The DIY: FISHTAIL FRIENDSHIP (BRACELET) If you know how to do a fishtail braid to your hair, then you pretty much know how to make this bracelet. But for those of you who don't know about the fishtail and those of you who are curious about the logistics of my specific bracelet, well, read on! You will need embroidery/ friendship thread in various colors, some tape and a bead! I used 9 strands of thread in 9 different colors. You could do this with only 2 different colors or whatever color variety you want. My strands were about 3 feet long each. Gather them together and fold them in half. I twisted this top part so it doesn't get all tangled later. Where you twisted the top part, tie it around your finger. Then tie a knot. I'm now taking one of the strands and tying it around the other, almost like a tie. Then pull the end through the loop you've created and pull into a knot.
Tape the top down to keep the bracelet stable. Star by grabbing one color from the right side and pulling it to the middle. And another knot... DIY Wood-Grain Laptop Wrap. When I was wandering through the dollar store the other day I came across this super amazing wood-grain contact paper. and was completely smitten! I knew I needed to find something to cover it with - pronto! Enter, my lapytop. This poor beast is old, makes a crazy fan-sound whenever it's on, and can't really handle doing more than one tast - but it works! And that's all that really counts. Until this morning it was covered in all sorts of bumper stickers to hide the numerous dents and scratches. But after a some scraping, a little goo-be-gone and a date with some contact paper - it's unique and cute again and makes me smile! So, I had plenty of photos of the entire process, but my camera is also an old and quirky beast and has taken to randomly deleting photos, which it decided to do half-way through the whole DIY process, so sorry!
So, to start, go ahead and power off your laptop and take out the battery so you're free to work on it without any worries. Crown Hill: Friendship Ear Buds. I first saw this idea on pinterest, and loved the look! Anie, of SassyBudsz, has opened an etsy shop selling friendship ear buds. Check out her shop here. SassyBudsz also has a blog and a facebook page. Check it out! This craft brought me back to making friendship bracelets on warm, sunny days at family camp. All you really need is some string, and ear buds. To get started: tie the string onto the end of the cord with a knot.
Step 1: Bring the string under the ear bud cord leaving a loop on the right for your hand to fit through. Step 2: Reach through the loop, grab the ball of string, and pull it through. Step 3: Pull the string tight against the cord, as you can see in the next two pictures: It's as easy as that! Here are the multi-colored Sassy Budsz that Anie sent me in the mail. FIKS*D: How to Make ... Washi Tape! Are you like me and just can't bring yourself to spend a lot of money on things that even though they are really pretty, will probably just sit there for ages without use?
I've always loved the look of washi tape but find it so expensive and hard to justify. So, I decided to get creative and make my own.. All you need is some double sided tape and tissue paper! Too easy! DIY Wrap Headphones | I got the idea to make these from the DIY wrap bracelets I made a little while ago. These headphones were all white before, and since I had the coloured string left over from the bracelet tutorial, I decided to try it! To start off, take the string and tie a knot with it around one of the wires. You can use one colour, or as many colours as you want. Once you have the knot set, start wrapping. Make sure you have a lot of string because you don’t want to run out halfway down the wire and have to tie another knot and start over again. If you want, you can add beads along the way to jazz it up a bit. I thought these turned out pretty good, but I didn’t like the look of the knots all over the headphones.
Let me know if you are going to try this! Like this: Like Loading... DIY Washi Tape Laptop Keyboard. Look whose little old MacBook got a facelift this weekend! I spotted this idea from minifanfan on Making It Lovely last week and just had to give it my own spin. I purchased my Japanese washi tape from Le Box Boutique on Etsy. There are hundreds of washi tape sellers but I chose Le Box because they allow you to purchase tape by the foot rather than having to purchase the entire roll. They were very easy to interact with and I would definitely recommend them if you’re looking to purchase washi tape!
I chose these ten patterns but only ended up using eight of them on my keyboard. I first thoroughly cleaned my keyboard with rubbing alcohol to remove any dirt or oil that might keep the tape from sticking. I originally wanted to do all the keys, including the small keys in the top row, but the tape seemed to have a harder time sticking to the small keys.
This project was a bit tedious but simple – perfect for a few hours in front of the tv. What do you think? Tagged as: craft, diy, tutorial. Most favorited all-time.
