Leafy Spring Prints I don't know what it's like where you live, but here in Tennessee, we are experiencing spring-like weather. For the most part. I mean it did snow the last two Saturdays (and, in Tennessee, "snow" means just a few flakes and a couple of inches) but the other day it was 78 degrees. Crazy, right? For that reason, I've got touch of spring fever. You too? For this project, you'll need the following: gelatin, not Jell-o. Pour mixture into a cookie sheet filling it about 1". The following day, we were ready to print. RECYCLED GLASS TUMBLERS 2K+So this week I took on THE SCARIEST DIY project in the history of the world. Ever. The end. I kept seeing tutorials on how to cut glass on Pinterest with string, nail polish remover, fire, and cold water. So I thought to myself "Self, you have all those things. The only problem is, you are literally playing with fire. Good thing I'm super tough. So here it goes. Old glass bottles (feel free to use whatever type you have on hand) 100% cotton yarn (kitchen twine, roughly worsted weight) Nail polish remover (or acetone) Paint pen A bucket of ice water (deep enough to dunk the bottle in completely) Glass paint (optional) Using a paint pen, mark on the bottle about a 1/2" above where you would like the final cut to be. Keep rotating the bottle and marking at the desired height. Wrap the string 3 times around the bottle. Depending on the thickness of your bottle and the thickness of the string, you'll need to wrap the bottle a different number of times. Trim the string very close to the knot.
Homemade Outdoor Fireflies If you've ever spent a warm summer night next to a wetland area, you've probably seen lampyridae. Their name might not ring a bell, but their tiny glowing bodies do. Lampyridae are fireflies, those belly-glowing beetles that seem to take people's breath away, especially when seen in multiples.

Inspired by the ocean, Kara decided to transform a simple paper globe into a beautiful sculptural pendant lamp. By dyeing and dipping cut paper rounds into wax, Kara has transformed the material into an almost unrecognizable state. I can’t get over how far removed the end result is from a simple paper globe, and given that the whole project cost around $20 and can be done in an afternoon makes it even more appealing!

Tutorial: How to turn Google map images into throw cushions - Spoonflower blog This week guest author Emma Jeffery from the blog Hello Beautiful shows us how she used satellite images of her neighborhood to make some very cool throw cushions. I must be getting sentimental in my (not so) old age as I’m increasingly drawn to surrounding myself with meaningful and thoughtful items. Sure, I’m inspired by designs and trends I see in stores online and locally, but I’m often searching for ways to translate these ideas into something more than a passing fad. I love it when items or objects in my home have a story to tell or a memory to share. They seem to give a depth and richness to my environment that store-bought items cannot. Ask my husband, and he’ll probably share with you his opinion that we have more than enough throw pillows in our house, but anyone who enjoys fashion, design and sewing as much as I do knows that cushions are a great and easy way to change the look and feel of a room. Next I zoomed in to get a view of our house and its surrounding area. Hi!
no paint artwork in 15 minutes | Makeunder My Life Simple white canvases above my bed. I never really thought too much about these canvases until my cousin mentioned they were his favorite pieces of art in my apartment. “Art?” What was once an unsuccessful attempt to make jewelry displays later became an inexpensive way to fill the space above my bed. Nevertheless, I will accept the compliment and now I am excited to share this simple no paint project (read: apartment friendly). I bought two $22 primed canvases from Blick, a spool of textured charcoal thread, and a foot of charcoal starched linen-like fabric. Then, I wound the thread across the canvas front to back about 12-20 times, threading leaves as I went. Can this even count as a project? There are a million ways this could be evolved into even more elaborate artwork. Follow by email and get theWITH INTENTION QUICK START GUIDEfor free
