not martha - to make: papier-mache easter eggs - StumbleUpon For Easter I made papier-mache polka dotted eggs. I created them using small water balloons and tissue paper then I filled them with candy and toys and sealed them shut. The egg can hold a surprising amount of candy and the tissue paper seems delicate making for a delightfully heavy and yet fragile object, much like real egg. Also like a real egg you have to break the shell to get at what’s inside. You’ll need: water balloons (they make the egg-iest shape)white tissue paper (one sheet will make about three eggs)colorful tissue paper (one sheet will make many eggs, so you don’t need much)a 3/4 inch hole puncha paint brush you don’t care much aboutliquid laundry starcha sturdy shot glass to hold your egg while you’re working with ita way to hang the balloons to dryenough time to let these dry overnight, and a few hours to let them dry after filling and sealing them (you’ve been warned) A cutting mat, wheel cutter and straight edge will come in very handy but aren’t completely necessary.
Crafted Sowa - opis wykonania. Crafts For All Seasons Hand Stitching, part 1 - LA - StumbleUpon One of my favorite crafts is hand stitching-- it's fun, addictive, expressive and relaxing :) Over the next few weeks, I'm going to share easy ways to make your own patterns for hand stitching along with some tips and ideas :) These are some samples of my past projects-- I like to draw patterns freehand and use my handwriting. However, sometimes I adapt clipart type images to make a more complicated pattern, like the sewing machine or I just stitch the outline of an image I love, like the Goonies "Hey You Guys" silhouette :) I use a Back Stitch for all my hand stitching because it's very versatile and I like the look but you can use any combination of stitches for your projects... there's lots of fun ones! Today, we're going to start with handwriting & transferring your pattern :) You will Need: - Card-stock or Thick Paper (I cut a piece of 6x8" card-stock & folded it in half to create a greeting card) - Needle & Scissors - Embroidery Thread - Scrap Paper & Pen - Thumbtack or Piercing Tool

COUTURE COUTURE (trouvée sur le net) Water Candle Water and Candles? Yes, this is a fun way to get creative with your candle making and see where your imagination takes you! What you need Candle making supplies (wax and wax dye) Ready made taper candles Large bucket of cold water Heat proof or cloth gloves Instructions Follow the Basic candle making instructions. Add your chosen dyes to the wax. Allow the wax to cool as much as possible without setting. Place your gloves on and take your taper candle in your hand and submerge it into the bucket of water. Take your melted wax and pour it in and around your candle while keeping the taper candle submerged in water. As the wax hits the water twirl the tapered candle to collect the layer’s of newly poured wax. It may take some practice but once you have it mastered you can make these beautiful decorated candles. Try adding different colors of wax for a bright water candle display.
