Nicole Mallalieu Design - Tips and Tutorials for Making Bags and Purses Tips & Tutorials Back to top VIDEO TUTORIAL - How to set in eyelets with a setting tool VIDEO TUTORIAL - Simple method for inserting purse feet. VIDEO TUTORIAL - How to Use a Clover Quick Yo Yo Maker This is an absolute must-read for anyone embarking on bag-making! ALWAYS use interfacing on any bag piece where the pattern reads "cut [specified number] i/f". Interfacing creates structure if it is used on the body of the bag - but is entirely optional here, and using it depends on the weight of the fabric and the finished look that you require. By fusing interfacing to every piece of the outside of the bag you'll add a lot more structure and "OOMPH" to the fabric. You can interface the lining if you want a stiff lining, but it shouldn't be the main support in the bag. It's important to remember that by adding an extra layer of interfacing to a bag piece, you are also increasing the bulk of the fabric.

33 Meticulous Cleaning Tricks For The OCD Person Inside You - BuzzFeed Mobile How to make Plush Velvet Pumpkins Who else has a major crush on those Plush Velvet Pumpkins floating around blogland? Me Me Me! I had this in my head since last year, and was finally able to make my own Plush Velvet Pumpkins this weekend. I couldn’t believe how easy they were to make, once I had all the supplies. Supplies needed: Velvet fabric (I found mine on eBay for cheap) scissors thread needle pen ~also *shown below* *vines or stems from real pumpkins *glue sticks & glue gun *stuffing *beans *Lay your fabric out & draw with your pen various size circles. Now thread your needle & watch this video. I’m not a video pro, so be kind. Now it’s time to stuff your pumpkins. Yep, I used pinto beans & stuffing. Now for the glue. You will need a very small amount of glue. Let me stop right here & say getting these stems are probably the hardest part of the supplies needed for these pumpkins. Just kidding. And when you’re done with the glue, you’ll probably have to play around with your fabric some so the pleats will look even.
Tips and Tricks for Choosing the Perfect Paint Color Source: South Shore Decorating Benjamin Moore Coventry Gray Wall color Benjamin Moore Wicker Hi friends and welcome to another Friday Favorites! I have been wanting to write this post for such a long time but for some reason, I haven’t done it until now. There are some really easy tricks to zoning in on the perfect paint color quickly {and painlessly}, making it easier to identify and narrow down perfect paint colors for a space. Sherwin Williams Sea Salt So I thought I would share these tips & tricks and the “elimination” process that I use for choosing a paint color. Source: Decor Pad Benjamin Moore Abalone Sherwin Williams Gibralter So let’s get to the tips and steps to nailing the perfect paint color! Step #1) Changing the Focus/Process of Elimination One of the main elements that has really helped me more than anything is that instead of focusing on the various shades of a color that I like, I change my focus to eliminating what I don’t like about a color.

Take the Side Street: Mercury Glass - a side by side paint comparison Hi, friends! I wanted to briefly address something I've had quite a few emails and comments about: the necessity of the Krylon Looking Glass spray paint in my faux mercury glass technique. It's pretty darn necessary. To illustrate this we'll have a head-to-head battle of reflective fabulosity between my current paint boyfriend, Krylon Looking Glass paint... ...and a much less expensive spray paint with a lid that's equally as shiny, Krylon Original Chrome: Ahem. My thoughts: MEH. Exhibit B, the same chrome paint sprayed on the outside of the glass (cup!)... My thoughts: Much better, definitely has some chrome-y shine to it, but no reflective qualities. Exhibit C, the Looking Glass paint (left) along side the chrome paint on the outside of the cup (right). My thoughts: Um, hello gorgeous! In closing, here's a photo of the faux mercury glass using the chrome paint: And a photo of the technique using Looking Glass paint: Wondering where to find the Looking Glass paint?
New Year, New Organization It’s not a resolution per say, but with all the organization buzz this month I decided to try and really improve my HMS. That’s Household Management System. Using an acronym makes me feel important, try to go with it. After extensive research, my kitchen command center was born. Since the kitchen is where papers pile up and where people tend to congregate, the counter was the perfect place. The command center consists of a pretty pink notebook for me (more on that in a bit), a file folder box, hanging folders, a calendar, and a pen/pencil cup. Each one of us has our own folder, plus there is one for new unsorted mail. In my notebook, I have a daily task and a weekly task sheet. I downloaded these from Simple Mom, she has tons of useful forms here. Part of my organization goals includes meal planning 2 weeks at a time. The weekly task checklist helps me keep track of household chores. What about you guys? *******Linked Up********

operation organization: 7 Habits of Highly Organized People I would not say I was born naturally organized. I've more often identified myself as a more right-brained creative type. However, I've always enjoyed the pursuits and observed the positive effects of organization since childhood. I have found that maintaining a truly consistent organized lifestyle takes a lot of intentional effort, discipline, and practice to achieve. Beginning my own family has probably afforded me the greatest opportunity to observe a few of the biggest benefits of managing a simplified and organized home and life: To find things when I need them {quickly}.To feel as though I'm being a good steward with my time. As I've grown in my knowledge and understanding of organization through real life experience, and intentional education over the years, I've observed there are a few habits that have helped me maintain an organized lifestyle: 1. FREE your mind. 2. Clutter is magnetic. 3. Eliminate the idea of a "junk drawer" where random items are tossed. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Garden Balls So when I was at my mom’s house a while back, the kids and I decided to to a project for Nana. My mom loves to garden, so we thought a garden project would be perfect for her. At Michael’s craft store I got some Styrofoam balls, grout, glue, stones, and various sized flat backed glass pieces. Next we filled in all the blank spots with stones, we tried to use only flat stones, or we would squish any high points into the Styrofoam ball if needed. After waiting 24 hours we grouted the balls with black grout made from a powdered mix, we made it rather thick so that it really stayed in place in the whole ball and just rubbed it in with our hands. I thought my Mom would hide the balls amongst her plants, but instead she stuck them front and center by her front door. The biggest ball was the one I made, and the other 2 are the kids. The grout makes them waterproof, so they will last just fine in the elements, and they are fairly light weight since they have a foam core!
How to Build Kitchen Sink Storage Trays - Step by Step Getting the right stuff 1 of 1 Figure A: Sink cabinet tray detail Sink cabinet tray detail See the Materials & Cutting Lists in the Additional Information section below for measurements Have you finally had it with that dark and dingy, I'm-not-sure-what's-there storage space under the kitchen sink? This project isn't difficult. In this article, we'll show you how to measure your sink base and custom-size and assemble the wood trays. Before you get the materials, scan this article and see if you can build all the trays or only a few of them. In the hardware department, look for ball-bearing side-mount drawer glides. Then follow the photos for the step-by-step measuring and assembly instructions. If the opening between the open doors is narrower than the opening between the sides of the frame, use the shorter dimension to make the base. Measure the cabinet opening to construct the base for the lower pull-out trays Photo 1: Measure your cabinet opening Photo 2: Use a framing square for accuracy
Giant Picture - tutorial! I posted awhile an image that showed off the giant picture I made for my girls’ room – finally, the tutorial is here!
