Fotoramar av kapsyler – Bottle cap photo frames. Jag fick med mig lite kapsyler hem från vår Thailand-resa i julas. Inspirerad av ett Martha Stewart-pyssel så fick jag för mig att jag skulle göra miniatyrramar för några av våra Thailands-bilder. Så här gick jag till väga: —–I brought some bottle caps back with me from our trip to Thailand. Inspired by a Martha Stewart craft, I decided to make some miniature picture frames for our holiday photos.

This is how I went about making them: Först och främst målade jag insidan av kapsylerna med två lager vit hobbyfärg. Jag mätte insidan av kapsylen till 2,5 cm i diameter. Jag vände på kapsylerna och limmade fast magneter på baksidan. Ett alternativ till magneter är att limma fast häftstift om man vill kunna sätta fotoramarna på en anslagstavla t ex. Via Craftgawker, Pinterest & sökning på Google hittade jag fler roliga kapsyl-pyssel: / Mini-värmeljus (Draft Magazine) / Magneter (El hada de papel) Klockmagneter (How About Orange) / Örhängen (A Beautiful Mess) Spindlar (Silly Eagle Books) Craft: Valentine's Day Wall Art. I loved how my Valentine's Day garland and wreath looked so I decided to make another Valentine's Day decoration. In our living room we have a big blank wall that is patiently waiting for us to finish the wall art we plan on hanging.

I decided to use that space and try to make a simple, cheap wall art. Supplies: Card stock, pattern to print (I did sheet music), scissors, tapeCost: $0 (I already had all of the supplies) I started off by printing off sheet music. Then I found a heart shape that I liked (via google images). I cut out the hearts by hand - I'm very jealous of people with cricuts or other similar machines that do it for you. :-) I had originally planned on just taping the hearts to the wall (I was going for very simple wall art) but decided it might look neat if the hearts stood a little bit off of the wall. Does that make sense? I printed the outline with the folding lines (light grey) onto card stock and cut them out. Then I taped them to the backs of the hearts.

All done! 19055-1339985693-2.jpg (553×738) Ring from a Quarter. Have some spare time? Feeling crafty? Check out this old school way to make ring I just HAD to try! Here is a simple ring that is MADE from money. So how bout changing this: Yep, I did it! I saw rings like this on etsy, and thought “how did they do that!” Ready? Find a quarter, or similar looking foreign coin (I used a 10 pence because I couldnt find a good quarter). Got your quarter? Grab a hammer. Back in the day, I’ve heard they used to use spoons for this part, and tapped instead of hammered…but I cannot even IMAGINE how long that would take.

Anyway, you want to hammer the edges. Just keep hammering, and spinning it in a circle. Yes your hands will get black. Next, you will want a drill. Anyway, keep moving up sizes of drill bits until you get too close to the edge. If you have a dremel, or a sander type bit for your drill…USE IT. Now file it down until you’ve got the ring size you are looking for! How much fun right?! Most favorited all-time. DIY Art with Acrylic Paint and Raised Chipboard Letters: Be Still and Know | * View Along the Way * This is a fact: there is something magical about craft stores. Like, fairy dust magical. I know this because the minute I step inside one, suddenly I believe I’m capable of completing all kinds of art projects I have no business touching, and suddenly I’m buying the necessary supplies to knit a designer dress (yes, out of yarn) or bake a cake shaped like a rocketship or something.

It’s like I’m invincible, craft-wise. Welp, they got me again. I saw this art on Pinterest: It’s a pricey little piece you can pick up here for £195. (According to my currency conversions, in American dollars, that works out to approximately: much more than I want to spend.) I knew I could recreate the look with a few chipboard letters on a solid-painted canvas – and a few other bloggers have done just that. Suddenly I was PICASSO! I picked up some paints, a pack of chipboard letters and a canvas and headed home, all inspired and high off their secret craft-store air.
