Sew Old Pillowcases Together To Make Floor Cushions Throughout the years I have collected dozens of pillowcases. Mostly due to the fact that my tastes have changed or I've had to purchase excess pillows for visitors, I have quite the stockpile in my linen closet. Now that I'm moving into a smaller space, I won't need to keep such a large inventory of pillows and pillowcases, and I found the perfect use for them. Inspired by the Bed In A Bag from Great Life Trading Co, my pillowcases would be perfect for these floor cushions. It's such an extremely easy DIY that there's honestly no point in purchasing an already constructed one. Roundup five old pillowcases that you don't use anymore, because we all know it's much better to repurpose than buy new! This is such a great way to repurpose old pillows and pillowcases that would otherwise collect dust in the closet or end up in the trash. What do you think of this DIY floor cushion?

Bouilles à câlins : chat et panda a grosse tête Bouilles à Câlins : Des Amis pour la Nuit !Avant d'utiliser les données de ce blog, merci de lire les conditions d'utilisation Difficulté : Moyenne - Temps de réalisation : 6 h Version Bouille de Panda en Doucette Version Bouille de Chat en Polaire : Je ne pouvais pas m'arrêter en si bon chemin... Basées sur le principe d'un petit corps pour une grosse tête, ces 2 créas sont un p'tit clin d'oeil au sac que je vous proposais ici : il y a quelques temps... Parce que les photos ne permettent pas de l'apprécier clairement, il me semble judicieux de vous indiquer que ce sont de "vrais" coussins de taille raisonnable (diamètre approximatif de la tête = 40/45 cm) et qu'il convient plus exactement de parler de housse de coussins puisque ceux-ci sont déhoussables.

Cement Projects | Nikitaland Experimenting with cement is something that we were not used to, so we decided to pick some up and see what we could make. We decided to create our own Cement Tealight Candle Holders from everyday containers we have around the house, like an empty Nyquil bottle, a butter container, etc. The results were fantastic! We purchased Quikrete Anchoring Cement from Lowes in a 10 lb. bucket for about $9.00 and started mixing it in a small empty sour cream container with a wooden spatula. Take the container of your choice and pour the cement into the container very carefully, then take your “cap” (laundry detergent cap, milk bottle cap, etc.) and place it in the center of your container and push down. Once you feel that the cement is getting harder around your cap, start slowly turning your cap around in a circle motion so your cap does not get cemented in. IDEA: You can also use your different containers and not make an indent in them and create some cement coasters too! Like this: Like Loading...
T-shirt slippers My son loves slippers but he only wears the ones that hook on between your big toe and middle toe (These are very common in Singapore!). We decided to make t-shirt slippers - refashioned t-shirts ! I've made 3 pairs so far, and I'm planning on making two pairs each per family members so that at least we still have one to wear while the other's in the wash! Yeah, they are washable!![Update in Oct 2012: some bloggers have requested for more detail on the DIY weaving. Hope to have that out soon!] Note: This project was inspired by 小石正子 who showed me how to weave the slippers . You can use any type of material. If you want to use cotton material, you can make it into bias tape so that the fraying edges are concealed, and you have thicker material to work with. I cut my t-shirts into 7cm strips - make the most of your t-shirt!! You will need: a) Up to 2m of nylon string for adults; or 1.5m for kids (this is only approximate) b) 2 x 30 cm of nylon string for the straps

Tutorial: Vintage-looking painted sign from salvaged wood Today I have a little tutorial for you. I'm going to show you how to (easily!) make these sweet wooden signs. You will need: piece of salvaged wood upholstery tacks or short nails (optional) hammer acrylic paint (background color) black acrylic paint (or other color to fill in letters) large paint brush small paint brushink jet printer twine Sharpie Marker or other dull, rounded tool This project started with a pile of cedar fence pieces that we've had sitting in our backyard for ages. I loved how grey and weathered they had become from sitting outside. Next, distress the wood to your liking. Next, choose your paint. (I wasn't really sure if I was going to be doing a tutorial for this or not until I was finished, so I'm afraid I'm missing a few photos for some of the steps. After you've properly dented and nicked your piece of wood to perfection and added your tacks or nails, take your large , dry paint brush and get a little paint on it. P.S.
Heut ist ein Fest bei den Fröschen am See – The Frogs Are Having A Party « Babajezas Wundertüte Das Schnittmuster für die lustigen Frösche und der grassgrüne Lieblingspulli, der wegen eines Flecks im Altkleidersack lag, sind wie geschaffen für einander. Aus dem alten grünen Pullover schneidet man die Teile gemäss Schnittmuster mit 1 cm Nahtzugabe zu. Zuerst die Punkte mit einem Zickzackstich auf die beiden Rückenteile applizieren, dann die Teile mit einem Tricotstich zusammennähn; 1. Die beiden Rückenteile rechte auf rechte Seite nähen. 2. Die vier Füsse rechte auf rechte Seite zusammennähen, Nahtzugabe zurückschneiden, wenden und die man gemäss Bezeichungen auf den Bauchteil (rechte Seite) legen. 3. Als Stopfmaterial eigenen sich Stopfwatte, Spreu, Styroporkügelchen oder alte Wollfäden, wenn man den Recycling-Gedanken noch weiterspinnt. manuell_5_download_treffen_am_froescheteich Vielleicht wäre mein Fröschchen schon im ersten Anlauf gelungen, wenn ich als Ausgangsmaterial einen verfilzten Wollpullover gehabt hätte. manuell_5_download_treffen_am_froescheteich Gefällt mir:
Owl Pillow Boxes Hi everyone! I finally had a moment to photograph a fun project that I worked on when I was super pregnant & super bored I saw these on Pinterest (LOVE that site!!) and I just knew I had to make them. How freaking cute are they? I followed the instructions from Gen exactly. note: please disregard the dusty table...I haven't been up to much cleaning with a newborn in the house, and go figure that my camera would pick that up, right?? You could put candy or money in these little boxes - a perfect favor for a party, birthday, get together, etc. The base of the owls are all cardstock - I went through my stash of designer paper to find matching monotone paper to use for the little feathers. All cardstock used was either Stampin Up or Papertrey Ink. Also, I wanted to send a huge THANK YOU to all of you sweet blog readers who have left so many kind & thoughtful comments for our family & little Miss Brooke. This first one is of Brooke last week sleeping on her Daddy.
