DIY: Cute handmade kids shoes! Hey everyone, It's Janae! I wanted to share a DIY for soft soled baby gladiator sandals. I made these for my baby Hazel, and I love them so much! What you'll need: Leather or faux leather(make sure it's not too thick for the needle to go through). 1. 2.Wax coated string. 3.A strong needle! 4.Scissors or an exacto knife. 5.Leather string If you live in Springfield, go to Springfield Leather! +++I measured everything on my baby, she is a size 5 infant. Start by grabbing a pair of your child's shoes. After you cut the soles,measure the length of your child's upper foot (right under toes). Cut 3/4 inch wide strip of leather. Next I cut out 2 squares that were 1 1/2 inches X 1 1/2 inches (will be bigger if you have a bigger child). You can use one continuous 3 inch strip too. Turn it under and sew it on the edge of the heel. Next, take your leather string and tie it around your child's ankle. Mark where you would like it, and cut it. There you go!
Encouraging Words for 2012 Back in the summer of 2009, Portland, Oregon-based designer and creative director Ian Coyle decided that he would print a daily thought for 73 days straight. Using his 1950's letterpress, he printed and inked by hand these messages that seem to take on new meaning as we begin this new year. "Some were random, some pertinent, it was a great way to end each day," he says of the project he calls 73 Letterpress. Out of all of them, here were some of our favorites. May they encourage you today and always. Update: We got in touch with Ian to ask him a few questions about this project. Q: What made you want to start this project? Q: Was it hard coming up with ideas each day? Q: What is it about letterpress that intrigues you? Q: Which message seemed to resonate most with viewers? When I was printing them, I displayed them all on a 25 foot tall wall behind the press and people would stop in as one or two caught their eye. Q: What can we expect next from you?
A Beautiful Mess I love using cloth napkins to dress up our dinner table, and through the years I've grown even more fond of their sustainability and cost effectiveness. Though, I'm not sure how cost effective it is if you keep buying more and more cloth napkins each year! This holiday season I thought it would be fun to look at how I could dress up the napkins I already own to give them an extra festive vibe. Check out three simple ways you can give new life to your table linens. Ribbon Trimmed Napkin This look is so (no sew) simple! Supplies:-ribbon-heat bond in width of ribbon-cloth napkin (buy mine here)-iron-fabric scissors (not shown above) Step One: Trim pieces of your ribbon to be about 1.5 inches longer than the width of your napkins. Step Two: Fold down the edges of each ribbon segment about 1/4" and iron flat. Step Three: Iron the heat bond to the ribbon (pressing with hot iron for two seconds), then peel off the paper backing. Pom-Pom Trimmed Napkin This is my favorite napkin style by far!

The 5 Best Online Marketplaces for Selling Handmade Goods Once upon a time, it was considered insane to compete against eBay. If you sold custom-made goods like clothes or jewelry, you sold at flea markets on weekends, and eBay the rest of the time. The idea that anyone would shop anywhere else for your handmade merchandise was silly. But anyone who’s shopped on eBay knows how tough it can be to find certain goods. A search for “vintage t-shirt” may turn up more than 300,000 results, very few of which are either vintage or t-shirts. Sensing an opportunity, Etsy launched quietly in 2005 and has carved out its own little empire in the form of an alternative marketplace devoted to the sale of handmade (and vintage) items only. While it’s quite large, Etsy’s 12.3 million listings are dwarfed by eBay’s 300 million. We looked at five marketplaces--both big and small--for sellers of homemade, handcrafted, and vintage items. Etsy If you’re a crafter, Etsy should need no introduction. DaWanda Bonanza Heavily focused on higher-end clothing and fashion, U.S.

MALOWANIE FARBAMI NA TKANINIE | KREACJA DNIA Tak jak obiecałam, w dzisiejszym poście postaram się przekazać wszystkie swoje wskazówki i przemyślenia na temat malowania farbami na tkaninach. Zacznijmy od wyboru farby . Próbowałam rożnych dostępnych na rynku , ale jednak najlepsze efekty dają farby Marthy Stewart. Bardzo szybka schną, są prawie bezwonne, duża gama kolorystyczna , także kolory perłowe, matowe, maja bardzo dużo pigmentu. Cena za jedna farbkę o pojemności 59 ml to koszt około 14 zł. Teraz omówmy wybór materiału. Malując pamiętajmy o tym by nakładać na pędzel małą ilość farby, i nie zapomnieć włożyć pomiędzy ubranie grubszej gazety aby farba nie przeszła na drugą stronę. Przy pierwszych swoich pracach używałam ołówka , nie robiłam szablonu. Przy malowaniu tej bluzeczki użyłam szablonu wykrzyknik był celowo robiony odręcznie i niedokończony . Na koniec pomalowałam szerokim pędzlem farbą perłową, co dało naprawdę świetny efekt końcowy . Tu natomiast wykorzystałam liście jako stempla więcej TUTAJ Dodaj do ulubionych:
