The moment I spotted these colorfully wrapped reindeer and moose at Anthropologie last December, I knew I had to DIY it for HonestlyWTF this holiday season. Created in the style of vibrant Chindi rugs from Jaipur, India, these wrapped reindeer are incredibly fun to make, are a clever way to repurpose old t-shirts, and make fabulous gifts! You’ll need:paper mache reindeer or any other animal1 yard total of various colors of cotton or wool jersey2 small brown pom pomshot glue gunlots of glue sticksscissorsjingle bells (optional)string (optional) Start by cutting the fabric, along the width, into 1″ strips.
For a medium sized paper mache object, 26-30 strips should suffice. Pull at both ends of each strip of jersey. Beginning in the middle of the torso will serve as the guideline. Continue twisting, glueing, and wrapping. As the rope begins to runs out, tie a knot at the end. Keep wrapping and again, follow the contours of the reindeer. And your Chindi reindeer is finished!! DIY Dolce & Gabbana Tiara. Honestly, how enchanting was Dolce & Gabbana‘s ode to Sicily in their fall collection? Velvet capes and lace dresses were accented by glorious Baroque-inspired accessories.
The highlight for me was the cornucopia of ornate tiaras adorned with rhinestones, pearls, and the most darling little ceramic roses. It’s a DIY that is easily mastered with the right supplies, so when in Rome . . . You’ll need:a black velvet headband15 – 20 assorted ceramic roses (or search “ceramic roses” on Etsy or eBay)8 – 10 assorted faux pearls (last seen here)40 – 50 assorted pre-set rhinestones (last seen here)a disposable container or popsicle sticka handful of toothpicksE6000 glue Start by squeezing a small amount of E6000 into a disposable container or onto a wooden popsicle stick.

I know you’ve seen them everywhere…..blue mason jars! I think its the only way to make a delectable mason jar even more scrumptious! Ha! I love how pretty tinted vintage jars are, but they aren’t cheap. seriously. You probably remember this image from yesterday’s Flower Lid tutorial. All you need is a sponge brush and a transparent glass paint. I added a flower frog lid to the top of this one so I could arrange fresh flowers in it. So that’s how to permanently tint a Mason Jar. Happy crafting, linda disclosure: i received free product from DecoArt to try. Share and Enjoy. I ♥ mathematics {platonic solids garland}
Oooh….it’s been I while since I last posted. We had a smashing Christmas and new year. Hope you all did too! My computer died just before Christmas and it’s taken my hubby and I a while to bring it back to life…which is why it’s been a bit quiet. I lost 3 months worth of work (new years resolution no.33 = backup files more regularly!). Now seems like a good time to thank all you lovely lot for visiting minieco over the last couple of years. I am ever amazed at the increasing number of people who tune in! In between posts I regulary use pinterest so do pop over and check it out if you haven’t already. There seems to be a bit of a Polyhedra craze going on at the moment. I have put together some templates for a ‘platonic solids‘ garland. Simply chop, score and glue together. Don’t forget to thread your cotton in whilst glueing the pieces together….I forgot! If you want something a bit more subtle then you could make the polyhedra white with some neon/gold thread!
Inkling: paper bird centerpiece. It was time to get serious about a spring table centerpiece and after much thought or at least five minutes of thought - I decided I needed some blue birds. To make these little paper birds, you will need: Paper to form the bird (I used kraft paper) Masking tape Pretty paper to cover the birds (I used blue rice paper) Glue Start by forming a shape of a bird with the kraft paper. Cut strips of your pretty paper and glue to your bird shape leaving the beak area uncovered. Use your birds to add a touch of spring to your craft projects or home décor. I have a feeling I’ll be making more of these little birds and adapting them for all of the seasons.

Maybe you’ve made a god’s eye with a couple popsicle sticks at camp one summer in the hazy past, but have you considered the beautifully vast possibilities of this art form? South Carolina-based Etsy artist Jay Mohler has found a calling making Ojos de Dios (a.k.a. god’s eyes) with up to six sticks, twelve sides, and undulating intricate woven patterns. His creations are constructed from the very same humble materials that many of us associate with a camp craft — colorful yarn and sticks — plus, a healthy dose of ingenuity and a deep interest in Tibetan and Huichol artifacts and mandalas.
For this week’s How-Tuesday, Jay has teamed up with local Etsy photographer Emily Munn to create a how-to designed to coach you through the process of crafting your own singular Ojo de Dios, transforming raw materials into a harmonious artwork. Ojos de Dios, which is Spanish for “Eyes of God,” are made from yarn and sticks by native peoples of Mexico and South America. Supplies You’ll Need: Directions: Хартия. Get Crafty With Maps | The New Home Ec. Peas and Crayons: Crayons. How To: Create a Paper Cut Map of Your Favorite City Just Crafty Enough. I have a thing for maps, especially city maps. I love the way that admiring a map instantly reminds you of the myriad of reasons you love the city you live in. It can also quickly take you back to an incredible journey you took long ago, or catapult you forward in a longing reverie of a far-away place yet to be visited.
Like most things, I think I'll enjoy this paper cut map even more because I'll have made it myself, so I plan to give this project a try. This bright orange DIY map of Amsterdam from Just Crafty Enough has inspired me and the steps look simple enough: 1) Find a detailed (but not too detailed) map of your city of choice. 2) Use a thin black marker and a ruler to emphasize the lines that you are going to cut out. 3) Scan the map (with your markings) onto your computer and flip the image (so that the correct side will be outwardly facing when you mount it.) 4) Grab your exacto knife and cut away! 5) Spray adhesive onto your freshly-cut map and mount it.
A Rose is a Rose? Here's a new one! When is a rose not a rose? When it is picnic spoons. Really! These are fun and amazing. No one will guess what this is made of. Materials: heavy duty plastic spoons pin back (optional) Goop glue (optional) Tools: candle ceramic tile (optional) garden clippers pliers Hold a plastic spoon about an inch above a lighted candle; bowl facing down. Place them together and melt the handles just under the buds. When the handles melt, pull them off of the rose bud and push the bud onto a ceramic tile to flatten the melted area.
Melt the rest of the spoons but this time heat the underside of the bowls. Snip off the handles with garden clippers. Hold the tip of the petal with the pliers and heat the place on the spoon where the handle was until it begins to melt. Here you have a glossy, porcelain-looking rose. These spoons came from Wal-Mart (next to the paper towels).
Hot glue silk rose petals to the base of the rose if you wish. Craftsy: Learn It. Make It. Sculptural paper orb lights. It’s wonderful to see so many DIY projects that take advantage of the humble paper globe light. Just when I think I’ve seen them all, I come across a new one that I love, like this version created by Heather Jennings of Poppy Haus. While browsing her local Anthropologie store, Heather was inspired by two things: the ingenuity of the displays, all made with simple, everyday materials, and the Rhododendron Chandelier. Adorned with handmade, sculptural paper flowers, the chandelier is amazing, but at $898, Heather thought it would it be the perfect candidate for a DIY variation.
Luckily, Heather stumbled upon decorative cupcake liners with an optical, graphic print that provided the perfect amount of depth and texture. By layering them over plain liners, she was able to create a beautiful effect on these orb lights; the organic, anemone-like shapes look lovely up close, far away, unlit during the day and glowing from within at night.

Dette er mitt bidrag til denne månedens utfordring hos NIB som heter Color addict. Jeg kan virkelig ikke fordra gangen/entreen min. Planen var å male den hvit for mange år siden. (Jeg var gravid med min datter som blir 13 om et par mnd…) Jeg kjøpte malingen og min datters far måtte svinge kosten. Det jeg ikke viste var at de hadde blandet feil maling, og malemesteren trodde det var den fargen jeg ville ha (og han viste bedre enn å begynne å diskutere med ei som var høygravid :) Så i 13 år har jeg drømt om den dagen jeg kan total renovere hele greia. På veggen opp trappen har jeg bestemt meg for å gå for en ”fra gulv til tak” bildevegg som jeg skal vise fram når den er ferdig. Bildet på siden laget jeg for mange år siden ved å lime en og en Hama perle på en trefjøl. Diy best of: rope projects. Rope is one of our current obsessions, but it’s also one of those items that will never leave my love list.
It’s just a fantastic material, one of humanity’s greatest inventions. Rope owes all of its strength, durability and beauty to its structure. One simple knot can look as beautiful and graceful as many intricate layers of knots. I know I’m beginning to sound exactly like Portlandia‘s Jeff Goldblum, with his artisanal knot store, but I have a sincere love for and fascination with the beauty of rope, no matter how much of a hipster parody that might make me.
We’ll be bringing you more rope and knot-related projects in the coming weeks, but first, I wanted to share some of our best DIY projects from the archives featuring rope, twine, knotting, knitting and the like. For such a humble and relatively inexpensive material, rope can easily be fashioned into many different, incredibly beautiful forms. Read the full post after the jump . . .
