Fotografía DIY: Seis cámaras de papel. Cada día surgen miles de cámaras y dispositivos que nos ofrecen no solo la posibilidad de hacer fotografías, sino de mejorar nuestras tomas con tan solo unos clics. A la par, un pequeño pero sustancioso grupo de personas se han volcado hacia la fotografía análoga con el fin de lograr efectos como los que nos ofrecen aplicaciones como Instagram, pero con el verdadero efecto que ejerce la luz sobre la película fotosensible. Con el objetivo de mostrarles lo sencilla (y hermosa) que puede ser la fotografía, hemos compilado una lista de 6 cámaras de papel que reflejan la pureza de éste arte. Casi todas las cámaras de la lista se pueden descargar e imprimir de manera gratuita y en el tiempo que tardan en leer este artículo, pueden agregar una nueva cámara a su colección sin pagar un solo centavo.

Pugly Pixel’s DIY Calling Cards. Greetings, Glitter Girls! It’s Katrina from Pugly Pixel. I’m happy to share an easy tutorial that will show you how to make your own confetti calling cards. Last year, my friend Margaret from Paper Pastries wrote a post about DIY Calling Cards made with a customizable stamp kit (you know — those stamp kits that are sold at office supply stores like Staples and Office Depot).

Her cards turned out adorably, so I decided to follow suit and make my own using supplies I already had on hand: business card-sized glassine envelopes and colorful tissue paper. Here’s how you can make your own: 1. If want something a bit more “bling-y” than tissue paper, you can substitute sequins or glitter! Welcome to Our Shop. DIY Scrap Paper Light. Would you believe that this amazing artichoke-like light is made from scrap paper, a rice paper lantern, and glue? I know – pretty awesome, right? Graphic designer, Gabrielle Guy, created this stunning light for a friend using an old leftover lantern and a bunch of scrap paper that she had on hand.

The project cost next to nothing, but the result is something that looks like a million bucks! Check out more details about the project, including “in progress” shots, over at Design*Sponge, and I’ll stay here and ponder all of the ideas that this fantastic project is giving me. images from Design*Sponge / Gabrielle Guy.

Cómo hacer copos de nieve de papel de 5 puntas. Hace un tiempo ya os enseñamos una divertida manualidad de Navidad: copos de nieve. ¿Os acordáis? En ese post, preparamos copos de nieve con palitos de helado y botones, para decorar el árbol de Navidad. Hoy os traemos otra simpática idea: copos de nieve de papel. Seguro que sabéis que para hacer copos de nieve de papel lo que tenéis que hacer es doblar y cortar el papel de determinadas maneras que dan lugar a diferentes copos de papel. en la foto de arriba podéis ver diferentes copos de nieve de papel que varían según el plegado. El segundo y el tercer copo de nieve de papel son estrellas de 5 puntas, y podéis descargar las instrucciones aquí.

Aunque están en inglés veréis que son fáciles de seguir. Este de abajo es otro ejemplo de una estrella de 8 puntas, algo más difícil de hacer por la cantidad de pliegues del papel que hacen difícil cortar.

You should all know by now that we are all about stacking bracelets on our wrists. The more, the better. In fact . . . the most, the best! With that being said, we’ll show you how to master a version of the ever so popular wrap bracelet. It’s so simple and addicting, you’ll soon be churning out these wristlets with your eyes closed. Clearly this arm party train isn’t stopping and it’s about time you get on board!

You’ll need (for a double wrapped bracelet) :* Lengths will vary depending on the size of your wrist (see comments for suggestions). Fold the length of leather cording in half to form a loop. Place the ball chain along the leather cording with the end of the chain meeting the end of the wrap. Continue wrapping while checking it for fit around the wrist. When you have reached the end of the ball chain wrap the linen cording around the leather strands 2-3 more times.

Thread the hex nut through the strands and tie a second knot. Trim with scissors and your wrap bracelet is finished!! D.I.Y. DIY Box Braid Necklace. The moment we saw Phillip Lim‘s Box Braid Collar Necklace, we were immediately overcome with a wave of nostalgia. Our memories of a neon, plastic box braid lanyard was suddenly transformed into a sophisticated leather jewelry component. Honestly, brilliant! Inspired by our fondness of Lim’s necklace and our love of utilizing hardware, we made our own interpretation of a box braid necklace. And in case you forgot how to make your favorite childhood summertime craft, take a trip down memory lane with us! Start by cutting the suede in 4 three-yard pieces. Repeat the box braid until you are ready to add washers to the necklace. Once the necklace is finished, trim the ends. Wear it as a necklace, wrap bracelet or even a headband!
