DIY Newspaper Gift Bag
This newspaper gift bag is a cute way to wrap a birthday present for a friend! It’s super easy and lots of fun! I used the comic section, but go ahead and use any other section or kind of paper you like! Thanks to www.howaboutorange.blogspot.com for all the basics for this tutorial! You’ll need 2 sheets of newspapergluealso super glue if you wantribbon or stringcard stock First, stack 2 pieces of newspaper onto of each other. Fold along the lines listed in the picture above, creating 5 rectangles across and a fold on the top and bottom. Cut two pieces of card stock to 4.25″ x 1″, and glue them on the widest two panels just under the top fold. Put glue on the outside of the 0.5″ tab and bring the left-most panel over to form the body of the bag, aligning the cut edge of the panel with the folded edge of the flap. Now we have to close the bottom. Put glue on both flaps and then fold them inward to close the bag. Cut a piece of card stock to 4″ x 2.5″ and glue it to the bottom of the bag.

Felt Flower Pillow Tutorial I'm really in love with the versatility of felt at the moment, plus it's a fabric that's perfect for the fall season. So, I decided to combine felt with some of the Marimekko fabric that I recently purchased at Crate and Barrel Outlet and create a fun throw pillow. Here's what you'll need if you want to make your own... SuppliesFelt - Two colors for the flower petals and one color for the centerFabric - The Merimekko fabric I used has a bold leaf design on it to complement the flower, but you can use any fabric you like.Piping 1.5" Cover Button Kit ScissorsRotary cutter (optional)Freezer paper Polyester battingCoordinating threadSewing machine (not pictured)Straight pins (not pictured) Step 1: Cut a piece of freezer paper into an 8.5" x 11" rectangle and print this pattern for the petals onto it. Step 2: Cut apart the large and small freezer paper petal pattern pieces (say that five times fast!) Step 3: Carefully cut around the felt and freezer paper bonded pattern pieces.

I Charleston Sofia - Lindy Hop Bulgaria November 11, 2012 by admin Преди 2 месеца обявихме начало на снимките на I Charleston Sofia. Организацията по самото заснемане не бе от най-лесните. Трябваше да се изберат подходящи локации, да се предвидят движения и да се композират кадри, които биха свършили работа след това при монтажа на видеото. Никога не бяхме правили подобен проект и неизвестните бяха много. В последствие, обаче, нещата сами се подредиха. Самото заснемане продължи 3 дена. embedded by Embedded VideoYouTube Direkt Накрая отново искаме да благодарим на всички, които взеха участие в клипа и дадоха всичко от себе си!

D.I.Y: Recycled T-Shirt Scarf // Gettin' Crafty! | Ninth and Bird D.I.Y: Recycled T-Shirt Scarf 1} Gather a few old t-shirts you don't wear anymore; thrift them or buy new -- but choose thin, soft (preferably worn out) t-shirts. Find two t-shirts of different colors that go well together. 2} Lay the shirt flat on the table or floor. 3} Cut 1 1/2 inch strips, remove the hemmed edges. Cut them as long as possible; I went from the bottom of the front of the shirt all the way to the end of the back on some pieces. 4} Cut off the sleeves of the shirt and save them for the end. 5} Organize the strips by length and gently pull on them. 6} NOW GET CREATIVE! 7} Tie together, trim ends, and wrap with the excess sleeve fabric you saved.

Dyed Glass Luminaries from Baby Jars | Inspired By Family I was sitting at a little artsy café with my hubby enjoying some decadent chocolate fondue for our 9th anniversary and suddenly I had this great idea: dyed glass luminaries from baby jars. This was featured in the Simple Summer Magazine Issue here. As I sat there reminiscing and taking in the past 9 years, thinking through the great moments, the not so great moments, the waitresses interesting accent, the cafés decor, our wedding day, how cute my husband looks…… Just a quick note to my fellow male friends: Yes, women can be in the midst of a romantic moment and still think about mundane task like the grocery list. As I sat there thoroughly engaged in our romantic evening enjoying our deep and silly conversation, I was also coming up with a list in my head on how I can make a version of these glass vase luminaries myself. I have a habit of including my husband in my crafting thought process which I am sure he loves (insert smirk). Dyeing Baby Food Jars easy as 1, 2, 3 Supplies: Process:

DIY Tutorial: Mirrored Collars - ÆTIENNE.NET August 26, 2010 While I’m (still) working on another DIY project, I did a quick one this morning to make up for my lack of tutorials lately! Inspiration: I’ve wanted to make a detachable collar with a mirrored surface for some time (no idea why), but it wasn’t until I saw Lucinda‘s post on her prismatic shoes that I realized that it was totally DIYable- with old CDs. What you will need: Unwanted ShirtAn old CD, or two, depending on how much surface you want to cover.Basin/Old Container that can fit the CD nicely. Instructions: Cut out the collar from the shirt.Place the CD into the container, and pour boiling water into the container. Cut the CD out into angular shapes, then place them on your collar to see if you like it. Final Result: Failed Example: I actually wanted the pieces to coat the collar completely, but I’m just lazy not a fan of shiny objects. I’ll post photos of myself wearing the collar soon.
