Red, White & Blue Wrap Bracelet I love July 4th. It’s really my favorite. It’s fireworks and parades and barbecues, seeing family, taking a day off work… popsicles and watermelon – everything that embodies summer! And over the weekend, I was picking up a cute little flag top for Raya when I realized I don’t have anything patriotic to wear. So I thought I’d remedy that with a patriotic wrap bracelet. I opted to use seed beads and waxed cotton twine – I know it doesn’t sparkle and shine the way some people make their wraps, but it keeps the cost way down, which I think is important for seasonal pieces. I did a tutorial on making this style bracelet last month, so if anything looks confusing, then definitely check out the tutorial on the stone and leather bracelet I shared. What you’ll need:Size 6/0 seed beadsTwine – cotton, hemp, or even leather all work wellButton for closureThread and a needle with a narrow eye First, I decided on three wraps, one for each color. Tie your thread onto your twine.
DIY Glittery Faceted Beads « Hazel & Agnes Full tutorial after the jump! Tags: diy, glitter, jewelry, necklace, polymer clay, tutorial Le.Fanciulle: DIY Leather Lunch-bag Ever since I saw this post on Kaye's blog last year, I've been dying to do this DIY! So yes, this project has been a long time coming; S will vouch for me here since I've been voicing my intentions to carry it out for a few months now. Fortunately for a lack of plans this Easter long-weekend, I could finally do it! Inspired by Anve (and then some more by Jil Sander), this is a simple DIY which won't cost you much time or money. Materials Rustle up a big piece of leather (or pleather, or anything else you might fancy it in), some supa-glue, scissors, 4 press-studs, and a sewing machine. Measure and cut out a large rectangle of leather (mine was about 45cm x 70cm) - the easiest way is to find a paper bag or a box which is similar in size to what you'd like your bag to be, then use those dimensions (lay it out as if you're going to wrap the box). Fold it lengthwise with the good sides touching, and sew two of the sides together. Et voila! Roll, fold, or bunch the top and off you go. xx T

How To Make An Easy Dress (For Cheap!) Two facts about me: I'm cheap. I love dresses. I wear dresses probably 6 days out of the week. It's not that I one day just decided to wear dresses to feel cute and girly. Back in November when I really started Talk2thetrees I kinda just wore pajama pants and sweat pants. Dresses are so comfortable, I can sit around the house and feel comfortable and cute. The only problem.. they are expensive! Here is a tutorial on a High Waisted Dress: For under 6 bucks! First you will need a ribbed tank top. I got mine from Walmart for 2.50 You could also use a t-shirt 3 yards of matching fabric. Clearance section is my favorite. Cut the tank top almost in half. (I cut mine a little too short.. oops!) For the bottom part of your dress take the fabric and wrap it around your waist about 1 and a half times, and cut in a straight line. I never measure, I never use patterns... Next you fold your fabric in half. You have kind of a big blocky rectangle skirt. (You are sewing the raw edges, not the bubble hem)
Upcycling Shirts Tutorials Day three: Shirt into Bracelet (There is an update about this post, on the bottom part of this page) Pictures by Lana ------------------------------------Update------------------------------------ Due to several questions about this tutorial, I decided to post an update with more detailed steps. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. All done! You can of course also sew the bracelet instead of using glue. The bracelet will be easy to slide over you're hand, because the fabric is stretchy and soft.
Featured Handmade Artist- amyholtondesigns - April Bern Photography Blog - April Bern Photography Another thing I loved about this camera? It has really convenient and easy to adjust dials to change settings on the fly (and because you're looking at the LCD screen, you can see, almost in real time, what's happening.) And lastly, this is pretty important to me, there are so many more points of focus you can select rather than just the 9 that the Mark II has! Did I mention that it was so much lighter? Do I want this camera? Here are some shots I took with this camera and the kit lens:
Pintuck Pillows There’s something going on with me lately that makes me want to sew repetitive lines. May need psychoanalysis. Anyway, I made these pillows from washed silk. I had some silk remnants, washed them on cold and let them air dry, which gives the silk a wrinkled look. These pillows use pintucks to create a tailored, clean look. Neon Bangle | paperyandcakery.com It’s been hot. So hot that just the thought of spending time with my glue gun makes me sweat. Yes, that hot. I was lucky enough to sneak away last week for a vacation with the husband. But I didn’t want to disappoint you. Digging through my cabinets, I found lanyard. , pink , and green lanyard yourself}. I could seriously wow you with my box stitch skills. This lanyard was neon. So I did. I wrapped 3 neon lanyards around a regular old wood bangle which you can buy right here for almost nothing. The best part of lanyard…. it’s super easy to tie. Oh, and of course I wore it the very next day. Happy lanyard-ing. xoxo, Niki
