Bleach Painting on Textiles D.I.Y.

I love the simplicity of her design and can't wait to try this. Enjoy! Bleach painting is a fun, easy and inexpensive way to play with fabric dying and I know you'll love the results! I chose to create a simple tank with the phrase "We are made of stars" which is adapted from a famous Carl Sagan quote. I hope you enjoy my take on painting with bleach! Supplies Needed: Fabric safe household bleach, inexpensive synthetic bristle paint brush, glass or ceramic bowl, dark colored cotton blend top, a white towel or rag, white chalk, cardboard.

ReFabulous... it's new again.: Make your own paperback wallet! I wanted to share my tutorial for making wallets out of old paperback books (or any paper media, really.)

ReFabulous... it's new again.: Make your own paperback wallet!

This basic wallet was not my idea... the original link does not work (but here it is anyway.) The original design was flawed, and the wallets ripped the first time you opened them. I changed the design, and made them much, much stronger. My own wallet is over 1 1/2 years in use now, and still going strong. Not bad, huh? (And let me apologize in advance for the book cover I used in the tutorial. Enjoy! Gather your supplies: Make template and cut pieces: **Cut a template measuring 4" X 7" from scrap paper. **I just took a piece of scrap cardstock about 2" long, and 4" wide.

**Now, you can cut out your cover using the template. **Make some folding adjustments to the interior if you need to to get them to fit.

Suffice to say, it’s a general way to denote sewing your paper to the cover of your book. I’m sure you’ve noticed journals out there with exposed sewing in the binding in a variety of patterns and designs. They are all technically longstitch binding techniques, but in different patterns.
