Scripture Cover. I know I made this same tutorial last year but I improved it a bit by adding a button and elastic fastener to keep it together better. It is one of the first tutorials I created so it’s is pretty dear to my heart. It is a simple… Not a case necessarily… Just a cover with handles to make it easier to tote around. And, I think it’s pretty. :) I used an LDS quadruple combination but you can use this for any size book, bible, etc. Let’s get started. Materials: About 1/2 yard of canvas material 1/4 yard of cotton {or similar} liner fabric scissors and rotary cutter (rotary cutter not necessary but very very nice to have} iron sewing machine contrasting or matching thread pins!
1. Main cover piece: 8 1/2 inches by 15 inches I cut 1 liner piece and two canvas pieces. Side Pockets: 4 1/4 by 8 1/2 inches. They will become the sleeves that you slide the cover of the book into. Strap pieces: canvas piece 2 1/2 inches wide by 46 inches long liner piece: about 1 1/2 inch wide by 46 inches long Straps: Then sew. You knew i was going to make one. They are all over pinterest.... (i still am not signed up for pinterest because i don't have time for one more thing but browsing is fun!) So we made one. i took a box of 64 crayons and took out the blacks and browns.i used another small box and doubled up on the good colors i liked and hot glued them to the top of our canvas. then we turned our blow dryer to hot on high. not long after you set the hair dryer by the crayons they get shiny and then the wax starts to melt!

How to Weave a Paper Ball Ornament. When I was in Thailand, I would see the local people weave palm leaves into beautiful bowls, fans, balls and other amazing things. I asked my aunt if she knew how to make these things and she gave me a book that was all in Thai. I don't know how to read Thai, I can barely speak it. Somehow after a week of fumbling around with strips of paper, I managed to decode the pictures and figure it out. Here is my tutorial for you, it is not in Thai, and hopefully it won't take you weeks to make.
Part 1 (Four strand braid) Part 2 (Paper weaving) Crafts | DIY and Handmade Ideas - CraftGossip.com. Paper Lantern Ornaments. Want a cute, simple decoration that you can make in minutes? These paper lanterns are perfect for the upcoming holiday season or as an everyday decoration! What a great way to add color to a room or to your holiday table :) Make a bunch and string them together as a garland, or put a bunch in a bowl, or in a hurricane glass in a bathroom or guestroom. You could also mail them (flat, before unfolding them ;)) to a friend as a fun "Merry Christmas" gift with quick instructions on how to unfold them. I decided to use holiday paper, but was thinking these would also be fun as everyday decorations with leftover scraps of scrapbooking paper or found/vintage paper.
What you'll need: - Paper - enough to cut 15 strips - ½"x4" (7.5"x4") - 2 small brads - Ruler, 1/16" hole punch or pushpin to poke holes, exacto blade or rotary cutter and a cutting mat 1. 2. 3. (Back) 4. 5. 6. These would make a great garland - I strung a few together and they looked fabulous! How About Orange. Sweet DIY Votives. 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).
