Salute to Cute: Backpack - Denim scraps. Difficulty: Cost: depending on what you have in your fabric stash How cool is this backpack?! This is another Ali creation in my attempts to use up my massive stash of denim pant legs, left over from many, many pairs of shorts. Denim is a great, tough material and I thought, what better to make from lovely strong fabric, but a backpack! This bag really doesn't take as much fabric as you might expect; I was able to make it entirely from pieces out of my scrap basket. It took one pair of jeans (after you've taken away the top for a pair of shorts) worth of denim, but I used two different coloured pant legs, one slightly darker than the other.
Then I used a brown pleather fabric for the base and handle as I wanted it to be nice and strong, however more denim would work perfectly well if you can't afford pleather. You only need a tiny amount of floral contrast, so it's a perfect way to use up something from your scrap basket. Materials: 1x pair of jeans 2x zips floral fabric lining fabric Tools: Scissors. How to cut glass. 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.

Puff stitch hat pattern Moved here ♥ at 9:30 AM Labels: crafts, diy, hat pattern, pattern, puff stitch pattern, purple hair Newer PostOlder PostHome. Do-it-yourself jewelry storage « Monaluna. Okay, yes, I’m on a storage kick these days. Have I mentioned that our house is kind of small? With very few surfaces on which to put stuff? I bought a much-needed jewelry box the other day, and when I got it home I realized there was no place to put it. Seriously. I started by measuring out the layout, considering the length of the necklaces I had, how many earring hooks I wanted, and where I wanted the mesh screen placed. Then I screwed in the hooks, staggering the earring hooks and necklace hooks so that they wouldn’t interfere. I made a little box for post earrings and rings out of the scrap molding, and glued it together with gorilla glue and clamps.
I glued the plywood backing to the frame using the gorilla glue, and then painted the whole thing white. Labels: there are no tags for this entry. Diy: Braided Bead Necklace. I couldn't have predicted so many jewelry posts. What can I say? I get on kicks. I saw a necklace like this in a store but it was shorter and the braid contained different kinds of beads. I wanted it longer with one type of bead. Tada, the braided bead necklace. An amount of beads, it's hard to say how many, I used about 4 more beads than this jar holds.
Just get more than you'll think you need, this is the best I can tell you.Chain, about 20"-22" depending on the length you want.Jump rings, 2 large and 2 small (or medium, they're easier than small, though less discrete) Clasp, 1 (see note at bottom)Bead tips, 6Scissors and pliersHeavy thread, I used grey upholstery weight thread, probably 2 yards worthCREATING THE BEAD STRANDSCut 6 pieces of thread at about 10" or so in length (much longer than you'll need, but this makes it safer - and safety first) and thread onto each string 5.5" of beads. Next, take two strands of beads and thread the two threads through one bead tip. Packing Tape Image Transfers. I love image transfers. It’s something I’m always using in my journals but there are so many other fun uses for them.
All you need to make a transfer is a photocopy of an image or words and packing tape. You can also use printouts from a laser printer or magazine pages. Inkjets will not work because they are not heat based toner. First, take a strip of packing tape and place it over the images you want to transfer: Then use the back of your scissors or the side of your fingernail to make sure the tape is adhered firmly: Next, dip the tape and paper into a bowl of water to wet the back: Using your fingers, start to rub off the paper from the back of the tape: Like magic….your image is left behind on the tape! I like to use the transfers to wrap special letters before I mail them.
It’s like having custom tape: Another idea is to take a small canvas and use the images for artwork: I used a paint brush to add craft paint to bubble wrap to use it as a stamp: I just used my hand to press it down: Cables. 46 Ideas For DIY Jewelry You'll Actually Want To Wear.

DIY // Wire Wrapped Bow Ring — Bettina's Blog - Something handmade. DIY: How to Make a Bow Ear Cuff. The other day when I was looking around Etsy, I found this awesome ear cuff and I had to try to figure out how to make it.
