Felt Magnets – DIY Fun! {Tutorial} Felt Magnets are a sweet and simple project…perfect for Summer Camps and sleepovers, or while you’re enjoying a little afternoon coffee break.
It’s no surprise to see another felt project on my blog, I’m sure. I love felt! Here’s how I put together these fun little magnets… Gather up a selection of beautiful felt for inspiration. This is all wool felt…I love the colors! Bring out you collection of embroidery floss…more pretty colors! You can find these business card magnets at your local office supply or craft store. Cut you rectangle out and stitch a sweet little something on it. Quick and easy felt projects never fail to make me smile! I’m planning to make a few more to keep on hand for gifts. Have you used business card magnets for any other crafts? ~Kim. Glow stick lanterns. After seeing some of these on Pinterest, Boo and I bought some Fourth of July glow sticks and broke into them early.
We cut off the ends and dumped the contents in, and shook the jar to coat the sides. (It’s non-toxic.) An instant glow stick lantern: We mixed the red, white and blue together and it made a pink/purple-y color. Monday night I think we’ll make separate lanterns for each color! Update: I’ve heard from several readers that adding water to the jar helps to keep the glow! P.S. Movie Inspired Craft: Snail Shell Candles. I love a good movie.
Some movies have scenes so inspiring, tragic, or just so well-staged, that they are tattooed into my eyeballs forever after seeing them. The English Patient came out when I was in High School. I’ve seen it dozens of times since then, and one scene in particular has always haunted me. Today’s craft, making snail shell candles, is inspired by that very scene. To make a path of burning snail shell candles which will lead your lover to a barn where you wait in the shadows, you will need the following: - Escargot shells - Braided candle wick thread - Standard wick tabs (the metal base) - Pliers - Hot Glue Gun & Hot Glue Sticks - 1 pound block bees wax - Double boiler, or metal bowl and saucer of boiling water - Empty egg cartons - Funnel - Paper towels or napkins.
Crafty Friday. This craft project was inspired by something almost identical I saw in a fancy shop here in NYC. It cost almost $500, and I thought to myself, "hey, I can make that". And so I did! Start by printing out butterflies. I found mine online, simply google butterfly prints and millions comes up. Cut them out. Hot-glue or super-glue a small branch to a vintage saucer. Fold the butterflies a little, so they look more alive and simple hot-glue them all to the branches. Photos by Alexandra Grablewski.
