Chic Cocktail Napkins Patchwork Jean Bowl Recycled Denim Corset Pant Leg Jean Doll Skirt Crocheted Cutoffs Old Jeans to New Hairband Throw Pillow Cover with Recycled Jeans Old Jeans to New Hairband Today, I'm going to show you how to make a cute little hairband using some fabric from old jeans. You will need ... Scissor, pen, fabric from old jeans, glue gun a piece of plain hairband, piece of cardboard from packaging. First, draw a 5 petals flower The shape and size is absolutely depends on your preference... Trace the flower shape onto the jeans... Cut out the flower... you will need about 6 of them... Cut 4 of them into below... a 3 petal piece and a 2 petal piece... And the balance 2 flowers into a petal piece... You will have some extra pieces... Now, lay a 2 petals piece onto a 3 petal piece to create pattern... And lay another 3 petal piece again... The sequence I apply here is 3 - 2 - 3 - 2 -1 - (1x2)* - 1 (1 x2) is lay a one petal into a 'V' shape. Hope this make sense to you... See the further picture... This is the result of the sequence I applied. (I make the layer more contrast by using different side of the fabric) When you happy with the pattern formed, glue them together with a glue gun.
Buttercrunch Toffee Recipe Buttercrunch Toffee: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Place almonds on a baking sheet and bake them for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool. Once the nuts have cooled to room temperature, place in a food processor, fitted with a metal blade, and pulse the almonds until they are finely chopped. In a medium-sized, heavy bottomed saucepan (10 cup) (2.4 liter) combine the brown sugar, water, butter, and corn syrup. Immediately pour this mixture evenly over the nuts on your baking sheet. You can store the toffee, in an airtight container at room temperature, or in the refrigerator, for about 10 days. Makes one pound (450 grams).

What awesome things can I make for under $10? Then it hit me: A CORSET! I went to my dollar store with this end goal in mind, and after a week of blood, sweat, and tears (good thing I keep the band-aids in the craft room), I came up with this: The materials: 3 Silk-brocade pillow cases, 2 for $1.95, 1 for $1.50 (you'll find out later why one was cheaper)1 package of zip-ties, $1.651 pink kid's scarf, $1TOTAL: $8.05 I'd picked up a package of snaps and a grommet setter, but I decided not to use the snaps. First things first: the lacing. Farewell, pink scarf, I barely knew ye! Yarn tripled and chained with a G hook, then that chain was chained with a K hook. I really wish I had pictures to show of my process making the corset, but my craft room lighting is the worst in the world, and I rarely get home before it's dark out. Completely lined and reversible! The pillowcases had fronts and backs.
Easy DIY Pumpkin Craft With Mason Jar Lids! Here’s a fun fall craft that just about anyone could do! The cost is minimal and it would make a perfect fall mantle decoration. My friend Sarah posted this project to her Facebook page and I was so impressed that I asked her if I could post it here on STS. I haven’t tried it yet, mostly because spray paint with a 2 year old around doesn’t always turn out so well, but it’s a project that I’m totally convinced that even I could do (for those who are new to STS, I’m about as far from a “crafty person” as you can get)! Here’s how to make it: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Jonathan Coulton - Still Alive (Portal End Credits) The song is played on a low-G ukulele and the picking pattern is T, I, M, I (thumb, index, middle, index). This pattern makes up the majority of the first section of the song: Then moves on to this pattern for the turnaround: Far be it from me to tell Jonathan Coulton how he plays his own songs, but I’m fairly sure there’s a 7th note in that A chord. He has it as a plain A chord on his write up of the chords, so I may be completely wrong. The second time around, the series finishes off with a sweep of a Bbmaj7 chord. If you don’t have a low-G uke, you can play it the sweetafton way. Buy all of Jonathan Coulton’s song here.
