Mini Cosmetics Bag | The Late Afternoon As promised, here is the result of my new fabrics – a mini cosmetic bag! Not only was I excited to actually make something out of my new fabrics, this project also gave me a chance to practice sewing with zippers (something I’ve never done before). I followed this tutorial, but made mine a bit smaller and more rectangular, rather than square shaped. It is always amazing to see how all the pieces (somehow) come together as you sew.

Fancy Journal Since I was a little girl I have loved to write. I got my first journal when I was 8 and I still have it… Do you see the Strawberry Shortcake small book that says “Mi Diario”? “Mi Diario” means “My Journal”. I have kept a journal since I received that first one. I love to read them, share them with my husband and children and remember things that otherwise I would have forgotten. Weeks ago I got the privilege to visit with beautiful Jen and share over at her EXTRAORDINARY blog Our family theme for 2012 is DREAM BIG! It is my hope that these journals collect for many years to come our dreams, the accomplishments of some and perhaps the hope for others to come true someday. Just in case you missed it here is the TUTORIAL You’ll find these note books pretty much anywhere. These are the small ones… about the size of your hand. The Tutorial The Front and Back Covers. The first thing I did was to trace the shape of the cover { from the end side until the black line } into a piece of craft paper. The Tabs.
40 Party Favors You Can Make Yourself! With a little planning you can easily make the treat bag favors for your next party! All of these items can be made to go with any theme; think color, size, shape, and scent. Ideas for containers are listed below as well as a few useful party favor tips. Everything pictured above is linked below. Treat Bag Container Ideas: Helpful Tips: *Use common sense when deciding what items to make for different ages - save anything that is small, or dangerous if swallowed, for the older kids. *I always write each child's name or initials on every single item in their treat bag with a permanent marker, that way you can prevent any confusion if items get misplaced. *Consider having extra treats available in case some items are lost - the younger the child the more important this becomes. *If the party guests have siblings at home, you might consider sending an extra treat, or two, home with them. *Take allergies into account when including food or candy in the treat bag.
Tiny Polaroid Magnet Hi there! It’s felt like forever since I’ve last blogged, and has felt like an eternity since I’ve done anything crafty and nifty. Since my morning sickness has gone into full speed (yes, we’re expecting our third this fall!) I haven’t felt like myself. I came across these DIY Pantone chip magnets on How About Orange and wanted to do something similar. You will need: Cardboard (mine was the backing of a sketchbook — much thicker than the back of a regular spiral bound notebook) or 2-3 sheets of white cardstock or poster board spray-mounted together to use as a sturdy backing to the magnetsOpaque white marker (necessary only if your cardboard is not white) Craft knife Metal straight edge/ruler Clear packing tape or frisk film. Step 1: Download a Photoshop file of the Polaroid frames below. Step 2: Print out photos onto photo paper. Step 3: Spray the back of your sheet of photos and also the cardboard with spray mount. Step 4: Trim out photos with craft knife. 487 Comments
Inexpensive Party Favors for Teens While inexpensive things and teens sound like they can't even belong to the same sentence, there are a few things that teens will appreciate. Here are a few suggestions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Good luck and have fun! Dye Objects It happens to me every year. The second spring hits, I’m standing in front of my closet going, I am so sick of all my clothes, if I see that shirt again I’ll throw up, but I don’t have any money for new stuff, I’M SO TIRED OF EVERYTHING I OWN. You know that feeling? Let’s kill it with instant-wardrobe-transformer (aka RIT dye). to these! And it’s not even hard. Now, there are other kinds of clothing dye out there, but I chose RIT because it’s got simple instructions on the back of the package, it costs about $3 per box, and you can find it almost everywhere in the U.S. I’m gonna show you how to do a basic stovetop dye job. But! OK! You will need: Something to dye: choose a white, off-white, or beige item of clothing made of natural fiber (cotton, wool, silk, linen), a blend of natural fibers (like a cotton/linen blend), nylon, or rayon. So now that we have our materials, let’s dye this elegant-yet-boring purse I found at a garage sale for a dollar! Step One: Fill your pot ¾ full with water.
Best Birthday Party Favors: Less Is More And Consumable Is Even Better Mar08 by Melissa Summers I have a few allergies. I am allergic to not having the last word and to paying full price for anything. As I mentioned the other day, all the children at my son’s school were born in March. I know that’s not what the birthday boy’s parents had in mind when they plunked down $40 to give everyone something to take home from the party. Consumable = Nothing to find a place for or to be sucked up in my vacuum, except perhaps crumbs. A candy bar with a video rental gift card attached. Coloring Pages, a small box of crayons and a small container of homemade play dough. Use foil balloons weighted by a bottle of bubbles for decorations, at the end of the party send each child home with one. I love these Dover Little activity books. These finger puppets are a little pricey, but they’re so cute I wanted to include them. How about just a cookie? I made red elephant sugar cookies with the number 4 in yellow icing as favors a couple of years ago.

How to cut glass I posted a picture about 1 week ago on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter of me cutting glass using just string. I got LOT’S of requests for a tutorial on how I DID THIS! So here it is. FINALLY! You will be able to learn how to cut glass. I want to warn you. It’s best to triple your yarn because it will burn longer! Soak it GOOD! I like to tie my yarn where I want my glass to “cut” then quickly pour polish remover over the string again. Get a big bowl with ice and water ready. VERY IMPORTANT! Slowly turn your bottle. You can’t let the flame go OUT then dunk it in the ice water. YAY!!! I reallly hope you enjoyed this tutorial because I had ALOT of requests for it! © Copyright jaderbombllc, All rights Reserved.
HELLOmynameisHeather Paper toys were big in the 1800s and early 1900s. From paper dolls to model planes, children found hours of peaceful playtime in paper toys. Tapping my nostalgia for eras gone by, I designed the Flower Pinwheel, a great project to create for – or with – your children. They make snappy decorations too. Most of the supplies needed are likely in your scrapbooking stash: paper, eyelets, brads, ribbon. You won't believe how well these pinwheels work -- they even spin when you're just walking past them. These playful pinwheels were featured in the December 2008 issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine. Enjoy! xo--Heather
