Felting Project: A Rug! | Family Style - StumbleUpon

http://blogs.babble.com/family-style/2010/12/29/wow-can-you-believe-this-rug-is-made-from-stripes-of-felt/ This is the most beautiful felt project we’ve seen. Strips of felt are wrapped around each other with hot glue to create this amazing swirled effect. What a great project for a snowed-in weekend and a movie marathon with the family. The kids could even help cut strips and decide on color combination while you operate the hot glue gun. Would you attempt something like this? Keep reading to see more pictures and find out where to find more details about this beautiful felt project!

As many of you requested, Marie is sharing a little tutorial here on how she made her lampshades. When she made them she was not planning on doing a tutorial for this blog, so be sure to thank her for taking the time to write all this out. Also, for those wondering…Kara will be sharing some tutorials for her book art on her blog soon. Marie is happy to do custom orders for those that prefer buying over making! * LAMPSHADE – Hobby Lobby carries self-adhesive shades & nightlights, Target has some smaller lamps for $19 that would be perfect for this project, I’ve found some lamps & shades on Craigslist. The simpler the shape of the lamp, the easier this project will be http://ashleyannphotography.com/blog/2010/11/24/guest-post-marie-darby-diy-photo-lampshades/

Make-up Magnet Board

http://laurathoughts81.blogspot.com/2011/03/make-up-magnet-board.html We all know with craft blogs that original ideas are often hard to come by, we find ideas we love and make them our own but we didn't come up with the idea ourselves. I feel like I've finally done something original here and I'm excited about it. I'll show you the finished product and then explain. Behold my Make-up Magnet Board . I have a friend who is beautiful and stylish and has always loved make-up but recently took a course that intensified her love.
