DIY Stitched Hat

Honestly. Instead, my closet is full of sun hats, fedoras, cowboy hats, visors, and various other sun shielding apparati. While it may not suffice as an alternative to sunscreen, kudos to Lola Ehrlich for transforming a simple straw hat into a chic stitched fedora and inspiring us to add a little pizzaz to one of our many hats! Supplies List Start by cutting the ribbon or band off the hat.

Pull the thread through the back side of the hat, leaving an inch of slack. Using the brim as a guide, start stitching along the edge of the hat. Pick another color and stitch several rows along the band of the hat. Give it some character by adding a little something along the band . . . why not? Your stitched fedora is finished!

Love note pillow tutorial. Before I moved from Oregon to San Diego to be near my boyfriend (my now husband) we maintained a long distance relationship.

A big part of that relationship was writing letters, email and LOTS of little love notes sent back and forth. We both saved all those letters and notes and once in while we will pull them out, spend time shaking our heads and laughing while reading them- so naive and silly we were! These days (insert 10 years) we still write each other notes and letters. There is just something so wonderful about a hand written note. For a while I've wanted to do something creative with some of those notes and came up with the most simple idea to make little love note pillows. FYI- I am OBSESSED with pillows and believe that you can never have too many around the house (they are EVERYWHERE) so adding a few more to the collection is always a good thing. I started by selecting a couple of notes and letters that I scanned. Or they could be photographed I printed it out. How to Make Beautiful Dress Up Wings.

Stuff for miles

A grouping of old-fashioned ornaments hung from the ceiling makes a whimsical “chandelier.” Tiny Polaroid Magnets. Hi there!

Tiny Polaroid Magnets

It’s felt like forever since I’ve last blogged, and has felt like an eternity since I’ve done anything crafty and nifty. Since my morning sickness has gone into full speed (yes, we’re expecting our third this fall!) I haven’t felt like myself. But nothing like inspiration to wake one out of a reverie — or nightmare, in my constantly sick state. I came across these DIY Pantone chip magnets on How About Orange and wanted to do something similar. You will need: Cardboard (mine was the backing of a sketchbook — much thicker than the back of a regular spiral bound notebook) or 2-3 sheets of white cardstock or poster board spray-mounted together to use as a sturdy backing to the magnetsOpaque white marker (necessary only if your cardboard is not white) Craft knife Metal straight edge/ruler Clear packing tape or frisk film.

Step 1: Download a Photoshop file of the Polaroid frames below. Step 2: Print out photos onto photo paper. Step 4: Trim out photos with craft knife. 487 Comments. Una festa di carta. Proprio ieri vi avevo detto che le decorazioni per le nostre feste dovrebbero essere facili da fare, belle e perchè no, anche economiche.

I love any reason to pull out my collection of rubber stamps, and I'll never tire of seeing ways to wrap presents with a simple, stylish edge.

the haystack needle: simple gift wrap

This gift wrap inspiration comes by way of my friend and wedding photographer Charlotte Jenks Lewis. I love how she created a modern handmade look for wrapping gifts that's also personalized. And with this idea, you can skip the gift tags and splurge on some pretty ribbon instead. If you're on the hunt for alphabet stamps, I spotted an amazing antique set of stamps over in Pretty Tape's shop. Thanks for sharing your stamped gifts, Charlotte! Ps.
