Apr12th2010 I’m sure these tutorials of mine are all starting to look the same. That’s because they are. Haha, enjoy. Supplies 2 colors of coordinating fabric (or not. That’s just what I did.)Ring with glue pad*Beads for embellishing (I used some from a broken necklace)ScissorsNeedle & ThreadA lighter (for singeing the edges of your fabric)Hot glue gun/craft glue/super glue/whatever kind of glue you happen to have * I ordered a bunch of these little rings from an Etsy shop called The Perfect Bead.
Instructions I chose two coordinating fabrics in peachy/pink shades. Cut 5 circles from the first fabric, varying from 1 inch in diameter down to about 3/4 inch. Use your lighter to singe the edges of each circle. Stack your “petals”, alternating between the two types of fabric, with the largest circles on the bottom and the smallest on the top. Run your needle and thread through the center of the stack to secure. Glue the back of the flower to the little pad on the ring and you’re finished!
Wednes-diy | Free People Clothing Boutique Blog. UPDATE: This post originally ran on March 23 2011, but with summer winding down we wanted to bring it back up for some late summer inspiration! A fellow fp girl sent this to me a couple weeks back and i’ve been thinking about it ever since! I can think of a million reasons why these would be awesome… as apartment décor, as outdoor party décor, and – wouldn’t they be the best thing EVER for camping in general or at a festival?
Just let them sit in the sun all day, and they’ll last all night! I am absolutely going to make some to bring with me to bonnaroo this year. you can buy a sun jar here, but you can make your own for much cheaper! What you need: a mason jar with a clear glass lid like this one from ikea, a solar garden light like the ones pictured above, which i found here, adhesive and glass frosting spray. start by spraying the inside of the jar with the frosting spray – this will help diffuse the light and give it a warm glow. don’t spray the lid though!

Inspiring DIY. Improv Everywhere | We Cause Scenes. Rolled paper flowers {tutorial} |&jones design company. Welcome to flower week – five days of simple and delightful flower projects. I could probably do three weeks of flowers because there are so many different ways to create them, but I’ve limited it to five of my current favorites.
Before we get started, let me make a few disclaimers: 1. I find inspiration for projects all over the place {online, in shops, in magazines}, then figure out how to re-create them on my own. Each of these projects are my adaptation of something I’ve seen elsewhere. In other words, I do not take credit for ‘inventing’ these blossoms. 2. 3. Okay, so let’s begin. Here’s what you’ll need: :: paper {either cover or text weight} :: florist wire :: scissors, pencil, glue gun STEP ONE: cut irregular circle This circle is approximately 8 inches, but you can do any size you wish.
STEP TWO: cut spiral Start at the outside edge and cut in a spiral fashion to the center. I like a sort of bumpy shape so that the petals end up a bit irregular STEP THREE: roll your blossom. Before I Die & Candy Chang. What matters most to you Interactive public art project that invites people to share their personal aspirations in public. After losing someone she loved and falling into depression, Chang created this experiment on an abandoned house in her neighborhood to create an anonymous place to help restore perspective and share intimately with her neighbors.
The project gained global attention and thanks to passionate people around the world, over 1000 Before I Die walls have now been created in over 70 countries, including Kazakhstan, Iraq, Haiti, China, Ukraine, Portugal, Japan, Denmark, Argentina, and South Africa. The walls are an honest mess of the longing, pain, joy, insecurity, gratitude, fear, and wonder you find in every community, and they reimagine public spaces that nurture honesty, vulnerability, trust and understanding. The Before I Die book is a celebration of these walls and the stories behind them. 2011, New Orleans, LA. Cordoba, Argentina.
Najaf, Iraq. Brooklyn, NY. Crochet Star Pattern. "Did you find everything you need? ", asked the cashier at Trader Joe's. "Everything but the sugar," I replied. The cashier called over to the manager to ask about the sugar, and the manager said it had been discontinued. Something about rising prices and not being able to secure a good deal. No more granulated sugar in a pretty pink package at Trader Joe's. "It's a food crisis," joked the cashier. Now a joke like that should send a girl like me over the edge. We might be out of sugar, but there will be no shortage of crochet thread in my house. As promised, here's the crochet star pattern. Materials: Crochet thread, size 30. Step 1: Chain 5, join with slip stitch to form ring.
Step 2. Step 3: * Chain 5. 1 single crochet in 2nd chain, 1 half double crochet in next chain, 1 double crochet in next chain, 1 triple crochet in next chain. Make lots and lots. Now for my next project: researching how to grow sugar beets and extract sugar from them.
