1) Mojas un hilo de algodón alcohol 2) Atas el hilo alrededor de la botella a la medida que queres que se haga el corte, el hilo sobrante cortalo bien al ras del nudo (tene en cuenta que el corte se hace 1cm. por arriba de tu marca) 3) Encendes el hilo con encendedor (fijate de haberte lavado las manos y no tengas restos de alcohol) y dejas que se consuma todo el alcohol y que el hilo se ponga negro. 4) Sumergís inmediatamente la botella en un balde hondo lleno de agua fría (en forma invertida si lo que queres es usar la parte de abajo de la botella) la moves un poco, vas a un ruido y listo!...
Si cuando sacas la botella todavía no se corto dale unos golpecitos o volve a repetir la operación. El cristal se cortará, debido al efecto del cambio de temperatura, por la línea donde estaba colocado el hilo. Indie Craft Parade. I’ve said this before, but one of the best things about Indie Craft Parade is getting to know the awesome people in the crafty community.
Making these connections can provide new friendships, networking connections, business opportunities, and they always supply creative inspiration. So for today’s post, I called in one of the amazing connections I’ve made—the ever lovely Emily Jeffords of Beautiful Hello Blog. Besides being a blogger, Emily is also a fine artist, graphic designer, and jewelry maker (not to mention a mom of two little girls).
I’ve actually known Emily since before Indie Craft Parade, but in the last year or so, she’s turned her self into a full-time creative venture. For a guest post, I asked Emily to supply a DIY project for us…and she did something awesome: DIY CHALKBOARD LETTERING. So without further ado, take it away, Emily! Hello! Oh, and lefties, you’re in luck. This chalkboard DIY is so stylish, so trendy, and so, so easy. Lighting Ideas For Weddings. Tin Can Floral Arrangements.
Tin can floral arrangements are incredibly charming, but also add that extra vintage touch to your wedding decor.
If you cannot find those perfect vintage-tin-cans, another option is to paint everyday vegetable or coffee cans or make covers for the containers. We just so happen to have a diy wedding project that covers this very topic. After you have figured out your can situation, place simple yet striking florals like the anemones you see in this styled shoot. Use a little moss or floral foam and voila, you have an instant wedding centerpiece. Annabella Charles and Haute Horticulture are the masters behind these stunning tin can floral arrangements.

Just the bee's knees: Make your own Holiday Art! I'm a little behind on my Christmas decorating (the tree JUST went up today!)
But I have a good excuse.....we just returned from a cruise in Mexico with my in-laws and I am still dreaming of sandy beaches and Coronas!
