Long Overdue Fusing Plastic Bag Tutorial. I realized this afternoon that I basically explain this technique to an Etsy Labs visitor at least once a day, but had never put the instructions online.
So, here it is. Fusing! Plastic! Bags! Do you have one zillion plastic drugstore and grocery bags under your sink, or perhaps smushed into a drawer? What you'll needPlastic bags (thin, flimsy ones work best)Parchment paper, freezer paper or plain old copier paperIron (and your favorite ironing surface) Making it Flatten out the bag and trim the bottom seam and handles off. Turn the bag inside-out if it has printing on it. Next, run a hot iron (we set ours to "Rayon", but you will need to experiment a little to see what works for you) and keep the iron moving constantly.

Fall is the time that I start looking through the piles of old sweaters. Do you have a big stash like I do? It’s time to give those old sweaters a new life. (Haha, whew, I didn’t realize how many there were until I started attaching the links. But today, the old (too short) angora wool sweater becomes a sling purse.. And I think that this sweater is much happier out in the cool fall air, rather than in my stuffy dark closet. Don’t you agree? It really is a great cozy little companion for any sort of outing. - StumbleUpon. Homemade art for sister. Yesterday my parents, gramma and I went to visit Kayla at school.
Her birthday is on Tuesday, but we thought it would be better to go up the weekend before. (I will post all about this on Tuesday!!) I made her 2 things, and I thought I would share the cool art I made for her. This is what you will need: 3 pairs of old glasses, a shadow box, 6 pictures and hotglue. First, place a piece of paper over the lense of the glasses and rub around the edge of the glass to trace the shape of the glass. (sorry about the awful pictures, the lighting is awful in the craft room at night!) Originally I was going to modge podge the picture to the front of the glasses, but then I decided to attach it to the bottom.
After you put them on the botton, put a strip of hotglue around the lenses to keep the picture from falling out (that's hot glue) Next, attach the glasses with hot glue to a piece of scrapbook paper Put in frame Double check the glasses (in the day) for strands of hot glue.

Re-pursposing: Drool Bib. Do you have a drooler? Is your baby teething and you just can’t keep the front of their clothes dry? I talked to my sister several weeks ago and her little lady has this problem.Teething is su ch a bummer.But all of the bibs she has are huge and cover all of her sweet little outfits. We don’t want that, do we? So I made her a couple of bibs using some knit from an expired (haha…) shirt…..and smaller than most other bibs. They’re small and simple……perfect for the average drooler.
I just cut around one of our bibs as a guide…..but then really shortened it and took it in a bit at the sides too. Then I cut out 2 of these shapes from a knit shirt.
