Wine cork stamps « home sweet homemade. The other night I was sifting through the greeting cards I’ve received through the year to use the pretty fronts for making Christmas tree ornaments. Soon I had a pile of discarded plain backs. Whatever could I do with these to avoid the dreaded recycling bin? Hmm. How about applying some pretty stamped designs? And use them for more Christmas tree ornaments! I’ve been trying to save wine corks for making custom stamp designs, but so far have only accumulated 3. But that’s still enough opportunity for creative expression. I was going for math symbols ( < * = ) but my negative space concept on the = didn’t quite work. I used nail polish for the color application. The uneven surface of the cork makes each transfer slightly unpredictable.

While I had my supplies handy, I used my previously tested household-item stamping tools too. And a button. I particularly like mixing these geometric patterns with other more traditional paper styles for my craft projects. What fun! Sharing with Like this: Sweet DIY Votives | fellowfellow. Here’s what you’ll need: 1. Measure the height and circumference of your jar, and cut strips of fabric to roughly fit (approx. 1cm wide – doesn’t have to be perfect). 2. In your small cup, pour in some glue and dilute it with a bit of water (about 1:2), mix well. It should be the consistency of slightly thicker water.. yes, I know I’m being vague but it shouldn’t make much difference to the end result. 3.

Submerge your first strip of fabric in the glue. Once soaked, lightly run your thumb and forefinger down the strip to get rid of any excess glue. 4. Note: – I find that it’s ok to have fabric going above the top of your jar because it can be easily cut off after it’s dried. – I don’t mind the look of the overlapping lines of fabric once the candle is lit, but if you do try not to overlap the strips in the gluing process. ** Please only use only battery operated tea-lights (not real candles).

How To Tuesday: My Sweet Josephine. 28Jun/11 After seeing Kristin's friendship bracelet giveaway on Idle Wife, I've hauled out my old bracelet books and thread from when I was a kid. Naturally I've been furiously making all sorts of bracelets. After making six friendship bracelets in two days I decided I needed a new pattern. Following an extensive google session I found these beautiful recycled t-shirt bracelets and vowed to make them my own.

And now you can too! Because you should. All you need is... 2 pieces of fabric about 18 x 6 inches Scissors Pliers 2 ribbon clamps (found at Michaels) 2 jump rings 1 clasp Cut 2 pieces of fabric from your t-shirt about 18 x 6 inches. Make a loop with the first scrap and lay it over top of the second. Take that end and alternate weaving it under and over the remaining fabric lengths. Pair up the ends of fabric and wrap it snugly around your wrist. And there you have it! Grandma's Garden- Crayon Art. It's hard to find a good present for our grandma (actually, she's my mom, but Anya's grandma). "I have everything," she says always. Ok, we will not buy a present, we will make it! My mom has a beautiful garden in Russia. She grows everything there: potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, apples, strawberries, black and red currants, gooseberries... and it's not all. Her favorites are flowers.

My mom's birthday is in February. To make a piece of art, we used canvas (12"x12"), crayons (we used 3 boxes to pick only greens), artificial flowers, glue gun and hair drier. Turn canvas upside down so crayons are pointing down. Today I made a little different picture- Fire of Love. His + Her Sharpie Mug DIY. After seeing several projects floating around on Pinterest I decided to try the sharpie method for customizing a pair of his + her mugs (this set is super cute + this one is particularly beautiful). The directions listed on Pinterest kinda seemed too easy to be true... so I did a little testing.

I even tried running them through the dishwasher and here's what I found out... Here's the method: All you need is a sharpie (any color) and a porcelain dish that you want to permanently alter. You can even use super cheap mugs from the dollar store to create gifts or party favors. Just draw on the surface of your mug and bake it for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Allow them to cool completely before washing or using. After I made my dishes I tried scrubbing them with a kitchen sponge and soap. Anyway... that was my fun little weekend project. Instead!

Am I alone in this or do other people suffer the same affliction? My first problem is that I don’t like the color of the sectional.

We had to pick our color from a one inch sample and went with slate gray. It ended up having bluish undertones. This is our couch: But not our house. The sofa is a huge 10′ long so plenty of room for pillows. (Image via) Where do you sit? Anyway, I think I could fit easily fit 5-6 on our couch without it looking crazy. Last year I discovered this pillow from Ikea and became obsessed. Apparently everyone else was too, because it was sold out for months at almost every Ikea location I checked with. I loved it, but it looked terrible sitting there with my gray standard pillows. One pillow that would look great with my couch and the LAPPLJUNG pillow is this one from CB2. You get it, right? Never mind the crappy picture. 1. And 2. Cute, right? I’m not getting all of these. Denzita's "diy" favorite pictures on VisualizeUs.

Cheap Craft Ideas - Inexpensive Crafts. Tea Towel Market Tote Adapted from Clare Youngs’s The Perfect Handmade Bag ($19.95; Cico), this cute carryall requires little more than a pair of small wooden spatulas and two tea towels ($15 each; motherlindas.com). Cut six strips of fabric from one towel. Two, measuring 33⁄4"W x 141⁄4"L each, will serve as the decorative horizontal bands at the top of the tote and should incorporate the towel’s graphics (as shown, left). The other four, measuring 31⁄2"W x 8"L, will form tabs for the bag’s handles.

To make a tab, topstitch one of the long sides of a 31⁄2"W x 8"L strip near the edge. Lay the second towel on a flat surface, right side up. Flip the towel right side down. Fold the towel in half, wrong sides together. DIY: Hair Comb. *UPDATE! See the step-by-step instructions here. This is a super simple project. All you need is a hair comb and embroidery floss. I had a pack of hair combs that I got at Walgreens a long time ago (Like 10 or 12 combs for $4- they still have them). Plus vintage embroidery floss from forever ago. I'm going to keep these old photos up for kicks and giggles. :) But I decided to make another comb and take a few photos.

I wrapped in a V-shape pattern. *Update: Forgot to mention that this layout is from Pugly Pixel. Mason Jar Sewing Kit. Reversible Coffee Cup Sleeves. I’m gonna tell you right now, you can’t throw a rock and not hit a tutorial for a coffee cup sleeve out there on the web. Reversible, not reversible, buttons, Velcro, skinny, wide, you name it. For that matter, you can probably work a pattern out yourself. However, just in case your rock lands here, I’m going to share my version with you. I’ve made a few of these for Christmas and birthday gifts.

You can see the one I made for my grandma here. I also have a few in my Etsy store right now. I made a holiday version for myself, but I realized in the middle of Starbucks last week it’s not Christmas anymore. I was trying to decide which fabrics to use for a new one and my wandering eyes landed on my seasonal fabric stack. To make one, you’ll need this coffee cup sleeve pattern . Cut one from cotton batting, two from ironing board cover fabric and two from cotton fabric. You’ll only need half of the hair tie, so zigzag stitch through the center, about 3/8” long, then clip through the center.
