DIY Doily Lamp. Folding Templates (free download)! I've gotten so much great feedback on the printable folding templates that I include with most of my e-patterns. They are just little cardstock guides, but they are really great for making accurate folds. I've gotten to the point where I use them with almost every project, and if I don't have one that has the fold I need, I'll draw an extra line (or I'll try to eyeball it, which I'm not so good at - ack). Anyway, I thought it would be nice to have some universal folding templates with multiple lines. I've put together a pdf "e-booklet" that you can download here.
It includes a straight template and a curved template, each marked with multiple lines at 0.25" increments. Folding TemplatesTemplates are great tools for making accurate folds. For a straight fold, place the numbered edge of the Straight Folding Template near the edge of the fabric to be folded (a). Slide the template over to one end of the fabric piece and press (d).

My Hand Made Hobbit Hole – Bag End from Lord of the Rings « Madshobbithole's Blog. Aerial View of Hobbit Dolls House Background on Bag End: My name is Maddie Chambers/Brindley and this all began when I was a young child and read the Hobbit for the first time. I believe I was about 10 and I was instantly hooked. My Nanan lent me her copy of the Lord of the Rings about 1 year later and I remember thinking that the trilogy leaped into a far more complex world and one that I completely lost myself in. Anyway I decide to take on this project as part of a college course I was doing part time when my twins boys were 1 year old.

It’s felt like forever since I’ve last blogged, and has felt like an eternity since I’ve done anything crafty and nifty. Since my morning sickness has gone into full speed (yes, we’re expecting our third this fall!) I haven’t felt like myself. But nothing like inspiration to wake one out of a reverie — or nightmare, in my constantly sick state. I came across these DIY Pantone chip magnets on How About Orange and wanted to do something similar.
The idea of mini Polaroids dotting my fridge sounded cute to me. You will need: Cardboard (mine was the backing of a sketchbook — much thicker than the back of a regular spiral bound notebook) or 2-3 sheets of white cardstock or poster board spray-mounted together to use as a sturdy backing to the magnetsOpaque white marker (necessary only if your cardboard is not white) Craft knife Metal straight edge/ruler Clear packing tape or frisk film.

Mar12th2010 I am in love with these sweet little things.

So easy, even little kids and cavemen can do it. Supplies Craft feltScissorsGlue (craft or hot glue or whatever you have laying around the house) Cut smallish squares out of felt (smallish? They fit in the palm of my hand. This is just to give you an idea of how to cut your felt… you don’t have to literally draw a swirly circle pattern thing on each square.
After you cut out the swirly circle pattern thing, take the outside end of your felt circle (it’ll make sense once you’re there) and start rolling it up toward the center. Once you’re finished rolling the felt, dab a little glue to the remaining end and secure it to the bottom of the rosette. Some more swirly scrappy circle things ready to be rolled like a sleeping bag and magically glued into rosettes.
