Halloween: Box O' Popcorn Costume. I took a box, painted it white. Then I painted red stripes, leaving a spot to make the circle (I used a pan lid to make the circle). I cut holes out for his head and arms (cut the flaps off the open end of the box where the legs come out). I painted in the words POPCORN, popped some popcorn and hot glued it to the top of the box (while I watched TV) and to a cheap baseball cap.

Crafty Friday. This craft project was inspired by something almost identical I saw in a fancy shop here in NYC. It cost almost $500, and I thought to myself, "hey, I can make that". And so I did! Start by printing out butterflies. I found mine online, simply google butterfly prints and millions comes up. Cut them out. Hot-glue or super-glue a small branch to a vintage saucer. Fold the butterflies a little, so they look more alive and simple hot-glue them all to the branches. Photos by Alexandra Grablewski.

Thanks again, Julia, for having us here today! Geometric Paint Chip Art. Print on Fabric with an Inkjet Printer. By Andrew Lewis Sometimes I have a great idea for a textile project, but I get put off by the thought of trawling through the seemingly endless bolts of fabric at the store. Then I think about the hassle of haggling over the price and ending up with three times as much fabric as I actually needed. I decided to try printing my own fabric on an inkjet printer, and the results really exceeded my expectations. The advantages to this technique are tremendous, and I don’t have to haggle over prices any more. I get my own designs, in the quantity I need, at a fraction of the price I would normally pay.
The only drawback is that people keep asking me to print something special for them, too!
