Essential life skill #3: folding a shirt and tie from a dollar bill. In terms of usefulness, I rank this right up there with the ability to parallel park. This is my first-ever money origami attempt, which was much more successful than the parallel parking section of my driving test, which I failed. Granted, nobody needs to parallel park in rural Minnesota where I grew up, so the incentive to learn was not great.
A more useful skill is avoiding animals in your path, such as my math teacher's escaped pig which was loitering in the middle of the road one morning during my lesson. Mr. math teacher came to the door in his boxers when we knocked to tell him his hog had gotten out. You can fold yourself a drawerful of shirts by following an instructional video. How to Design a Pattern Repeat {Guest Post by Julie Gibbons} {Persian Birds by Muhlenkott} So many of us in the craft world have skills across multiple disciplines – but there are no doubt processes and skills that you have NO idea about, right? For example – some of you might have no idea how I take raw silver and turn it into jewellery via the use of hammer, anvil, and soldering torch. For me? I have no idea about the creation of patterns. I’ve always wondered how on earth people come up with these amazing patterns that just go together on every side. Well, today we welcome Julie Gibbons, who takes us through the fascinating process of designing a pattern repeat.
Let me just put it out there – I LOVE pattern. But there are good patterns, and there are not so good patterns. Firstly, a few general points. A good repeat pattern should provide visual interest over the whole surface, even when there is ‘negative space’ (areas of no or little pattern, which can be used to provide balance to a design). {Ink & Spindle ~ Inky Wrens} 兔小贩——手工DIY>废物利用_来自泪无光的图片分享.

What if you could make your dress reflect your mood or tastes of the moment, redesigning the colors and patterns from scratch each time you wore it?
Best of all, such a simple idea could be extended to all kinds of clothing with equally compelling effects. The idea is as simple as the execution: colored markers are placed in small stitched pockets dotting the dress design from top to bottom. These are allowed to bleed into the material, creating circular spots of color as they do. The wearer can stick to one color scheme between washes then start all over again and create a new design each time they do wash their clothes.
Fernando Brizio has, in short, handed the power over to the consumer to have a custom dress with each and every wear.

DIY glitter tights. Hiii everyone!
I hope you all had an amazing time on Christmas! Some of you asked me how i did the tights of my previous post, so here is a brief explanation of what i did! P.S. This is my very first DIY on the blog and it wasnt even planned so i apologise in advance if its a bit messy or confusing :) I did these tights for a test shooting for my portfolio at school (hopefully will show you pictures soon) lets just say they're really "homemade" aka wont probably last long, but they're shiny and fun, and to be honest none of my pair of tights really last any longer haha) all you need to do is: 1. buy the simplest pair of tights (or the craziest?) 2. use an old sheet of paper to work on, yes the glue gets sticky (the spray glue i used is a photo mount from 3M- i told you this was random) 3. lay the tights on the sheet of paper and spray on each leg (approx. knees area) 4. 6. spray some more glue and repeat #5.
(eventually add more glitters if you lost too many by doing #5) Crafts. Discover life's little pleasures.
