The Knotted Headband Tutorial
My husband came home one day with a headband he had found in a parking lot (I know...sooo sanitary) and said "I bet you could make one of these" so I did...because I'm all for stealing awesome ideas. Difficulty: Medium Time: 30 minutes Cost: Under $10 Fun-ness: Why would I do a boring project? Materials: Yarn (100% cotton for a crisp look, acrylic for a softer look) Size H or J hook Ribbon (approximately 1/2 inch wide) Hot Glue Gun Directions Step 1: Creating the Chains And that's it! So wear your headband with pride! Love the headband, but don't want to make it yourself?
Altoids Pincushion Tin
Posted on June 18, 2011 Here is my version of an Altoids tin repurposed into a pincushion and sewing gadget box. The materials used in this project were from an Envelope of Doom (EOD) swap I participated in. If you aren’t familiar with an EOD swap, its where you put some crafting materials into an envelope and mail them off to your partner. The challenge is to use the materials you receive to make things for your partner and then return the finished items back to your swap partner. I was inspired by this Altoids project which used a magnetic sheet on the inside of the lid to hold needles and such. Over at Craftsters Rackycoo’s tutorial is outstanding and has step-by-step photos showing how to decorate your tin. I hope my swap partner will enjoy her recycled Altoids tin as much as I did creating the little sewing box. Tags: Altoids, pincushion, recycled-crafting, tin
braided headbands
I am STILL growing my hair out and while I have surpassed the really difficult stage, it seems I am always one bad hair day away from shaving my head. I've done it before and could do it again- once you know how easy it is to have short hair or very little hair, it is SO tempting to go back. That is why having lots of hair accessories on hand is a MUST! I have a variety of ways that I like to pull my hair back and lately I've been having fun making my own braided headbands. Start with a blank headband or even upcycle one that you are ok covering up. Using fabric (pretty much anything), cut into strips a little longer than the headband and braid the strips. I used a thin and stretchy jersey fabric. Using craft glue or hot glue, wrap the headband with a strip of the same fabric. Glue the braid to the top of the wrapped headband. You could use just about any kind of fabric, fiber, lace, ribbon, etc to braid and even combine materials. Upcycled fabric is also great to use.
Circle Zip Earbud Pouch Tutorial - Dog Under My Desk
I use a little zippered pouch to carry around my earbuds since they are the fancy microphone ones and I don’t want them to break or get tangled. Some of you have commented that you are looking for some small, simple gift ideas. This is definitely simple to make, and a little more fun than the typical rectangular zippered pouch! I can see these as the perfect gift for teenage cousins or nieces or girlfriends or even teacher gifts. Fun, quick, and cute! It doesn’t take very much fabric so you could even use scraps! UPDATE: I have completely re-written this tutorial with twice as many bright, clear photos and more detailed instructions and it is available as a pattern in my pattern shop. First, download the pattern template HERE. Cut from main fabric: 1 circle 2 half circles 1 tab Cut from lining fabric: 1 circle 2 half circles Cut from batting (or medium weight interfacing, if you prefer): 1 circle 2 half circles You will also need a 1″ wide nylon 5″ or longer zipper. Time to sew!

"I DO" Re-Done! Headband tutorial
It's here! I mentioned a little while back that I was taking a scissors to my wedding dress. Yes, I was completely serious! And since I'm having my 7 year wedding anniversary this month (and since June is such a common wedding month) I'm doing tutorials on things made from my dress all month long! You can grab a button from my side bar if you'd like to play along! So you would think I would start with a picture to show you my wedding dress in all it's glory (on my wedding day). So far I'm loving what's coming out of the appliques shown here (which I'm using some of today). I used the same simple basic headband tutorial I told you about here, you can find the tutorial here. So this is the part from the dress. You can see where I pinned and ran my sewing machine to attach the ribbon to the hair tie. Enjoy! Everyone is crazy about linksoflondon, when you intend to buy necklaces & wenger watches, don’t go away, just explore citizen watches store and enjoy mens watches with your family.
