Crème de la Craft Blog | DIY projects made from everyday objects Nothing But Bonfires : Sixty Years Of Memories For my dad's 60th birthday last week, I wanted to do something really fun. My dad and I talk a lot about the past---nostalgia runs in our blood, I think---and we both love to reminisce. Inspired by Jordan Ferney's Postcard Birthday Poster, I started batting around an idea: what if I could get everyone from my dad's past to contribute a memory they had of him? What if I had all those people send their memories to me, and then I put each one into an envelope---sixty total, of course---and had him open them, one by one, on his birthday? That would be a lot of memories, right? So I wrote an email. Hello everyone! If you're receiving this email, you probably know that our dad, Patrick Burns, is turning 60 next month (much as he would hate us to be reminding everyone, I'm sure.) And this is where you come in! If you have a spare moment in the next few days, we would be so grateful if you'd jot down a favorite memory you have of our dad and put it in the post. Thank you so much again.
papernstitch handmade blog DIY Picture Tiles - You Will Never Buy a Photo Frame Again Lately I’ve been having this huge urge to decorate the house. This is big news. I do not decorate. Arguably, one of the reasons why is because I. absolutely. hate. to. buy. mass. produced. decor. Anyway, this extends to photo frames. Nope. Long story short, I discovered this method of transferring my photos cheaply, quickly, and beautifully to something uncommon and unique. Tiles. The only thing that’s not particularly crunchy about this is that it uses Modge Podge or similar (and I’m not sure what’s in Modge Podge). It’s just grainy and doesn’t dry clearly. Boo. BUT, if you can overlook that one minor issue, I think you’ll love this. And it will be glorious. Here’s how you do it. First, you need to go to Home Depot, Lowes, or something like it. (FYI, I found that Lowes prices on tiles were cheaper than Home Depot. I like the stone tiles, because they have texture. So you pick out your tiles in the sizes you want. And then you get home and gather what you need. Cut them out. Go go go! Love me?
Przenoszenie serwetki na papier - mini kurs Hejka! Zgodnie z przewidywaniami i listą priorytetów :) zamieszczam Wam, wedle życzenia, szybki i łatwy kurs na przenoszenie serwetki za pomocą folii spożywczej, zatem wizytę w Ogrodzie Botanicznym odkładam na później ;). Kurs będzie też dostępny w zakładce Kursy. Co będzie nam potrzebne: - folia spożywcza; - papier do pieczenia; - kartka, na którą chcemy przenieść; - wierzchnia warstwa wybranej serwetki; - żelazko; - nożyczki jak zawsze. Krok I Układamy kolejno papier do pieczenia, na to kartkę, na której chcemy mieć wzór, następnie kawałek folii spożywczej (nieco większy niż motyw serwetki), na to wierzchnią warstwę serwetki i na koniec pokrywamy całość znowu papierem do pieczenia. Papier do pieczenia pod kartkę kładę dlatego, że podgrzana folia może kartkę przyczepić do stołu, więc jak komuś szkoda stołu, to polecam :). Krok III Dokładnie prasujemy po całej powierzchni papieru do pieczenia, dobrze dociskamy. Krok IV Gdy już mamy przyklejoną serwetę, to obcinamy brzegi nożyczkami.
How To Mix Chalkboard Paint in Any Color We love using chalkboards as backdrops for displays and parties (like this one here!). So we were super excited to learn that you can create your own custom colors-and it's really easy! We first learned how from Martha Stewart whose tutorial you can read here. Supplies: 1/2 cup acrylic paint (choose any color you like, or mix colors together to make the perfect shade!) 1. 2. Once your chalkboard has fully dried be sure to slate the surface before using it for the first time. Have fun creating any color combination you like!!
Transfer na tkaninie krok po kroku Transfer za pomocą rozpuszczalnika nitro Potrzebne będą: Bawełniana tkanina o gęstym splocie Nadruk, który chcemy przenieść na tkaninę. Nadruk musi być wydrukowany na drukarce laserowej w "lustrzanym odbiciu" Ma to największe znaczenie w przypadku naprasowanek z napisami. Na początek drukujemy nasz wzór na zwykłym papierze w drukarce laserowej, optymalnie w lustrzanym odbiciu. Gdy materiał jest już przyklejony, za pomocą taśmy papierowej przyklejamy nasz wzór zadrukowaną stroną do materiału. Teraz lekko zwilżamy ściereczkę rozpuszczalnikiem nitro i tamponujemy kartki raz przy razie. W wyniku tamponowania kartka robi się prawie przeźroczysta, tak, że wzór jest wdoczny na lewej stronie kartki. Teraz delikatnie podważamy jeden z końców i sprawdzamy czy wzór się odbił. Teraz nadruk można wyprać i wyprasować. Transfer z użyciem papieru termotransferowego i drukarki atramentowej Potrzebne będą: Papier do wykonywania nadruków na jasnych koszulkach optymalnie znanej i polecanej firmy.
We're Obsessed With This Easy DIY Artwork Project (& You'll Be, Too!) UPDATE: The long weekend is the perfect time to start some new projects, so why not try this awesome (and so easy) artwork DIY? This story was originally published on July 25. If there are two things that have been commanding our attention lately, they're cool artwork and chevron prints. So, we were obviously pretty stoked to find a way to incorporate both — for cheap! — in an amazing DIY project for your apartment. Inspired by the work of artist Nancy Ramirez, two stellar Refinery29 interns collaborated on this easy-does-it way to spice up an empty wall. From the moment we spied this Nancy Ramirez painting on Pinterest, we were smitten. Assemble your paints and squeeze a quarter-size amount of each color onto your palette. To incorporate all of our colors, we used one at a time, rinsing our brush between each and blending until we covered the canvas. Once you've covered the canvas, let it dry for a few minutes. Et voilà! Photographed by Maia Schoenfelder
Kreatywne życie..... DIY Wrap Bracelet You should all know by now that we are all about stacking bracelets on our wrists. The more, the better. In fact . . . the most, the best! With that being said, we’ll show you how to master a version of the ever so popular wrap bracelet. It’s so simple and addicting, you’ll soon be churning out these wristlets with your eyes closed. You’ll need (for a double wrapped bracelet) :* Lengths will vary depending on the size of your wrist (see comments for suggestions). Fold the length of leather cording in half to form a loop. Place the ball chain along the leather cording with the end of the chain meeting the end of the wrap. Continue wrapping while checking it for fit around the wrist. When you have reached the end of the ball chain wrap the linen cording around the leather strands 2-3 more times. Thread the hex nut through the strands and tie a second knot. Trim with scissors and your wrap bracelet is finished!! The materials are listed for a double wrap bracelet. It’s a party!
Handmade Charlotte | DIY Crafts and Design for Kids Paper Flowers - Anyone Can Do That Japanese Kusudama, this tutorial is featured on Craftuts Anyone can do that, I assure you. The proof: I can, just take a quick look at my result below. And, believe me, I am neither meticulous nor particularly patient. You could even say I’m the opposite. Below you can see my very first attempt to create paper flowers. What you will need to make your own Kusudama paper ball? 1. 3. 4. (optionally) I prefer torn paper instead of cut. You have to start with a single petal. Now you have to glue your 5 petals into a flower. Apply the glue to only one side of each petal, except for the last one, in this case cover both sides with glue. Your first flower is done. Don’t glue every petal right after you make it. When all 12 flowers are finished you have to glue them together. When two halves of Kusudama Flower Ball are ready you have to glue them together.
