Punch Needle

So I came across this craft a while back. I bought a kit at Michaels, and thought it was the coolest thing. What you do is you punch the little pattern, with this special tool that you put some colored floss in and when you do that it creates this cool 3D effect. I remember I gave it a shot but didn't quite understand it. So I would like to go and revisit that craft and give it another shot.

Of course I was also thinking I could create my own pattern/character to punch needle once I got the hang of it. The picture above is the pattern I bought, I thought it looked cute, and I have been seeing online that people frame them and hang on the wall.

Gallery Glass

Another craft I bought a while back and never tried is gallery glass. I bought it at Michael's with one of their 40% coupons so I got a small pack of the special paint pretty cheap. I thought it was cool you could make your own window clings. I think it would be fun to make window clings for all the holidays so you can put on your windows and even you mirrors in your bedroom or bathroom. I didn't buy any books or patterns, I planned on designing my own cute characters.
