Masking Tape Headboard - mad mim So, people have been pretty sneaky with masking tape lately. I’ve seen masking tape wallpaper , and wall art (the last picture in the sneak peek. I’m not sure if this is masking tape, but it looks like it to me. It could be wall decal). So the other day my daughter and I checked out The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats from the library (how I love the book. I was admiring the beautiful wallpaper, his rockin’ PJ’s, and that BED! And then it hit me. So here’s the BEFORE: And the AFTER!! Look for lots more room updates!

Grosgrain Ribbon, Hair Bows, Ribbons, and Much More Pointy/leaf tip bow instructions - Hip Girl Boutique Free Hair Bow Instructions--Learn how to make hairbows and hair clips, FREE! 9 - This is the bow all tied together. Normally I would consider this the reverse of the bow. 10 - This is the reverse. The original photo posted a while back had the hollow side of the bow (9) as the top layer and the flatter side of the bow (10) as the bottom layer (as far as I could tell). 11 - Trim the tail as you prefer (V or diagonal cut) and make another bow the same size or with 1/2" longer loops. In person, you can actually see the lower layer from the top, but when photographing bows, it seems that the top layer always ends up looking larger than it actually is. I also need to mention that "prleaf" adds a shank button to the center so the shank fits down into the folds and she sews through all the folds, securing the shank that way.

Fabric Flowers Tutorial Site by MakeBowsandMore.com Tutorial ~ Simple Magnet Board Bow Keeper I am so excited about this project! Ever since I saw the magnet board my sister used to keep my niece’s hair accessories on I have wanted one. It’s a fun alternative to a ribbon bow keeper; you just place the metal clip on the magnet that you stick on the board and viola’. How To Make A Magnet Board Bow Keeper Supplies: Pre-cut sheet metal – I bought mine at Home Depot for $5.00 and it measured 12×18E-6000 glue, or something similarDouble fold bias tapeRic racDisc magnetsHot glue and gunPaper clip Instuctions: With the wrong side of the sheet metal up, place the bias tape over the edge of one side. Now run a thin strip of glue right under the bias tape. Take the bias tape around the corner like shown in the picture, and move around the rest of the board in the same manner until all the edges have been covered. Now glue down the little corners like shown with the hot glue. At this point you could embellish it any way you like. Now all you have to do is stick on the magnets and hang! ~Destri

Landscaping our front and back yard, Cinco de Mayo Party, Prom, Graduation, my hubby's B-day, and a trip to FL for my mother-in-law's birthday celebration. Whew! it's been exhausting. It's been hard to keep up with the swirling ideas I have in my head for new art pieces and to finish the ones I have started. But, but, but, I wanted to share this little tutorial I put together.... I made this wrist corsage for my son Nick to give to his sweet girlfriend Laura for Prom.

The Craft-Arty Kid: School jumper to sequin shoulders Sequined shoulders seem to be the current thing so here's the run down of how I produced the look myself. The jumper I used was my old P.E. sweatshirt from school. It has an ugly neck and the school logo on it. They had to go. I cut off the elasticated neck for a more flattering look and unpicked the logo, which made a few holes but they're barely noticeable. Then I made a pattern (from my essay notes...) for the area I wanted to fill with sequins. First I sewed on little black sequins around the edge of the paper pattern and then filled in the space with large silver sequins. I then sewed on smaller sequins to fill in the gaps. For an added extra I sewed on some chain on the front side of the sequins. This jumper is now definitely too cool for school.

Handcrafted Hitching Post: Chronicles Of A Shoe-Obsessed Bride, Part 5 (Ribbon Flower and Shoe Cuff Tutorial) So I know my over-the-top flowered shoes aren't for everyone (but I love them, so that's what matters, right?). However, the ribbon roses my mom made for them could be used for a ton of other projects too! For bouquets, boutonnieres, on a dress sash, in your hair, grouped together to adorn pews... there are a lot of possibilities out there! A while ago I searched the Weddingbee blog for a tutorial on ribbon flowers, but could only find clay and fabric flowers, so I asked my mom to take step by step pictures of her making the flowers. Here are the instructions: Cut the ribbon to desired length. Roll the ribbon five or six times and sew a few stitches to secure it. Fold the ribbon at about a 45 degree angle. Roll the ribbon along the fold until the fold disappears. Secure with a few stitches. Fold again at 45 degree angle. Roll again along the fold until the fold disappears. Continue folding and rolling to the end of the ribbon. The ribbon roses are now ready to decorate with! {Source}
