DIY Wrap Bracelet There are so many great wrap bracelets out there, but Chan Luu is my fav! But for 220 Euros a piece they are a bit pricy!! Well, not to worry because they are suuuper easy to make yourself! it is a bit time consuming depending on how many times you want them to wrap, but so worth it!! ** updated instructions here** You tie your thick cotton string and a transparent beading line (or fishing line, whatever you have around) to your button. Start by adding a bead to the transparent line, loop it around the left one cotton string, then back through your bead. Hope you are as thrilled by this as me!!

This is a Knitting / Crochet themed location and is a GREAT spot if you are here in Korea and fond of that craft! Yes, it is a cafe~ but it is so much more as well ♥ If you are looking for where to buy crochet yarn & supplies in Korea this place is definitely of interest for you! Banul (means Needle) is an online community founded by 송영예 for sewing, crochet, and any related products or materials here in Korea. It is where people can post tutorials, lessons, reviews, forum competitions, and share information with each other + also serves as an online marketplace for supplies throughout the country. Since the site is quite large and successful they have finally branched out and opened several Banul Story locations throughout Korea so that people have a physical location they can visit as well, when shopping for supplies it really does make life a lot easier to see the items in person lol.
Craft Recycled: Cell Phone Charging Station from a Lotion Bottle by Becky Striepe on March 14, 2012 Ashley over at Make It Love It was tired of leaving her cell phone on the floor while it charged. The phone got grungy, and it was sort of an eyesore. She decided to get crafty and do something about it! Her solution? An upcycled cell phone charging station made from a plastic bottle. In her tutorial, she shows you how to transform an old plastic bottle into a cute cell phone charger that hangs right from the outlet! What I like about this charging station is not only that it's upcycled, but by hanging the phone right by the plug, you'll be more likely to remember to unplug that charger when it's done powering up your phone. About the Author: Becky Striepe is a green blogger and independent crafter with a passion for vintage fabrics.

I feel melty. | Light&Spoon EDIT 11/5/2012: We are no longer selling custom crayon pieces in our Etsy shop. We are now focusing on a new jewelry project, so please check that out and we hope you enjoy the tutorial below! Edit: We are now selling custom crayon pieces in our Etsy shop! Here’s our contribution to the melted crayon craze on Pinterest. Anyway! He filled in in with marker, and then we taped some saran wrap around a piece of cardstock to make a run-off barrier for the top of the umbrella. We pulled out all the blues and greys from three boxes we got on sale for $2.50 each at A.C. Then it was just a matter of putting the crayons through the gun–the pretty-but-stupid impulse-buy glue gun that barely works, so I didn’t ruin my good one. The hardest part was removing the guard and fixing the wax around it. Yay! Like this: Like Loading...
eight-day-of-christmas-8-maids-milking I had such a great response when I asked about Aprons I am thinking about doing "Apron week" the first week in January. If you like this idea let me know AND email me a picture or link to any aprons you would like ot see made and I will tackle it! I love a challenge! Would you guys like to do this? I love love love pretty aprons and I actually think this is the one area where Anthropologie prices aren't that bad. (It was SUPER windy, and then down poured, while I was trying to get these pics so the ruffle wouldn't lay straight) Unlike Anthro's I lined mine. I did a triangle pocket like the original but didn't do a large bow (you totally can if you like). I like to have some pictures with what I make actually on a human (because not all of us have awesome unproportional bodies like the mannequin) I told my friend if she would let me take pics I would let her choose an apron to keep and I promised not to get her face in the pics as she claimed not to be camera ready :) Totally easy right?
Better Late Than Never....Anthro Knock Off Lamp Tutorial As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have been slightly obssesed with lamps as of late.So, when I came across this lamp at Anthropologie, I knew I had to try and recreate it. I made a teacup clock a while back and ever since then have had a little preoccupation with teacups and saucers. I can't go to the thrift store without browsing the dish section and as a result have acquired quite an assortment. I was excited to come across this lamp so that I could put my growing collection to use. Here's what you'll need to make your own lamp. One bowl I just found a cereal bowl from the thrift store that had a fairly wide base. One teapot I found mine at Ross for $4.99. An assortment of saucers(three) and teacups(two) I found all of my cups and saucers at the thrift store for $.50 to $.75 a piece (except for one that I found at TJ Maxx for $1. 1 lamp kit I used this kit from The Home Depot. Gorilla Glue Epoxy You can buy this at any home improvement store or at Walmart for around $4.
How to make an Outdoor Candle Lantern Inexpensively Last week I made a candle chandelier for my deck. It looks so pretty when lit, but the rest of my yard was looking kind of neglected. I was determined to find a way to spread some more candle light around the yard to balance the light and provide more ambiance. I used to have Tiki torches, but they unravel and have to be filled up with oil that makes a mess. I remember years ago seeing candle lanterns at a wedding that I thought were pretty clever and decided I could try to make them myself, but I needed to find some glass hurricanes. A trip to the thrift store was in order yesterday. Usually when I go on my weekly thrift store excursion I run in and do a quick cruise around the store to see if anything pops out at me. Total cost of my glass haul – $2.70. Here is what I made with the hurricane. It was very quick and easy to make. How to Make a Tuna Can Lantern I used a tuna can, wood screw, copper adapter, and an old paint stick. Screw the screw into the stick. The top will look like this.
