As luck would have it, I had just seen one as well so I promised to make her one.

She wanted one made with smaller pins than the one she had seen, so I bought 3/4″ safety pins for mine. Notes: Make sure you do the needle nose plyer step, don’t skip it.

Safety Pin Braceletprintable version 3/4″ safety pins Elastic beading cord Seed beads White craft glue Toothpick Open a safety pin and thread as many seed beads on as you can, leaving enough room to close the pin. Cut two pieces of elastic beading cord, about 12″ long each. Thread one of the cords through the head of a pin, then the other cord through the bottom of the pin. When you have enough pins to create your bracelet, remove the knot from the tied end.

Tie the top cords together and the bottom cords together. A bit of green :: Crafts :: Plastic Cup Lamp. Now that my university is closed for winter holidays, I finally have more free time to do all the crafty things I’ve been wanting to. One of these is a lamp made from plastic cups I’ve seen at taf, the art foundation, in the Monastiraki region in the center of Athens. When I first saw it at taf, I was amazed; I looked closely and I couldn’t believe my eyes! The object itself is so peculiar, modern and alien-like it could be in any design exhibition. With my best friend’s birthday coming up, I decided to make it myself and give it to her as a gift.

It turns out it was the easiest craft I’ve even done, the epitome of DIY objects! Disclaimer: There have been some concerns about the safety of this construction (see the comment of user “when” below for example). We only use this lamp when we’re at home, so we have it under surveillance. I only needed a couple of things: That’s all you will need. Start stapling the cups together as shown.

I have been meaning to replace it but didn't want to spend the extra money. Then I remembered an awesome window treatment my friend Amber made for her bathroom a while back, so I decided to give it a try. I'll be honest, I am NOT a sewer, which seems kind of ironic.

I mean, you would think an interior design major would be a able to sew herself a nice throw pillow or something. But nope, not me. I just have never taken the time to practice at it. With that in mind, Let it be known that I sewed this shade all by myself! I really like how it turned out, and I REALLY like that the total cost for the project was under $10!

How About Orange. Here's a look at our upstairs guest bathroom.

Last night I covered an accent wall with removable wallpaper. I love it! This bathroom has a peculiar layout. You walk in past the shower stall on the right, and when you hit the sink, you turn right to get to the toilet. Which is under a lovely arch at the end of a passage that is almost long enough to feel like a hallway.

The paint color in there doesn't bother me (hard to capture in photos under electric lights) but that wall under the arch was begging for something interesting. I considered these drops wall decals at Walls Need Love, but after browsing their site some more, I was taken by the Waves of Chic print. The kind folks at Walls Need Love sent the product to review. Like the Sunburst wallpaper I designed last year, this paper is essentially a giant self-adhesive wall decal, and it's easily to peel off and reposition. I measured the wall and cut a length of paper that would leave a little extra overhang at the bottom.

Due to popular demand, I am doing a tutorial on the Magic Boxes I showed off in some previous posts. To begin, choose your paper. You need six sheets of matching paper (preferably a heavier weight). Choose one for your outside, budgeting for a contrasting one for your lid, and 4 to create the inside boxes. Cut as follows (all measurement are in inches): Outside: 6 x 11 3/4ths Lid: 8.5 x 8.5 4 inner boxes: 8 x 8 The only challenging part of this project is creating the lid and inside compartments. 1. 2. fold the tips of your paper in so that they meet at the center.

Fold in all four sides, and then unfold. 3. This fold gives you the sides of your box. 4. I have also colored four triangles. 5. 6. Do the same thing on the other side. 7.

Now these are becoming very popular as embellishments sold with new product lines. Start by cutting a strip of paper. Once your strip is pleated, put it into a circle shape and adhere the ends together. Now you can push them into a tighter circle, and apply pressure down in the center to create your flower wheel. Cut scrap paper to a size slightly smaller than the diameter of your flower. I really hate holding things and waiting for them to dry, so I am a big fan of clamps. If you have a few clamps, you can have them drying as you make more.
