Hanging Fabric Ribbon Hoop DIY
Aug 29 by Chiara Alberetti Milott What do you do when you’re co-hosting a baby shower, you’re in charge of decorations, and you live 612 miles away from the shower location? Perhaps you’d make these hanging ribbon hoops and pack them in your suitcase, ready to unfurl and hang when you arrive the morning of the party. Since I live in New York and the shower was in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I needed to make some suitcase-friendly, portable decorations. Materials needed: strips of fabric, hula-hoop, scissors. Step 1: Cut your fabric into 2” x 40” – 48” strips. Step 2: Fold a strip of fabric in half, lay it under the hoop, and then flip the bend of the strip over the hoop. Step 3: Continue all the way around, until you have enough fabric strips to cover the hula-hoop. Step 4: Shake out and smooth the fabric ribbons down, and hang. My friend Abigail’s beautiful baby boy arrived 6 weeks early – so he was able to make an appearance at his own baby shower. Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
DIY Washi Tape Laptop Keyboard
Look whose little old MacBook got a facelift this weekend! I spotted this idea from minifanfan on Making It Lovely last week and just had to give it my own spin. I purchased my Japanese washi tape from Le Box Boutique on Etsy. I chose these ten patterns but only ended up using eight of them on my keyboard. I first thoroughly cleaned my keyboard with rubbing alcohol to remove any dirt or oil that might keep the tape from sticking. I originally wanted to do all the keys, including the small keys in the top row, but the tape seemed to have a harder time sticking to the small keys. This project was a bit tedious but simple – perfect for a few hours in front of the tv. What do you think? Tagged as: craft, diy, tutorial
As Seen On TV: ‘2 Broke Girls’
3 Broke Girls? I’m back with a remake from another one of my favorite TV shows! Last time, Zooey’s red dress from the opening credits of “New Girl” got tackled and this go around I’m headed into ’2 Broke Girls” territory. Our girl, founder Molly McAleer, is a writer on the show which is obviously why it’s one of my favorites. How obsessed am I with Max and Caroline and their hijinks at the Williamsburg Diner? I mean, I am the ultimate sweet tooth, so each time I see their cupcakes being peddled, it’s snack attack time! Bauble twinsies (Sidenote: I totally wish when I was a server that the uniforms were as cute as the vintage 70s looking ones on the show.
