Ten minute no-sew recycled t-shirt bag!
Tutorial time! I got a gig teaching a recycled t-shirt project at the library a few months ago, with a request for a recycled tee bag – the only bags I’d made from tees in the past had required sturdy sewing, and I didn’t want hand-sewing to be the only thing holding the bottom closed in a class version of the bags, so I started brainstorming about some kind of hand-sewing-friendly or no-sew bag idea…. and here’s what I came up with! The simplest version of these bags is great for smaller tees, or the more light-weight kind of girl-tees – just turn the bottom of the shirt into a drawstring and tie it closed! But to make smaller holes, just make more than one of them! And now for the actual tutorial – for this one, with the step-by-step, I will be making the bottom with 3 holes. Cut the sleeves off, but try to make a somewhat straight line, and go in a bit from the seam – these lines will be the sides of your straps: You could make it rounded, V-shaped, or squared like this one:

How to Make Paper Pencils (tutorial)
I have always wanted to make my own pencils, but the thought of shaping two pieces of wood to allow a piece of lead to sit perfectly inside made me think it wasn’t worth the effort. For some reason I was looking at some pieces of lead I have (for a drafting pencil) and “pop” there it was.. a solution to my DIY longing. Here is a tutorial to make pencils that is so ridiculously easy I’ve made 10 pencils since the idea came to me yesterday! Enjoy. Paper: I recommend using 6″ origami paper. The paper I used was beautiful washi origami paper made in Japan (see exact product here). Here’s a video I made so you can watch me make it from start to finish! I have to admit I really enjoyed doing this craft. Hope you’re just as excited about this as I am! leads {here} paper {here} mod podge {here} {If you like pencils, you may also like my toadstool pencil craft!} Share 16K+ Kimanh Hi my name's Kimanh.

Pop Top Lamp Shade
Update: Lots of folks have been asking about the fancy rainbow-colored shade in the new photo. It was made using the same techniques described in this article. The tabs are not painted; they are all recycled from cans that have factory-anodized color pull tabs. A few of them I collected myself, but most of them I scored by watching eBay for awhile. I made the first one of these back in 2009, and it was later included in Garth Johnson’s creative reuse book. The only parts in this lamp shade are soda can “stay” tabs and the top and bottom lamp shade hoops.

Empire Sheet Dress Tutorial: Get something a lot nicer out of your extra sheets.
I think this might be one of the easiest ways to make a empire waist summer dress. (DISCLAIMER, Honestly, I don't "do" strapless. I like to be more modest. You will need: *A sacrificial sheet. -Side note- I used a rotary cutter and board for this. STEP ONE: The bodice Look for the narrow hem of the sheet (The part of the sheet where your feet go. It will look like this when it is finished. STEP TWO: The length Measure yourself to the length that you would like your dress to be. Once you have made up your mind- cut it! STEP THREE: Everything is better with ruffles My way of making a decent ruffle is to multiply the length of the skirt by two. I sewed the pink strip on first. Don't forget your belt. So that is it.

So, if your goal in life is to be as sexy as possible at all times, then I guess this isn’t the dress for you. Not even a little sexy? 1. You’ll see the front neckline is lower then the back. 2. Sew in place. 3. Align the edges and pin together: Sew together and finish the edges by serging, sewing with a zig zag stitch, or cutting with pinking shears: 4. Sew in place with a straight stitch: You can leave the sleeve like this, but it will be a bit pointy as in this pic: So i made a little tweak. Fold the tip of the sleeve down about 1″: Secure it in place at both sides of the fold with a few stitches perpendicular to the sleeve: 5. 6. So you need to finish the neckline. Then I folded one side over the other, and sewed it in place along the previous stitch line: 7. It will look like this from the inside:
