Gum Wrapper Chains | Did you know that the world’s most amazing gum wrapper chain is 11 miles long? Yeah, it’s true. It would actually take you several hours to walk the length of that thing. That’s just nuts! Do you remember making gum wrapper chains as a kid? We’ve made them out of regular gum wrappers, Starburst, Life Saver and Mamba wrappers. Everyone needs “mad skills” like this. Heh… Cut the wrapper in half, long ways. Fold up each edge about half way… then fold in half again to form a long, skinny strip. Now fold the long strip in half. Now fold each end in half, to meet in the middle. It should look about like this. Now fold a million little “prongs” just like this. Fit the two prongs of one piece into the slots of the other piece. Push it all the way through until it can’t go any more. Now take another “V” and slide it through the one you just fit in place… and on… and on and on… Now try one yourself. If you have any trouble–email me. I’ll help you. Happy National Crochet Week! March 8-14

How to make a trash can out of a cereal box & wallpaper (or wrapping paper) Step 1: Staple down the flaps (adds strength) Step 2: Cut paper to size and tape down ( I used double sided tape for this part, so that the tape wouldn’t show. Step 3: For the opening, cut the paper at each corner. Step 4: Fold extra paper like you would wrap a gift. Step 5: Insert plastic bag (I use old grocery bags) and start throwing your trash away! I made this trash can for my car about a month ago and it is such a lifesaver.

Paper Flowers - Anyone Can Do That | FindInspirations.com Japanese Kusudama, this tutorial is featured on Craftuts Anyone can do that, I assure you. The proof: I can, just take a quick look at my result below. And, believe me, I am neither meticulous nor particularly patient. You could even say I’m the opposite. Below you can see my very first attempt to create paper flowers. What you will need to make your own Kusudama paper ball? 1. 3. 4. (optionally) I prefer torn paper instead of cut. You have to start with a single petal. Now you have to glue your 5 petals into a flower. Apply the glue to only one side of each petal, except for the last one, in this case cover both sides with glue. Your first flower is done. Don’t glue every petal right after you make it. When all 12 flowers are finished you have to glue them together. When two halves of Kusudama Flower Ball are ready you have to glue them together.
DIY Maven Bubamara šarena - Мозилин фајерфокс (Mozilla Firefox) Nema veze pričamo li priče, uvijek, ponekad, gotovo nikada, one su tu oko nas. Da li će se neka priča ispričati ili ne ovisi da li je netko traži ili izmišlja ili je toliko očita da će je netko ispričati. Mene zanimaju one drugačije priče, priče koje će nam vrlo vjerojatno promaknuti ako se točno ne zagledamo u njih. Priče koje dišu svojim životom bez da bi netko pričao njihovu priču. Lagane, suptilne, tkaju svoje stranice bez ičije pomoći. Priča je najčešće u očima promatrača. Veliki krakovi šumske hobotnice probijaju se između stabala. Živi stvorovi raznih oblika sada se slobodno mogu probuditi i izaći iz svojih zimskih skrovišta, te uživati u životu, šumi i proljetnom suncu. Uživate li i vi sada? Oznake: fotografija, pria
