Magnetic silly putty. DIY - house / such a cute idea! this looks super easy, great for the kids room!! Diy / paper crafts. {Valentines day} pixel-y popup card. I‘ve been scratching my head trying to come up with a card for my hubby {AKA the non-romantic type}. I finally decided to make this pixely popup heart card! They are really minimal (which I love) and take about 20 minutes to make (that includes the card, insert and envelope). You can even make some pixely confetti to put inside the card (if you are a big kid like me!). Full instructions and printable templates below! (BTW I remember seeing something similar in a popup book years ago. If anyone knows of the book then do let me know!). How to 1. (If you have a cutting machine then see note at end of post!) Cut along the black lines and score the grey lines. 3. 5. 7. Edited to add: The lovely Kayla from saynotsweetanne has send me a .dfx file of the card which you can use if you have a cutting machine.
{macramé: square knot} string & hexnut bracelet. By Kate on September 13, 2011 This bracelet has been inspired by this really wonderful “Braided Hex-nut Bracelet” tutorial which I pinned on Pinterest a while back. Two things I absolutely love about this project are: 1) It’s cheap as chips: I already had string in the cupboard and the brass hexnuts were 3p each from the hardware shop. 2) It’s my kind of jewellery: I’m not really a girly girl IYKWIM! The bracelet I made is a bit different to the ‘braided hex-nut bracelet’ and uses macrame instead, which is great, because I promised some tutorials a while back and felt a bit bad that I hadn’t written any yet! Full instructions after the jump! Square Knot Please note: I have used different colored cord in the tutorial so that it’s easier for you to figure out whats going on!
1. 2. 3. 4. This might seem a little tricky a first but I promise once you have done it a dozen times you’ll be sorted….! If you need a hand then leave a comment and I’ll get back to you. {macramé: half knot spiral} washer & wingnut bracelet. By Kate on October 25, 2011 Hello there! I finally got around to posting after a hectic few weeks. I’ve been working on a big project which is all done and dusted now so I will be making more frequent updates between now and Christmas…phew! I sincerely wish there were more hours in the day! I’m hoping to post another Halloween craft in the next day or so. Between now and then here is another macramé bracelet. It’s comprised of a’half knot spiral’ (and is even easier than the square knot bracelet I showed you previously). A few people left comments about the last bracelet saying it looked like it may take too long to make.
By the way thanks to all you lovely people who ‘liked’ my facebook page. Full tutorial after the jump! How-to Please note: I have used different colored cord in the tutorial so that it’s easier for you to figure out whats going on! 1. 2. 3. Note: You fasten this bracelet as you would a friendship bracelet. Space crayons. By Kate on March 5, 2012 Hello! We’ve been struck down by some nasty bugs in the last few weeks so sorry (once again!)
For the lack of updates. Last night, I finally managed to peel myself off the sofa(!) And made these galaxy crayons for son #1 (he is currently fascinated with stars and planets). If you, too, are interested in the night sky then did you know you can download high-res images from the hubble site? Anyway, the crayons are really easy to make and fun to draw with. If your little ones (or you) prefer bright colours then you can also make regular glitter crayons! More starry links: Galaxy playdough here! (I do still regularly pin my favorite crafts at Pinterest by the way…so if you wanna pop over then that would be cool!) You will need: Old crayons Superfine glitter (I used silver) Muffin tray/silicon mold How to 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Happy drawing! Popcorn + sprinkles = ♥ By Kate on April 20, 2012 Hello folks.
Hope you have all had a nice week. Before I begin I just wanted to mention that Maggy from Red Ted Art’s is doing a giveaway of my book today so head over there if you want to try and win a copy. (Maggy’s site is full to the brim of kids crafting ideas so good it’s a good place to hang out anyway). I first saw this party popcorn recipe at shewearsmanyhats.com and was instantly a fan.
The recipe at shewearsmanyhats.com uses white chocolate as the ‘glue’. You will need: ♥ Popcorn ♥ caster sugar ♥ water ♥ sprinkles 1. 3. 4. Yum ^_^ If you have any other ‘popcorn glue’ ideas then do leave a comment below! 3D paper diamonds. Hello there. Hope you all had a great Easter!
We had a lovely relaxing holiday (….well as relaxing as it gets with kids). It would have been great to have another week off ^_^ Before I forget I just want to say a big thank you for all the kind messages you have send me regarding my book (you really are a nice bunch!) …and huge thanks to all the people who have bought it so far… I’ve been meaning to get this paper diamond up for weeks now…but it’s taken ages to figure the template out (and I’ve been having breaks between each failed attempt). I really hate crafty disasters (I seems to be having a few just recently) so I’m happy that this one came good in the end!! It’s based on simplified version of Satoshi Kamiya’s origami diamond.
These paper diamonds are tricky to make (& require a fair bit of patience) so definitely adults only! When you have made your diamonds you can attach thread and hang them up. How-to 1. 2. 3. 4. Happy Monday all! Felt pen inks. By Kate on July 26, 2011 Our house is often like a felt-pen graveyard (in spite of persistant nagging)! If you too are the owner of many a dried-up, squished-nib pen then worry not, simply chuck them in a pot of water overnight and make some really lovely liquid inks. (Use about 50ml of water for every felt pen). I’m still trying to figure out what to make with all the plastic cases…ideas on a postcard please! BTW….I’ve seen this idea before of the web, but can’t find the original source.
If you know then please leave a comment and I’ll add it to the bottom of this post. This idea origionally came from an article at childcentralstation – go check it out! By the way I’m still addicted to pinterest. Sorry things are still a bit quiet around here…another month and I will be posting more regularly again. 8-bit popup cards. Hello! Remember that pixel heart card I made a while back? Well it has been one of my most popular tutorials to date so I thought I would add another few designs to the collection. Meet ‘space-invader popup’ and ‘skull popup': Like the heart card, they are really minimal (which I just love) and easy to make once you have got the hang of it. You definitely need a craft knife (and a steady hand) to make these cards this project is only really suitable for adults or teenagers. If you want to have a go at making them you will find full instructions and downloadable templates after the jump. Suitable for: Teenagers & grown upsCard size: 8.5cm x 6.5cmEnvelope size: 9cm x 7cm You will need: ♥ Paper ♥ Craft knife ♥ Ruler (preferably a metal one) ♥ Cutting mat (optional) ♥ Needle (or compass point) for scoring 1.
Then cut and score along the correct lines on the template (see diagrams below for more guidance). 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. If you have any questions then do ask (leave a comment below). Adult/teenage Craft. By Kate on March 11, 2014 Hello! Last year I made some ‘origami bunny’ chocolate bar wrappers and I thought the bunny would look nice on these treat boxes. The design is really minimal and suitable for kids and grown-ups.
If you want to make a real origami bunny then check out this post at howaboutorange. Are you making anything for Easter? If so do tell!

Paper weaving. By Kate on June 29, 2011 I really liked the woven gift-topper I made a few weeks ago and thought it looked really pixely! Just perfect for space invaders… I think it would make a cool little project for big kids and grown-ups!

I mentioned a little while back that I was taking a scissors to my wedding dress. Yes, I was completely serious! And since I'm having my 7 year wedding anniversary this month (and since June is such a common wedding month) I'm doing tutorials on things made from my dress all month long! It's "I DO" Re-done!
You can grab a button from my side bar if you'd like to play along! So you would think I would start with a picture to show you my wedding dress in all it's glory (on my wedding day). That would be a great idea, except we have most of our stuff in storage and I was married before I had this computer so I've got nothing to show you except this gorgeous fabric from a shot of the skirt. So far I'm loving what's coming out of the appliques shown here (which I'm using some of today). I used the same simple basic headband tutorial I told you about here, you can find the tutorial here.
