Cathey with an E: What the Hex?

Cathey with an E: What the Hex?
I'm not a crafty person... but occasionally I pretend to be. When I saw this post ages ago on the ModCloth blog via Honestly... WTF, I thought I had finally found a DIY project that I could actually do! I can braid, and that's pretty much the only skill needed for this. No, this isn't mine. This one's mine. It was actually easier than I thought. But I still love it. And now, I feel braver. Ok, maybe not! Top two images from Honestly...

Video on How to Make a Kusudama With the Carambola Flower by Carmen Sprung This Kusudama can be considered modular origami, and it is based on a beautiful flower model, folded from a pentagon and originally created by Carmen Sprung (Germany). She calls it “carambola” perhaps because of its resemblance to a cross section of a carambola –also known as star fruit. On her website, Happy Folding, Sara Adams (Germany) presents a video showing how to make a pentagon and how to fold the origami carambola. The folding process, as Sara demonstrates, is both easy and pleasing. The Kusudama structure is that of a dodecahedron and made with twelve pentagonal flowers. It can be used as a holiday decoration or given as given as a handmade Christmas gift. Extra Tips to Make the Carambola and Kusudama: When folding the paper to make the pentagons, use the first piece of paper folded (picture 1) as a template by placing each of the other pieces above it and then folding (pictures 2 and 3). The paper used was “Tant” and the color I applied to this paper was oil pastel.

Sock Monkey Gosh… I am supposed to sew some thing for the Earth Month this April, but I can’t wait to sew these sock monkeys. My hands simply took over my head and see what I did after a few days and nights of sewing…. a house full of sock monkeys!!!! Do you love them? I have seen a lot of sock monkey photos hanging around friends’ photo albums in many photo sharing websites, so envy. …. With different sizes of socks, I made the sock monkey out of a family, from baby, toddlers, teens to adult. 3rd picture in the above album shows the family photo of the sock monkey, from daddy, mommy, sister, brother, triplet toddlers, and a baby. The siblings are indeed loving each other, not only they are huggy to human, but they also hug each other, like this one. {Get full details on next page.} Pages: 1 2 Get all updates via email: Highlights from Our Partners

Rosette Memo Board Tutorial i like to blame it on my “mom brain”…..seems like every since i had babies, i’ve lost my mind and forget EVERY*thing! so i made this adorable little dry erase memo board to jot down notes and things i need to remember this summer. {like birthdays. i am the worst at remembering birthdays. my mom knows this and is so sweet to send me reminders when a birthday is coming up. thanks mom!} i love that my little rosette memo board stands up {with the help of a dowel}so i can find it easily…… instead of getting buried under toys or fabric or laundry! i added a scattering of brightly colored rosettes and a couple of rhinestones to add a little pretty to my memo board. perfect! i cut the vinyl with my Silhouette SDso that the wording is on the back of the glass so i can write all over the glass surface with a dry erase marker. here’s a quick little tutorial on how to cut your vinyl so the sticky side of the vinyl is on the front of the lettering: Share and Enjoy

Nail Art Alert! How To Get Ombre Nails At Home : Girls in the Beauty Department: Beauty Here's my step-by-step guide to getting the fun and fabulous ombre nail art look at home. Before you start, make sure you have everything you need and that it's easy to reach from wherever you're sitting. It's also a good idea to make a quick trip to the bathroom. There's nothing worse than creating an awesome mani and then ruining it because you didn't plan ahead! What you'll need: Two color polishes and a topcoat. A sponge, a plastic sheet and toothpicks. If you don't have any of these plastic wallets in the house, raid the kitchen cupboards for some foil or baking paper. The Fun Part! Step 1: Using the lightest of the two colors, paint your nails and wait for it to dry completely. Step 2: On a flat surface, paint a generous amount of the colors right next to each other on to the plastic. Step 3: Using a toothpick, swirl the two colors together in where they meet. Step 4: Take your sponge and dab it directly down on to the polish a few times. Step 6: Add a topcoat. All finished!

DIY Wrap Bracelet - Honestly WTF You should all know by now that we are all about stacking bracelets on our wrists. The more, the better. In fact . . . the most, the best! With that being said, we’ll show you how to master a version of the ever so popular wrap bracelet. It’s so simple and addicting, you’ll soon be churning out these wristlets with your eyes closed. Clearly this arm party train isn’t stopping and it’s about time you get on board! You’ll need (for a double wrapped bracelet) :* Lengths will vary depending on the size of your wrist (see comments for suggestions). Fold the length of leather cording in half to form a loop. Place the ball chain along the leather cording with the end of the chain meeting the end of the wrap. Continue wrapping while checking it for fit around the wrist. When you have reached the end of the ball chain wrap the linen cording around the leather strands 2-3 more times. Thread the hex nut through the strands and tie a second knot. Trim with scissors and your wrap bracelet is finished!!
