You can even make some pixely confetti to put inside the card (if you are a big kid like me!). Full instructions and printable templates below! (BTW I remember seeing something similar in a popup book years ago. How to 1. (If you have a cutting machine then see note at end of post!)

How to Hack Your Facebook Profile Photo with Timeline {macramé: square knot} string & hexnut bracelet By Kate on September 13, 2011 This bracelet has been inspired by this really wonderful “Braided Hex-nut Bracelet” tutorial which I pinned on Pinterest a while back. Two things I absolutely love about this project are: 1) It’s cheap as chips: I already had string in the cupboard and the brass hexnuts were 3p each from the hardware shop. 2) It’s my kind of jewellery: I’m not really a girly girl IYKWIM! The bracelet I made is a bit different to the ‘braided hex-nut bracelet’ and uses macrame instead, which is great, because I promised some tutorials a while back and felt a bit bad that I hadn’t written any yet! Full instructions after the jump! Square Knot Please note: I have used different colored cord in the tutorial so that it’s easier for you to figure out whats going on! 1. 2. 3. 4. This might seem a little tricky a first but I promise once you have done it a dozen times you’ll be sorted….! If you need a hand then leave a comment and I’ll get back to you.

If Everyone Knew | Now with five more facts that everyone should know. Space crayons By Kate on March 5, 2012 Hello! We’ve been struck down by some nasty bugs in the last few weeks so sorry (once again!) for the lack of updates. Last night, I finally managed to peel myself off the sofa(!) and made these galaxy crayons for son #1 (he is currently fascinated with stars and planets). If you, too, are interested in the night sky then did you know you can download high-res images from the hubble site? Anyway, the crayons are really easy to make and fun to draw with. If your little ones (or you) prefer bright colours then you can also make regular glitter crayons! More starry links: Galaxy playdough here! (I do still regularly pin my favorite crafts at Pinterest by the way…so if you wanna pop over then that would be cool!) You will need: Old crayons Superfine glitter (I used silver) Muffin tray/silicon mold How to 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Happy drawing!
