Heart Tree Carving Embroidery Pattern & Tutorial | The Modern Lady. Iron Craft Challenge #5: Be Mine Let me start by saying that Valentine’s Day craft projects are the best. With all that pink and red, what’s there not to love? When I read that this week’s Iron Craft challenge was to make a Valentine for someone special in your life, I thought it’d be the perfect opportunity to try out a new project I’d been dreaming up. To check out other entries from this week, visit the Iron Craft Flickr group.
My inspiration comes from the following two items: I adore this pillow cover from cozyblue’s Etsy shop. I combined my love for both to come up with this embroidered heart tree carving ”picture”. First, start by printing out my tree pattern. Trace or draw the image on to some embroidery fabric using a washable fabric pen. Stitch the pattern onto the fabric using your choice of embroidery floss. When you are done stitching on your pattern, make sure to remove any sign of the fabric pen pattern. Cut off the excess material. Happy (early) Valentine’s Day!!! Create the Perfect Sign for Your Craft Room. Do you have a craft room?
I recently revamped our office into a craft room, and I’m excited to decorate it! We kept the walls pretty minimal in color because I want to use a bunch of color in the decorations. I recently made this sign: “Make Stuff”! I love the saying “make stuff”, because isn’t that what a craft room is for?! Supplies for Make Stuff Sign: a big plastic gold oval frame – think “thrift store chic”a big piece of thin Styrofoama Styrofoam cutting tool (this thing is awesome!) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

I wanted some nice sconces for my guest bath downstairs. I looked high and low and couldn’t find anything I wanted and the ones I did like were about $20 a piece….story of my life. I couldn’t bring myself to spend $40 on 2 sconces for the guest bath. A few weeks back I was strolling the Dollar Tree trying to see if there was anything that I could fashion into a sconce.
Anyway let us continue. I walked back into the Dollar Tree and grabbed 2 bags of decorative stones, glass tealight candle holders, a pack of glue sticks and some sponge brushes for $6. I already has some wood at the house and some dark brown paint. We had a wood board that was 1/2 inch thick. Once the paint dried I nailed the picture handing hardware to the back, top part of the larger rectangles. Then hot glued the small bottom piece onto the back. Using a hot glue gun, glue the candle holder to the bottom in the center, add a candle and ur done!

I posted a picture about 1 week ago on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter of me cutting glass using just string. I got LOT’S of requests for a tutorial on how I DID THIS! So here it is. FINALLY! You will be able to learn how to cut glass. I want to warn you. It’s best to triple your yarn because it will burn longer! Soak it GOOD! I like to tie my yarn where I want my glass to “cut” then quickly pour polish remover over the string again. Get a big bowl with ice and water ready. VERY IMPORTANT! Slowly turn your bottle. You can’t let the flame go OUT then dunk it in the ice water. YAY!!! I reallly hope you enjoyed this tutorial because I had ALOT of requests for it! © Copyright jaderbombllc, All rights Reserved. DIY Thread LED Tealight Cover. I was messing around with different materials trying to dress up a little LED tealight, and this is one of the versions I ended up liking (plus it’s dirt cheap since it’s just thread!).
I love me some textures. This may be useful for those with wedding venues that don’t allow real flames. Finding these* at the dollar store is what started this mess… 1) Get your hands on some thin cardboard that you’ll be recycling anyway. I used the back of a pasta box. 2) Find some wrapping plastic (try to use something you’ll toss anyway!) 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 13. You can make different sizes and shapes.

Mrs. Location: Sacramento Occupation: Tea Analyst Wedding Date: August 2008 Venue: Vineyard on the Delta. Weekend DIY: Yarn Bowl. Two weeks ago, while discussing DIY ideas about our No New Gifts Christmas I mentioned a lovely yarn bowl that I wanted to make. Most of you know how much I value hand work be it just for the sake of mental health and the feeling of accomplishment. In a mostly virtual and fast-paced world, one of the most precious acts is working with your hands to create practical objects that can be touched.
So, of course I didn't waste much time and dived happily at the project together with my daughter in the first moment available. Yes, this is a great project to work on with children and teenagers, and it requires a maximum of 40 minutes. The thing I like most about this project is that it is totally eco-friendly and should I even use the very fashionable word biodegradable?
I made some slight changes to the original pattern, which I would like to share. 1/2 cup of flour4 cups of water3 tablespoons of sugarscrap yarn in the color of your choicebowl to use as a moldsaran wrap or plastic bag. Sling magazine rack. It seems I have a clutter problem. Previously it was piles of mail; this time it’s piles of magazines. Riffing on the form and function of my last post, the mail basket, I thought the same construction techniques could be used for a magazine rack. I swear to you, though, I will not use this style again next month for a laundry basket! — Matt See the full how-to after the jump . . .

Las Vegas Wedding Photographers Videographers Megan Ruth Stay MegRuth Photo + Video Blog: How To: DIY Pendant Lights. NOTICE: The video is working again! Moving into a new house is expensive, not just because we bought it but because of all the stuff we have to get for it. I'd been pining for a few pendant lamps for a while but with a budget of almost nothing and needing three lights, a $200/light purchase was not going to work. I found a sweet light idea in Do It Yourself Magazine by Better Homes and Gardens. My mom forked over her Mason Ball Jars in blue and Sir Luke and I got to work.

HOW TO: DIY Pendant Lights from megruth on Vimeo . Guest Project -- Make DIY Painted Mason Jars. Wine cork bath mat. Inspired by CB2's bamboo bath mat I’m evidently on a hot-glue kick lately. This bath mat requires just three materials: shelf liner, hot glue, and 175 wine corks. How did I gather 175 wine corks, you ask? Working at Sunset had its perks. With all the wine tastings in that office, collecting corks was a cinch.
So far, I’ve made a wine cork trivet with them and now this cork bath mat. It was inspired by CB2’s bamboo bath mat, which is perfectly lovely and affordable but too big for my tiny bathroom, hence this equally eco-friendly version. Yeah, but how durable is it, you say?

By craftyamy | Does anyone have the obsession with books that I do? I have a huge collection – I’m a classics reader personally. Jane Austen completely does it for me!

I wanted to make one myself but I needed a project that was quick, simple and inexpensive. I also wanted to make something colourful and cute, rather than traditional.
I like glittery things as much as the next girl, but I’m slowly trying to get away from red, green and gold and make our decorations more bright and colourful. I think bright suits us better. I think it suits our hot, summery Australian Christmases better too. This simple little wreath was inspired by this wreath made by Pip and this wreath made by James (with these yarn wrapped letters). What does your wreath look like? About Katie Katie is a coffee-drinking, granny square-making, op-shopping daydreamer. Rope Vases. A quick and fun project. Bottle (w)rap. I drink a lot of wine. And end up with a lot of empty wine bottles that are oh so pretty, it breaks my heart to have to junk them with the raddi- walla. I've been trying to find all sorts of utility excuses to hang on to them - wate bottles, plant holders and what have you. And now I have the perfect non-utility excuse to collect some more!
Used: Coloured raffia from Le Papier Empty clearglass wine bottles (Sula Zinfandel -which is incidentally my personal favourite) Heavy duty glue (I have this stick of industrial glue that solidifies when it cools but I guess Fevicol would do as well) Starting at the bottom (cos the top's a bit tricky) starting winding the raffia tightly around the bottle, pausing to add a bit of adhesive every now and then.
Edited to add: A couple of months later some more string arrived. And about half a dozen wine bottles later, here's what happened: Saturday morning! Hello sweeties! I had the morning to myself and didn't want to go outside, so I've decided to make something beautiful! I have been seeing these wonderful vases made of lamp bulbs all over pinterest for some time now. They looked so appealing! However, I stopped using this kind of bulbs years ago and the new ones (CFL) contain mercury and they are totally unsuitable for the task!
In fact they should never ever, I mean EVER break. (in case they do by accident learn what you need to do to stay safe here and here). Yesterday, I discovered that the last remaining traditional bulb I had in my balcony, had died and thought of giving this tutorial a try. It was a bit harder than I thought to take all the glasses and inside parts of the lamp out, mostly because my bulb was really small. I think I love my new vase!!!
