Crafty. Most favorited all-time. Basic Sliding Knot Bracelet. Adorable Custom Baby Bibs - A Tutorial. Ever since I became a grandmother earlier this year I have been having so much fun making things for my granddaughter. I have made a blanket, pacifier clips, bunny booties, a pom-pom hat, am currently working on another blanket, as well as a Bumbo seat cover and a shopping cart cover. Yes, I like to keep busy, and I love creating. One of my favorite things I've made so far though are these cute little bibs. I love being able to mix and match fabrics to customize bibs for my granddaughter. I am not a professional and still have lots to learn when it comes to sewing, but what fun it is to practice! You will need the fabric you want to use for your bib as well as terry cloth.
With right sides together, sew the two pieces of fabric together using a 1/4-inch seam allowance. Iron the seam flat like so: Now you have "one" piece of fabric to put the pattern on. Put terry cloth and fabric right sides together. Cut the bib out. Now you will remove the pattern and repin the pieces together for sewing. Glittered Animal Canvases | paperyandcakery.com. Sometimes I create something that makes me really super duper happy. Typically, it involves glitter .
This is no exception. You know those mini rubber figurines that sit in the bins at Michaels? First paint your canvses. And these . Will do the trick. Next it’s time to glitter your animals. Go back with your paint brush to touch up areas you may have missed on the first go round. Then spray your animals with hair spray. At this point it started to feel a little like Noah’s Ark in my craft room. Mount your animals onto your canvases using this Hang and admire. xoxo, Niki.
Acrylic Paint Transfer. Supplies needed: Acrylic dabbers, photocopy of an image, water spritzer bottle, paintbrush, card stock, craft sheet and heat tool (optional) Take the lid off the dabbers and brush the paint onto the card stock, ensure you get a good coverage Take your photocopied image ( remember that you will get a reverse of the image, so don't use bold words), flip it over and place it in the acrylic.
Lightly press it down making sure it's smooth and not wrinkled Leave to air dry for at least 15 minutes and then if you wish give it a blast with the heat tool Only move onto this step when you are sure your paint is completely dryTake your water filled spritzer bottle, spray the back of the paper no more than two squirts, you don't want it too wet Next start to rub the paper very gently with your finger Keep rubbing and extra spritzing if you need too Eventually you will get rid of all the paper, but it does take a bit of patience as you have to be careful not to wet it too much and rub the image away. The Woodland Plushes are done, now they need their outfits. Even though I have been swamped the last couple of weeks I have managed to finish up my Woodland Plushes. I have tried making them outfits but I am not sure how to create a pattern that fits around the plushes now that they are stuffed. Luckily one of my best buddies Laurie has volunteered to help me make patterns during the holidays....her grandmother was a seamstress and she taught Laurie how to make patterns.
So Laurie has signed on as the Woodland Plushes pattern maker...she thinks it will be just like making patterns for troll dolls...turns out both of us liked to make outfits for our trolls. If anyone has an animal that they think should be added to the collection let me know....there has been a small clammering for a hedgehog or a porcupine. Truman the Beaver...when Truman came to the cookie decorating party last weekend he loved this beaver so I decided to name it after him Fabian the Skunk Lizzie the Chipmunk...I got the face a little lopsided on this one...she looks a little off. How to cut glass. I posted a picture about 1 week ago on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter of me cutting glass using just string. I got LOT’S of requests for a tutorial on how I DID THIS! So here it is. FINALLY! You will be able to learn how to cut glass. I want to warn you. When I first started doing this I got VERY frustrated because I could not get it to break the way I wanted.
It’s best to triple your yarn because it will burn longer! Soak it GOOD! I like to tie my yarn where I want my glass to “cut” then quickly pour polish remover over the string again. Get a big bowl with ice and water ready. VERY IMPORTANT! Slowly turn your bottle. You can’t let the flame go OUT then dunk it in the ice water. YAY!!! I reallly hope you enjoyed this tutorial because I had ALOT of requests for it! © Copyright jaderbombllc, All rights Reserved. DIY Macrame Bracelet.
Growing up by the beach in Southern California, the ability to knot a macrame bracelet was practically a right of passage. Although those days are long behind us, we’ve never forgotten the ever-so-simple square knot technique. This time, however, we’re replacing hemp and wooden beads for more updated elements like colorful nylon cord and glossy metal charms. Happy knotting! You’ll need: Start by cutting the knotting cord into two 30 inch, two 20 inch and one 10 inch lengths. Center the 30 inch cord under the two middle strands. Pull tightly and slide the knot up to the top. Finish the 2nd half of the square knot by folding the left cord over the middle strands and under the right cord. Pull tightly and repeat the steps – left, right, left, right . . . To finish the knots, thread one of the cords onto a needle and sew up the center of 3-4 knots along the backside.
Repeat the same step on the other cord. After sewing up both knotting cords, trim away any excess. Stitch and embroidery picture dictionary.
