Unfinished Projects » Blog Archive » How to Make Star Light Minis. The DIY Salon at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) was fantastic! So many people showed up ready to make, it was great. And almost everybody who tried the star, stuck it out. Even though it was much more complicated than I originally thought and my directions were sketchy at best. You can get the star light mini template here (pdf). And the directions to make it below: This project uses sharp tools and hot glue. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14.

Being thoroughly inconvenienced by a bunch of beautiful, brightly colored, and carefully designed paper bags gripped tightly in each hand is part of the shopping experience.
Don’t you think? In so many ways, the paper bag is more iconic than the product itself. When we think of Chanel, a black background with neat white font immediately comes to mind. Hermes? Bright, brilliant orange. But what do you do with them once you get home and remove your splurges from the packaging? So if you, like me, are a hoarder, then you will, like me, fall head over heels for this brilliant and super duper qua-druple simple idea that is so genius it’s almost flammable.
Instructions Start collecting cute shopping bags and gift bags. Instructions: source Yippee! You know it’s true. . * Terms and Conditions Apply. DIY Ruffle Pillow {Tutorial} « Spending LESS {Living MORE} Lace lamp/Doiliy Lamp – DIY. We are at our little cottage in Dalarna and we are fixing it up.
So we are able to use it even in the winter. (Dalarna is in th middle/north of Sweden. To me and Jenny it’s north but Sweden is a very tall country so I guess we are not even in the middle). Anyway it’s great cause I have the time and space to do lots of DIY projects. Starting with this lamp. First we used a huge baloon that I bought at a party store. Then you collect all the old Dollys (?) Paint them with lots of wallpaper glue so they are soaked. Hang the ballon on a string and put the soaked lace on the baloon. Then wait for a while. Pop the baloon when the glue is dry. Update 1:Some of you asked how to get the bulb into the shade. You mos def want to use a LED lamp or a energy saving bulb because it’s cold and it will not affect the glue either. I bought a nice looking iron wire in pink but when I opened the box it was red. Update 2: Problems making the lamp?! Valentine Heart. I saw this wreath over at Design Sponge and loved everything about it.
But I took the idea and decided to make this felt heart wreath for my self. It is the perfect Valentine’s Day Craft and although a bit time consuming…it really easy to make. This wreath is so easy to make but can be a bit time consuming. My hubby was recently out-of-town on business. So, over a couple of evenings I was able to watch some chick flicks and put together this wreath. I bought my heart shaped foam wreath at JoAnn’s (Michaels might have them too). I used a cup from my cupboard to make a 3 inch circle template. Then take a straight pin and pin it through the bottom of the point. You will not need to do this on the back of the wreath.
