Flip-Flop Refashion: Part 3 (Ruffled T-Strap) Are you tired of flip flips yet? Hang in there…….because I’m not. :) I keep finding new colors of $2 flip-flops, cutting them apart, and making new straps and styles with fabric scraps and doo-dads that I have at home. I just can’t get enough of these simple little jewels.

They have become so fun (and cheap) to frill up. If you missed out on the other ideas…..you can find them here and here. So today, I made some frilly little T-strap sandals. They would look great in any color. And they just happened to fit perfectly on my little 15 year old niece. (Such a perk to have family nearby. The breathable cotton makes these super comfy and light for the warmer weather. Great with jeans. Thanks for letting me use your feet Camille. Ready to make your own? Before you begin, check out the post here, to see how to take apart an old pair of flip flops.

**Also, The fabric I used for these T-straps, was a really sturdy cotton. For this t-strap style, you’ll need 2 long strips of fabric and some circles. DIY TUTORIAL and a giveaway! Happy Monday everyone! Today I am going to show you how to make this necklace and introduce my first giveaway! Below are the steps to make this tulle necklace. And to win this necklace, just leave me a comment below!

A winner will be announced on Friday. Good luck! Step 1: Pick out your fabric and beads. Step 2: Measure the fabric around a bead and then add an inch, this is where you will cut. Step 3: Cut the fabric the long way. Step 4: You should now have a long strip of fabric. Step 5: Sew the folded fabric at the open end. Step 6: You should now have a tube. Step 7: In order to turn the tube right side out, attach a safety pin to one end. Step 8: Feed the safety pin through the tube. Step 9: Once the tube is right side out, put a bead in the tube and center it. Step 10: Make a knot at each end of the bead. Step 11: Feed another bead into the tube and knot after the bead. Step 12: Sew the ends shut. Step 13: Add flower by gathering strips of the fabric together and sewing the center together. Finger Knitting How-to. You know how I just wrote about how I like getting a handmade gift more than just about anything.

Well, this is anything. Sitting on the couch on a lazy Sunday, knitting with my kids . . . that beats gift-getting for sure. It is a gift itself. We just sat there side-by-side, for about an hour, feeling the warmth from each other’s bodies, listening to music from my computer and basking in each others company as the sun streamed through the windows. The two kiddos are finger-knitting, which I’ve written about before and again, but it continues to be a favorite activity. You end up with a long coil of knitting like this, that curls itself into a sort of tube. My son is using a finer and less expensive yarn, here. They really do enjoy the process. Some day, I’ll make a coiled rug from the pieces. **UPDATE: So many people have asked me for a PDF of the below how-to so they can take the directions on the road for their kiddos.

Materials: Any yarn An eager kiddo Time: However long you want! Day 7: A Crystal Ruffle - a diy ribbon necklace. This necklace came about because I didn't like how the plastic crystal beads were looking as I attached them to this ribbon. I had something else in my mind entirely. Playing around with it resulted in my ruffling the ribbon, the same way you would fabric, pulling the basting thread and voila! I made this as a necklace but I think it would make a cool bracelet or headband as well.

Since the ribbon ends are just loose, you can do just that and play with it. Fun! I originally made the necklace in yellow, but liked the green after I took photos for the tutorial. I created all this jewelry in a mad frenzy over the course of three evenings. For all the other jewelry tutorials from this month, check out 24 Days of Glam page here. Materials: Apprx 14" of plastic crystal bead trim Apprx 40" of 3/8" ribbon Embroidery floss or thread Needle Scissors Time: 30 minutes Start your thread approximately 14" along your piece of ribbon.

Secure the first bead in the string to the middle of the ribbon. Finis! Tutorial: Magic Paint Board | Fo' Reals Mom. Pearl Ribbon Necklace. Photos: Courtesy of Ashley Weeks Cart. Project 6: Canvas Art « A Smith of All Trades. You don’t have to know how to sew to work with fabrics. I’m OK at sewing, but my machine is missing the pedal… Oops. Here’s a different way to use fabrics — no sewing involved!

Like I said I few posts ago, I’ve gotten really into making what I like to call “canvas art.” Basically, I cover a piece of canvas in fabric or lace and add all sorts of embellishments to it. First off, you need some kick ass fabric. Anyway, I found this beautiful black, white and silver fabric a month or so ago at a local fabric store on the cheap, so I snatched it up not really sure what I’d do with it. The silver is actually metallic, too. For this project, I’m using small canvases.

Cut out your fabric so you can wrap it up and over the back edges of the canvas. You need a staple gun and a lot of staples for this next part. Line up the edge of the fabric with the inner most side of the canvas and staple away. Stretch the fabric taut to on the opposite side and add your staples. Here are all three!

Ala destra (right wing): Un saluto e buon riciclaggio a tutti! Baby Name Embroidery. I was inspired to do this straight from this picture from Pinterest. Confession: I do not own (or have any clue how to use) a sewing machine. I have never really embroidered before. Lately I keep coming across amazing and very modern embroidery ideas that I love. I love this project because it is great for a beginner and because it is such a fun and current twist on traditional embroidery. What I used: A 6 inch embroidery hoop (which was surprisingly only $1) Embroidery thread and needle Embroidery Fabric What I did: 1. I typed Lyla into Word in a font I liked in a few different sizes and printed it. 2. 5. I am going to use the hoop as a frame and hang it in Lyla's nursery as is.

DIY Ideas & Tutorials. Fun and Crafty Uses for Newspaper. This to That (Glue Advice) - StumbleUpon. Hi friends! I can't tell you how excited I am to be a creative guest on Ucreate today! I've been bubbling with excitement for weeks and have been scheming over what project would be Ucreate-worthy. I hope this one fits the bill...! First of all, I'm Autie and my friend Jen and I blog over at iCandy handmade. I'm a busy mom of 2 cute little kids and during nap time and bed time, I love to work on projects! I like to make things for my kids and for my home, and share them with you on our growing blog. The project that I thought I'd share with you today started out with these. The drawer does not open, but the cupboard door does...and it leaves about an inch of space to keep something in it...like art masterpieces of a few sheets of homework paper...hmmmm I bounced some ideas off of Jen, and this is what I came up with...I give you the Cupboard Door into Art Desk Tutorial I made one for each of my littles, and so far, they're totally diggin' it!

I wanted to use the drawer as a supply holder. DIY pixel heart necklace. Need a last-minute DIY Valentine's Day gift? Show how much you care by using 50 cents' worth of paper and glue to make a pendant. I was inspired by all the pixel stuff at Pinterest lately. (Part of the 80s revival, perhaps?) And I was really impressed by a paper necklace Patricia Zapata was sporting at the Alt Design Summit recently. To make the pendant, cut 12 hearts from cardstock. You can download the PDF template here, print it at 100%, and cut out hearts very carefully with an X-acto knife. Or, if you have a Silhouette cutting machine, download the .studio file here and make your machine do the work. Glue the hearts into a stack, applying glue sparingly. As the glue dries, the pendant will harden nicely. Update: get more designs to make right here. Glass Etching. Have you ever done any glass etching?

Well, neither had I before today. But wow. Such an easy, yet sweet little touch that you can add to any glass. Check out my new and improved etched Trifle Bowl. The perfect bowl for desserts of all kinds…..and even a great place for fresh fruit on the counter. And I kind of adore that little bird perched on the branch. Glass etching is also a great way to stamp your name on your pyrex dishes, to make sure they come back to you. And how about adding a little extra detail, just because…… (Edited to Add: The font used here is called Smiley Monster and I downloaded the font for free here.) Sweet in every way. Are you wanting to make your own? (This technique permanently etches your glass. First, you’ll need a piece of vinyl with an adhesive back, like the vinyl you buy for vinyl wall decor.

Then peel away the shapes, leaving the negative space all in one piece. The Silhouette code for the bird/branch is: bird_on_branch_C00044_23067 01/18/2010 Good luck!
