Recycle Tutorial ? Making Of T-Shirt Yarn | craftpassion.com Another tutorial to help save our Mother Earth by turning unwanted items into something useful. This is the yarn ball I made out of an old T-shirt which I have been wearing for 10 years day-in day-out, wash-in wash-out. It finally broke down and tore at the collar and sleeves. Waste not, want not, I decided to recycle it. I have finished making the drawstring bag as shown above. {CLICK HERE to get the Recycle Tutorial – Making Of T-Shirt Yarn.} Pages: 1 2 Print / Download PDF DIY Anthropologie-Inspired Photo Transfer Polaroid Shirt with Mod Podge It's no secret on this blog that I am a huge fan of good old Mod Podge, so when I got the chance to review some of Plaid's new products in the Mod Podge line, I was really excited. Those Mod Podge scientists have been concocting some really cool new formulas. :) Some of the new ones: There's now Outdoor Mod Podge, Antique Mod Podge, "Dimensional Magic" Mod Podge that behaves a lot like resin for jewelry-making, Hard Coat Mod Podge, Super Gloss Mod Podge, and so many more. For this project, I used the incredible Photo Transfer Mod Podge, and I was seriously blown away by the results. Here is my inspiration: My version: I bought my shirt at Goodwill, and I chose to go with a chambray shirt instead of a white one because white shirts tend to be short-lived in my closet. ;) -Shirt -Photo Transfer Mod Podge -Fabric Mod Podge (Optional. First you need to cut out the photo and lay your shirt out flat. Then you need to lay the image in place flat on your shirt. And now to the magic part. And voila!
Earring embroidery ring tutorial I honestly don't have a ton of earrings here in Korea, but recently I purchased a few pairs and they have been very unhappily clumped in a teeny weeny zipper bag. They don't like me very much for this - so I have decided to give them a place where they can dangle freely. This is just a basic tutorial to show you what I did - I hope that this will inspire you to draw your own design and make something amazing. If you would prefer to use my drawing then you can get the template here :) What you will need: A base piece of fabric - the size depends on the size of your embroidery ring. (my ring is only 15.5cm in diameter because I don't have many earrings) A template/ drawing of a design fabric scraps (cotton/felt) embroidery thread Before you start make sure that your picture is smaller than your embroidery ring (seems like a silly instruction but its a mistake that you don't want to make :) Iron the fabric on to the iron-on adhesive, trace/copy your pieces and cut them out. Have fun.
Book Nerd | Dreamy Colours Book Nerd Olá! Primeiro quero dizer que estou oficialmente de férias! Há uma hora atrás tive o meu último exame Não correu muito bem mas tou de férias não interessa! Bem ao ler alguns dos meus posts podem ter reparado que adoro ler! Era uma antiga t-shirt que nunca usada e tingi-a com lixívia. Para ser sincera não estava muito preocupada em ficar com defeitos por isso apenas cortei o papel e pus onde queria que as letras ficassem, não usei nenhuma fita cola ou papel de contacto xD A minha mistura foi 1 parte de lixívia para 2 partes de água. Acho que vou fazer mais destas t-shirts com outras palavras! 11 Responses to “Book Nerd” Malu Dini (Malluh) says: %A %B %e%q, %Y at %I:%M %p Caaaath! Tudo bem, menina?

felted garland « small bird blog Wednesday, December 16, 2009 by smallbirdblog I love handmade Christmas decorations, but I hardly had any that were made by my own hands…until now… I think I meant to make this felted garland last year…but I never got around to it. (That’s a familiar tune around here this time of year.) It was not *quite* as quick and easy as I had hoped, but that’s probably due, in part, to my perfectionism rearing it’s ugly head halfway through this thing. I used about 1.5 oz. wool roving in several colors, and got about 48 balls out of it. I arranged the various felted balls in a perfectly random pattern (I know, I have a problem), and used a natural, twine-colored worsted weight yarn to string them. I love the handmade touch they add to my mantle. Like this: Like Loading...
DIY Fashion: Painted Galaxy T-Shirt - College Fashion Galaxy print tee shirts are among my favorite trends of the past year: there is something so whimsical and retro-cool about colorful clouds and stars splashed across a tee. You can find a ton of handmade galaxy shirts, shorts, or even jeans on Etsy, but these items are usually pretty out of budget for the average college student. Want to try the trend for cheap? What you’ll need: Black t-shirtFabric PaintSponge brushesOld toothbrushPlastic plateCardboardOptional: Glitter How to: 1. To start, squirt your paints onto the plate to make a palette, then place your piece of cardboard inside your shirt to prevent the paint from bleeding through both sides. 2. 3. 4. 5. Voila! What do you think? Do you like the galaxy print trend?

clay jewelry dishes This is one of those projects I started just to have fun, never expecting to create something I truly loved! They are little dishes to hold jewelry, coins, keys, etc. Just in time for Mother's Day? I've never really worked with clay. Here I just used the Sculpey oven-bake clay my kids make stuff with. I played with texture plates, and background stamps, and individual stamps... I challenge you to try working with a new crafting material or technique. You can find the full directions and photos (including the trick to getting the curved form) in my project here at Fiskars. 25 DIY to Survive the (Zombie) Apocalypse | The New Home Ec By Jacinda | Way back in 2000 we had the fear of Y2K.
