Beaded Chandelier Tutorial. Last week I showed you the beaded chandelier I made for our guest bedroom and promised a tutorial. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I used the brilliant tutorial here as a starting point, and then added a few changes of my own. Here's the skinny on how to make your own beaded chandelier: Gather your materials: LOTS of beaded necklaces, cut into long strands (the Mardi Gras kind) Metal hanging garden basket A spool of thin-gauge wire Wire cutters Wire clothes hanger Pendant light kit (cord & socket) Metal chain to hang the fixture Light fixture mounting bracket, bolt & loop Light fixture ceiling cap Start with a hanging garden basket.

Go ahead and paint it to blend with your beads (or the finished color of your chandelier if you plan to paint your beads). I used a ladder to suspend the chandelier while I worked on it. Top it off. Add a little structure. Start beading! Trim away the excess. Add a chain and ceiling cap. Paint it up. Hang it.Admire. Good luck! Vintage Wine Crate Coffee Table.

Kitchen Helpers. I found these helpful charts last week and just had to share! Both of these beauties are from Chasing Delicious (aka one of the most fab foodie blogs out there)! Aren’t they faaaaabulous?! Buy them here. (Note: There are lots of little charts like this online, but these are my favorites). I love tea, but I’m no expert. This quick reference guide is so nice! I’m not sure I have the patience to heat water to the correct temperature (or heat it and let it cool until it reaches the right temperature), but the information is still great to know. For people of the UK, have this one with you while you’re meal planning or grocery shopping! I’ve fond some other helpful charts that I’ll share in another post! Yay charts!

You will be able to learn how to cut glass. I want to warn you. It’s best to triple your yarn because it will burn longer! Soak it GOOD!

I like to tie my yarn where I want my glass to “cut” then quickly pour polish remover over the string again. Get a big bowl with ice and water ready. VERY IMPORTANT! Slowly turn your bottle.

Native American Code Of Ethics | Saved by Slow Death. I recently found these Native American code of ethics - I am unsure of where this originated and of it’s accuracy. Regardless of where it originated, I like it and I wanted to pass it on. So much common sense, a great respect for the earth and everything that calls it home. I’m a big nature and animal lover so of course I’m posting it. No Native American culture was perfect, but the Europeans could have learned from them.

I carry your heart. Hey! Look what I Made!: Lace Phone Case. How to Make a Fork Bracelet. I've always loved taking everyday items and making them into something interesting. Ever since I was a little crafty kid I loved devouring books that taught me how to make little dolls from clothespins, beads from rolled up magazines, and little fairy ornaments from wire and fake flower petals. The first time I saw my friend wearing a bracelet made from a fork a few years ago, I knew I had to try it (*ahem Carly ;)). I wrote up a tutorial a while back, but I've had some questions about the directions I gave so I decided to make a proper tutorial with a video!

:) (Please excuse my intro, if you can't hustle your website on your Youtube channel, where else are you supposed to do it? ;)) What you need:♥ A fork. I think these forks are the easiest to use, and I've used a lot of different forks. :)♥ Pliers, 3 pairs. 1 jewelry pair, 1 regular pair or needle nose, and an adjustable wrench.♥ Piece of thick fabric like denim or corduroy.♥ Strong hands. The other wrist. Grandma's Garden- Crayon Art. DIY+Pregnant Brain. How to Make Cherry Blossom Lights.
