Sweater boots!! Yay! I started with this: chopped off the sleeves, turned it inside out, and formed it to my foot. Hot glued it to a shoe, like so... flipped it right side out, and cut the bottom off the sweater to make a cuff.. Embroidered it.. Sewed it into a cuff that would flip out over the boot.. And now you have...Sweater boots!! Of course, they're not really meant for cold weather wear, but they'd be perfect in the fall or tromping around the house I'm really quite proud of these. Paper stars- a tutorial | The City Cradle. I have been so blessed by your words of encouragement this week, thanks for being amazing! To make snow for the Christmas in July shoot I used white paper stars, they looked just perfect strung from a tree above our table. You can purchase the stars here in many different sizes and colors.
Their creator Lisa has been so sweet to share her tutorial- so that you can make them for your own events, YAY! Make your own paper stars: Take 4 strips of paper equal in length. Fold each downward folded tail onto itself creating a point. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to remaining 3 folded tails.Repeat Steps 3, 4 and 5 to remaining 4 straight tails.To create top and bottom points, fold each tail towards the right and tuck into the frontward tail.When you have done this 8 times, your star will have 8 tails that will need to be trimmed.
Trim each tail and your star is complete! PS. London Design Festival 2010: Julika Welge's Growing & Repairable Felt Carpet. Image Credit: Julika Welge Here is an interesting idea for a rug made of pieces of felt. We stumbled upon Julika Welge's Growing Carpet at this year's Designersblock at the London Design Festival, where the bright colours and the rich texture first caught our eyes. Then we realised that this carpet is made of single identical parts that allow you to shape the rug to your likings. You can order the number of pieces and colour combinations you desire to create your own carpet. With this technique, additional fasteners or backing and glues are unnecessary, which makes this rug an easily recyclable product.
What we also like is that this rug is easily repairable, by simply replacing only the damaged or dirty parts. Check out Welge's web site for more eco-designs. Poppytalk. Craftgawker | look to inspire.
