"Dew" It Yourself Jewelry Stand Given that title and my penchant for puns, I'm guessing it will take you guys exactly 3.7 seconds to guess what my new jewelry stand is made from: Aw, you only needed two seconds, didn't you? I knew it. Yep, this pretty green number is made from four plastic Mountain Dew bottles and exactly $3.72 worth of materials from the hardware store. First, collect your bottles. If you happen to have a Diet 'Dew addict for a spouse like me, this will take less than three days. I found it easiest to cut the bottoms off my bottles with a strong utility knife, and then trim them down further with scissors. Other than the bottles you will need: One 12-inch length of threaded rod (no cutting necessary; they come this size in the hardware store) and one baggy each of a coordinating size nuts and washers. Drill holes that are the same size as your threaded rod in the center of each tray: Cut as far down into the plastic as you can with scissors, and then use a Dremel to smooth the jagged bottom edge.

How to cut glass I posted a picture about 1 week ago on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter of me cutting glass using just string. I got LOT’S of requests for a tutorial on how I DID THIS! So here it is. FINALLY! I want to warn you. It’s best to triple your yarn because it will burn longer! Soak it GOOD! I like to tie my yarn where I want my glass to “cut” then quickly pour polish remover over the string again. Get a big bowl with ice and water ready. VERY IMPORTANT! Slowly turn your bottle. You can’t let the flame go OUT then dunk it in the ice water. YAY!!! I reallly hope you enjoyed this tutorial because I had ALOT of requests for it! © Copyright jaderbombllc, All rights Reserved.

Twelve Weeks of Christmas: Vinyl Record Bowl ADDENDUM | The Ginger Penny Pincher (This is not to serve as this week’s installment of the Twelve Weeks of Christmas series. Expect that later this week!) Due to the surprisingly enthusiastic response to the vinyl record bowl tutorial , I started racking my brain for more ways to re-invent these tired turntable treasures (I hope you appreciated that, alliteration lovers). I started doing the Google image search thing — of which I have attained expert level — and found a few ideas, some of which I wanted to share with you, especially because I know so many of you told me you planned on making these for Christmas presents! Well, here are a few more ideas: Paint them! Here is a before and after of my own personal vinyl record bowl with a coat of Tiffany Blue spray paint: Everyone say “ahhh…….” Here’s the process slowed down: Just the bottom Here's a bird's eye view And one more time…. BEFORE: Perfectly fine for some... AFTER: Vinyl Record Bowl 2.0, the Tiffany Blue Edition I’m a fan of the upgrade. Oooh.. pretty.

Paper Flowers - Anyone Can Do That | FindInspirations.com Japanese Kusudama, this tutorial is featured on Craftuts Anyone can do that, I assure you. The proof: I can, just take a quick look at my result below. Below you can see my very first attempt to create paper flowers. What you will need to make your own Kusudama paper ball? 1. 3. 4. (optionally) I prefer torn paper instead of cut. You have to start with a single petal. Now you have to glue your 5 petals into a flower. Apply the glue to only one side of each petal, except for the last one, in this case cover both sides with glue. Your first flower is done. Don’t glue every petal right after you make it. When all 12 flowers are finished you have to glue them together. When two halves of Kusudama Flower Ball are ready you have to glue them together.

A Bit Of This and A Bit Of That: New Skills Festival - Record Tray Pedestal with Nikki I was a bit nervous about asking Nikki from WhiMSy love to join the festival, I have been reading her blog for what feels like forever and is a bit of a crafty rock star, I am so glad I did ask though as she came up with a super cute idea using records.... Hi there, crafters! This is Nikki, of the blog WhiMSy love. I'm the mommy to 2 super kidlets, the wife to a pastor, & we all reside in small-town Nebraska. I'm a crafter, blogger, newspaper columnist, jumper extraordinaire, & photographer. Today I'll be showing you how to make these Record Tray Pedestals. For this project you'll need large records, various glass/ceramic items such as candleholders, vases, bowls, etc. The first thing you'll want to do is melt your record into a "tray" shape. Keep an eye on your record. Once it starts to go limp, it's time to remove it from the oven! Have ready: oven mitts & a square dish. I love my vintage pyrex! Now, remove the record with the oven mitts & place it inside the square dish.
