Vintage Rosettes Hi, I'm Terra from mama says sew. I am so excited to be here on UCreate today! I am the wife to an amazing husband and a stay-at-home mom of three adorable children. I mainly blog about things I make for them. Well, to be honest, my blog is mostly about things I make for my girls. My son gets the short end of the stick when it comes to crafting. Okay, enough about me. You will need: -Three strips of fabric (mine were about 2.5 inches wide and 14 inches long) -A scrap of netting big enough to cover the rosettes (I used about 12 inches by 5 inches for mine) -Scraps of a heavy fabric that won't fray, such as felt (best if it matches your rosettes) -9 glass pearls -A Headband -More pearls or feathers {or whatever your heart desires!} -Glue sticks and a glue gun First you're going to make three rosettes from the three strips of fabric. Start by folding your fabric strip in half. Then I squish the roll down between my thumb and fingers. Trim off the tail that sticks out and there you go! That's it!

Old Window DIY Projects Vintage windows are much easier to come by than you might think. Before the salvage craze became mainstream, windows were often one of the few items saved from building demolition. As a result there are centuries worth of windows floating around antique shops, flea markets, and architectural salvage depots. Or perhaps you’ve done an upgrade on your own home, and your old windows are still around, waiting to be turned into something great. However you come across them, vintage windows are an inexpensive and unique way to make great additions to your home. Photo: David Fenton A window’s flat, rectangular shape means it’s a natural candidate for becoming a tabletop. Photo: Talia Christine A window’s strong frame is designed to keep heavy glass in place, it works equally well to help you display family photos, art, or little bits and baubles.

Ric Rac Flower I am pretty sure the projects involving Ric Rac are endless! I love it! These flowers are perfect for women, teens, and kids. It also doubles as a hair accessory and pin for clothes, bags, etc. Felt 1-2 yards 3/4″ Ric Rac Needle and Thread Hot Glue Button Snap Clip First, cut out your felt into a circle. It does not have to be a circle. I cut out my circles to be about 2 inches. Now you will take your Ric Rac and wrap it around the outside. You will then keep wrapping and stitching the Ric Rac around until you get to the center. Just take a few stitches to the center and tie it off in the back. Here is a close up of the center. Now that you are finished with the Ric Rac, you just add your embellishment. I chose a button and I hot glued it onto the flower. You can definitely stitch the button on, but I didn’t like how my stitching looked with that button. Now we are going to add a snap clip to the back. You will want to cut out another felt circle about the same size as the first felt circle.
diy project: jane joss’ recycled quilt flowers | Design*Sponge sadly yesterday ran away from me and i wasn’t able to post a project from jane joss i’d been excited about all week. jane joss is an alias for alyssa and joslyn krismer, former college roommates turned sisters-in-law (married to twins!). these self-taught seamstresses have a love of cool fabric and create some really incredible crafts and home accessories from their collections of great textiles. inspired by nature and beautiful prints, alyssa and joslyn now create modern fabric arrangements and potted plants which they sew and construct by hand. i’ve been a fan of their “sweet leaves” collections on etsy for a while and was thrilled when they agreed to share a DIY project inspired by their textile flowers. and the best part about this project? CLICK HERE for the full project steps after the jump! Alyssa (Jane of Jane Joss) inherited a gorgeous quilt from her great-grandmother, but it was falling apart and beyond repair.

Clever paints | Habitat by Resene 27 Jul 2015 Resene paints are certainly known for their good looks and high quality.

Pumpkin Shirt for Audrey Happy Fall Y'all! Tracy asked me to make a pumpkin shirt for Miss Audrey: The pumpkin design is from Planet Applique's Double Pumpkin Alphabet (minus some details). You know, this may be one of the first times I have added a bow to a shirt. After Tracy's coworker saw Audrey's shirt, she needed a set for her daughters. :)
Colorful Recycled Denim Beads | Crafts by Amanda You’ve probably noticed a trend on this blog… I like to recycle. I use recycled materials in many of my projects, and I always have several old pairs of jeans lying around. Kids grow like weeds, and boys are especially hard on their clothes, so there’s always some worn out denim not worthy of the donation pile. I’m all about color. Tween girls will love this project, so if you have one you may just want to give this a whirl. I made these beads for Michael’s Craft Stores via DecoArt. After cutting your denim rectangle, iron it out. Mix your paint with fabric medium according to the bottle directions. Cut the strips into thirds. You can make bracelets, necklaces, keychains, earrings, and even artwork.

Craft Uses for Sugar Bags | ThriftyFun Thick paper sugar bags have crafting potential. This is a guide about craft uses for sugar bags. Ad Solutions: Craft Uses for Sugar Bags Read and rate the best solutions below by giving them a "thumbs up". "Sweet" Gift Bag Many brands of sugar include a cookie recipe on the bag. Supplies: sugar bag scissors small bowl pencil cardstock glue yarn or ribbon Directions: I simply emptied all the sugar into my canister, then flattened the top end of the bag. Using a small bowl, I drew 2 semi-circles that would be the bag's handles and continued the lines down to the top of the bag's graphics. I cut out inside the handles area, through front and back, and the excess around the sides. I used a bit of red yarn to tie them together, but you could leave the handles plain. Now you're ready to give someone a unique gift. By Gloria from western NY Give a "thumbs up" to the solution that worked the best! Feedback Forum
Double Sided Fabric Headband Pattern Hello blog world! It’s been a busy weekend! I hope all you Americans had a fabulous 4th of July. We had friends stay with us, a cookout, and my friends even had a baby shower for me. I have this list of “blog” things I’m trying to finish up before baby E comes, so let’s see how I do.

Popsicle Stick Bracelets | Suzy's Artsy Craftsy Sitcom So I was looking through my vintage craft book collection and ran across a 1970 Pack O’ Fun magazine. They had instructions on how to take a simple popsicle stick and turn it into a bracelet. I’m always happy to try and take a good idea and run with it. Well, I’m certainly on board for that. The thought of being able to make wood pliable put all kinds of ideas in my head. Are you new to the Sitcom? For this project I used: Popsicle sticks (bought the industrial strength size bag from Walmart because this project might go in future directions)Drinking glass (for forming- use a glass with a top opening that is slightly smaller than you want your bracelet to end up)Emory board or sand paperAcrylic paintStick on jewels (for bling)Mod Podge The instructions in the magazine called for allowing the popsicle sticks to sit in water overnight. I found that I still had to work the wood, warming it with my fingers, to make it pliable enough to fit into the top of the glass without splitting.
