The Perfect Gift: Yarn Ball Bookmark

Created by Jane from See Jane Blog . Edited by Amy Christie. Has the weather turned cold where you live? In my neighborhood, temperatures have dropped and my instincts are to spend the day cozied up with a favorite book and favorite mug full of hot cocoa. It was actually my daughter’s clever idea to make yarn pom pom balls in the style of a bookmark. Supplies: -yarn -scissors That’s it! *Before you start, cut an 8-10 inch piece of yarn and a 15 inch piece of yarn and set it aside. To start, hold the end of the yarn in your hand, and begin wrapping the yarn around your fingers – snug but not too tight. Cut the yarn after 90 wraps, and carefully slide it off your fingers. To add the bookmark ‘tail’, use the 15-inch piece of yarn, tie it around the same string you used to tie the 90 loops together, as seen in the pictures above. At this point, your yarn pom pom ball should look like the picture above. Voila! - A gift for a teacher — just add a favorite book! P.S. — We love making gifts!

Candy Jar Craft for leftover Halloween candy using caulk and a little creativity | Tween Crafts - Connecting Mom and Daughter through crafting If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our mailing list. Thanks for visiting! There are many things you can do with all of the Halloween candy that is inevitably in your house right now. You can donate it. Another idea is to get crafty and gift some of it. I tried two different candy jar ideas using caulk – an owl decorated jar for all you fellow owl-obsessed crafters… …and a cute cupcake jar that looks pretty enough to eat. For the owl candy jar, I used a pint sized mason jar. I laid the mason jar on its side so it was easier to work with. Then I pressed in the two large googly eyes, and started attaching the pine cone pieces on each side for the wing feathers. My daughter’s favorite candy right now is the Kit Kat. For a festive cupcake candy jar design, I used a mini 4 oz mason jar, small tube and seed beads for sprinkles, and a glittery bell for a cherry. What other ideas do you have to use some of your leftover Halloween candy? Happy crafting!

Vilken miljöbov! Därför ska du välja bort fleece Plagg av polyesterfleece värmer skönt och torkar fort. Ändå finns det goda skäl att undvika materialet. Fleecen släpper nämligen ifrån sig mängder av miljöskadliga plastpartiklar vid varje tvätt. Fleecekläder tillverkas ibland av återvunnen plast från PET-flaskor och tillverkarna marknadsför då gärna plaggen som miljövänliga. I snitt släpper ett fleeceplagg ifrån sig runt 1 900 plastfragment när det tvättas. På de här pyttesmå plastbitarna fastnar miljögifter, vilka sedan transporteras vidare upp genom näringskedjan via till exempel fiskar och musslor. Håll därför igen på tvättandet av dina fleecekläder.

page corner bookmarks 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.
