seeing shadows...
We're just around the corner from a major holiday. OK, yes, Valentine's Day...but before that, Groundhog Day. For those of us in cold climates, the arrival of a small furry creature can be key. I'm still a few days early, but I wanted to give you time to be making something fun for this amazing weather prediction holiday. What's inside this sweet little groundhog? You can make one too...you'll just need felt (brown and black or gray) and embroidery floss. The first step is to make a pattern. Use that first pattern to make another piece that is exactly the same at the top, but is 1" longer, and squared off at the bottom. Cut out your pieces. Stitch a face to the front. Layer your pieces as follows: Shadow, Back, iPod/Phone, Front. Make sure the ears line up. Stitch across the bottom with a running stitch through the shadow and the front piece. You're done! NOTE: I have not attached a closure to mine.

DIY Tutorial: Mirrored Collars - ÆTIENNE.NET
August 26, 2010 While I’m (still) working on another DIY project, I did a quick one this morning to make up for my lack of tutorials lately! Inspiration: I’ve wanted to make a detachable collar with a mirrored surface for some time (no idea why), but it wasn’t until I saw Lucinda‘s post on her prismatic shoes that I realized that it was totally DIYable- with old CDs. What you will need: Unwanted ShirtAn old CD, or two, depending on how much surface you want to cover.Basin/Old Container that can fit the CD nicely. (You might want to throw this away when you’re done)A ChopstickA pair of scissors (that you’re, preferably, willing to part with)Uhu Glue Instructions: Cut out the collar from the shirt.Place the CD into the container, and pour boiling water into the container. Cut the CD out into angular shapes, then place them on your collar to see if you like it. Final Result: Failed Example: I actually wanted the pieces to coat the collar completely, but I’m just lazy not a fan of shiny objects.

DIY Newspaper Gift Bag |
This newspaper gift bag is a cute way to wrap a birthday present for a friend! It’s super easy and lots of fun! I used the comic section, but go ahead and use any other section or kind of paper you like! Thanks to www.howaboutorange.blogspot.com for all the basics for this tutorial! You’ll need 2 sheets of newspapergluealso super glue if you wantribbon or stringcard stock First, stack 2 pieces of newspaper onto of each other. Fold along the lines listed in the picture above, creating 5 rectangles across and a fold on the top and bottom. Cut two pieces of card stock to 4.25″ x 1″, and glue them on the widest two panels just under the top fold. Put glue on the outside of the 0.5″ tab and bring the left-most panel over to form the body of the bag, aligning the cut edge of the panel with the folded edge of the flap. Now we have to close the bottom. Put glue on both flaps and then fold them inward to close the bag. Cut a piece of card stock to 4″ x 2.5″ and glue it to the bottom of the bag.
Felt Flower Pillow Tutorial
I'm really in love with the versatility of felt at the moment, plus it's a fabric that's perfect for the fall season. So, I decided to combine felt with some of the Marimekko fabric that I recently purchased at Crate and Barrel Outlet and create a fun throw pillow. Here's what you'll need if you want to make your own... SuppliesFelt - Two colors for the flower petals and one color for the centerFabric - The Merimekko fabric I used has a bold leaf design on it to complement the flower, but you can use any fabric you like.Piping 1.5" Cover Button Kit ScissorsRotary cutter (optional)Freezer paper Polyester battingCoordinating threadSewing machine (not pictured)Straight pins (not pictured) Step 1: Cut a piece of freezer paper into an 8.5" x 11" rectangle and print this pattern for the petals onto it. Make sure the paper is oriented in your printer so that you will be printing onto the paper side (not the side that is coated in plastic). Step 6: Repeat step five with all of your petals.
