sobres 18K+ Well I got this idea from our friend Nina. She was making these super cute envelopes out of scrapbook paper and I really wanted to make some! So I came home and made some! They are so so SO simple and add a personal touch to your envelopes. You will need: An old magazine, scissors, an envelope, a glue stick and a Sharpie. Tear out some magazine pages that you like. Carefully pull the envelope apart. Trace the envelope on a magazine page. Cut the envelope shape out. Turn the envelope over as well as the magazine cut-out. Unfold everything and separate the magazine cut-out from the envelope. Glue the bottom flap down to the two side flaps. And you've made your own envelope! The great thing about making these envelopes our of magazine pages is that the envelopes have a character all of their own.
How to Make a Tiny Terrarium in a Light Bulb | The Hipster Home Ahoy there Hipster Homers! I’m Julie and I’m the very first guest blogger on this fine site. Today’s project involves breaking stuff, plants, found objects, and miniatures. Fun, right? Let’s get started! Dos and Don’ts: Do use sand or small pebbles; these are good because water drains through them easily. How To: You’ll need a few tools to make a tiny terrarium but nothing complicated to get started. Needle-nose pliersScissorsLong tweezers or chopsticksFlathead screwdriverGlasses or goggles Let’s start with the light bulb. We will be removing the inside parts of the lightbulb. First, remove the metal tip from the bottom of the bulb. Then, when enough of the sides are raised to get a good grip on them, hold one of the sides with your pliers and yank out the metal tip. Next remove the black glass. Now you will be able to see the interior parts of the light bulb. Using the flathead screwdriver as a sort of lever, snap the interior tube from the side. And now you have an empty light bulb!

I’m Diane Payne and I’m so excited to be here sharing a tutorial using buttons, lots of buttons! I must admit, I love buttons and I always have. Let’s get started… To make my Christmas tree I used a variety of things I already had in my stash, with the exception of the frame, which I purchased.

I purchased a frame with an opening large enough to accommodate the size I envisioned for my tree. Now we’re ready to start painting the background for the canvas.
DIY “time flies” butterfly clock I am obsessssssed with, what we’ve dubbed the, Time Flies butterfly clock sculpture that we created on a wall at the Mr. Kate office. We didn’t have a clock yet in the office so we came up with this design that uses pre-made butterflies from the craft store as well as some stamped out butterfly shapes from paper to embellish a clock that was $3! I chose to make all the butterflies black (which we sprayed with fabric paint) for a sculptural and chic twist on butterfly decor. This DIY could be interpreted in a variety of ways, larger scale with a larger clock, or different colors and in a kid’s room…the options are endless!…and did I say I’m obsessed?!
