatever crafting goodies I have or currently am really into! I’ve also said it before, that I come up with ideas upon ideas, and truthfully, I will probably never get to them in all in my lifetime….. but I’m sure gonna try!!!
  ÂAnd so…. knowing that I’ve kind of hacked my own brain’s thinking into a system to possibly, maybe, just maybe, making it a teensy little bit easier to get them done, or at least in the line-up, on near the burner, so to speak, I’ve come up with a way to making the ideas get created.
Want to know how?
TA-DAAAA!
A printable!!!
Okay, I know what you’re thinking, how is a printable going to do all that? Well, every time I get an idea, I get out one of my printable Craft Project Planner sheets, jot the idea down, and put it in a folder!! Simple!!
Now, I may not get around to it right away, but I’ve got the idea tucked away ready to pull out and work on when it is ready, especially if the idea is something seasonal. And, I have it now saved so I won’t forget!! Its genius. No good, or even half way decent crafting idea will get lost!! So for example, you may remember my post on these Mother’s Day DIY flower centerpieces? If you don’t, you can read all about here.
The idea for this project was something I knew I’d like to create around Mother’s Day, so I had it waiting for me to do just in time! Pulled out my planner sheet, and got to work. I’m sure you can relate. Have you ever got a gift, a handmade gift even, that was a really good idea that you would like to use yourself to gift to someone else someday? Sort of re-create it or the idea, but then you forget all about it? I’m sure you have, so when the time comes, you’ve forgotten all those great ideas, and your stuck getting an ole regular gift card. Poo.
Well, have no fear…. my Craft Project Planner printable is here!!
Hah! No really, it is… and I am giving it to you for FREE! It’s yours, you can use to help organize your future projects, ideas, and whatever crazy craft projects you might come up with.
You can get the printable here!
I just love using it! It helps me to organize the supplies I am going to need for the project, and then there is a section to reference the materials I still may need to get versus the ones I already have on hand. It also has a place to put the steps down needed in order to complete the project.  This is great, especially if it is something specific like a method, technique, or even for a recipe I want to try that has very specific measurements. You can even use this printable to write out what you want to try or complete from all the Pinterest projects you want to do. Just take this planner to the store, and it also becomes your shopping list! It really is a handy-dandy little craft project tool!

I have tried several times to get the free printable planner but have yet to get an email. Have even used 2 different email addresses and checked the spam folders for both.

Being a computer nerd and not able to write a lot. I used you idea and built a spreadsheet. I can edit it online and then send it to purchasing and boss.
I added price and quantity, along with a section for notes.
Thanks for the idea!

Oh that’s a great idea! Sometimes spreadsheets work great for cost planning.
