HOW TO: Recycle a Tin Can Into a Gorgeous Outdoor Lantern for Summer Parties
All you need to do to get started on this eco-friendly summer craft project is gather the following materials: 2-4 cleaned, empty tin cans (you can use any size)a hammeran assortment of nails (for larger or smaller holes)colorful permanent markerspaper, pencil, masking tape, scissors (if you plan to use a pattern)votive candlesa towel With your newly gathered used tin cans, remove labels, and clean thoroughly. Fill each can with water and freeze overnight until solid. The ice stabilizes the can and prevents it from bending when you punch holes in them later. Decide on a design for your punched-tin decorations. Cradle the frozen tin can in a folded towel (to prevent the can from moving and to catch ice chips). Rinse the can under a hot tap until the ice block pops out and allow the can to dry. If you want to add color to your new punched-tin lantern, you can create a variety of fun, shiny designs by simply using colorful permanent markers.
Melted Crayon Art
Perhaps I should begin this post by introducing you to my mom, also known as Her Ladyship Craftiness…er, Her Royal Craftiness? I’m still working on the title. Regardless, she’s the coolest, most creative and talented woman I know. She can make pretty much anything. At least once during high school, I borrowed a friend’s purse, brought it home to Mom, and she whipped one up just like it for me. Yes, I probably abused the power of being Her Ladyship’s daughter, and I no longer steal my friends’ purses, but the point is: my mom is awesome. If you follow Young House Love, Bower Power, Making a House a Home, or Style by Emily Henderson you know how timely her visit was, as today is the big reveal for the Pinterest Challenge. The supplies were pretty simple: canvas, crayons, and hot glue. The next step was to peel off the paper labels from all 60 crayons. It worked like a charm. What do you think of our masterpiece?

Turn Your T-Shirts Into Tote Bags - Brit & Co. - Style
If you’re still busy spring cleaning, we’re guessing you’ve come across a lot of t-shirts that you can’t quite get rid of but don’t really need. Naturally, it”s time to repurpose! Today we’ll show you a ridiculously easy way to turn your t-shirts into eco-friendly reusable tote bags inspired by similar DIY projects found on Leethal and HonestlyWTF. The greatest thing about this project is that it’s pretty likely you’ve got all the materials at home. Materials: - t-shirt - scissors - safety pin Pick out an old t-shirt, grab some scissors, and a large safety pin. Cut of the sleeve of the t-shirt as if you were making a tank top. Fold the t-shirt in half lengths-wise and use it as a template to cut the other side. Cut off the collar in a U-shape, going about 4-6 inches deep. Make 2 or 3 slits in bottom seam, making sure not to cut through the stitch. Taking the leftover sleeves, trim a couple strips of fabric about 1 inch wide. Scrunch the fabric together to make a circle. Voila!
glowing jar project
Thank you for being here and looking at this old-old tutorial of mine! A lot has changed on this blog lately, why don't you go check it out after you learnt how to make your own jars? For one, the blog is now written in english/hungarian entirely, can't wait to see what you think about other things on from panka with love! Since the above image is one of my 'most famous' photos, I've got a lot of requests on how I made these glowing jars. A fölső kép miatt (ami az egyik legismertebb képem) elég sok kérést kapok, hogy csináljak egy lépésről lépésre segítséget a befőttes üvegeimhez. In general about this project / Általában erről a projectről: I have a lot of mason jars. Rengeteg befőttes üvegem van, kicsik is, nagyok is, de úgy látom, hogy a nagyobbak jobb választásnak tűnnek ehhez a projecthez: azok aztán nagyon szépek és mágikusak lesznek! Ingredients / Hozzávalók: Mason jar / Befőttes üvegGlowing paint / Világító festék (a linket eltávolítottam)Paintbrush / EcsetSome water / Kis víz 1.
Friday Flowers: Ombre Chrysanthemums
I love this project. It's fast, cheap, easy, AND it's fun to say aloud: obmre chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemum is one of my favorite words of all time. I like the way it requires you to scrape your tongue across the back of your teeth to pronounce it properly. And, for another thing, it is one of the few multisyllabic words I enjoy spelling. Ombre is big again this year, so I thought I would incorporate it into a flower project. I was all set to show this to guys last week, but then I decided it was missing something. *Can I just take a sec to point out that I even have a closet that can hold a giant chrysanthemum lantern? What's the difference between the two versions? Coffee filters: $2.00 (tip: I buy packs of 700 coffee filters at Costco $2.50) Required quantity varies. Dye: $4.00 per bottle I used Rit liquid fabric dye because I wanted a rich, vibrant orange and I have found (through much experimentation, I might add) that nothing else produces saturated orange/red colors like this dye.
