Bug Out Bag Essentials - Chance favors the well prepared How To: Make Typographic Gift Wrap » Man Made DIY | Crafts for Men « Keywords: gift, christmas, wrapping, gift-wrap This year, I vowed to only make or buy handmade holiday gifts for my friends and family, and I've kept to it so far. But wrapping these gifts in commercial paper didn't seem to make much sense, so I wanted to create some handmade gift wrap to match. I happen to think a gift wrapped in newsprint is actually quite attractive, and love the look of text on a package, but wanted to put in a little more effort. So I came up with a cool option that's clean, masculine, and maintains the typographic look of the newsprint. Plus, it eliminates the need for any "to:/from" tags, as the recipient's name is right there in tasteful type. Once I figured it out, it was actually quite easy and quick - less than ten minutes per gift. Here's how to do it: Materials and Tools 1. 2. 3. 4a. 4b. 5. 6. Happy Holidays!

Wide Paracord Bracelet First step is picking your colors. The optimal types are 2 colors that contrast. Also for your side release buckle I recommend a 1" size. This allows you plenty of room to insert the cordage. To figure out how much paracord you will need, measure your wrist where you want the bracelet to sit at. The color you want as the outside one should be your wrist measurement times 12. Loop the strands onto your buckle using a cow hitch knot One tip is to make sure you keep the same pattern going and not switch which cord goes over and which one goes under.

It takes a bit of different materials, but it´s really easy when you´ve started. We recommend making it outdoors, as it gets quite messy. The result is pretty neat, especially at night when the threads cast shadow on the walls. We planned to make the lamp using the yarn Garnstudio Ice, but it ran out really quickly, and we had to improvise by using a thinner yarn to complete it. What we used One big, round balloon. How we did itGather all the materials.Put the yarn into the glue and mix properly. Fill the balloon to a desireable size. Hang it and start whirling. Whirl pretty tightly.

sewing Last week it took a melt down for me to carve some time for selfish sewing. I’ve been really busy with black friday business for I Still Love Calligraphy, prepping for Alt Summit and taking care of kiddos. No complaints though!! In addition to being busy, it’s been cold around our neck of the woods. I found this crochet-like sweater knit several months ago. I used the oatmeal for a lining (this hoodie is technically reversible), for the cuffs and the hood. The briar sweater pattern fit the bill for this piece. This hoodie took some time to complete since I lined it (sewing both inner and outer tops separately, then connecting them with the hems). I also sewed the leggings from the block I made back in September (you can get a PDF pattern here, too). I just love the striped patterning in the texture!! What are you wearing non-stop this winter to stay warm? Outfit details: Looking for similar sweaters?

Bored Paracord Crafts — Page 2 Irresistible by DaisyCrafts In Little House knitting news, I was halfway through knitting a second sock yesterday when I put down my needles and took up another set of needles. Tiny ones, size 1. When I’m in second sock mode I sometimes need a little break, not from knitting, but from that pair of socks.

Rawk's Knotorials JUNK CAMP A picture of Ron, my UPS man, would have been a better shot. The packages laying on my front stoop will have to do. What's in them you ask? Well it is Friday, and I am scratching my head once again asking myself what in the heck happened to the week of August 4th 2008? As not to bore you with the insignificant details, I will offer up the highlights of this past week. Monday August 4 2008 *Rented Gary's Firetruck for the Bonanza. Tuesday August 5 2008 *Reorganized storage locker with Muffys' help. *Decided on a logo for my new company, Junk Revolution. Wednesday August 6 2008 *Had a phone meeting with Kelly at Country Home discussing December column. *Discussed T shirt bodies and colors with my daughter in CA (the fashion police) for my new line of junkers apparel to be available online this fall. Thursday August 2008 *Collaborated with the Junk Bonanza posse on vendor procedures, logistics, details, paperwork and PR.

Fabriquer un filet Cela fait un moment que je vous en parlais, et ça y est, le voici enfin, le tuto pour réaliser un filet. Ces filets peuvent avoir plusieurs fonctions, soit en protection antichutes, en filet de pêche, ou réaliser un objet décoratif. Pour l'exemple, j'ai choisi de le réaliser sur un cadre en bois, plus pratique pour le tuto. Vous pouvez le réaliser sur un cordage, ou directement sur le support définitif (bastinguage, escalier...) J'ai également pris un cordage très fin pour la démonstration, mais si vous voulez réaliser une protection anti chutes, faites attention à la charge de rupture du cordage. Ce n'est pas vraiment compliqué à réaliser (en fait, il suffit de connaitre le noeud d'écoute, et croyez moi, quand vous en aurez fait quelques mètres carrés, vous le connaitrez !!) Dans la mesure où vous allez travailler avec le même cordage, il vous faudra cet outil indispensable : une navette, en vente dans tous les magasins d'accastillage ou coop, pêche.... Bon courage à vous tous !!!!

gift tag no. 3 - popsicle sticks Here is a new gift tag/gift decor project for the series that I'm creating because of the holiday season. I didn't use any paper for this one. I'm trying to use what I have so this version is using a tiny part of my popsicle sticks stash. The design is fairly simple - one stick to use for a holiday message, another for "FROM" and the last one for the "TO" information. Materials:- 3 popsicle sticks- yarn (enough to make it around the gift about two-three times.- drill I drilled a hole on each end of the sticks (1/4" from the end). What the back looks like. The diagram below shows the way I wrapped the yarn around the gift. That's it! Hints + tips:- There are wider craft sticks that can be used for this. EDIT - Tonia gave me the following tip regarding the cracking in the comments below. Thanks Tonia!
