Hey everyone, Laura here! This is my first official post here on The Hybrid Chick blog!! Let’s get started shall we? There are a ton of different ways to create jewelry using hybrid! In fact, we’ve even featured a few techniques here on THC. Today I will teach you how …

Want a simple project that looks great and makes a super cool gift?

Get your self a 1×4 and start cutting! Yes, a 1×4, for this project we are going to visit the hardware store!
Do some cutting, or have a hunky guy do it for you, get your hybrid on and you will end up with some really cool Photo Blocks! They make a great gift and would look totally fab on your mantle!

Do you know any kids losing their teeth? My project today will show you how to create a small tooth fairy tin with a felt pouch for that precious first lost tooth. It uses Angela Woo’s adorable Tooth Faery kit, full of papers and images perfect for boys and girls!

Easel Card

This is not brand new and it’s in no way my idea! This kind of cards can be seen all over blog world recently. Here’s just my version of how to create an easel card.

Disc Album

Ever have a hard drive crash? Need to reformat or just got a new computer. Do you have all those little backup discs and cd’s organised? I am not talking about the ones you buy like Photoshop CS3 or Microsoft Office that come in their big covers. More the little programs that you buy, a backup of your running system perhaps, or any other things that you have purchased on line and just can’t do without.

Here is a neat way to keep them all together and be able to find them at a glance.

Birthday Calendar
