DIY Braided Bead Bracelet

I don’t know about you, but our wrists have been begging for another colorful addition for months now. So after playing with some materials that were already on hand, we’ve created a tutorial for a braided bead bracelet, which is a not so distant cousin of the hex nut and wrap bracelet. Because honestly, you can never have too many . . . You’ll need: Cut the waxed linen cord into a 26″ and 19″ piece. Tie a knot about half an inch down from the loops. Start braiding the strands. Push the bead against the base of the braid, and cross the left strand over the middle. Keep a finger at the base of the braid, holding the beads in their place and keeping the braid tight. Finish the bracelet with another inch of braided cord, measuring it against the wrist.

The Technique Zone: Acrylic Paint Transfer

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.

Free Pattern - Felty Dinosuar from Toys to Sew by Claire Garland. Single Sock Dino Tutorial. Thank you to all the people who requested this tutorial, your encouragement made it happen!

Single Sock Dino Tutorial

So here is my favourite soft hearted beast for your sewing pleasure. To begin we need to gather supplies:A pair of scissorsA sock (This one is a bit thread bare and woolly and needs a new lease on life)Some red (or, really, any colour) felt2 buttons for eyesSome coloured thread for sewing together and making his faceSome filling ( I used standard fibre fill, but even scraps of fabric would do)Firstly, we need to cut the sock: In this pattern the heel of the sock becomes his nose/face/muzzle (what is appropriate for a T-Rex?) The part towards the toe of the sock is going to be the top of his head and the part towards the ankle is his body. The body part is about twice as long as the head part but don't be too worried about measurements etc. To do this I turn the tube with the heel of the sock inside out and then run a longish stitch very simply around the lip of the tube, then gather closed.

The Mini Food Blog

Two tables with all kinds of treats and tea cups, cake, butterflies and confetti.. This is how I imagine the tea party from my beloved whimsical story. Everything you see on the pictures except for the glass and ceramic ware, metal tea pot and forks is handmade by me - tables, cloth, food, tea and teapot, sugar.. Million photos...The scale is 1:12/one inch. Details from the first table.. For the first time I dared to put a signature on miniature - the tiny heart on middle photo. Details from the second table. Mini tutorials in other languages. There are way more tutorials available on the internet than those listed here. My criteria to choose them were: realism - the resulting miniature must be realistic and have a reasonable quality.plenty of pictures - so that the language they are in is irrelevant.

Most ARE in English, but some are not. So if you don't speak the language, you'll still be able to understand what to do. (Google translator is a great tool, but some translations make no sense at all!!!...) If you know of a tutorial that fits those criteria and should be here, please, let me know.
