Doily Dream Catcher When browsing flea markets or thrift stores, it’s the lovely little doilies that always call my name. I want to rescue these beauties — probably made with love by somebody’s grandma — but I tend to battle my textile-hoarding instinct, unsure of what that doily’s life would look like with me. Jill, a.k.a. ILoveLune, has dreamed up a How-Tuesday project to transform these second-hand findings into a modern dream catcher for the vintage heart. Hey everyone! Supplies you’ll need: Large metal loop (wire macrame hoop)Lace doily — Find them at a thrift store, flea market, or on Etsy. Directions: 1. 2. Lay your doily in the center of the hoop to decide which way is up. 3. 4. Tips on creating a seamless look: Use yarn with mixed fibers of a similar tone to make it easier to match that of your thrifted doilyConsider dyeing your doily to match the yarn, or immerse the finished product in a dye bath before adding embellishments. 5. 6.

Desktop Dreamcatchers We’re always looking for fun ways to decorate our desk spaces at work, and these mini dream catchers do just that! I was inspired to make them after seeing these incredible beauties that our store display team made for our Costa Mesa store: Brigette happened to have some leftover fabric from her reupholstered chair that I was able to cut little pieces of, and it worked perfectly. The only other thing you need are twigs from a twig wreath, which I got at A.C. Using a needle and thread, sew the crochet doily to the twig wreath using each point of the doily, and wrapping the thread around the twigs so you’re simultaneously holding the twigs together as well. For the pieces hanging down from the dream catcher, I used thin strips of fabric and attached them to the twigs with a needle and thread. The result is a very shabby-chic dream catcher, don’t you think? It fits in nicely at Brigette’s desk :) Photos by Julia. Other related posts: Light Bulb Vase DIY, Dreamcatcher DIY
Aura Imaging - Aura Book: Introduction IntroductionThe least demanding history and physics classes you’ll ever have. What is an Aura? An aura is an extension of the physical human body. It is the corona discharge we emanate as a field of light and colors. This corona is as excitable, reactionary and alive as we are. If we change drastically, it changes drastically. It is still a measurable force. And it is still a mysterious force. So the aura can be thought of as a connection between what we can see and what we cannot. HistoryHuman civilization has been aware of the aura for thousands of years. As early as 1890, there have been attempts at photographing the aura. Dr. In the 1930s two Soviet scientists revolutionized modern aura imaging by charging the photographic plate with high voltage, low amperage energy. Now, the industry is blown wide open. Leader in Aura Imaging After much experimentation Coggins invented a camera that safely and accurately measures the differing emanations of energy from the body. Auras of Light
Latest Free eBooks glitternglue Twig Dreamcatcher I'm back with the how-to to make my little dreamcatcher from yesterday. Ok, here we go! What you'll need to get started: a few pliable twigs/vines to form the dreamcatcher itself4-6 feet of thin strong string- I used embroidery flossa bead (for the "spider" in the dreamcatcher) a page of cardstock or poster board for the "feathers"paint, or colorful decorating medium of choice! Step one: start to form your hoop! Step two: start stitching! You'll start to go around in a circle adding stitches on each "round". Step three: make the feathers! Then I cut out general feather shapes from the board. Step four: The last step is to hang your pretty dream bird feathers from your pretty hoop! Then put a thin line of glue on the back side of the stem, over the string you've already wrapped, and wrap the string once more, down to the end of the feather. Then, cut the remaining string that's now coming off the end of the feather to the length you'd like for it to hang from your dreamcatcher.
Indigo children Indigo children, according to a pseudoscientific New Age concept, are children who are believed to possess special, unusual and sometimes supernatural traits or abilities.[4] The idea is based on concepts developed in the 1970s by Nancy Ann Tappe[5] and further developed by Jan Tober and Lee Carroll. The concept of indigo children gained popular interest with the publication of a series of books in the late 1990s and the release of several films in the following decade. A variety of books, conferences and related materials have been created surrounding belief in the idea of indigo children and their nature and abilities. The interpretations of these beliefs range from their being the next stage in human evolution, in some cases possessing paranormal abilities such as telepathy, to the belief that they are more empathetic and creative than their peers. Origins[edit] Sarah W. Claimed characteristics[edit] Descriptions of indigo children include: Other alleged traits include:[8][10]
Micro-Macrame Micro-Macrame differs from regular Macrame only because the thickness of the materials used is much finer. This includes the beads, pendants, and other decorations. The delicate cords used in Micro-Macrame are usually between 0.5mm and 2mm thick. When making handcrafted jewelry, controlling fine materials can be challenging. You’re basically working with threads instead of cords. This requires you to have more patience, along with skill and knowledge. Be very sure you know how to tie all the Macrame Knots in the pattern, BEFORE trying to make the projects in this section of Free Macrame Patterns. Go to the Learn Macrame section, and practice the decorative knots until you are completely comfortable with them. Don't know what types of cord materials are suitable?
DIY Kindle Cover This instructable flows out of Rayeath's very helpful nook cover instructable with some (hopefully) helpful changes. How to convert a hardback book into a Kindle cover with a strap: What you will need: 1) A book you don't mind chopping up; this book must be at least 7.5" tall, 5" wide, and 1 cm thick (though a little thicker might be better) 2) Two sheets of craft felt which are larger than the books covers by approximately 2 inches on all sides 3) Hot glue gun & glue sticks 4) Up to 3' of 1/2" braided elastic 5) Stiff paperboard; Rayeath recommends a cereal box, I used the covers of an old composition notebook 6) Scissors 7) X-acto knife 8) Paperclip 9) Ruler 10) Sharpie I spent less than $10 on this whole project, including the book, which I found for 99 cents at Goodwill. It took me about two hours, but this is my first attempt, as well as my first instructable, so a more competent crafter could move more quickly, I imagine.
