Doodle Craft Upcycled Rolled Paper Frame! This frame is visually stunning with lots of texture and pops of color! However...it's menace runs deeper. It was the most tedious and time consuming project I've ever wrangled my kids into doing. It all started like this. Famous last words. I similarly convinced my 10 year old daughter to play along as well... so we had the whole crafty family working together. We begun this escapade at 4:02 pm...and finished with the last shutter click at 8:49 pm. But we made it through all of: Barbie the Island Princess Brave Frozen and part way into Wreck it Ralph. for this: It's a great way to recycle old magazines, paper the kids brought home from school...or junk mail! You will need: Paper Wooden frame (upcycle one you have on hand, or get one to refinish at the craft store..my advice: think small!) Paper cutter (you could use scissors...but that would make this project suck even more) Tape roller (you could use glue...but that would make this project suck even more) Half way!
T. J. Potter, Sling Maker - 6 strand flat braid Instructions for a 6-strand Flat Braid I have included two ways to make this flat braid. The first is simply the normal braiding method, and the second is more of a finger weaving method. The structure of the braid is basically the same for both methods, but because of the difference in the way tension is put on the strands, the two methods produce somewhat different looking results. Method #1 To start the braid, hold three strands in each hand. Now take the outside left-hand strand and bring it through the other three left-hand strands going under-over-under, and transfer it to the right hand, keeping it to the inside of the other right-hand strands. Here you can see both steps have been done. Here you can see several passes of the braid completed. Method #2 For this method, hold all six strands in the left hand. The weaving process is repteated with each strand in sequence. Here you can see what it looks like after two steps are done without being pulled tight.

Recipe for Homemade Mod Podge Hello Friends! For those of you who don’t already know, I’ve had to leave sunny Florida and come to Maine to help out my son and daughter-in-law. She is going through some medical problems and needs my help with the children. A few days before I left home in early April, I had been swimming in the pool and enjoying the sunshine. Since then, there has only been 2 sunny days that were warm enough to get outside…until today! I do have something great to share with you, though!! patterns, crafts, etc. on there. All you need is a bottle of Elmer’s Glue (I will be buying lots of them when the school supplies go on sale in August!) Pour equal parts of the Elmer’s Glue and water in the jar, screw the lid on and shake it up good. quite a bit to get it mixed up well. One of the things I use it for is to make wall art. Another thing I use it for is to alter clipboards! of fun to make. I also cover a lot of boxes with paper and cloth…It works great on those, too!

Bricolage automne : arbre en quilling simple – ronds et arabesques en papier par Rachel, le 26 septembre 2012 (...couleurs d'automne pour une activité manuelle en papier roulé...) Le bricolage d'automne est de rigueur aujourd'hui, avec le temps triste et gris qui s'est installé, me faisant ressortir la polaire de la penderie ! C'est donc un arbre d'automne en papier que je vous propose de réaliser avec la méthode du quilling (les paperolles de papier roulé) avec la technique la plus simple : les ronds ! Voici le résultat de cet assemblage, qui pourra par exemple être décliné en un travail collectif à l'école. Tout commence par le découpage de bandes de papier, dans les couleurs choisies. Je tourne une douzaine de bandes avec la pince à quilling, laisse les cercles se desserrer librement, une fois enlevés de la pince, et les ferme d'un point de colle. Quand ils sont tous prêts, je les pose sur ma feuille support, après les avoir encollés à l'aide d'un pinceau brosse. J'ai choisi de ne pas coller les arabesques pour l'instant, pour faciliter la pose du feuillage.

There are some tutorials in Web, but today I want to present my own version for quilled clematis. You will need:1. Pins2. You will need one "a" element, two of "b" elements and 2 of "c" elements. Preserve the template with the tape and stick it to the board. Glue the end of strip and make a loop to fix the strip. Put the pin with the strip into the board, put another one and make a loop. Make several simple petals and glue it together. Fix it on the board and wind the whole shape by the paper strip. And now we have nice clematis. You can use different number of pins and different layouts. Happy quilling!
