Made with love by Agus Y.: Cute Painted Pasta - Pasta decorada I had received so many nice comments about the last two cards (first card, second) using pasta, that I decided to show a bit of what I have been making....I have had a lot of fun painting this pasta bows! I think is one of the things that really push your creativity! (: He recibido muchos lindos comentarios sobre las útlimas dos tarjetas (primera tarjeta, segunda) en las cuales he usado pasta, es por esto que he decido mostrarle un poco lo que he estado haciendo!! I dont know if it is notable in the photo but the one in the middle have glitter is the one that I used in my lastest card. Hope you liked and get some inspiration! I would love to see your! Me encantaría ver los suyos!
Duct tape and Storage bag binder pencil pocket You will need: One gallon sized slider style storage bag Duct tape in desired print or color Plastic cutting mat optional (helps to cut the duct tape) Ruler, marker, scissors Three-hole punch or regular hole punch 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Delicious Chocolate Honey Lip Balm (updated with link to pop art packaging) Beeswax The first time I made this I used an old candle, but for this batch I bought 2 oz from the farmer's market for $1.75 -- definitely get the fresh wax if you can, the difference in flavor is stunning! Cocoa butter This can be found in any pharmacy. I've seen it at Rite Aid, Duane Read, etc, usually near moisturizers. Almond oil You could probably try other types of oil, but I would steer away from ones with heavy smells or flavors like olive oil -- you don't want to dissimulate the honey and chocolate flavor. Vegetable glycerin (OPTIONAL) You can find this in health stores, but I've also seen it in craft stores. Vitamin E This is also an oil, with the thickness of fingernail polish when it's pure. Cocoa Dark unsweetened cocoa will give you the best flavor Honey Any kind is fine.

Ihr braucht: KorkenStreudekoKleber You need: corkdeco-confettyglue Ich konnte es kaum fassen, als mir kürzlich diese kleinen Vögelchen und Herzchen aus Holz begegnet sind. Gibt es Streudeko nicht sonst immer nur in hässlich? I found these wonderful little birds and hearts made of wood. Aren’t they beautiful? Also los geht’s: Here we go: Ein bisschen Kleber auf ein Herz der Streudeko geben… Put some glue on one of the hearts… …Herz auf den Korken drücken. Und Zeit gemessen?

DIY: Swing Shelf So…as you can see this pregger mama has been quite busy with all sorts of DIY projects that will complete the room being shared by kiddo #1 and kiddo #2. This project was quick and easy, plus it turned out really cute and was theme-appropriate for my lil’ surfer boys. I was inspired by the adorable Swing Shelf from Pottery Barn Kids (no longer available…bummer dude!). So, what’s a girl to do? I had to make it!! Here is the Pottery Barn Kids version ($69.00): Here is the Rebecca version ($12.00): Pretty cool, eh? Materials: (1) 27″ x 7″ Prefinished Laminate shelf (Home Depot) (2) Small Drawer Pulls (8) Drywall anchors and screws Jute Rope – cut to preferred length Drill, Hammer, Screw Driver, Level Drill four holes—one in each corner, offset approximately 1 inch. Measure the distance between the drilled holes on the shelf, and mark that distance on the wall once you decide on the height of your shelf. Feed the rope through the holes in the shelf closest to the wall and knot.
shoji-style table lamp I bought an A3 sheet of tracing paper (90g/m2) and cut it into quarters. (It would be easier to get 4 sheets of A4, of course!) I had way more chopsticks than I can ever use, including 20-odd cheap square bamboo ones, and they seemed like an easy way to make the frames (in my local Asian supermarket you can get a pack of 20 of these for under 2 euros). I sanded off the pattern that was stamped on, and cut down 8 of them to the width of each sheet of paper. (Ideally I would have split them in half lengthwise but couldn't think how to do this easily) Then I applied a very thin layer of wood glue along one side of the chopsticks and stuck them to the paper, lining up the outside edge of the chopstick with the outside edge of the paper. Glue along the sides of each the front and back panels, on the back of the paper, and fit the 4 panels together to make a cube - well, one without a top or bottom (see diagram for how I fit them together).
Tiny Pumpkin Pie My family’s Thanksgiving meal always features a magnificently high homemade pie-to-person ratio. I love the warm wafting scent of spices, pumpkin, and expertly rolled-out crusts emanating from a hot oven, and that anticipation of dessert after any already delicious dinner spent with friends and family feasting. Is your belly rumbling already too? For this week’s How-Tuesday post, Jessica Partain from Inedible Jewelry, a shop dedicated to mouth-wateringly realistic faux food jewelry, and author of The Polymer Clay Cookbook, has shared with us a tutorial on making miniature polymer clay pumpkin pie charms that actually smell like pumpkin pie. Thanksgiving just wouldn’t be complete without pumpkin pie! Purchase The Polymer Clay Cookbook right here on Etsy. Materials: For the crust: 3/8″ (9.5 mm) ball ecru clay 3/16″ (4.7 mm) ball ecru clay For the filling: 5/8″ (15.9 mm) ball orange clay For the whipped cream: 3/8″ (9.5 mm) ball white clay Directions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

Make Your Own Paper Gift Box 1K+ I came across this felt gift box tutorial at Curbly the other day, and I knew I wanted to try making some with card stock. (Beware, tomorrow I will be sharing a very silly and fun version of these that I made) I think that you can make this entire gift box in less than a minute. Go to Curbly and print the free template onto a piece of 8.5 by 11 Card Stock . That's it. How to Make Leaf Skeletons I wanted to share with you a project from one of my readers who shares with us how to make leaf skeletons. I LOVE this! I have several leafs in various forms displayed in my home and knew I needed to make some of her leaf skeletons to add to my decor. I love how a pattern of leaves can enhance the beauty in your home. I have spent hours and tried various ways of making these. You need washing soda, not baking soda! Gather your leaves. Washing soda is a strong base so you may want to wear gloves when handling the leaves. You will add 3/4 cup of washing soda and 4 cups of water to your pot of leaves. Keep going, you will need to add more water so your pan doesn’t dry out. When 1.75 hours are up fill a glass baking dish with cool water. I carefully removed them and rinsed with water and added clean water to the pan. If you’re still with me, this is what I ended up with… I have a maple leaf which turned out not so well. 37.1Kstumbleupon

DIY Roman Shades & It always feels great when you have your mind set on how you want something to look and then it all comes together. This is exactly what has happened with my entry way/porch area.

Once that was done and the porch was all cleared out I knew I had to make it something that was worth having. Waverly Chippendale Fretw Quartz Premier Prints Gotcha White/Candy Pink Waverly Cross Section Raspberry I knew I wanted a geometric pattern so that almost immediately eliminated the second fabric (Waverly Chippendale) and I wasn’t too sure about that first print because of the whole papaya part.
