Plaid Sunburst : tuto pour le tour d'assemblage! Coucou! Comme je sentais que ce qui vous freinait à faire ce joli plaid, c'était en partie le dernier tour d'assemblage, voici un petit tuto en photos qui vous aidera peut-être! Le but est donc de réaliser une rangée de 3 B (brides) par trou et de 3B, 1ML (maille en l'air), 3B dans chaque coin tout en "s'accrochant " aux autres carrés déjà assemblés. C'est parti : 1/ commencer par faire 1 côté : 3 fois 3 B dans chaque trou 2/ au coin : les choses se présentent ainsi : Retirer alors votre crochet de la boucle, le passer à travers le coin du plaid et rattraper votre boucle : 3/ faire alors une maille en l'air : et encore un groupe de trois brides dans le même trou que précédemment. Vous avez fini ce coin. 5/ Accroccher le côté : Retirer à nouveau le crochet et comme pour le coin, le passer à travers le trou du carré lié au plaid, et reprendre votre boucle. Faire une maille en l'air. 6/ faire ensuite vos 3 B dans le trou du carré à assembler qui se présente. Et ainsi de suite jusqu'au coin suivant! dans le même trou!
Pebeo Porcelaine 150 Paint Markers Now it's easy to paint on ceramic, porcelain, glass, and metal with these markers from Pebeo. The round tips on Porcelaine 150 Paint Markers are perfect for writing, drawing, outlining, and highlighting, and they can be used in conjunction with Pebeo Porcelaine 150 Paints. Pebeo Porcelaine 150 Paint Markers work like other paint markers. Since many vitreous and ceramic materials cannot withstand sudden changes in temperature, Pebeo recommends placing your painted piece in a oven and allowing it to warm up as the oven warms up. Avoid the use of strong, abrasive cleaners such as steel scouring pads and sharp cutting implements such as stainless steel knives, which may leave scratches on the surface and make it more difficult to clean. Pebeo Porcelaine 150 Paint Marker colors are transparent.
DIY modern paper ornament I love spiky starburst shapes, so I attempted a version of the traditional Polish porcupine ball. Here's how to make this cool 3D ornament—great for Christmas or decorating any time. I can imagine jumbo sized versions hanging at parties or weddings. They take awhile, though, so you'd better start making them five years before you plan to get married. You'll need: Paper, scissors, a circular object for a template, a ruler, pencil, needle, thread, rubber band, and glue. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. thelongthread.com
Three Beans in a Pod: Retro Circles - The Tutorial I’m calling this a ‘tutorial’ rather than a pattern as I’m not re-inventing the wheel. Although I didn’t work from a pre-existing pattern when making my blanket I know there are many ‘circle in a square’ patterns out there. One from Little Tin Bird that is very similar to what I had done, so I would hate anyone to think that I’m claiming their pattern as my own. So! Here goes... Abbreviations: US crochet terms SS- Slip stitch SC- Single crochet HDC- Half-double crochet DC- Double crochet TC- Treble crochet Ch- Chain Select the hook that works well with the yarn you have. Note: Rounds 2-4 worked entirely in the BACK LOOP ONLY. Round 1: Start with a magic circle and chain 3 (counts as first DC), 11 more DC into the circle, tighten circle. Alternatively, if you’re not sure how to do a magic circle you can chain 4, join to make a ring. Round 2: Chain 3, DC into same loop. Round 3: Chain 3, DC into same stitch. Round 4: Chain 3, DC into same loop. * DC in the next two back loops, 2 DC in next.

How to Tie a Quilt Tutorial - Quilting Tutorial from ConnectingThreads.com Nine Patch Lesson 3 There are many ways to "quilt" your quilt. By quilt, we mean how all three layers are secured together. We define a quilt as a top, a batting and a backing, joined together in some way to make the layers hold together without wearing. At the end of this tutorial, we've listed other, more advanced methods. Tools and materials you'll need for this tutorial: Removable tape, like painters tape. Here we go! Layering the quilt. Lay the backing on a flat surface, right side down. If you opted for the adhesive spray, use it now to spray a very light coating on the wrong side of the backing. Now lay the batting on top of the wrong side of the backing. If you opted for the adhesive spray, use it now to spray a very light coating on the top of the batting. Lay the quilt top, wrong side down, on the batting. The edges of your quilt layers should look like this: Time to pin baste. Using the basting or safety pins, place a pin through all three layers, keeping the bottom layer taped.
