recycle project no. 7 - magazine bowl This project took me so much longer than I thought it would. I may not be finished yet (I'll explain in a minute) but I want to move on to other ideas so I decided to post about it now. I certainly didn't reinvent the wheel with this one but it was something fun and super easy to make. Materials:- a magazine (I didn't use more than half of a magazine)- glue gun I started by making a tight little roll and making the flat circle that I showed you the other day. This can also make a useful trivet if you continue the flat shape to the desired size. Each strip that I used is made from one page of the magazine. I added each strip to my piece by keeping the folded edge outside and the open side toward the inside. As you place each strip down only do so a short piece at a time because the glue dries really fast. I glued each strip of paper down, leaving a small piece unglued so that I could tuck in the following strip under it. Here's my unfinished bowl.
部落格小玩意—告訴你氣溫幾度時貓怎麼睡 - 貓事大吉 前幾天安裝了一款新的部落格小玩意，就是下面這款貓咪睡姿溫度計+時鐘。 這東西顧名思義是有時鐘+溫度計的功能，但加了「貓咪睡姿」四個字是什麼意思呢？其實是它有「依溫度顯示貓咪不同睡覺姿勢」的功能！ 養貓的人都知道，貓咪冷時會縮起來像球一樣睡，溫暖的話一般睡姿，如果熱的話則會把身體伸長長來睡，非常有特色。這部落格小玩意依照貓咪的特性，平時會顯示一隻在沙發上依時間跟氣溫不停活動的貓咪，如果你想知道今天幾度，按下下方日文字，馬上會出現溫度，還有貓咪擺示範姿勢給你看！ 例如，最近才五月天，卻悶熱得不得了，所以在沙發上的貓咪都出現下面這種畫面了！ 按一下日文字，哇！ 好笑的是，我回過頭一看，咕嚕米在貓樹上面伸長身體睡覺，阿貓在床上翻肚子變成大字型，完全是很「熱」的樣子。 如果你想知道在各種溫度下的貓咪都在幹嘛？ 平時自由活動的貓咪則有各種姿態，而且是動態的，例如也會洗臉跟舔腳，好像在部落格上養了一隻貓一樣。 網站上的貓咪活動全圖。 貓咪溫度計網站： 有人問怎麼放到部落格裡？

Paper Flowers – Anyone Can Do That | FindInspirations.com 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. 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.

Easy Origami Envelope | If you’d like to make these cute little “Flap Lock” Origami Envelopes–all you’ll need is a piece of square paper…any size. I used Christmas scrapbook paper. 1. Fold the paper in half to form a triangle. Make sure your edges are even. 2. 3. fold the right corner about 1/3 of the way to the left. 4. 5. 6. 6. 7. 8. 9. And there you have it! Now scurry off and make a million of these–or at least 24 if you’re using them for the Family Advent Countdown Calendar. Not in the mood to fold your own?
Gift Ideas for poor creative souls (6) You know how it goes, a friend calls you and invites you to dinner at the last minute. OMG! What gift can you take?! You scrabble around the cupboards trying to find a box of chocolates or a bottle of wine but find that most of the chocolates have been eaten and the wine has gone. I thought this was a wonderful idea. Supplies: Patterned paper-one 12 x 12" sheet. These directions will give you one flower. 1. 4. 5. Tip: For single sided paper. 6. Note: Florist tape is stretchy, just play with it and pull gently but firmly as you move down the stem. 7. Note, you will have to play around with the height of the petals, and where on the petal you start your tape. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. For tutorials on how to market yourself online, go here.
Folded Paper German Star Video Tutorial I made a tutorial for folded paper German Stars. Sometimes they are called Moravian Stars or Froebel Stars. You may want to make some for decorating a Christmas tree, gifts, wreaths or to display in a pretty bowl. My favorite are the pure white... so pristine and elegant. They are very pretty in bright colors too. These remind me of a quilt pattern. A popular shade of blue... cool and wintry. My tutorial is in two parts Part 1 Part 2 (Note: Traditionally these German Stars were dipped in paraffin to help protect them from the outdoor elements. In response to some questions I have received about the paper and the wax: I have used paper like the kind you use for the computer and taped the strips together for the length I needed. I have ordered paper strips from the Starcraft Etsy Shop and really like them. I LOVE the metallic paper ~ it is easy to work with and makes gorgeous stars. Construction paper does not work.

Wipe Off Weekly Menu Board I am a meal planner. I refuse to go grocery shopping without my week’s worth of meals planned out and list made. (It’s either that or wander aimlessly around the grocery store for two hours and then make ten more trips back during the week to get things I forgot.) Once I get the groceries unloaded, I usually forget what I planned for, so I put together this super easy wipe-off menu board to keep track of what’s for dinner each night! Wipe-Off Menu Board Tutorial Supplies: Picture frame with glass front (I love these 12×12 frames I found at Ben Franklin for only $7!) 1. 2. 3. 4. Now everyone in the family knows what’s for dinner each week! I decided my frame would look better black in my kitchen, so I spray painted it black. Little Birdie Secrets are regular contributors to Make and Takes and was born from the crafting obsession of three friends living in the Pacific Northwest.
Origami roses The sight of these classy chocolate roses got me into a serious mood to make roses, paperwise that is. And I ended up making 3 different kinds cos’ they look so beautiful that I couldn’t wait to learn to make them all! 1. Kawasaki rose I first tried the Kawasaki rose, named after its creator Toshikazu Kawasaki, by following this demo and cross referenced with another demo [part 2|3]. The leaves are folded based on this tutorial. Notes: There were several steps I had no idea what to do, so after some struggling and hair-pulling, I finally figured out what was going on EXACTLY! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 2. I watched this demo to make the Bird base rose created by James Sakoda. 3. 3. Followed this demo to make this rose bud. Both centre creases must be well-creased mountain folds, so that the folding up of each quarter will be easier. [Update: See how I’ve used one of these roses for a DIY wedding – preview and reveal]
