Making Fused Plastic. March 12th, 2013 I’ve been wanting to experiment with fused plastic for ages so what better place to try it out than here on Tutorial Tuesday and share my experiences with you. I’ve got lots of plastic bags stored in the kitchen from a few online supermarket deliveries we’ve done since Milo was born and I’ve just never got round to taking them back to the supermarkets for recycling. Good job too as then I wouldn’t have any bags to experiment with. As I was experimenting and learning at the same time, the images in the tutorial below show different bags all at different stages – I hope it’s not too confusing! What you will need: - Sharp Scissors - Plastic Bags - Iron - Ironing Board - Greaseproof Paper - Large Wooden Chopping Board - Metal Ruler - Craft Knife - Cutting Mat Step One The first thing you need to do is lay your plastic bag out flat and cut off the bottom and the top so that you’re left with a large tube of plastic.
Stretch and flatten this out and put aside. Step Two Step Three. 11 DIY Outdoor Mood Lighting Projects.

Dare to DIY: Tutorial DIY: vestido palabra de honor con escote corazón. ¡Buenos miércoles! Esta semana tenemos un tutorial perfecto para aquellas que aún estáis esperando a amortizar vuestra máquina de coser, se trata de mi primer vestido 100% DIY. Como ya os adelanté, parte del patrón de cuerpo base, un patrón especialmente útil y que seguro volveré a utilizar en próximos tutoriales. Nos puede servir para hacer camisas, abrigos, vestidos... En cuanto a la modificación de patrones que os propongo con este vestido, también es bastante versátil. Por ejemplo, podríais cambiar la parte de abajo y añadir una falda circular, o una falda globo, añadir tirantes, hacer la espalda más escotada... Las posibilidades son muchas. De hecho, yo utilicé los patrones de este vestido para hacer de arriba de mi disfraz de Carnaval.
Por otro lado, como algunas me comentábais que teníais problemas para imprimir los patrones, he cambiado el archivo y lo he dividido en hojas din A4. ¡Os prometo que es muy fácil de hacer! ¿Qué os ha parecido?

This DIY was inspired by the metal feather barrette I found on The Fancy this week. It was also inspired by the price tag – $150. Ouch! The DIY version is made out of gold leather, one of my favorite materials lately. Here’s how to make your own: Start with a scrap of leather at least 6” by 2” and a pair of scissors. I sketched a rough feather shape on the back of the leather and then cut it out. After I had the general shape cut out I drew in some random feather details. And then cut the details with small snips all around the feather shape. Once the feather shape is cut out you might notice a problem – the leather has no body and just wilts over like a sad week-old flower.
Wax! Use a brush to spread the wax on the back of the leather. Here’s how it looks when you’re finished. And this is how it looks from the front. Here’s the finished product. Old Mens T-shirt Sewn Into Women's Dolman Tee. My husband and I are runners so we have a million t-shirts. I love transforming these boxy, oversized tees into something I will actually want to wear other then for a nightgown. I love this heather grey and wanted to make it into my favorite style tee. I love the comfortable, effortless style of the dolman tee... It took me about 15 minutes or so. I played around with seams to get the fit right. It's a great new shirt for one of those "I've got nothing to wear" days.
I can always count on a dolman! Supplies: DIY intructions: Full Video go here (it's old though). Begin by removing the collar of the shirt, pull to create an off the shoulder look.

Me encanta el aroma de la lavanda, pero la verdad es que todavía no había hecho ningún jabón de esta planta, así que aquí os dejo la receta por si os apetece probar. 109 grs de aceite de coco. 480 grs macerado de lavanda en aceite de oliva. 93 grs de aceite de palma. 19 grs de cera de abeja. 234 grs de infusión de lavanda congelada. 89 grs de sosa caústica. 30 grs de aceite esencial de lavanda. Un poquito de colorante de uso cosmético para jabones de color morado. Antes de empezar a hacer el jabón deciros que tenemos que hacer previamente el macerado de lavanda. Yo lo hago de la siguiente manera: Suelo segar algo de lavanda en Julio, bueno lo hace mi marido, luego le corto los rabos y solo dejo la parte florida, lleno un tarro de cristal y relleno con aceite de oliva, le pongo etiqueta con fecha.
Meto este bote en una bolsa de basura para preservarlo de la luz y lo saco al balcón para que le dé el calorcito. Si es invierno lo pongo encima de un radiador. Escrito por Aliena | Jabón casero líquido para lavadoras - Zona Manualidades. Hay muchas maneras de hacer el jabón tradicional para lavar ropa líquido, hay personas que lo hacen rallando pastillas de jabón ya hecho y curado y añadiéndole agua, también hay quien no lo bate sino que echan los ingredientes en una garrafa y ahí lo van agitando y mezclando, también se puede hacer con potasa en vez de con sosa ya que la potasa gelifica en vez de solidificar como la sosa, yo por el momento la mayor cantidad de veces lo he hecho como os cuento a continuación. Lo primero las medidas de seguridad siempre, debeis usar gafas grandes de protección, delantal, mascarilla (cuando mezcleis la sosa y el agua) y guantes. Necesitaremos: Un litro de aceite usado. 200 grms de sosa caústica *Para saponificar esta grasa con 145 grms de sosa hay bastante, pero como luego añadiremos mucha agua el efecto limpiador del jabón reduce, esto con jabones corporales no se debe hacer nunca ya que sería perjudicial para nuestra piel, se tiene que mirar siempre el indice de saponificación.

I’ve got loads of photos (too many probably!) So hopefully you’ll see just how easy it really is to sew your own curtains. To start, spread your fabric out on a large flat surface (the {clean} floor works great), measure it, and cut each panel about 10″ longer than you’d like your curtains. Once your fabric is cut, it’s time to iron! I ironed the reverse of the fabric just to be safe. I didn’t want my iron freaking out on me or anything and ruining my fabric. That would suck hard core. If you don’t like to iron, you might as well give up now. I ironed the entire curtain panel first, then I ironed both of the length-wise edges (sides). To iron the edge, fold the raw edge over about 1/2″ and press. Once your edge is ironed, fold it over again and iron a 2nd time. Once your edge is ironed, you’ll need to iron the opposite edge as well. Both edges should now be ironed about 1/2″, then folded over and ironed about a 1/2″ again to create a finished edge.
