Make Your Own Camera Bag!
How many of us would love to have a camera bag like this!? High five cause I certainly would too! But at $170 a pop it's juuuuust not in the cards for me right now. Besides I think I would rather spend that extra cash on a new lens, or filters, or editing software. Did I mention that it's super basic and easy too? Another reason I love making it myself? So how did I do it? I chose a purse that had lots of room! Here is the cost break down: Purse from Ross: $18.00 (you could make this more expensive or cheaper depending on what bag you get. This was totally in my budget! DIY Camera Bag Tutorial! What you'll need: Purse of your choice1/2 yard Material of your choice (you'll have a little material left over probably but it's better to have more then less)1/2 yard of Half inch thick foamAt least 1/4 yard of Velcro. 1. This can be made to fit any bag. 2. 3. Now turn your pockets insides out. Now to close up the pockets, you'll want to fold the fabric inward making a seam and then pin it down.
You Are My Fave
This is the latest installation for the ever-changing half wall, just in time for Cinco de Mayo. Because everybody likes tissue flowers and an excuse to bust out the seven layer bean dip. PS This Mexican themed wedding is so pretty and I think this is a perfect week to crank out a surprise cake.
Little Bags
It all started when I saw Milky Robot's bag. Then MrsMcPorkchop's. I had to make my own! The design is so cute! I love the looping straps... the velcro inside... the back pocket. I think they're perfect either as a little camera case or just as a cute wristlet for carrying essentials when you're on the go. The pattern is from Keyka Lou, you can get it and make your own.
V and Co how to: shag pillow
*no animals or plants were hurt in the making of this project. *one really stupid person did get hurt in the making of this project, but she would like to mention that even though the needle penetrated...no swear words passed her lips. it's was a modern day miracle. i love how this pillow turned out. i made it in green for two reasons: 1. it's still kind of cold here, and still kind of brown...will be for a little bit longer so i wanted some GREEN and springy looking happiness in my home. 2. it's the only color of jersey i had on hand, and living in the middle of nowhere doesn't let me just jump in the car and go to a store that i can find jersey fabric at (which btw this fabric was found at jo-anns but i would suggest amazon if you can't find what you are looking for, that's where i get a lot of mine when i can't find stuff) now lets get started: cutting: *cut from jersey fabric 19 strips at 1 1/2" each. *from each of the 19 strips cut 15: 4" length rectangles. the end.

Summer bracelets DIY
When M. came home from her camp with school, she showed me this yellow bracelet she made with 'scoubidoo' strings. One of her friends taught her how to make these and of course I wanted to have a go at it too. Instead of scoubidou string I used strips of fabric for one and leather - what did you think?!- shoelaces in offsetting colors for another one. So, in case you 're in need of a fun summer project here's a how-to in 16 pictures with a short description below. This is what you'll need for an adult size leather bracelet. - a 52cm long strip of fabric or leather shoe lace - a second strip of fabric or leather shoe lace of approximately 95 cm - a big-eyed needle - a cylindrical object to hold the loop so your project stays put while braiding (the neck of an Elmer's glue bottle works just fine; when out on the beach, the finger of a helper's hand might do the trick as well) Steps: 1. With special thanks to my little girl M. for teaching me how to make these...
Knitty Gritty Thoughts: Happy Thanksgiving and Free Fabric Styrofoam Ball...
Supplies are easy, most of them you'll probably already have around the house. You'll need - Fabric - your choice of colors and prints. The amount you need depends on the size of the styrofoam balls you use and how thick you place the fabric. My mileage is between 1/4-1/2 yard per ball. I recommend starting with a 1/2 yard and see how much you have left and go from there.Rotary cutter mat, cutter and rulerSilver flathead pinsThimbleStyrofoam/Polystyrene Balls your choice of sizes (I used 2 and 3.25 inches) Start by cutting your fabric in 2 inch strips as shown above. After you've cut the strips, cut each strip into 2 inch widths so you end up with 2x2inch squares You'll have a nice pretty stack of squares! Now, pull up a chair, put on a movie and let's get pinning! Now, you're going to learn how to fold the fabric squares. Next, fold the fabric in half again and hold it as shown above. Now, pin. Now, pin the second one. You continue doing this around and around and finish the first round.
Framed Jewelry Organizer
Necklaces always seem to get tangled in a jewelry box. This is a DIY tutorial to make a framed jewelry organizer that both displays your pretty necklaces and keeps them tangle-free. You can either hang it on the wall or lean it against a vanity table. thrifted vintage frame peg board cup to size wood glue scissors ribbon knobs or hooks spray paint (optional) Start with a vintage thrifted frame. You’ll want a piece of peg board cut down to the size of the inside of your frame. Before securing the peg board to the frame I make a couple loops for hanging dangling earrings. I double knotted the back. Next I glued with wood glue the peg board to the back of the frame. I picked up some of these knobs and hook on sale from my local Anthropologie. The hook’s holes didn’t quite line up with the peg board’s so I tied ribbon through like I did for the earring loops. Then I installed my knobs and hung my jewelry.
