How to make a scratch off lottery ticket? You probably know the scratch off lottery tickets? Ever wondered how to make them? Well, they are very fun & easy to make.I used to make greeting cards from them but now I'm going to use this technique as a promotional tool.I made 25 scratch off tickets and will include 1 ticket with every order I ship.On one of those tickets, there is a coupon code and a value of 25 dollars to spend in my shop on Etsy.
Waaaahhh, exciting! :) Here is what you need:cardboard, a print-out of your lottery ticket, glue stick, sticky back plastic (contact paper), metallic acrylic paint (preferably silver) and washing liquid.I prepared the paper cutting beforehand so I'll skip that part in the tutorial. :) Beforehand you print out a design that you want to be on the scratch off lottery tickets.If your printer can take thick paper you can print it directly on the cardboard and skip this part. Then you take a piece of sticky back plastic and put it onto the design. And then... scratch! Craftynest. Little Birdie Secrets.
A bib tutorial. Cut 2 pieces of fabric and a scrap of batting about 10" x 13". make a quilt sandwich. I use spray baste to hold all the layers together . quilt your layers together. cut into a bib shape. (pattern below) I usually cut an additional 1/4" out from the (tear drop shaped) neck area to make sure there is plenty of room for the baby's neck.
(sorry I didn't add this to the pattern) or, if you have a little one, you can check to make sure you have the size you need. also, cut generously around the outside edges of the pattern. When you are to this point, the bib should be about the size of a letter sized piece of paper. use a quarter inch seam allowance to sew the bias binding around the outside edges.I make my own bias strips cutting them 2.5" wide, then fold in half lengthwise and iron.leave an extra inch of binding fabric at the beginning and end. hand stitch the binding onto the back side of the bib. trim off the ends even with the inside edge of the bib, don't cut off your knots, though.

Love it, love it, love it! Plus it works brilliantly for pillowcases. I have also successfully used this method to cut sleeves/legs of clothing into strips. It works for any 'tube' of fabric. And it's also the method I use for cutting plastic bags into 'plarn' As I said... love it, love it, love it! This is a speedy system of cutting which results in a long continuous strip being formed. EDITED TO ADD - I have had a fabulous and simple suggestion from one of my regular readers (thank you Karen!) If you are working with a flat piece of material, such as a sheet... take a few minutes to stitch a seam up one side and make it into a tube... then proceed with the method described below I have used a pillowcase to demonstrate the technique, and taken lots of photos. (click on the photos to enlarge) 1. lay the pillowcase flat, with the opening to the left 2. begin folding from the bottom up as illustrated.
Criss Cross Coasters. Before being swallowed by the activities surrounding Thanksgiving, I thought I'd put up a tutorial for the coolest thing I learned the other day. The woman sitting next to me in a sewing class at Bernina showed us how to make these. She didn't have a name for them so for lack of something better I'm calling them Criss-Cross Coasters. They make great stocking stuffers, hostess or teacher gifts, whatever. You can whip up a set in no time, especially if you use a rotary cutter, because there is no hand finishing.
And for a change of pace, I thought I'd try an illustrated tutorial! ***Note: Since writing this tutorial, several people have asked me when to remove the paper from the fusible web. So here we go! So there you have it! Here's hoping everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Cheers, Jenny.
