Plumas de plumas de bricolaje I’ve got a lot of embroidery floss left over from my middle school days. Of course I’ve kept it around, because I’m a pack rat when it comes to crafting supplies. I used some of it to stitch embroidery hoops, and some for DIY baker’s twine, but I still have a lot left. I found this wrapped feather pen tutorial from idlewife, and thought it’d be a good use of my floss. The feathers were purchased from Joann Fabrics a long time back. And the pens were spare ones from our drawer. steps /1/ Start by taking the gel pen cartridge from the casing. Check to see how the end of your feather fits into the pen cartridge. Tie one end of the embroidery thread around the taped end. /4/ Start wrapping the pen, using the basic friendship knot. To change colors, use the existing color to tie a knot to the new colored thread. /5/ When you’ve reached the tip of the pen, bind off the thread. And you’re done!

Let me know what you think! Jess xox Still want more?! Monograma tapizado de tela Rápida y Fácil | I always wanted a 3D monogram but here in the Philippines, it’s either there’s none or just too expensive. Like the wooden one I found in BO Concept for P3,000! I think Heima has fabric monograms too, I’m just not sure, but even if I knew, I don’t think I could ever afford it anyway. So the only solution to have one is to MAKE one! Now, I found a lot of tutorials around the blogsphere, often involves glueing cardboards together and paper mache. I don’t have a glue gun yet (but I have glue sticks, I don’t know why I forgot to buy the gun when I bought them) so gluing things just don’t appeal to me that much. So to all the lazy crafters out there, here’s a super easy fabric monogram tutorial.

{} Diy Martes - Estación de recarga para todos sus dispositivos - Tasha Chawner By Tasha Chawner on July 24, 2012 With the recent addition of more electronic devices to the household, the recharge cables were starting to get a little out of control.

And with just a little time and a few bits and pieces, you can tame all of your recharge cables too! What you need: cardboard storage box (an old shoe box would work just as well) book plates (the brass eyelets I had originally wanted to use proved too hard to find in our little town) small brads craft knife sharp pointy item to punch holes power board paint pencil ruler What to do: Measure and mark on your box where you want to place the book plates. from left: book plates; marking the holes to cut out & punch; all cut & ready to file. Once I’d cut the rectangles, I gave them a quick file to tidy up some of the raggedy edges and used my big needle to punch the holes needed for the brads. Too easy!
Blogs, perros, ranas y libros:. Letras de madera para niños Okay, so I've already covered some basic paper mache letters in vintage comics, but I found some really sturdy, good quality, wooden letters and I couldn't resist. I could only find an 'S', a 'J' and an 'E' but luckily I have a son named Josh, a good friend's child named Sebb and a gorgeous little lady called Emily, who these will be just great for! For the boys letters I'm using my faithful vintage comics. So here's what I did for the 'S'... First find some vintage comics. Cut some strips and make sure you include some interesting detail, including the price, date or speech bubbles. I use decoupatch glue/varnish for a glossy finish. Carefully stick pieces of the comic onto the wooden letter with a brush. Ensure you cover all of the letter. Layer at least twice to make sure you don't miss any little areas of uncovered letter. To ensure a smooth finish, cut small 'V' shapes around the corners of the letter. The finished 'S'. Hanging on the wall. From this... ...to this.
