DIY: Magazine Bowl

DIY: Magazine Bowl
I made this bowl a couple of years ago while Daniel and I were visiting his parents in Michigan. It is made from magazine pages that I picked specifically for their bright colors. I've seen this project on various blogs here and there, but I think Cindy brought it to my attention way back when. We had quite a few lovely crafting days at her house. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. When my bowl was finished and the glue was dry, I sprayed it with shellac to make it shiny. Great for storing hair thingies in the bathroom.

Make your own jellyfish in a bottle. « BhoomPlay ~ Note for Thai fans ~ เป็นโพสเก่าที่มีแฟนบล๊อกจากต่างประเทศขอมาให้เขียนเป็นภาษาอังกฤษนะคะส่วนแฟนบล็อกที่ยังไม่เคยอ่านเรื่องนี้เลย ฉบับภาษาไทยดูที่นี่ค่ะ The other day, while I was thinking to get something to put in the water bottle for Bhoom to shake for fun. I saw a plastic grocery bag next to me and then this idea popped up. With some trials and errors, my little jellyfish comes alive just like I thought it would be. : ) When daddy and son first saw it, they’re surprised with their jaws wide open. Things you need to make your own jellyfish (Hope you can find all these in your kitchen) : 1. Instruction: • Flatten the bag and cut off the handle and the bottom part (see picture 1) • Cut along both sides (see picture 2) to split into 2 plastic sheets – by the way, we only use just one of them. • From the center of the plastic sheet, fold it like a tiny balloon to make the head part and tie it with the thread – not too tight (see picture 3).

Repurpose: Old records / LPs / Vinyl Today, a few more vinyl refabs because apparently I can't get enough. Look closely at the accessory stands above. Those are sewing machine bobbins! We've all seen Paul Villinski's famous 2008 butterfly installations. I see these all over Etsy etc. Combine old 45s and vintage tea towels to create original retro wall art. Or, combine a vinyl decal and your old LPs to re-create a well-known Banksy installation! Vinyl bookends. Yay! I'm a sucker for whimsy ... and I love spinning tops. No roundup of vinyl repurposes is complete without a bowl tutorial right? And once you've mastered the bowl, isn't this vinyl chandelier fantastic? Earring storage! I spotted these vinyl switch plates at Werecords by Monkey.

How to Make Paper Pencils (tutorial) I have always wanted to make my own pencils, but the thought of shaping two pieces of wood to allow a piece of lead to sit perfectly inside made me think it wasn’t worth the effort. For some reason I was looking at some pieces of lead I have (for a drafting pencil) and “pop” there it was.. a solution to my DIY longing. Here is a tutorial to make pencils that is so ridiculously easy I’ve made 10 pencils since the idea came to me yesterday! Enjoy. Paper: I recommend using 6″ origami paper. Here’s a video I made so you can watch me make it from start to finish! I have to admit I really enjoyed doing this craft. Hope you’re just as excited about this as I am! leads {here} paper {here} mod podge {here} {If you like pencils, you may also like my toadstool pencil craft!} Share 16K+ Kimanh Hi my name's Kimanh.

41 Easy Things To Do With Mason Jars Lego Kleenex Box Cover Tutorial “This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Kleenex but all my opinions are my own. #KleenexAllergy #pmedia Every year I think that come fall I’m going to feel so much better. Add in the fact that I also live with kitties, who I’m kind of, sort of technically allergic to and well, bring the Kleenex on already. And while Kleenex has a pretty good assortment of boxes that are pretty and match my decor I thought it might be fun to whip up a tissue box cover that I could take down to my nephews. For this project you will need: rectangular box of Kleenex from Target (check out this great coupon for a freebie!) Now for whatever reason I simply could NOT find a rectangular tissue box cover and I looked all over town. Take your heavy duty cardboard (not corrugated but thick and smooth) and measure out the shapes you see above. Trim as well as you can will a very sharp X-acto knife and ruler. Voila!

Ric Rac Rose I love these easy-to-make Ric Rac Roses! Isn’t it beautiful? You can make these and use them in hair, on jewelry, on clothing, as embellishments on anything! And with The Ribbon Retreat’s large selection of Ric Rac, your possibilities are endless! – Supplies – Ric Rac (I used 3/4″) Hot Glue Accessory to attach it to The first thing to know about this Ric Rac Rose is that the wider the Ric Rac, the taller the rose. I started out by cutting two pieces of Ric Rac at 21 inches. I ended up using a bit less than 21 inches… probably 16 or 17 inches. Now we are going to “braid” the two pieces of Ric Rac together. Keep going until you get to the end. Take the end and curl the Ric Rac in. Continue rolling the Ric Rac. You can put a little hot glue on the sides as you are rolling it. Here is how the side looks. When you like the size of your rose, you can stop rolling. Now put some glue on the under side of the rose. Bring the Ric Rac under the rose and adhere it to the glue. It looks pretty, just like this!

DIY Toothbrush Holder Here's an easy way to store your toothbrush. Simply recycling a large plastic cap and using a piece of velcro! Aquí está una manera fácil de guardar sus cepillos de dientes. Simplemente reciclando un tapon de plástico y usando un poco de velcro! Voici un moyen facile de ranger vos brosses à dent. Il suffit de recycler un grand bouchon en plastique et d'avoir un peu de velcro! Usé tapones de garafones de 20L, de los cuales quité las etiquetas. J'ai employé des bouchons de bouteilles de 20L, desquelles j'ai enlevé les étiquettes. I cut a notch with a cutter. Corté una muesca con un cutter. J'ai découpé une encoche avec un cutter. I thought it would be prettier, so I spray painted the caps (be sure to use non-toxic paint). Me pareció que iba a ser más bonito pintar los tapones con aerosol (tengan en cuenta de utilizar una pintura no tóxica). Je trouvais ça plus joli, donc j'ai peint les bouchons avec un spray (attention veillez à utiliser de la peinture non toxique). Et voila!
