DIY Geek Shoes, I Want To Make ‘Em – D E F E C T I V E G E E K S These geeky DIY (Do-It-Yourself) shoes started showing up on my Pinterest page and I thought they were pretty rad. I would love to make some myself but I know I’m too much of a lazy bastard to even get around to it. Still, I decided to use the power of Google search and comply a list of tutorials of these fashionably, nerdy shoes. I love these Batman flats! You can find the how-to instructions on this website: Cut Out and Keep. These R2-D2 inspired shoes are actually painted by nerdporn on Etsy.com! Geekfemme on blogspot has a bunch of photos from a nerdy-shoe-making party she hosted. From that same party, FashionablyGeek.com’s Clone War heels turned out super cute. I also discovered her blog post on these incredible Doctor Who shoes (that I can never own) by Lonely-Soles.

Kid’s (Small) Messenger Bag When my two-year-old son decides he wants to go somewhere he picks up my purse, puts it over his shoulder, and heads for the door. As cute as that is, Daddy thought a cool boyish bag should be made for him as soon as possible! So I came up with this messenger bag that’s toddler sized. So let’s get started. 2 rectangles of fabric, one each for the inside and outside of the bag, 15.5″ wide X 31.5″ 4 rectangles of fabric, two each for the inside and outside of the 2 pockets, 11″ wide x 6″ tallA shoulder strap cut to a length that fits your or your child comfortably (my son’s is 32″)My free pattern you can download here in Google Docs. All seam allowances are 3/8″ unless otherwise noted. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Looking for the Accuquilt Giveaway?
stamp tutorial (Hearts Afire, 12" x 12", hand-carved stamps on heavy watercolor paper, 2007) (This tutorial can also be purchased as an e-book from both Amazon.com and Barnes and Nobel.) Every artist needs primary source material. Primary source material is original images, sketches, drawings and photographs that the artist herself has generated without the aid of any outside sources. In other words, the shot you snapped of light reflecting off water, the sketch you made of your kitty, or the watercolor landscape you painted a few years ago is your primary source material. Finding PSM becomes challenging (and often disheartening) if you're an artist like me who doesn't draw. That very fact alone nearly stopped me dead in my tracks years ago, when the desire for making art began to bubble inside me in earnest. So how does an artist who can't, don't, or won't draw get original imagery into their art? Let's get to it. Corrugated Cardboard Stamps What You'll Do: To Clean: wipe gently with a damp cloth Voila!
painted glass tabletop I try to get my hands on every material I can think of, and sadly, that means I can never make a quick trip to the hardware store. Even when I plan to rush in and grab a packet of bolts or a can of paint, I always leave three hours later with those things, plus a sample of random plastic tubing and tons of half-formed ideas. But when this project from Kara Paslay landed in my inbox, I ran to the store, bought the supplies, and wasted no time making one of these tabletops myself. This project is so easy to re-create; even the intricate triangle design that Kara has made requires mainly patience and a steady hand. I think this would make a wonderful project for outdoors; since the painting is on the underside of the glass, it can be protected from the elements and easily cleaned. It’s great that you can customize the design however you please, but Kara’s bright, summery geometric pattern was too beautiful for me to pass up. Have a DIY project you’d like to share?

Les lettres scintillantes de Paper Cup On en a vu beaucoup, sur internet, de ces grandes lettres scintillantes. Mais celles-ci, que nous propose aujourd’hui la talentueuse Minhee de Paper Cup (dont on vous a déjà parlé plusieurs fois) ont un petit quelque chose en plus : elles sont faciles à réaliser. Les feuilles de polystyrène sont très simples à découper, aussi, vous pouvez-même vous lancer, avec ce principe, dans la confection de très grandes lettres, ou de projets plus complexes comme la fabrication d’une phrase complète. La preuve en suivant ces quelques étapes… Pour réaliser la guirlande pailletée, vous avez besoin de…- Peinture en spray dorée- Ruban fin en satin noir (ou une autre couleur de votre choix!) Etape 1 – Des lettres en orDécoupez les lettres et attachez les avec les punaises sur les feuilles en polystyrène. Etape 2 – Le cœur des fleursDécoupez le papier crépon sur 15x5cm, puis prenez le fil de fer et enroulez-le en partant d’une extrémité. Merci Minhee pour cette brillante idée!
Make it Do Gift: Cozy Bed Warmers A cozy bed warmer is one of my favorite things. Put them in the microwave for a few minutes and they work wonders for cold feet, aches and pains, or plain old stress relief. Bed warmers make a such a wonderful gift. They are easy to make, inexpensive, and both pampering and useful. For years I would climb into bed in the winter and put my cold feet on my husband’s legs to warm them up. Last year for Christmas, my Mom made them for all of her grandchildren. My husband steals mine for back or neck aches… come to think of it, maybe he needs one for Christmas. To heat up your bed warmer, simply put it in the microwave for 3 to 4 minutes. You can make a bed warmer filled with feed corn, rice or buckwheat. We have found several fabrics that make good warmers, such as cotton chenille, cotton flannel or cotton fabric. I prefer a bed warmer with a removable, washable cover. Here’s what you will need for this project: Here’s how to make a cozy bed warmer: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

Bon bref, j'ai des collants et leggings qui étaient prêts à partir à la poub, mais comme toujours avant de jeter je réfléchis et me pose la question... puis-je recycler? hihi ça peut durer un instant. Et là pour le coup, le côté stretch des collants surtout les épais m'ont donné une idée, en coupant de larges rondelles de saucisson ça doit bien faire des élastiques. j'en coupe un bout pour voir aux ciseaux et test sur ma splendide crinière. Mais c'est super! rooo comme je suis contente de moi, vite faut que je dépose le truc avant Nabila à moi la richesse!! je fais la petite danse de la victoire yep! sous les yeux ahuris de ma fille qui soupire de désespoir. pffff tant pis même pas honte. Je prends l'APN, me colle à la fenêtre pour le tuto je tranche dans la matière avec plaisir, ooooo
Triangles and polka dots I gave some hints last week about 'something' I whipped together for the birthday girl. Since she's officially ten now, and all the presents were unwrapped and all ten candles were blown out last night (the cake we still have plenty off, but that's a story for later), I can finally show you some pictures. As some of you already guessed, I made a flag garland. I used whichever fabric I had available from my failing bag business. Now, if you want to try this, all you need is fabric in a couple of different prints and/or colors, cut to triangles (I used the same size triangle for all flags, but you could vary sizes if you like, or even combine different shapes), some biais tape and thread. For the polka dot garland, just hop over here to find a short description. Wishing you a good week! xo, P.
Bunny Finger Puppets Besides being adorable, these little puppets are a snap to make. You could make the whole set of five (or more) in one evening with time to spare.
