Yes, you can indeed shave the pills off of your sweaters and jackets and any other article of clothing that is pill-y. Pilly? Is that a word? And there's really nothing to it. ***EDIT EDIT! We started with the top part of this jacket… look at how clean it is! Enjoy your pill-less life! EDIT— yes… I know you could just buy an electric pill shaver thing. P.S.- I made this...

By Wilma « By Wilma. Easter DIY | Tic Tac Toe Game. My apologies for posting this so late! I had wanted to share this before Easter but time got away from me. Maybe it's a crafty DIY you can make on Easter day! (You could also try all kinds of variations with holidays and special events!) Without further ado, here is my Easter Tic Tac Toe game tutorial! What you'll need: a wood plaque (I got mine from Michael's for 99 cents)polymer clayacrylic paints in Easter colorsexacto knifepaint brushessandpaper or sanding block Tip: You can make this kid-friendly by swapping the polymer clay for Crayola Magic (no baking required) Start by sanding painting your wood plaque so it's smooth and won't leave splinters. Once your plaque dries, it's time to add the Tic Tac Toe squares. Roll out some white clay into a 1/2 inch thick log.

Roll each piece into a ball. Next, pinch 1/2 of the pieces at the top (these will be your bunnies). Roll out a smaller log about 1/4 inch thick. Roll out each ball and flatten. Once they're baked and cooled, it's time to paint! Little Gray Fox. A Work in Progress. Craft & Creativity | Inredning, inspiration, pyssel, fotografering.

Collars and embellished collars have been making their rounds on the internet and blogs for the past couple of years now.

I think we can point our fingers at Miu Miu and their pretty kitty & swallow collars for starting the trend. But because I thought I saw so many refashioned collars and collar necklaces floating around, I purposely did not do a DIY for one. You know I don’t like to be a copycat. Apparently however, a Look 4 Less reader was on the hunt for a DIY embellished collar and couldn’t find any that suited her. *NOTE* Once embellished, your shirt will have to be dry-cleaned or carefully hand-washed and hung dry. Here’s What You’ll Need… * A blouse with a nice collar. . * Faux pearls in 2-3 sizes. . * Needle/Thread/Scissors Steps… * First, visually lay out your largest pearls or precious findings. . * Using medium sized pearls or beads, begin filling in the spaces in between. . * Adding large, medium, and small beads, pearls, and rhinestones gives it depth and texture. Voila! Have Fun! Atreborhobby.
