Beaded Wrap Bracelet Video Tutorial | Make Bracelets!
This is the single wrap bracelet I made while filming the wrap bracelet tutorial. It has such a different look to it than the one I made this past weekend. It is amazing the different look and style you can create with the same basic pattern just by changing length of the bracelet and the type and size of the bead! Here is my attempt at a little video production for you. Warning: Video is 15 minutes long – Yikes – I feel like I over explain things. Grab a little cuppa’ something warm and cozy before you watch so you don’t get antsy. Post production notes: I did go ahead and put a tiny dab of GS Hypo Cement on the nymo thread knots on either side of the bracelet – but just on the nymo. I hope this video helps you make your own beaded wrap bracelets! Please share some pictures of your beaded wrap bracelet creations with me by linking back to this tutorial on your blog or website.

Put Up Your Dukes: braided scarf tutorial
I have a tutorial that is forty thrillionty times easier and better than my previous (ahem, first ever...give me some grace!) tutorial. It is accessible to infinitely more people (you dont have to have a baby, OR a dress to start out with). And it is really simple. there are only 4 lines of stitching total. Oh, did I mention it's mega cute and chic also? 5 weeks ago I saw this scarf on pinterest. it was pinned by a VERY popular pinner that I follow under her DIY board. LOVE these colors. must make a yellow and gray one for me. source The more I thought about it, the more I wanted this, and wanted it CHEAP. Then I got busy. the hardest part was figuring out the knot/braid, but Jesse jumped down and took charge like a freaking Eagle Scout. High on our success and planning the tutorial that would certainly be "my big break," I tweeted the following: And then naturally I got sidetracked with sewing orders and running and sleeping and life and never followed through on sharing this with anyone.
Fuck Yeah, Make Stuff!
Recently I wanted to add more interesting vegetables to my dishes to encourage myself to eat more healthy. After some research I ended up buying the brieftons spiralizer as it seemed like a good little tool for producing spirals of vegetables - just what I want. That, combined with some good recipes, has made me a happy full girl for more than one evening. Here is what you can do to prepare a stir fried chicken with vegetables dish. I know I’m not that creative; the recipe is what I found here. I’ve included some photos taken during the process to make it easy for you to follow along. Ingredients 1/4 lb zucchini 1/4 lb carrots 2 spring onions 1 lb skinless chicken breasts 1 red chili pepper 4 tbsp peanut oil 3 tbsp oyster sauce 4 tbsp soy sauce coriander Salt and pepper Steps Cut the chicken into 1” thick pieces. Peel the carrots and wash the zucchini, and then use the brieftons slicer to create all those interesting looking vegetable spirals. Then mix the oyster sauce and some soy sauce in a bowl.
DIY Découpage Floral Bag - Honestly WTF
When H&M asked us to DIY a boho-inspired item for their summer issue, découpage was the first thing that came to mind. Honestly, does it get any better than customizing a simple handbag with a brilliant floral print? However you create it, it’ll be satisfying to know that you’ve designed yourself a one of a kind bag! You’ll need:a handbagcotton fabric with a large floral patternpainter’s tapeMod Podgecraft paint2 small plastic dishes2 brushesscissors Start by taping off the edges and hardware of the handbag. Squeeze a dollop of colored craft paint into a small disposable container. Allow the first layer to dry completely. While the paint dries, carefully cut out a handful of flowers from the fabric. Arrange them onto the painted section of the bag. Remove the painter’s tape when the Mod Podge has dried clear and your floral handbag is complete! (all images by HonestlyWTF)
