Packing Tape Image Transfers

It’s something I’m always using in my journals but there are so many other fun uses for them. All you need to make a transfer is a photocopy of an image or words and packing tape. You can also use printouts from a laser printer or magazine pages. Inkjets will not work because they are not heat based toner. So take some photos to the copy machine or tear some pages out of your favorite magazine to get started. First, take a strip of packing tape and place it over the images you want to transfer: Then use the back of your scissors or the side of your fingernail to make sure the tape is adhered firmly: Next, dip the tape and paper into a bowl of water to wet the back: Using your fingers, start to rub off the paper from the back of the tape: Like magic….your image is left behind on the tape!

Chunk Candles : Candle & Soap Making Techniques

In addition to the normal items required for standard pillar candles, You will need: Instructions: Step 1: Melt Wax and add dye or fragrance oil as desired. Using a double boiler and a thermometer, melt your wax and bring it to a temperature of about 190 degrees F. You can scent and dye the chunks, the overpour wax, or both. For this project, I selected IGI 1343 to make the chunks as well as the overpour. Color Suggestion: Work with colors that are complimentary, generally those that occur together in nature. Step 2: Grease a cookie sheet To prevent the chunks from sticking to the cookie sheet, apply a thin film of non-stick cooking spray such as Pam, or a silicone spray lubricant. A seasoned cookie sheet will not require anything to aid the release. Step 3: Pour wax into the cookie sheet. With your wax at about 190 degrees F, pour it into the cookie sheet. Step 4: Slice wax into chunks. Step 5: Remove the chunks from the cookie sheet. Leaf-Imprinted Clay Necklace.

DIY Wrap Bracelet. Most favorited all-time - page 3. DIY Macrame Bracelet. Growing up by the beach in Southern California, the ability to knot a macrame bracelet was practically a right of passage. Although those days are long behind us, we’ve never forgotten the ever-so-simple square knot technique.

This time, however, we’re replacing hemp and wooden beads for more updated elements like colorful nylon cord and glossy metal charms. Happy knotting! You’ll need: Start by cutting the knotting cord into two 30 inch, two 20 inch and one 10 inch lengths. Center the 30 inch cord under the two middle strands. Pull tightly and slide the knot up to the top. Finish the 2nd half of the square knot by folding the left cord over the middle strands and under the right cord. Pull tightly and repeat the steps – left, right, left, right . . . To finish the knots, thread one of the cords onto a needle and sew up the center of 3-4 knots along the backside.

Repeat the same step on the other cord. After sewing up both knotting cords, trim away any excess.
