You know we love turning unconventional materials into wearable accessories. Today, we’re tackling zippers! We figured out 5 simple, beautiful ways to create bracelets, cuffs, and bangles out of metal, plastic, and repurposed zippers. Materials: - zippers - E-6000 quick hold contact adhesive - velcro or snap buttons - leather crimps + clasps - Tools: needle nose pliers, sharp scissors First thing to do is get your zippers! 1. These bangles are sweet, and have a definite friendship bracelet vibe. Use colored zippers for these, in whatever colors you like. Attach cord ends so that you can add a clasp and loop. 2. For this one, you’ll want a zipper with some contrast. We chose a black zipper with gold teeth. 3. This one is silly simple! Get a zipper with a more interesting material like denim. 4. 5. Last, the wrap bracelet! And that’s a wrap (hehe!).

DIY | poured mason jar candle » Something Turquoise {daily bridal inspiration} I am so excited to share today’s DIY with you! For one, because I have a new DIY logo… and two, because I absolutely love making candles! Last christmas I made a candle for every single lady in my family and a few of my close friends, which came to around 45 candles… which was so much fun! Shopping at thrift and vintage stores to find cool and unique glass containers… melting the wax, coloring it, and wrapping them all up… I want to do it all over again! Here I am sharing a super simple way to make your own Mason Jar Candle gifts. Where To Buy Supplies: Update: 9/8/15 – Let me start by saying this tutorial is old, lol. 1 lb bag of soy wax flakes (very easy to work with!) Before you get started, make sure you have all the supplies below and that whatever glass you choose to pour your candle into is nice and thick, thinner glass can crack from the flame of a candle. For this project we won’t be needing that inner seal part of the mason jar lid, so you can remove it. Add Your Wicks Supplies:

How-To: Henna Tattoos Henna tattoos are perfect for summertime. They are natural, they are beautiful, and they are temporary! Because one batch of henna goes a long way, henna tattoos are a great activity for parties and are especially fun for kids at a sleep over. I tend to give them as part of celebrations, say at a baby shower or bachelorette party, but I also love giving them to people who need some love and healing. Materials for the Henna Paste: Henna powder, 1/4 cup Tea, strongly brewed, 2-3 tablespoons 1 Lemon Eucalyptus Oil, 3-5 drops Materials for Applying the Tattoo: Squeeze bottle Various tips Straight pin Q-tips Cotton ballls Lemon Sugar Materials to Remove the Paste: Olive Oil Cotton balls Step 1: Check your henna for any sticks or large bits of plant matter. Step 2: Scrub the hand that is going to get the tattoo to remove any oils from the skin before you start. While traditional henna patterns are very busy, the best thing to do is keep it simple!

Καλύματα για καρέκλες που διπλώνουν Projects Βήμα - Βήμα από Ελίνα Αντωνοπούλου Είναι αλήθεια οτι οι καρέκλες που διπλώνουν είναι πρακτικές για πολλούς λόγους. Πρώτον είναι οικονομικές, δεύτερον δεν πιάνουν πολύ χώρο για να τις αποθηκεύσεις και τρίτον μπορείς χρησιμοποιώντας τις σε κάποιο πάρτυ ή συγκέντρωση να καθίσεις πολλά άτομα. Τα υλικά που θα χρειαστείς είναι: - Ύφασμα- Τα ραφτικά σου (ψαλίδι, καρφίτσες, μεζούρα, χάρακες κτλ)- Κορδέλα- Συρραπτικό και εργαλείο που αφαιρεί τα συρραπτικά- Κιμωλία- Χαρτοταινία- Ραπτομηχανή Ξέρω οτι φαίνεται πολύ πιο πολύπλοκο από ό,τι είναι, όμως εάν ακολουθήσεις βήμα βήμα τις φωτογραφημένες οδηγίες του άρθρου του DesignSponge θα τα καταφέρεις περίφημα. Μερικά πραγματάκια που καλό είναι να προσέξεις και αναφέρονται και στο άρθρο είναι: Εμείς ευχόμαστε καλή επιτυχία!

Limoncello Recipe Limoncello While searching for a good recipe for Limoncello, I found a lot of conflicting information. Some recipes use vodka, others use grain alcohol (without specifying the potency, which varies) and others even used rum! So I started with the premise that grain alcohol will extract the most lemon oil and flavor from lemon zest. Limoncello 3 pounds lemons, preferably organic. 16 oz. grain alcohol, 190 proof (I use Everclear) Wash the lemons thoroughly in warm water, and rinse well. On the 3rd day: 4 cups sugar 4 cups (=32 oz.) water 1/2 cup (=4 oz.) lemon juice Combine the sugar and water in a non-reactive saucepan (i.e., stainless steel, or a pan lined with enamel - not aluminum or cast iron). Clemencello My latest discovery! Use the recipe for Limoncello above, but put the grain alcohol into a jar and add the zest of the clementines as you eat them, and swirl the jar daily.

Χειροποίητες ψηφίδες για μωσαϊκό Projects Βήμα - Βήμα από Βάλια Μπινίκου Συνήθως αφήνουμε για το καλοκαίρι, χειροτεχνίες που απαιτούν χρόνο μιας και φαίνεται να έχουμε λίγο ελεύθερο τότε. Το συγκεκριμένο άρθρο έχει και οδηγίες για να ντύσεις ένα κουτί με χαρτομάντηλα, αν θέλεις το κάνεις και αυτό, διαφορετικά ακολουθείς τις οδηγίες μόνο για τις ψηφίδες. Ανακατεύεις καλά 15ml ξυλόκολλα με 55ml νερό. Θα χρειαστείς ακόμη ένα πλαστικό πατάκι με τετράγωνα βαθουλώματα το οποίο θα χρησιμοποιηθεί ως καλούπι και μια σπάτουλα (ή ατσαλίνα) για να απλώσεις το μείγμα στο πατάκι.
