Make + party | Wire heart crown | Make and Tell This week we celebrated the Queen’s birthday. Which I should point out is no where near the Queen’s actual birthday, but we get a public holiday so I’m not complaining! And despite the fact that I spent most of the day eating and relaxing and not thinking about the royal family at all, somewhere along the line I was inspired to create a project with a bit of a regal twist. It turned out to be easier than I expected given that I almost never work with jewellery wire. So if you have a costume party coming up or just want to be the queen of hearts for a day, try this one out for size! Materials Jewellery wire (I used 20 gauge copper wire)Jewellery pliers (for bending and cutting the wire) Step 1 Bend the wire so that it forms the top of a heart shape. Step 2 Join the two ends of the wire together at the bottom and twist to close off the heart. Step 3 Repeat the first two steps above so that you continue making hearts at intervals of about 3 cm. Step 4 And it really is as easy as that! xx Steph
Wire & Pearl Cuff - Cocoknits A few years ago I saw a fabulous wire and pearl bracelet at the jewelry store Viva! in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (sadly out of business now). I picked up some sterling wire and freshwater pearls at the bead store down the street (La Piedra) and started messing around. Even on tiny needles I could never get the stitches even and tidy, so over time I used bigger and bigger needles and the cuffs were ever chunkier and more organic looking. I’ve decided that the bigger and sloppier the stitches, the more interesting the finished product looks! And it’s fun to pick up galvanized wire from the hardware store and mix it with lovely pearls to give as gifts… a great conversation piece. The directions are really just a guideline… have fun experimenting with different types of wire, needle size and beads and see what you come up with! Skills Needed General knitting knowledge. Size Custom (see directions for sizing). Materials Wire Notions Freshwater pearls, between 15 and 25 for each cuff. Needles Gauge
Teach Me: How to Make Lace Crowns Last week I showed you an easy way to "glitterify." Now I'm going to show you how to make the crown that all the glitter goes on! I know, lace crowns have been all over Pinterest. But none of the tutorials gave the nitty gritty details. So I got my hands dirty, and I'm ready to spill what I learned. Honestly, it was easier to make the crown than it was to get someone to stay still long enough for pictures! Materials Needed: Lace Fabric Stiffener Round container Plastic gloves (optional, but you really should use them. Step one: Wrap the container you plan to use with plastic wrap or wax paper. Step two: Cut the lace to the desired length. 15 inches works for newborn crowns. Step three: pour some of the fabric stiffener into a shallow container. Step four: wrap the lace around the container. Step five: once it's dried, peel the lace off the container. Now you can embellish it! You can paint the stiffened lace with crafter's paint, like I did with the blue crown.
Tutorial: No Sew Circular Needle Holder Posted by pieKnits on January 29, 2007 Can’t get any easier than this, the 15-minute circular needle holder. Nothing against sewing, I do have plans to make a placemat dpn holder ala the Grumperina method but I like this one for something a little different. Circular needles are inserted through the center holes in craft supply wooden spools and dangle by their cords.Stuff you need Wooden spools (mine were Large Barrel, 3/16″ x 7/8″; 1/4″ hole, 20 pcs from a craft store- the larger the hole the better) Approx 1 1/2 – 2 yards floral wire (I believe mine was 28 gauge) Permanent markers (I used a silver paint pen and a sharpie) Scraps of yarn or fabric Glue (hot glue gun was weapon of choice for me) Note on the spools – mine have 1/4″ hole which fits up to a US size 10 needle. Then, once the last spool is wired on, twist the remaining two wire lengths around each other and fold into a hook shape.
Friendship Bracelets Macraméd friendship bracelets were all the rage when I was growing up in the eighties. All the girls at my school would obsessively make them for one another in a dizzying variety of colors, widths, and patterns.

For patterns use a doubled length of thread cut each color to a length of 72-inches. The Left Knot

Purses in nalbinding: 'Mystic spirale, but I'll change the name' [lots of pics] My first posting, I'm very excited! Since I have discovered craftster, I'm addcited. Thanks to everyone for all the inspiration! Thousands of things that I just love. But... no nalbinding. I do a lot of nalbinding. My first purse: front side, closed Seen from the back with the lid open.Handspun wool (not spun by me), hand dyed with rose leaves (a rose bush had just been cut very short in front of our house and I couldn't resist it), nalbound in Korgen Stitch F1 UOO/UUOO. I needed a purse quickly for a new medieval outfit and tried the newest dye (leaves of roses). My second purse: I call it the Bollywood purse, because I stitched it while I was watching a bollywood movie on TV, which gives you a lot of time for progress handspun (not by me), black wool from black sheep, yellow wool hand dyed with nettle. The yellow was my first attempt at dyeing larger amounts of wool, and I fell totally in love with it, because it turned out neon yellow! The third and fourth:
DIY Wood Knitting Needles Handmade Wooden Knitting Needles Making your own wooden knitting needles is quite simple, and fun! The way I made them was to basically use wooden dowel rods (from hardware or hobby/craft stores-hardware stores are usually cheaper), around 1/4" or so, or whatever size makes the needle size you want. I take my needle sizer to the store with me to slip over the dowel and check what size needle it will make, and shoot for about a size 7-8 US for beginner needles. Then cut the dowels into pieces that are about 10" long, or whatever length you feel is appropriate for what you are doing (a heavy duty pair of kitchen scissors worked for me, or try scoring them first with a blade and snapping them). Then use a pencil sharpener to make the rough points, and then take sandpaper to the whole needle. To make the ends, I used the type of clay that you bake in the oven to harden. Then, they are done and ready to go! And a few more hints: Bake the needles complete, with the acorn tops attached.
