Supplies: Clean, empty can Rit dye (mine was in sunshine orange) Plain tags Spoon to stir Hot water Paper towel Mix a tablespoon of the dye with a cup of very hot tap water. Lay the can down on the paper towel. Do the same but dip it until the dye reaches about 1/2 inch beneath where the top line is. You can see in this image the difference between the harsh line and the soft line. Continue, dipping the tag progressively less and less into the dye. Let dry, personalize, and attach to a gift!
How to make an easy and stylish paint chip mobile for your nursery. Supplies: Wooden knitting ring Assorted paint chip samples in colors of your choosing Spray adhesive (optional) Circle punch Sewing machine Tape Punch out piles of circles from your paint chips samples. I had about 20 circles in each of the 5 colors. Paint chips are one-sided so you’ll have to either glue two together or sew them together when you’re making your strings of circles.
Sewing them together when you’re making your strings of colors proved to make more sense to me. Line them up in piles next to your machine the way you’d like them to hang from the mobile. Hold them together and run a running stitch through the middle on your machine making sure to start with plenty of string at the beginning since we’ll be using that string to tie it to the mobile when we’re done. Remove the inner section of the wooden knitting ring (by loosening the knob). Cut four pieces of string or fishing wire, tie and tape them evenly around the circle as well. Cupcake Liner Gift Toppers | Family Chic by Camilla Fabbri. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2011 | Comments: 25 10 cupcake liners, a stapler, a pair of scissors and a few minutes are all you need to make this simple gift topper.
Flatten out and stack 10 cupcake liners – staple them together at the center. I used two different colored liners and alternated front and back. Fold in half. Make evenly spaced apart cuts into liners to fray the edges. Pull apart liners and shape into a semi-circle. Glue or tape onto box. Quilled Snowflake Ornament. Today I have a big fat tutorial to share with you. It looks really really scary and detailed, but it’s not so bad. Trust me. I’ll hold your hand through the whole thing. I’ve made a ton of these over the years and they never fail to elicit oohs and aahs. This is a perfect application for quilling. Snowflakes are best when they’re all scroll-y and complicated, and that’s when quilling is at its best too. You just need to remember that it’s only rolled up paper, and break it down to each little piece.
Cut a bunch of 1/4″ strips from a piece of 12 x 12 cardstock. From those thin strips, here’s what you need to cut 1 – 6″ strip for the center round 8 – 3″ strips for the arms 4 – 6″ strips for the scrolls 4 – 3″ strips for the teardrop 4 – 2″ strips for the marquis You’ll need some kind of a quilling tool, which you can find at Michael’s in the stamping aisle, or you can just make your own by cutting the top off of a needle with a pair of tin snips or wire cutters.
Next let’s make the scrolls. » How to Make a Fabric Bow | Tutorial » Whipperberry. How About Orange. My 2014 Oscar ballot and bingo game are done!

For quite some time companies and governments have been working hard to make daily life things available as digital services in whatever way possible to speed processes up and cut costs.

Design*Sponge » Blog Archive » welcome julia and how to make a repeat pattern. Hello hello. thank you Grace for having me this week!
I am very excited to be here. Besides introducing you to some cool artists, giving sneak peeks and before and afters of some friends homes, and sharing my favorite new product finds, I thought it would be nice to share some of the things I have learned along the way of being a illustrator/pattern designer. One of the questions I frequently get emailed is -how do you make a repeat pattern? I thought it would be fun today to do a little tutorial showing you how simple it is even with a very complex drawing. On a clean piece of paper draw a design in the middle of your paper without letting any of the drawing touch the edges- this is very important. Once you finish the middle space as much as you want you are going to cut your drawing in half- scary I know- but that’s why computers are helpful.
Next you are going to cut your drawing in half again the other way- (yikes!) And here’s my finished design: A Geek's Yarn by ageeksyarn. Tea Light Lamps (an Easy Last-Second Gift) With a paper band, mark and measure the upper and lower diameters, and the height of the glass. Add 5mm to each length. In your favorite drawing software (e.g. OpenOffice Draw), create a trapeze of measured sizes to mark the borders, and import a picture of your choice. Size it to fit into the trapeze. Personally, since I only had tracing paper on hand, and after some trials, I choose some black/white Japaneses patterns: tracing paper prints best with a laser printer (with inkjet, it will form a roll when still wet). The contrast is maximum, with lots of black areas (which will give a more intimate atmosphere); tracing paper is a great diffuser on white areas.
Bubble Wrap Calendar. Universal Wrapping Paper. Untitled. Untitled. This perfect-for-summer project comes from brenna berger at paper + ink. she documents her amazingly clever custom invitation designs on her blog, so when it comes to paper it’s no surprise that she’s full of ideas. i love the simple, modern feel of these, and the fact that they cost next to nothing to make. on an semi-related note, i recently decided to have a movie marathon of all corporate “must make it big in nyc” movies from the eighties (wall street, secret of my success, working girl…you get the drift), but now i am definitely not going to start it until i have some paper and a thumbtack ready:) thanks, brenna!

Untitled. Paint chip greeting cards | Chica and Jo. Like most of you, I’m sure, I tend to go through a lot of paint chips when trying to decide on a color to paint a room. And when the project is done, I toss the paint chips into a box I keep in my craft room. They are the perfect “I’ll use these one day” items, right? Well I stumbled upon the box a few days ago and realized just how many I’d collected over the years. Oh the memories this pile brings back! There are the numerous shades of tan that I went through when painting the kitchen. The blues and purples that I considered for the master bedroom and the greens we ended up with.
And the rainbow samples from a toy chest project. No matter how I got this collection, I knew it was time to finally do something with them. Can you believe those were made from plain white cardstock and boring old paint chips? First I cut some ordinary 8.5″ x 11″ white cardstock in half crosswise, then folded it. For the green card, I cut all my green paint chips into strips of random widths. Wall-E Art. Pop Up Card . Just Piece of Paper .

Snowflake Cards. A little monster loves you... We're well past Christmas now, and the present has been delivered, so now I can share it! I didn't have a whole lot of money this year for Christmas, but this Christmas I have a fiance! Darned if I wasn't going to do something special, so I decided to make something myself, out of something that's just about as cheap as it gets... paper!! I spent my lunchbreak over a week cutting this out by hand, with a fairly crappy xacto knife. It's a little bit hard to read, but at the top it says "N&J" (Niamh and Jonathan) surrounded by little hearts, and then it says "A little Monster Loves you So". I hung it in a floating glass frame I got for sale at Michaels. It's a little joke between us that I'm his little monster.
The little monster in the cut out is wearing the slippers. Here's a shot of it with fun shadows on his office wall... Needless to say, he loved it. Upcycled Magazine Pages turn into a Pretty Picture.

Paper Filigree Snowflake Gallery. I've switched over to using acid free paper and glue to make my paper filigree snowflake ornaments now. I figure there's no sense in putting this much work into something that might fall apart in a few years, and with practice, they're starting to get pretty enough that I'm planning to make quite a few of them. In my search for paper that will hold up over time, I was looking for archival quality paper, but there wasn't much available that wasn't too thick, or too yellow. I visited all sorts of art, craft, scrapbook, and office supply stores in my paper quest, but the pickings were pretty slim for archival paper in shades of silver and white, so I went with mostly acid free paper and will see how it holds up.
The pictures don't show it very clearly, but the snowflake above on the right has both white and off white, and it adds an interesting antique look, or at least I thought so until my kids mentioned the old joke about not eating the yellow snow. Pop up flower - Arte e Creazione. Ruby Slippers/Wicked Witch Bookmark - POTTERY, CERAMICS, POLYMER CLAY. Hooray! My first project in the polyclay board! I was reading "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" and had this idea for a funny bookmark I'm sure someone else has to have had this idea before, but I couldn't find it via google, so I had to make one.
The legs are formed of polyclay, but I had to paint em white after baking because they turned brown in the oven :/ Oh well... Then I painted the rest of the details with acrylic inks. I could have made a more awesome bookmark part of the bookmark, but it was late last night, and I couldn't be bothered... Hi ho, the witch is dead! Thanks for looking. Origami roses.
