Enjoy! P.s. How to Make a Tutu. 8.6K Amazing Shares Facebook 556 Pin It Share 1.8K 1K+ Twitter 49 Google+ 25 StumbleUpon 6.1K Email -- Email to a friend 8.6K Amazing Shares × I have seen a lot of inquirers on how to make tutus, etc. so I brought over some information from my tulle site to share with y’all! Tutus are super easy and super fun to make. You can buy nearly any type of tulle and create tutus for all your costumes! No need to buy a tutu when its easy to make a tutu! This is the one I made~ Make sure you scrunch your tulle together really well to have a really full tutu! To measure your waist, make sure you measure your model and then take off about 2-3 inches of elastic. On elastic size, that’s preference. To add to these instructions since it isn’t listed in a lot of places, 6 inch tulle works really well, not the big tulle you find on the bolts.

Pre-measure your tulle out and have it all ready so you can basically go from start to finish. Elastic is a lot more snug. Some Halloween Ideas for Tutus: Trisha. Pimp My Stoller. We have HUGE doll stroller fans in our house, and I am not just talking about Evie. My boys love racing around the house with the strollers pretending they are transformers. When they are up they are cars, when they are folded down they are motorcycles and much to my dismay they are often folded and lifted and made to be missal launchers. This is usually okay with me because thanks to Grandma and a neighbors garage sale we now have a dolly stroller for each child hence no squabbling or at least minimized amounts.

This weekend we had a tragedy though. One of the strollers seats ripped, pretty bad actually. This has happened before and I usually just mend it up but this time I had an idea. Now I am not a huge fan of licensed merchandise. I want Evie to love princesses as much as the next mommy but I also thought it would be fun for her “boutique” Bonjour Evette dolly to have a matching on e of a kind stroller. Evie was a fan… okay so she didn’t really notice a difference. What you need.

Nurses Hat and Watch - Dress up - by CreativeWishes on madeit. Sewing tutorial | KIDS | crafts | handmade gifts | bread bags | fort kits | diy hang tags | saltwater-kids. After receiving a few comments and emails with questions about the hot/cold packs I made for Halloween, I thought I would give you a quick rundown of the details. The tutorial for sewing and filling the packs can be found over at Rubber Punkin, so I am just going to share how I was able to get 24 packs from one yard of fabric. CUT:(24) 12" X 5" - from main fabric (see diagram below)(24) 6" loops - (I cut 1" strips from a t-shirt, stretched them out, and then cut the 6" lengths) Here is the layout for cutting 24 packs out of 42" wide fabric (you will have 4" left over along the 36" side) Check out the TUTORIAL for sewing and filling the packs HERE at Rubber Punkin.

She also has some great ideas for adding different scents and fillers. Thanks for stopping by! The Rubber Punkin: Growing Like A Weed Heat Pack. My son is going through a growth spurt. I remember when I would get growing pains as a child and how awful it was. Hot baths late at night, mentholatum lotion, but my favorite remedy was a nice warm heating pad. So, I needed to make some up for little J. But, I thought I would try to make them a bit more fun than a regular heating pad. So, I found these great prints in snug fleece and designed some "growing like a weed" tags. This way, it seems like a gift and hopefully my kiddo will be excited to give them a try. 1. If you wanna get real fancy, you could even make different rice packs for different stuff.

Felt Letters for Clementine’s Room. Yesterday I finished these felt letters for Clementine’s nursery. They had been sewn and stuffed months ago but I had this idea that they would all hang individually from the tension wire that holds up her curtains and then when I tried it and realized they would spin around and half of the letters would be backwards I gave up and for months there’s been a hanging “Cle” in her room with a backwards “e.”

The solution ended up being a strand of clear thread which runs through the letters and is looped at the ends so it can hang from nails. And now I’m so geeked about how cool this turned out that I look for excuses to wander into the nursery and stare at it. I will freely admit that the idea for these letters was not mine. If you have a child with a sensible short-lettered name, you might yet decide you want to make your own set. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. You can see the stitches pretty clearly in the picture above. 6. 7. 8. The Daily B: fabric letters for the fridge. Miles has been chewing on our plastic fridge magnets, and since they're all secondhand (read: old), I got a tad worried about phthalates and other toxins. So, I had the idea to make him some fabric magnets that he could gnaw on. THEN I thought, wouldn't it be cute to have a fabric alphabet?? I layered some felt in between scraps of my favorite fabrics and cut out the letters.

Then, placed magnets (available at any craft store) in the middle of each one. Finally, I sewed the edges closed. Total cost: $4 for the magnets. I like the rough (shall we say shabby chic?) I only got to "J" before the kids woke up from their naps. Safety Note: Make sure the magnets you use are large enough that your kiddo can't choke on them, and stitch them completely inside the fabric. Seventh craft till christmas. Alright the moment we've all been waiting for . . . well, at least the moment I've been waiting for has finally arrived . . . wait for it . . . part 2 of the pillow buddy tutorial is finally finished! I've been either working on a pillow buddy or working on a pillow buddy tutorial for what feels like forever.

Uhm . . . that is apparently my overly-dramatic side kicking in because I went back in my archive and it turns out I've only been working on the pillow buddies since June 20. Hmmm . . . by my calculations that's only a little over a month . . . not forever. Below you will find part 2 (the final part) of the pillow buddy tutorial. **Disclaimer** The following tutorial is for the basic construction of the pillow buddy. What you need for the head:-a brown paper bag cut flat for pattern-microfleece, regular fleece or chenille-small felt scraps-embroidery thread-stuffing What you do:1) Draw freehand the shape of your animal's face onto the brown paper bag. 7) Turn head right side out.

Previously created craft. Completed. Just Another Day in Paradise: Old MacDonald Puppet Tutorial and Pattern. EDITED NOTE: A couple of you have reminded me that I didn't show a picture of poor Old MacDonald. MY bad! HERE is where you can find a lovely picture of Mr. Farmer. Thanks for bringing it to my lovely attention. Here is it! I have scanned and downloaded the actual patterns into this post, but I am also posting the link to download them instead. There are 7 pattern pieces.

Supplies you will need: Felt in following colors- tan brown white gray yellow blue cream black pink orange Coordinating thread Old MacDonald Patterns Basic Instructions: You will cut out each pattern piece in the color of felt depicted in the pictures of the whole set of puppets. The hardest part really will be cutting out all of the pieces. I will be showing how I sewed the horse, but the same basic instructions apply to all the animals, with just a few variations, which I will specify.

First: Second: Prepare all the individual pieces. -sew the EARS by laying two pieces on top of each other and sewing around the edge. Third: Fourth: Fifth: Easy play dough recipe | NurtureStore. By Cathy James on March 19th, 2012 ** Love play dough? Get your copy of The Homemade Play Dough Recipe Book! ** Nurturestore has lots of articles about fun play dough ideas but I though today I’d get back to basics with an easy play dough recipe master class. I’m often asked for a play dough recipe by people who are trying out home-made play dough for the first time, so I thought I’d post a step-by-step guide to my favourite no cook recipe.

I’ve included some tips and tricks to answer the most common play dough crises and added in some fun ideas for you to try once you’ve mastered the basic play dough recipe to jazz it up a little! Calling it a master class is very tongue-in-cheek: it’s a super easy recipe and even if you’ve never tried making your own play dough before I’m sure you’ll be able to whip up a cordon bleu version. Easy play dough recipe master class I’m going to show you my favourite no cook play dough recipe. Step Two: add in any dry extras such as glitter Step Five: done!

DIY Fabric Tangram with Drawstring Bag. I have to credit my friend Emily with this idea; she has made tangrams out of cardstock, but suggested that since I love fabric, I should make a fabric one for Charlotte. So that's what I did! If you would like to make one too, here's the tutorial! Supplies: fabric scraps batting scraps scissors sewing machine/thread Step 1: Print out the pattern and gather fabric scraps Cut each piece out of the cardstock. Then select a fabric for each piece and trace around the cardstock onto the fabric. Cut two out of the fabric, then cut one out of batting. Step 2: Layer the pieces in this order: fabric, cardstock, batting, fabric Step 3: Stitch around the shape 1/8" from the edge. Repeat this process with all of the shapes. Step 4: Cut out a folded piece of fabric about 10" x 14".

Turn it right sides together and stitch up the sides using a zigzag stitch. Fold the top down 1/4", then another 1". Stitch in place, but leave about 1" open Fasten a safety pin to a piece of ribbon and feed it through the casing. xoxo.
