Hank and Hunt - HOME - HOW TO MAKE ANIMATED DIY IMAGES Hello! Today I thought I'd share a little trick of mine for diys. How do I make those little animated GIFS of my DIY projects? It is really easy, let me show you how. The first thing you need to do is set up for the shoot. Set your starting photo, here I used scissors. For those who want to attempt this at home, download the images HERE: Open Photoshop. Now, place IMAGE 2 by using FILE / PLACE and selecting your image. Repeat for IMAGE 3 and IMAGE 4. Reorder your layers, we want IMAGES 1, 2, 3, 4, 3 (copy), 2 (copy) from bottom to top. Here comes the fun part. Click on the little text paragraph in the upper right corner of the animation window (I don't know what it is) and select MAKE FRAMES FROM LAYERS. Now we adjust the seconds each frame will play. Hit play and do a happy dance. Now, let's save our masterpiece. You will need to change the file type to GIF. Upload this awesomeness to your next DIY post and you are sure to amaze your readers.

DIY Center | One Stylish Bride - Ultimate Wedding Ideas - Part 3 I personally love alternative bouquets and I’m constantly on the look out for new materials that I can make bouquets with.

Japanese craft books Well, I did it. I survived another long school summer holiday. My ears and my nerves are battered and shattered but I survived. Just. Anybody else find being a parent hard sometimes ? Good, I thought so. Did you feel it ? Anyway, at last I can feel my crafting mojo returning, I sat in the garden yesterday and sewed a little sewing, mini tissue holders for Molly and her friend Ellie to put in their school bags. I also at last had time to peruse the pages of my latest Cotton Time mag, I love these simple embroidery ideas, and there's some lovely linen work too, nice linen seems so hard to get hold of in the U.K, anybody know any good suppliers ? Some nice applique, and lots of shopping bag ideas. There are also some very cute softies there are pattern pieces for Red Riding Hood, but no instructions, but I guess she 's simple enough to put together. And how about this little sweetie I love his little apron. Available from e-bay amazonjp and Superbuzzy usually stock these mags too.
