How to make a scratch off lottery ticket? You probably know the scratch off lottery tickets? Ever wondered how to make them? Well, they are very fun & easy to make.I used to make greeting cards from them but now I'm going to use this technique as a promotional tool.I made 25 scratch off tickets and will include 1 ticket with every order I ship.On one of those tickets, there is a coupon code and a value of 25 dollars to spend in my shop on Etsy. Waaaahhh, exciting! :) Here is what you need:cardboard, a print-out of your lottery ticket, glue stick, sticky back plastic (contact paper), metallic acrylic paint (preferably silver) and washing liquid.I prepared the paper cutting beforehand so I'll skip that part in the tutorial. :) Beforehand you print out a design that you want to be on the scratch off lottery tickets.If your printer can take thick paper you can print it directly on the cardboard and skip this part.

Then you take a piece of sticky back plastic and put it onto the design. And then... scratch! RobbyGurl's Creations: The Car Caddy. I also found this idea on pinterest, (isn't it just an awesome website???) And just knew I had to make one of these for my son. He is always wanting to take cars with him in the car, but I always hesitate because I swear it never fails that he always loses one. So I had to come up with a way to make one of these on my own! So here it is...just for my son (and for all of you to of course)! First, before you start this project you will need the following items: Once you have gathered all your materials, bake your pizza if you want, if not, store your pizza back in the freezer, without the box, just be sure to remember or write down the instructions for baking it later. Now cut down the middle of one of the sides.... Then open up the box and lay it flat like so....

Next, cut of all the side panels at the seams.... You should be left with two 9" x 9" pieces of cardboard. Next, you need to make your "patterns" for your felt pieces. Now it's time to cut your felt. Now cut out your patterns. Baby_shoe_pattern.pdf. Baby_shoe_pattern. Bandana Bibs. My baby daughter, Guadalupe, is now 3 months old and growing like a weed.

I love watching her evolve more and more into a person every day, smiling, grabbing, and following me with her eyes. One recent development that I haven’t exactly relished, however, is drooling. The girl is a drool machine! Within minutes of dressing her in an adorable onesie, a big wet stain seeps down the front. Not cute! I thought about adding a bib to her ensembles, but every one I tried made her look like she was ready to eat. These Bandana Bibs are simple to make, easy to wear, and will make your baby look like the cutest little cowgirl (or boy) on the block! Materials To make a set of three 3-month sized bibs: Note: If you'd like to get less fabric you can get three identical bibs out of a 1/2-yard of outer fabric and a 1/2-yard of lining fabric. Cutting and Sewing Cut a 13-inch square from the outer fabric and lining. Pin these squares right sides together. Snip off the corners. Folding and Finishing All done! DIY Sleepsack (Hurray! Sleep!!) ***there is no guarantee that the following pattern will in fact produce a sleeping child First off, “HELLLOOOoooooo dear blog friends!”

You thought I’d lost myself in a deep mommyland abyss didn’t you?! Well no my dearest, despite reflux, stomach bugs, potty training & mastitis (TMI, I know…) I’m still trucking along & somehow by the dear grace of my Lord above I was able to sew something!!! I don’t know what it’s like where you live but around here it’s getting downright chilly. Despite my best effort to bundle up little Soph she still wakes up every night with icebox hands.

That’s why I decided to make an uber-warm, fully lined, mitten sleeved sleepsack for her. (anything that might produce more sleep is worth the effort in my book) The outside is a no-pill fleece print from Jo-Ann’s (50% off this week!) With the directions below feel free to leave out the sleeves for a traditional sleepsack (& super fast project) or leave out the lining if you want it for more everyday use.
