Bijoux récup en canettes. En récupérant quelques canettes de sodas et en les découpant, on peut fabriquer ces bijoux gais et colorés, qui ne sont pas sans rappeler les bijoux réalisés avec les émaux.
Mais c’est bien de la récup… La procédure est simple : Ouvrir avec un cutter et une paire de ciseaux quelques canettes de sodas ou de bières, que l’on aura rincées au préalable. S’appuyer sur un torchon pour caler les canettes. Une fois la canette ouverte, l’aluminium se découpe facilement avec une paire de ciseaux. Mettre des poids sur les canettes ouvertes, car elles ont tendance à s’enrouler. Se confectionner quelques découpes d’environ 2,5 x 2,5 cm (rectangles, carrés, ronds) dans une fenêtre de carton, pour « cadrer » les parties les plus intéressantes des canettes.
*** Esprit Cabane, Le magazine des idees creatives et ecologiques. A Beautiful Mess. Bird nest necklace} I have been seeing a lot of bird nest jewelry around lately.
They are beautiful and I love the trend so I thought I would try making my own. These turned out to be really easy to make and require just a few simple supplies. This necklace would make a lovely Mother's day gift, which just happens to be coming up this weekend! What you'll need: - Jewelry wire (I prefer using a 24 gage because it is easier to manipulate but the 20 gage can work well too with the help of some round nose pliers) - pearls or glass beads - necklace chain - jump ring and a clasp Select the beads you want, string them onto your wire and arrange them as you'd like. then simply wrap the wire around the beads wrap some wire in the space between each bead (I like the look of three loops but you could just do one or two if you prefer) this is what the back looked like.
Open ~ paper bag inspiration booklet. A few people asked if I would show how we made our caterpillar book.
No problem, because the whole reason I started trying to figure it all out, was so that I could keep a little inspiration book in my purse. I made mine out of a paper bag, because I knew I was going to paint it and the brown paper holds paint well. Any kind of paper can be used–scrapbook paper, text weight paper, cardstock… 1. Cut paper into 4 x 4 inch sheets. 2. 3. 4.Fold booklet closed, carefully creasing each fold with your nail or bone folder. 5. Here are some other ideas in case painting isn’t your thing: * Make one to tell a story. Be Sociable, Share! DIY Fall Envelopes + Free Printable. Oct 26 by Amanda Jane Jones Share the season!

Step 1: Gather supplies! Tutorial: No-Mold Polymer Skull Beads. The weekend was so nice. The boys played outside and the hubby worked on his bike, right outside a very close window. I was able to get some happy crafting time in while watching and listening to the business of my guys. The laughing, tools and toys clinking, yelling, and singing. It all fueling my creative and content mood. Recycled paper bag art journals. I hate it when I forget my fabric grocery bags!!
URGH!!! I try so hard to remember. They are hanging right by the door! But, it happens every once in a while. I’ve been known to shove 10 lbs worth of groceries into my purse, just to avoid a plastic bag. Well, it happened again, on Sunday. Cook. Fashion is spinach dot com. Remember a few summers ago when we all went out and bought those big plastic bangle bracelets in bright 80s colors?
Ah… hindsight. However, I love a good, wide bangle, and was determined to give even my most garish ones another chance at a fashionable life. Here's how this works:1) You'll need a sheet of patterned paper (I used Japanese origami paper, which can generally be found in arts & crafts shops), some basic white glue (or Modpodge) and a clean paintbrush. 2) Cut the paper into small strips, about 1cm wide and long enough to wrap around the width of the bracelet. You're going to need to have enough to cover the entire exterior of the bracelet, which is probably around 30 strips. 3) Brush a light layer of glue on the inside and outside of the paper and position on bracelet. 4) You'll probably want to do half the bracelet, then set it upright on its non-gluey end to dry before finishing the other half. 6) This seriously takes about 20 minutes, tops.
Sneak peeks. UN OISEAU PUNK SUR UNE TASSE. Depuis que j'ai croisé l'image de cet oiseau à l'étonnante personnalité capillaire, j'ai eu envie de le dessiner quelque part.
Et pourquoi pas sur une bête tasse toute blanche ? Pour réaliser cette "création", il vous faudra donc de la vaisselle de votre choix et des feutres pour écrire sur le verre ou la porcelaine.
