page corner bookmarks | I Could Make That This project comes to you at the request of Twitterer @GCcapitalM. I used to believe that a person could never have too many books, or too many bookmarks. Then I moved into an apartment slightly larger than some people’s closets (and much smaller than many people’s garages) and all these beliefs got turned on their naïeve little heads. But what a person can always look for more of is really cool unique bookmarks. Page corner bookmarks are cute, practical and deeply under-represented in the world.* They’re easy to make, easy to customize, and will set you apart from all those same-same flat rectangular bookmarks. If you like this tutorial, here are a couple others that might be up your alley. If you’re loving the toothy monster vibe, check out these simple monster heating bags, filled with rice or wheat and entirely microwavable, to keep toes or fingers or tummies warm during the chilly winter months. What you’ll need: Putting it all together: 1) Follow steps 2 and 3 from above.

pochettes page de livre Ett av mina mest lästa och mest kommenterade blogginlägg sedan starten hösten 2011 handlar om hur man viker egna kalaspåsar. Fler än jag verka tycka att det är roligare och mer prisvärt att göra egna påsar istället för att köpa färdiga. Det var just denna teknik jag använde när jag vek dessa presentpåsar av ett gammalt loppisfyndat lexikon. Klicka här för att läsa vik-beskrivningen. För att piffa upp påsarna lite extra stämplade jag på boksidorna med silikonstämplar/clear stamps på akrylblock och en svart stämpeldyna. For decoration I stamped the book pages with silicon stamps on acrylic blocks and a black ink pad. För att försegla påsarna vek jag ner kanten och klämde dit miniklädnypor (25 mm). Storleken på påsarna beror förstås på storleken på boksidorna.

Inred med böcker – Decorate with books För två år sedan gjorde vi om ett av sovrummen till bibliotek. När alla böcker skulle upp i hyllorna kändes det enklare att placera dem i färgordning istället för i bokstavsordning. Jag tycker att det ger ett mer harmoniskt intryck och det är många som hajar till när de kommer in i biblioteket. En del tycker vi är helt galna, andra tycker att det är en kul grej. Den platsbyggda barnbokshyllan har vi snickrat ihop själva och vi utgick från en ritning vi hittade i en gammal inredningstidning. Fler tips på hur man kan inreda med böcker:More inspiration on how to decorate with books: 1. 4. 7. 10. Hand Embroidered Cards Look what I found in my desk drawer! I made these embroidered cards so long ago and then just tucked them away in a drawer to be forgotten about. What a shame! I thought these cards would make a great DIY for the blog because they're easy and fun to make, and you probably have all the supplies on hand already. If you're anything like me you have waaaaay too many colors of embroidery floss tucked away somewhere. What you'll need: Pencil for drawing your designPiece of thick cardboardEmbroidery flossSheets of blank paperEmbroidery needle and a pin with a headBlank Card Start by drawing out your design on a piece of thin blank paper. When I made my fruit cards, I actually used an iron-on transfer from Sublime Stitching, which is a really great book that you should all run out and buy right this very second. Now you can start poking holes along the lines using the pin with a head. Now comes the fun part! Once you're done, admire your work!

Beautiful DIY Kiragami Card Last month, my best friend took me out to lunch for my birthday. She gave me one of the most unique and beautiful birthday cards ever. Surprisingly she told me she made it herself. Now she has always been a "Martha Stewart" type, doing lots of fun crafty projects, but this card was different. So I asked her what inspired her? She smiled anticipating the question, knowing I would be impressed. After lunch, I rushed home back to my computer and searched YouTube. The freebee pattern took two sheets of card-stock paper to make. For the next hour, I believe I made all thirteen of the patterns. When I first came about Curbly last month, I really enjoyed reading articles from creative people like berryberr, diy maven and chrisjob. I've always liked playing around with origami, I could do the “crane,” the “fortune-teller thing” and the ninja star. If you want to check it out you their web site is The YouTube video is at:
