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. Idée déco lumineuse | Esprit Cabane Les guirlandes lumineuses s’habillent de plume, de papier, de cornets en carton ou bien… d’alvéoles de boites d’oeufs. Les alvéoles de carton recyclé, à la texture intéressante, et aux coloris tendres deviennent des volubilis, agrémentés de points lumineux. Mettre de côté des boîtes d’oeufs caramel, vertes, mauves, bleues ou simplement grises. Créer une fente de chaque côté du trou se trouvant en haut du cône. Utiliser pour cette réalisation uniquement une guirlande à leds.
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.

Quelles palettes pour fabriquer des meubles ? | Esprit Cabane Les palettes sont conçues pour être réutilisées, ce qui en fait un matériau de choix pour réaliser des meubles, des jardinières, aménager une terrasse, fabriquer un composteur ou créer des meubles de jardin. Mais les traitements que subissent les palettes peuvent-ils être nocifs ? Tout ce que devez savoir sur le traitement des palettes, leur fabrication et la façon de les choisir. Il y a environ 300 millions de palettes bois en circulation en France, soit presque 5 par habitant. 70 millions sont fabriquées dans le pays. Les essences utilisées sont le peuplier, l’épicéa, le pin douglas, sylvestre ou maritime – ces 3 dernières essences étant naturellement imputrescibles (classe 3). On distingue 2 types de palettes : – Les palettes non marquées. Les plus solides sont les palettes « cimentières », destinées au transport des parpaings, briques, sacs de ciment, de chaux ou de sable. – Les palettes marquées EUR EPAL, destinées au transport des marchandises à l’étranger (import et export).
fish scale pendant lamp This is the second project we’ve shared from designer Kara Paslay in recent weeks, and again she’s managed to reintroduce me to a cool technique I had long forgotten about. 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! Have a DIY project you’d like to share? Read the full how-to after the jump . . . Every year around this time, I start to daydream about the beach and the beautiful scenery that surrounds it.

Canned Food Storage We have been looking for a way to store our canned food that takes up less space than just putting them on a shelf. We found inspiration on Pinterest and built our own self-rotating racks! With just a piece of plywood and some 1x3s and some 1x2s. Some L brackets and lots of screws we built this!! We made sure that the cans that we wanted to put here fit in each row. And on the wedge we screwed in an L bracket. We screwed two boards with an angled cut at the top to the wall and the rack had boards with opposite angle cuts on the back. Here is the first rack. And here are both! UPDATE We had a request for more information on the canned food rack that we posted a couple of months ago. If I was building it again, I'd use very thin plywood (1/4" or thinner) for the pieces that go on the front of the rack, instead of 1"x2". The angled piece at the bottom of each row of cans was just cut from a 2x4. Then I cut the 2x4 lengthwise in half at an angle.

A lot has changed on this blog lately, why don't you go check it out after you learnt how to make your own jars? For one, the blog is now written in english/hungarian entirely, can't wait to see what you think about other things on from panka with love! :) Also, if you want to have this image for your home, feel free to visit my etsy shop, where you can download a cool, hi-res version of it, huzzah! Since the above image is one of my 'most famous' photos, I've got a lot of requests on how I made these glowing jars. So, I decided to do a step-by-step tutorial for you. A fölső kép miatt (ami az egyik legismertebb képem) elég sok kérést kapok, hogy csináljak egy lépésről lépésre segítséget a befőttes üvegeimhez.

Pantry Ideas – DIY Canned Food Storage Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend! I am back today to share our next ‘Shanty Storage Solution’ with you! As I mentioned in my DIY Spice Rack post, Ash and I are on a mission to use our love of wood and DIY to create solutions for our kitchens and our homes that help things run more smoothly and efficiently. My next project was to tackle my canned food collection! Awwww… SO much better than how they used to be! I do think it’s cute, but I was going batty stacking my cans on an hourly basis! I made these canned food organizers in 2 sizes. Here we go! Supplies! For each organizer I used 1/4″ hardwood plywood. I also used a 1×12 for my shelf pieces. I also use a 1/2″x2″ pine board for my bottom shelf front piece. When you break it down, these cost under $5 a piece to make. Cuts! For the sides you will need 2 pieces of 1/4″ plywood cut to this.. For the shelf piece I cut my 1×12 into 4.75″ pieces. Next, I marked both of my side pieces for my shelves! Mark each side like this… Easy!
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!
Bracelet en capsules de canette, Création bijoux fantaisie lundi 26 mars 2012 akialam : Il n'y a pas de noeuds, simplement des fils que l'on passe dessus-dessous et que l'on croise. C'est très difficile à expliquer c'est pourquoi j'ai fait des schémas. Je vais quand même essayer avec des mots, mais je n'ai guère d'espoir que ce soit plus clair: le fil de droite (représenté en rouge sur le schèma, passe sur la languette "de dessus" (barre supérieure droite), puis sous la languette "de dessous" (barre supérieure droite). Je ne suis pas sûre que cette explication vous aide beaucoup plus, car c'est difficile. Bien cordialement, 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
