DIY: Papperslyktan Södermalm * Paper lantern Stockholm
Jag kan aldrig få nog av ljuslyktor som ni kanske märkt av mina Halloweenprojekt. Denna årstid behöver man ju dessutom alla ljus i mörkret man kan få, både bokstavligen och på det kreativa planet. I morse vaknade jag alldeles för tidigt med en idé i huvudet som gjorde att jag inte kunde somna om. Resultatet blev en vy av Södermalm tecknad med svart penna på crèmefärgad tapet. Big news: I can never get enough when it comes to lights and lanterns. Jag tecknade bilden på fri hand, inspirerad av den här bilden. I was inspired by this picture. Ljuskällan är en batteridriven ljusslinga i en glasburk. I used battery powered lights on a string and put it in a glass jar.

Duo Fiberworks - Duo Fiberworks - Tutorial: Rustic Leather Sketchbook
We're going to be posting tutorials for stocking stuffer gifts for children every day this week. I loved opening stocking gifts when I was a kid but now I am a mom responsible for filling that stocking up and I don't enjoy the process as much. Filling the stocking always seems to be a last-minute chore where I spend too much money and buy too much plastic junk and candy. This first tutorial is the most complicated, but also makes a nice gift for almost anyone- it's a little rustic leather sketchbook. Now I am not a book maker by any means, but I managed to make a sturdy little journal and you can make one too. Four pieces of paper, 8.5"x11"Leather or suede scraps, one 5x7" and one 3x4" Embroidery flossBeeswaxScissorsXacto knifeStraight edgeCutting matLarge sturdy needleSewing machine Begin by cutting your paper- fold all four pieces in half horizontally, open up and cut along the fold. You will have four little booklets. Run about two feet of embroidery floss lightly over beeswax.
Adding a Hidden Compartment - Woodworking Project
Adding a Hidden Compartment The current issue of Woodsmith (No. 127) features a drawer with a hidden compartment that's built into the back of the drawer. But there's more than one way to do this. A while back when I was working on some pigeon hole dividers for a desk, I added a simple hidden compartment behind one of the drawers, see photo. To open the compartment, you have to know exactly where to push. There's really nothing difficult about building the compart- ment, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind. First of all, this won't work in every situation. And when building the compartment, it's best to start with the front piece, see Fig. 2. Have a great weekend, Jon Garbison Online Editor, Woodsmith
Lid Magnets
I've been collecting metal frozen juice can lids for months now and I gotta tell ya, my husband was starting to think I was becoming a hoarder, so I had to put them to use.

So here's a little tutorial on how I made them: Materials: Frozen juice can lids Cardstock/ scrapbook paper Little magnet circles Tacky Glue/ craft glue Stamps & ink (optional) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Slideshow: Money Graffiti
To be perfectly upfront, what we’re about to show you is not something we endorse. The legality of writing on U.S. currency isn’t clear-cut: according to Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 333 (18 U.S.C. §333), “whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill… with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.” The key term here is “intent to render” that bill to be reissued, which implies that it has to be taken out of circulation, and the bills we have included in this slideshow may very well be still exchanging hands. That said, money graffiti is at the very least fun to look at. Mint.com the best FREE way to manage your money.

7 Ways To Make A Google Map Using Google Spreadsheet Data
If you maintain a lot of data in Google Spreadsheet, you’ve probably at least once thought, “Hey, I should be able to get all those locations and quickly plot them in a Google Map”. Well, you can of course. But doing this is not quite as obvious as you might expect. With Google writing both the spreadsheet and the map-making software, there should be several easy ways to do this. I’m sure you’ve done this before. Google Spreadsheet Mapper For many years now, Google has been revising its Spreadsheet Mapper tool in order to give you an easy way to create KML files for Google Earth maps and matching URLs for Google Maps. What is great about this method is that you can change the styling easily and produce map location data that looks fabulous. Also, don’t try anything smart with the Spreadsheet Mapper, like importing data from another spreadsheet automatically. error: Script invoked too many times per second for this Google user account Google Fusion Tables Map A List A Non-Google Option
Bastelidee: Fabrikschick-Vase aus rostigen Nägeln // Industrial Chic Vase Made With Rusty Nails
Rost zieht mich an. Ich musste diese langen Zimmermannsnägel einfach vor dem Schrottplatz retten, egal wie hoch der Rohstoffpreis auch sein mag. Die rostigen Nägel habe ich einfach um eine kleine braune Flasche arrangiert. Kleiner Tipp: Das geht am einfachsten, wenn man die Nägel zum Anordnen in Sand steckt und erst provisorisch den Draht fixiert. Dann mit weiteren Nägeln auffüllen und die Drahtschlaufen mit einer Krokodilszange anziehen. Fertig, Fabrikschick im selbst gemacht! Aber besser immer auf etwas stellen, das eventuell auch Rostflecken bekommen kann oder mit Klarlack überziehen, wer es mag. Passt die Katze nicht super zur Vase? Sniffed with approval. Crafts: Industrial Chic Vase Made With Rusty Nails Arrange rusty carpenter's nails around a brown bottle and secure them with two pieces of wire. It is easier if you stick the nails into sand to keep them in place. Put the wires around in a loose loop and add more nails. Done!
