Put Up Your Dukes: double braided scarf tutorial as promised...today i give you the tutorial for the double braid version of my braided scarf. the single braid tutorial that has gotten so much awesome feedback and love (sew, mama, sew! and prudent baby featured it in their round ups! holy SQUEEEE!) to get this look for your scarf you will follow the single braid tutorial up through step 3. that is where we pick up. we are basically just adding an extra knot (that we manually create by twisting rather that using the pull-through tie method like with the first braid) instead of the color-blocked closure on the other side. but this second knot is extra tricky because you have less length to work with and you have to kind of ghetto-make the knot. here's how we break it down. this version is much more confusing to explain and photograph (especially since i used the exact same color combo as the single braid...whoops), so bear with me. i am adding notes underneath for the steps that arent self-explanatory. i could give seminars.

Recycle Tutorial - Making Of T-Shirt Yarn Another tutorial to help save our Mother Earth by turning unwanted items into something useful. This is the yarn ball I made out of an old T-shirt which I have been wearing for 10 years day-in day-out, wash-in wash-out. It finally broke down and tore at the collar and sleeves. Waste not, want not, I decided to recycle it. I have finished making the drawstring bag as shown above.

Tutorials for Recycling T-Shirts So way way back, in June, I wrote this Studio Organization post, about starting the process of organizing my studio by cleaning out the closet full of junk. Well, it's September and...let's just say the closet is a work in progress. Some of the things that are taking up space in the closet are shirts that I never wear anymore. I realized I could repurpose them into something else! Here are some tutorials for recycling shirts: Check out these t-shirt scarves! Create cute little bows for accessories or packaging with this tutorial. Gorgeous ruffled pillow tutorial here. Looks like I have a lot of projects ahead of me to keep me from cleaning out my closet!
CUTECIRCUIT | How to Make a Skirt in 30 Seconds! Posted at 13:25h in News by CUTECIRCUIT We arrived at Campus-Party in Valencia, Spain to show Hug Shirts in a performance/demo in the afternoon but we soon learned that we were also scheduled for a big press conference starting almost immediately! The mannequins were already in place and quickly we put the Hug Shirts on them. With only a few minutes to go until the press arrived, we realized that mannequins wearing only shirts look a little… well, naked! However, in a moment of inspiration Francesca asks our hosts, “Do you have some extra CampusParty t-shirts?” Literally within seconds she transformed the cool black t-shirts into really stylish looking skirts for the mannequins. So, since really cool and affordable t-shirts are popping up every where these days (and really cool, affordable skirts are not), we thought you’d also be interested in how to make this kind of instant skirt! Thanks to all the folks at CampusParty for hosting a very unique and enjoyable event!
Knitting spools THE LOST ART OF KNITTING NANCYS Pictures and instructions on how to make and use them (Viewed best in Internet Explorer. Some other browsrs may not be able to open the image files. Click on main site to browse 70 other topics ranging from exotic kaleidoscope designs to the strange world of lucid dreaming. Whether you call them Knitting Nancys, Bizzy Lizzys, knitting mushrooms, knitting spools, corkers, peg knitters, knitting nobbys (or knitting noddys) or knitting knobbys, these knitting devices all owe their existence to the medieval lucet. It's used by threading yarn through the hole then in a figure eight around the prongs. Knitting Nancys are four-prong variants of the lucet. Versions like the one pictured above used to be made out of wooden thread spools, something difficult to do in these modern times since thread spools are now plastic. Yarn is fed down through the hole and left to hang. Repeat the process of carrying a loop over a nail 400 times and you'll have a foot of braid.

V and Co how to: jersey knit bracelet i don't know what it is about this time of year that makes me just want to have my bare feet in the sand, be watching the sun setting into the ocean, and breathing in the warm salty air of the beach...as i get older, more and more i find myself missing that place i used to go to almost every.single.day. as a teen. (my skin doesn't miss it. as a matter of fact, i now wish i listened more and DID put SPF on my face...hindsight is 20/20). my mom calls me from her walk on the beach almost every morning...*sigh*yeah, i get a little homesick around this time of the year. heck on my pinterest my "dreaming of summer" has the most pictures in it. ah yes. i miss my ocean. case in point. this bracelet, brought a flood of memories, not because i used to have one like it but because i can totally see me wearing it by the beach, not caring that it's gotten salty and wet, because i can totally make another one in like less than 5 minutes flat when i get home. *sigh* okay... *cut off excess tails!
The Burlap Bag - High Quality Handmade Goods Shop - Austin Texas January 27, 2012 by Lauren These spice shakers are so easy. Josiah wasn't that into it when I asked him to do this project for me.... but by the end of it he was so pumped! He said it was lots of fun and they look so cool. These "shaker" "pourer" things can be used for just about anything! You will need: -huge container of salt that has the metal spout -mason jar (we used these) -something sharp -something to put inside! Yeah, that’s it. First, tear off the top of the salt container. Now trace around your mason jar onto the white lid. Now cut around your tracing. Then get your mason jar ring and put the paper under it. And voila! Ok. So, with spices, here are some examples: Salt! Chili Powder And oregano. And now you have a lovely handmade spice shaker thing.
