It's a Book! It's a Bag! For today’s DIY I’m gonna show you all how to make a book bag. Now, when I say book bag I don’t mean a bag to carry your books around in. I mean an actual book made into a rad and totally useable handbag. Sound cool? Here’s how it’s done! You’ll need: A hardcover book (preferably with a pretty cover). Making the Purse Base: 1. 2. 3. Cutting out the pieces for the lining: 1. 2. After cutting all of your lining stuff out you should have five pieces in all: one book-size rectangle and four trapezoidal side-panel pieces. Assembling the side panels: 1. 2. Adding the straps: 1. 2. Also, if your straps are leather (or pleather, vinyl, or any other thick/heavy material), you’re likely gonna need to weigh them down with something (weights, heavy books, etc.) while they dry. Making your book look less ugly (aka it’s time to get our deco on): This part of the tutorial is for those of you who weren’t able to get your hands on any books with neat-looking covers. For decoupaging you’ll need: 1. 2. 3. 1. 2.
Kako staviti externe kompijuterske uredjaje ispod stola It happens to the best of us: we get seduced by some sleek ultramodern furniture design and forget to factor in what it will look like when we add cables, cords and other peripherals that have become essential in this age of electronic and digital technology. This idea solves the problem from the other direction: rather than boasting an initially simple design, it relies on your actions after-the-fact to transform a messy desk into a brilliantly clean workspace. Van Mardian may have been the first to publicize this simple DIY desk organizing idea, but many people have since (and likely before) come to the same conclusion: a simple piece of composite pegboard mounted underneath a work surface makes it easy to use wire, zip ties or whatever other fasteners you may have handy and attach all your necessary-but-ugly essentials so they are not seen from above.
Book Art- How to Fold a Book into a Word. I recently saw the following instructable on how to fold book pages into a number and it caught my attention. Instead of just a number I wanted to do a word or image. I love reading and thought this would make good gifts for friends. In particular is a couple with a huge collection of books that hosts monthly game nights. They make everyone feel welcome and I thought this would be a great gift for them. The instructable said to draw the image on the book; my problem is a word or image might get complicated and I am horrible at drawing. The beauty of this project is its simplicity. **NOTE** When trying to find instructions for book folding I found the above referenced page in French, did not see the translation.
All Wired Up: Old Beads Made New: | The Design Tree by Greentea Design Chokers and bracelets get old and unstrung; earrings get lost. It’s a fact of life that I have a lot of experience on. I’m pretty clumsy, and absent-minded too, which doesn’t bode well for accessories that come in pairs or come in strings. I have a box of these lost and lonely little rocks and resins to prove it. I’ve forged a certain affinity for wire a while back — when I thought I wanted to be a sculptor. Just want to share: A dusty old wire and resin project from years ago. I’ve skimmed through quite a number of websites that’s dedicated to the craft of wire jewelry, and found a ton of ideas and inspiration. All I needed were the most basic materials and tools.

Fancy Fabric Embellishments: Stuffed Yo-yos for Pinning or Wearing - Quilting Daily - Blogs I have quite a stash of hand-dyed silk ribbon, beads, buttons, and trims that I could use to embellish a quilt. The trouble is, aside from my small fabric collages, I haven't been making embellished quilts recently. Then I remembered Michelle Muska's Embellished Stuffed Yo-yos from the first season of "Quilting Arts TV." Michelle makes the yoyos out of scraps of cotton, velvet, or silk.

Icy Earrings From... Bubble Wrap?! I've been experimenting with fused bubble wrap this past week, something I've wanted to try ever since I spotted this awesome bubble wrap pendant over on Craft:. Here's what I came up with: Snowflakes! In June! There are lots of fused plastic and bubble wrap tutorials out there you can Google, but fortunately the process is really simple: just sandwich your plastic between two sheets of parchment paper and iron the bejeepers out of 'em. The resulting fused plastic is relatively smooth, but has a nifty crackly look to it, almost like frosted ice. Maybe in small quantities it's more pearl-ish. Anyway, after brainstorming a while I decided to take advantage of the icy look with snowflake earrings. They're pretty shiny when the light catches them, which adds to the ice illusion. These were made with four layers of fused bubble wrap, but I'd advise only using three layers if you try this yourself, since my poor punch almost didn't make it through the thick plastic.
