Learn how to screenprint your own t-shirts. Make the buckle parts. Use sand paper to remove any coating on a section of coat hanger. To help speed up the process I spun a piece in my drill press. CAUTION! If you do it this make sure to hold the wire before you turn the drill on. Otherwise the section of wire will turn into a whip / weed wacker. Lay the wire against the belt you plan to use. Take more wire and make another rectangle. To make the loops, which will attaché the adjusting part of the buckle, cut out a strip of copper.
Resin « My Girl Thursday. Yesterday I got my order of resin in from Currys. I was so happy because it’s nearly impossible to find epoxy resin here in Peterborough. Anyway, I got four packages that came out to be a half a gallon of the good stuff. After last night I only have half of it left. After tonight I will probably have none. Anyway, here’s what my table looked like last night. I’ll share more when I have them all finished up! Another Bias Tape Tutorial. Honestly, I'll stop banging on about these bias tape gizmos eventually.... but I HAVE to let you know this trick. When you want to make a simple button closure for a bag (or garment) and you don't have matching cord or braid for the loop, do you go to the trouble of making rouleaux? I don't. I do THIS!!!........ 1. Following the instructions in the 6mm "Clover" Bias Tape Maker packet (or this tutorial), make a length of tape - BUT YOU CAN CUT IT ON THE STRAIGHT GRAIN IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT EASIER TO SEW!!!
2. Fold the tape in half lengthwise and press it again, keeping all the raw edges of fabric on the inside. 3. 4. 5. Voila! You can also use the larger sized bias tape makers for larger button loops.
