Large T-Shirt to Fitted Tee Tutorial | a.steed's.life I have these two t-shirts that I love. They're soft, comfortable, and have good worn (and sentimental) designs on them. But, I never wear them for anything other than around the house because they are large men's t-shirts and look completely shapeless on me. Then I found this great tutorial on YouTube for how to make a big t-shirt a fitted shirt! - T-Shirt Surgery: How to Make a Shirt Fit So, while I was staying with my mom at her camper this summer (she lives & travels in an RV), I asked her to help me try it out. First, a before & after look at the t-shirt we did. So, here's how it's done. Start with a t-shirt you love that's just too big Turn the shirt inside out and lay a shirt that DOES fit you on top of it, lining up the collars so that you can be sure it is centered over your large t-shirt. Thanks to brianagayle for the video tutorial & tips! No time to make your own?
DIY ropa! Kojo Designs Spring Scrapbook Paper Tree Hello fellow crafters! Tristin and I were invited to be today's featured guest blogger over at Everyday Mom Ideas!

We recommend the following: cool Supplies: Stamp Fabric ink pad Pre-washed Twill trim (I use 1/2" wide) Scissors Iron (optional) The stamp I use is a letterpress block I made to say "BELROSSA" To get started, make sure the trim is pre-washed to minimize stamp fading. Simply press the stamp onto the ink pad and then onto the trim about an inch or more apart After stamping the trim, I like to heat set the ink onto the trim. This is optional, but will give longer lasting results. Next, cut the trim into pieces, and you are ready for sewing! To sew, fold the raw edges under and sew a straight line up and down near the fold. *I found my letter press letters at a local antique store, they are also available multiple placed around the internet...etsy, ebay, antique webstores.

All Things Mamma — Family, Home…LIFE Holder for Charging Cell Phone (made from lotion bottle) My husband and I both have cell phones. And both of us have phone chargers. And that means lots of obnoxious cords. (Okay, and how about when you’re in a hotel or visiting family/friends. I was looking around on the internet for a solution and found this. It made the perfect little holder for my cell phone while it’s being charged. Holder for Charging Cell Phone And no more phone hanging down from the outlet while in this room or that room……..the cord and phone are now up off the ground, and tucked away into the little holder, while the phone drinks up a full charge. And of course I couldn’t just leave the poor little holder alone……I had to Mod Podge some fabric right onto it for some kick. If you look closely, you can see that the orange print is fabric. And my favorite part, is that I didn’t have to buy a thing. And turns out, it’s pretty useful. Would you like to make your own Cell Phone Holder? First of all, take a look around your house? But here’s how I added the fabric:
Re-purposing: Tshirts into 5-strand-braided-headbands I was walking through Target a few weeks ago and noticed this little knit fabric headband that was not just braided together…….but woven. I decided they were charging way too much for something that could be made with t-shirt scraps. And that means free. So there you have it. A nice and easy project to give my bad-hair-day head some love. (Or you may need one for working out. I kinda love it on my little girl . She always has little hair fly-aways that get into her face…….and this helps with that problem. It even works great with her hair down…..and keeps that hair tucked behind her ears. And yep, good for me too. Thanks little t-shirt scraps. Want to make your own? First, find some old t-shirts. Then, cut your fabric into long strips. Next, stack your 5 strips on top of each other and sew together at one end. Now, pull on each strip of fabric so that they kind of curl on the edges. But let me explain a little better. First, you’ll work on the left side. And that’s it. This post is sponsored by:
V and Co how to: jersey knit bracelet i don't know what it is about this time of year that makes me just want to have my bare feet in the sand, be watching the sun setting into the ocean, and breathing in the warm salty air of the beach...as i get older, more and more i find myself missing that place i used to go to almost every.single.day. as a teen. (my skin doesn't miss it. as a matter of fact, i now wish i listened more and DID put SPF on my face...hindsight is 20/20). my mom calls me from her walk on the beach almost every morning...*sigh*yeah, i get a little homesick around this time of the year. heck on my pinterest my "dreaming of summer" has the most pictures in it. ah yes. i miss my ocean. case in point. this bracelet, brought a flood of memories, not because i used to have one like it but because i can totally see me wearing it by the beach, not caring that it's gotten salty and wet, because i can totally make another one in like less than 5 minutes flat when i get home. *sigh* okay... *cut off excess tails!

Es para hacerlo con la ayuda de los papás, con materiales que de todas maneras tenemos en casa (salvo un par que habrá que salir a comprar). Se trata de cómo convertir una caja de pizza en un atril o una especie de caballete que es ideal para poner en el piso, conseguir tizas y plumones y jugar y jugar. Este proyecto lo encontré en Kireei y luego fui a la página original: “Whipup” para verlo completo. Pide una pizza, de preferencia familiar, guarda la caja y busca los siguientes materiales: Pieza extra de cartón corrugado del mismo tamaño que la parte superior de la caja de pizza.Una tapa de botellaUna pequeña pieza de espumaPapel de contacto transparente (para la pizarra acrílica)Cartulina blanca.Pintura negra para pizarra (*)Cutter, tijeras, pistola de silicona.
