Kusudama Tutorial part 2 Today I am showing you part 2 of how to make a kusudama ball. You can find the first part here. In part 1, I showed you have to make the individual flowers; you should now have 12 flowers made from 60 individual petals. For part 2 you will need: 12 flowers (made from 60 petals)GlueString or a ribbonBead(s) As you might be able to see from the finished kusudama at the top of the page, I made 6 flowers from blue paper and 6 flowers from a recycled map. Start to glue the flowers together one petal at the time – this will give the nicest result. When you add the 3rd flower, there are 3 petals to connect. After you have attached all 6 flowers you end up with 2 sets of half a kusudama. I used 3 beads on the bottom. Now take one of your 1/2 kusudamas and put some glue on the top. Glue your string down, making sure it is nice and straight. That’s it! In the last photo you can see another kusudama I finished earlier. If you are having a go with this 2 part tutorial we would love to see your work!
DIY Faux Curled Rosewood Wreath {Made From Rolled Recycled Book Pages} I have seen various versions of Faux Rosewood Wreaths in just about every store and catalog for the upcoming season; most with a price tag running upwards of $40 or more. Some are crafted of paper and other of real wood shavings. Last year I made a few rolled flower gift toppers from recycled book pages and they remind me so much of the curled wood roses I thought they would make a good substitute. {with a much lower price tag} Materials Needed:Foam Wreath FormRecycled Book PagesLots of Hot GlueRibbon to Hang The full step by step tutorial I posted last year can be found {here}.Basically you layer three book pages together and draw a spiral circle. Starting with the outside of the spiral, roll the paper inward to create the flower shape. Give the wreath form a light coat of white {or light color} spray paint to help camouflage any see-through spaces. It seriously takes quite a few roses to fill the entire wreath, however I think the finished project has such a unique look. {Simply Lovely}

Tunisian Crochet How-To… The Bias Stitch Hey folks! It’s time for another Tunisian Crochet Tutorial This one is called the Bias Stitch. It’s a lot like the Tunisian Crossed Stitch but has a different look. I also recommend you practice the Basic Stitch and the Crossed Stitch before trying this one. Let's get going! Chain 15 (or whatever amount you would like for practice) Work the Foundation Row (Same as Basic Tunisian Crochet Stitch here) Row 1 is just like the crossed stitch * Keep all loops on your hook * For Row 1, Skip the next vertical bar of the previous row then skip the NEXT vertical bar. Yarn over And pull up a loop Now you will go to the previously skipped vertical bar. Yarn over and pull up a loop… Now you will continue doing this to the end. As you can see, it looks just like the crossed stitch. Do your return pass to get your vertical bars Row 2 will be the same except at the beginning you will draw up a loop before you start crossing your stitches. Starting Row 2, you will insert your hook into the second vertical bar
Diy Tissue (Kleenex) Flowers I know what your thinking – just when you thought the internet had overdone the tissue paper flower…Destri has to throw in another one. Would it help if I told you it had sentimental value? How about keep your kids busy for hours? Aw, now I have your attention. You see, when I was little we spent hours making these tissue flowers. I remember going through three boxes of Kleenex in one weekend at my Grandma’s house. They have stayed in the back of my mind for something to show my kids, and their great Grandpa on my Husband’s side passed away so I thought this would be the perfect sentiment to send to their Great Grandma. Supplies: Tissues – I used 3 ply for extra fluffy flowersBobby pinsMarkersScissorsFloral tapeDollar store fake flowers if you want to make a bouquet First, layer 2-4 tissues on top of each other. Now starting at the top, pull each layer of the tissue apart until it is at the center. Then repeat…a bunch of times. Just pop off the flowers to expose the tops. Destri
