Grown Up Friendship Bracelet Tutorial Guess what I found? A tutorial that I had kind of forgotten about! See? My hair was long here! In fact, one summer during college, I interned at a camp and one of my jobs was putting together the craft activities for the campers. What you need:-Some sort of round/square/etc. metal piece for the middle- 16″ of string (I used hemp) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. **Once getting it started, I like to put it on something to help keep the strings straight. 14. 15. so the right side knot could slip through the two knots on the left end. Alternatively, you could add a clasp to the ends or create a sliding knot like this here.
How to "wallpaper" using fabric I couldn't stand our boring white door anymore. Something had to be done. So over the weekend, we wallpapered it with a big, fun piece of fabric. This fabric is fairly thin cotton from IKEA. For this DIY fabric wallpaper project, you'll need water, cornstarch, a big brush (or a paint roller if you want to do a larger wall), scissors, and a craft knife if you have obstacles like we did. First mix up your paste, since it will need time to cool. Boil 4 cups of water in a pot. In the meantime, measure the area you want to wallpaper and cut your fabric to size. Brush the entire door with paste, then begin applying fabric from the top down, adjusting and smoothing as you go. Use a scissors or Xacto knife to cut around any obstacles. Finally, we went back around the sides of the door and brushed on a little extra paste to smooth down any loose threads and keep the raw ends from fraying. Our end result was smooth and perfectly wrinkle free. Here's the doorknob with still-damp fabric around it.
Tubular Friendship Bracelets My line-up of DIY projects was put on hold last week when a friend’s grandfather passed away. She asked if I could make her and her family a series of red, tubular embroidery thread bracelets to wear during the mourning period. And so back into the friendship-making mindset I went! Given that this woman not only threw me a whale of a baby shower, sewed the cover for the girls’ loveseat, knit Sunny the most adorable sock monkey stuffed animal, and hemmed fabric for a project I will unveil in the coming weeks, I dove right in. Since I spend up to four hours a day breastfeeding Courtland, I was fortunate to have a pattern in mind that was easy to do with baby strapped to boob. I used only red thread, but you could easily mix it up with an array of multi-colored strands for an interesting effect. While certainly a sad reason to engage in this project, I am happy that a little tutorial could come from it. To learn how to tie a sliding knot, refer to this video tutorial.
How About Orange Here's a look at our upstairs guest bathroom. Last night I covered an accent wall with removable wallpaper. I love it! This bathroom has a peculiar layout. The kind folks at Walls Need Love sent the product to review. Like the Sunburst wallpaper I designed last year, this paper is essentially a giant self-adhesive wall decal, and it's easily to peel off and reposition. I measured the wall and cut a length of paper that would leave a little extra overhang at the bottom. After a couple tries I had it, and then it was just a matter of peeling off the backing paper gradually while smoothing down the paper with the tool provided. I cut another piece to place next to the first panel, overlapping the seam by a quarter inch to match the pattern. Then with a craft knife and straight edge, I trimmed off any overhang that wrapped onto the adjacent walls and baseboard. This stuff is really forgiving if you accidentally get it stuck to itself.
CC Skye Inspired Two Tone Chain Bracelet I’ve never really been one to follow rules when it comes to mixing metals. Rose gold, yellow gold, silver… I mix and match. For that reason, I was excited to see mixed metal jewelry pop up on Shopbop this month. This bracelet (also available in neon,) stood out as something I needed to have. It’s also incredibly easy to make. This is a great beginner project, and while variations of it have definitely been done before on other DIY blogs, I really love how the gold and silver chains look paired together. {I opted to add in a pop of cobalt blue… you can do a lot of different things – neons, neutrals, or bright colors!} Materials / Where to Buy: 17mm chain in silver + gold // leather cord in two colors // large lobster clasp // two jump rings // pliers

Tuto bijoux: fabriquer des bracelets en corde naturelle avec des perles et des boutons de bois Je vous propose aujourd'hui un tutoriel bijoux écos! Ces jolis bracelets sont fait à partir de cordes de chanvre et de perles / boutons de bois. Vous pouvez facilement modifier et adapter les couleurs et la grandeur à votre goût. Vous aurez besoin de: -Cordes de chanvre ou tout autre corde naturelle -Boutons de bois, perles de bois -Crochet, anneaux et embouts de fermeture On commence par enrouler 7 fois la corde sur un guide. J'ai utilisé ma règle pour une longueur finie de 16.5cm (6 1/2 pouces). J'ai ensuite fixé un bout à la machine à coudre pour que les 14 bouts de cordes tiennent bien ensemble. Il a été nécessaire pour moi de passer un petit coup de vapeur au fer à repasser sur mes cordes pour qu'elles soient bien droites et sans plis. Je n'ai pas fait de noeuds. L'étape la plus délicate consiste à fixer toutes les cordes dans l'embout de fermeture. On fixe ensuite deux anneaux à une extrémité; un petit et un grand. Voilà! J'espère que vous aimerez fabriquer ces bracelets!
Save a deer....A PB antler inspired tutorial The sun is shining and the weather outside does not call for a sweater. Nevertheless, the temperatures will drop and soon the trees will reenact their annual fiery show while dressed in beautiful shades of orange,reds and yellows making us forget all about summer and its glory. In preparation for the 'show' I have been working on some projects to cozy up our nest and this one in particular was an inspiration from Pottery Barn and their fall decor. Pottery Barn is always a great place to find inspiration for any holiday and I have been particularly attracted to the resin deer antlers in their fall decor this year. But as usual, the DIYer in me cannot justify spending $52, so I decided to make my own and share the 'how to' with you. Materials y-shaped branch (optional) Air drying clay or salt flour clay (recipe found here) Tin foil Paint (optional) I used DecoArt - Antique Gold Antique White Raw Umber Let's get started.... (click on picture to enlarge) 3) It should look like a sharpened pencil Lucy
Fabriquer un bracelet de star | Princesse Pia A force de surfer sur des sites de bijoux artisanaux et de flâner dans les petites boutiques de curiosité, ça donne des idées. Ni une, ni deux, je fonce à la mercerie. Pour un début, je décide de faire soft et sobre. Je ressors donc avec 1 mètre de fil gris, 1 étoile, 4 cristaux de Swarovski transparents pour un total de 1.86 euros. Comment faire ? J’ai tout d’abord couper une longueur de 26 centimètres (de quoi faire le tour du poignet et les noeuds coulissants). J’ai ensuite enfilé les perles et l’étoile. J’ai bien centré les objets et j’ai fait un noeud de chaque côté des cristaux de Swarovski pour les maintenir en place. Puis des noeuds coulissants aux extrémités. Bon je vous l’accorde le noeud de gauche est fait dans le mauvais sens (avec l’extrémité vers l’interieur), mais c’est mon premier ! Et voilà le résultat ! Vous aimez ?
