Paper crafts for gifts: mini book photo tutorial
Mini Book Photo Tutorial My advanced bookbinding class last spring took on the big project of coptic stitch books and so to reward them for all their hard work and patience as I worked out the kinks of teaching a group of people a very tricky stitch, I made everyone in the class these fun little accordion books! Here’s a step by step photo tutorial. You’re welcome to re-post this on your blog if you kindly link back. Materials: • Scraps of thin decorative paper for covers,• filler paper (this can be regular computer paper or sketch paper)• thin cardboard for the covers (the kind on the back of a sketchpad will work fine)• glue (I use PVA but any white glue would work fine) 1. 2. 3. 4.

DIY | mason jar cookie mix favor » Something Turquoise I absolutely love Mason Jar Cookie Mix gifts, I love getting them and I love giving them. Normally, because of the size of most cookie recipes, mixes like this have to be gifted in large mason jars – which definitely wouldn’t work for bridal shower or wedding favors. So I worked really hard to develop the perfect cookie recipe that fits into these small, 12 ounce eco mason jars and I’m thrilled to share it with you today! Not only are these fabulous wedding event favors, but they make great gifts for the holidays as well. Pin 12 ounce eco mason jars with either gold or silver lids flour sugar brown sugar baking soda salt your choice of ‘candy’… whatever fits your color theme will be perfect… Paper Source 2.5″ round address labels sticker paper or cardstock measuring cup spoon and/or dowel hole punch corner rounder your choice of ribbon or twine CIRCLE LABEL: {gray} {black} DIRECTION CARD: {gray} {black} Start by measuring 3/4 cup of flour. Now, add the measured flour to your clean jar.

How to Marbleize Paper and Cards Immediately after removing the paper, place it in a pan, and pour water over it. Hang paper to dry, marbleized side up. Do not touch the paper until it is dry (typically within 2 hours, depending on humidity levels). Decide whether to keep or discard your solution (it can be used several times). To change paint colors, lay strips of newsprint across the solution's surface, then remove; repeat with clean strips until the solution is clear. Everyday Mom Ideas: Scrap Paper Tree Centerpiece Tutorial (Featured guest blogger) Hi there! I'm Sharon from Two Girls Being Crafty, and I am so delighted to be today's guest blogger on Everyday Mom Ideas! Thank you so much, Julia, for having us. Today I would like to share with you all our newest craft. This simple project uses scrapbook paper leaves to create a bright and cheery Spring ambiance for your home. First, drag out your unseemly healthy assortment of scrapbook paper scraps. Cut out a template of your leaf from the cardboard (you can also use chipboard or card-stock). Take your floral wire and cut strips anywhere from 5"-8" long. Lay down some newspaper next to your workspace. Now for the fun part! ...or make them funky. And you're done! Thanks again, Julia, for having us here today!

Scrap Project Roundup I have been trying to finish up all of my Holiday crafting, so I got behind on my scrap fabric projects last week. To make it up to all of you, here are a bunch of super cute scrap fabric projects I found on Pinterest! Above you will see a fabric scrap Memory game, found at Babble. This is a great wall art project using fabric scraps and embroidery hoops, from The Purl Bee. While this project just uses fabric swatches, you could certainly do some embroidery on your scraps to add even more visual interest. Here are some garden flags from Design Sponge. A fantastic fabric mosaic, as wall art, by Cart Before the Horse. This vintage chair rehab with scrap fabrics is absolutely gorgeous! You can also use your scraps to make a cute pillow case, like this one from Cluck Cluck Sew. What are your favorite projects to do with scraps?
