Les lettres scintillantes de Paper Cup On en a vu beaucoup, sur internet, de ces grandes lettres scintillantes. Mais celles-ci, que nous propose aujourd’hui la talentueuse Minhee de Paper Cup (dont on vous a déjà parlé plusieurs fois) ont un petit quelque chose en plus : elles sont faciles à réaliser. Les feuilles de polystyrène sont très simples à découper, aussi, vous pouvez-même vous lancer, avec ce principe, dans la confection de très grandes lettres, ou de projets plus complexes comme la fabrication d’une phrase complète. Pour réaliser la guirlande pailletée, vous avez besoin de…- Peinture en spray dorée- Ruban fin en satin noir (ou une autre couleur de votre choix!) Etape 1 – Des lettres en orDécoupez les lettres et attachez les avec les punaises sur les feuilles en polystyrène. Etape 2 – Le cœur des fleursDécoupez le papier crépon sur 15x5cm, puis prenez le fil de fer et enroulez-le en partant d’une extrémité. Merci Minhee pour cette brillante idée!
crafty decorating: painted cork-tile pinboard « the happy home Triangles and polka dots I gave some hints last week about 'something' I whipped together for the birthday girl. Since she's officially ten now, and all the presents were unwrapped and all ten candles were blown out last night (the cake we still have plenty off, but that's a story for later), I can finally show you some pictures. As some of you already guessed, I made a flag garland. I used whichever fabric I had available from my failing bag business. Now, if you want to try this, all you need is fabric in a couple of different prints and/or colors, cut to triangles (I used the same size triangle for all flags, but you could vary sizes if you like, or even combine different shapes), some biais tape and thread. For the polka dot garland, just hop over here to find a short description. Wishing you a good week! xo, P.
lemontreecreations.blogspot.com/2011/05/doormat-wall-art.html I made these awesome wall hangings last year and they are one of the few decorations in my house that I have never gotten sick of or moved around. I saw the idea in Lowes Creative Solutions and obsessed over it until I could make them for myself. I shared them on my family blog at the time, but I've received so many compliments on them recently that I thought I'd share them here as well. I started off with a few pieces of poplar board, 1 inch x 12 inches x 6 feet. I sanded and stained the boards a dark walnut color, lined the edges with painters tape, and covered the boards with this doormat that I picked up from Lowes. I then spray painted 4 light coats of Valspar's Ivory through the doormat - 2 straight down on the mat and 2 from different angles to try to fill in all of the gaps. I allowed the paint to dry for about 30 minutes after the last coat, and when I pulled the mat off I literally squealed with delight. I'll be linking to these parties this week, so stop by to say hi!!
DIY Tutorials Tutorial: How To Attach Fringe January 24, 2014 Last week I posted a tutorial on how to quickly make a lot of fringe at once and now I’m going to show you how I attach fringe! All you need is a crochet hook. Insert your hook into the space where you want to put the fringe as shown above. Next, fold your piece(s) of fringe in half and put the middle part on the hook. Put the ends of your fringe piece(s) through the loop and pull tight! Tutorial: How To Quickly Make A Lot Of Fringe At Once! January 14, 2014 Sometimes crochet projects require a lot of fringe and it can be really time consuming to cut each piece individually, so here is an easy way to cut a lot of fringe at once! Wrap your yarn around and around that piece of cardboard! When you have enough wraps on there (one wrap = one piece of fringe), cut the end of the yarn and then cut the yarn along the bottom edge of the cardboard. Easy peasy!

Letter Art « 346 Living 6 Jun Hi All! Hope your Monday is going well. We all know the zinc letters at Anthropologie, right? Well they’re totally cute but at $18 a pop, that just won’t do. I decided to DIY them by using paper mache letters I got at Joann Fabrics. I sprayed it pretty heavy so I could get that blotchy uneven look. And here they are hung up in the kitchen! Ok next up! We used these two colors, first he sprayed the top coat in the lighter gold and then lightly sprayed some of the darker gold over it. Here they are on top of our mantel, I’m obsessed. I love how using two colors made them look a bit more aged and not so perfect. This project was so easy and fun, I seriously want to keep going but can’t think of anything else cute to write. I’m definitely going to do this in the babies room. Like this: Like Loading...
Crayon Roll I have been looking for a crayon roll/holder tutorial but can’t seem to find one. I have found plenty of these little holders for sale but no directions. So here is my version. And if anyone finds/has other instructions, let me know and we can link them. **These instructions were created for my daughter’s long erasable crayons that are almost twice as long as a standard crayon. You’ll Need: 2 pieces of fabric – 14 x 21 and 8 x 21 (inches)1 piece of ribbon – 20 inches long, give or take.Matching thread **All seams are to be made at 1/2 inch. First, cut out your pieces of fabric… And then fold them in half, lengthwise. Then on the smaller piece of fabric, make a seam right along the fold, close to the edge. Then open up the larger piece of fabric and lay the smaller one on top, matching the two raw edges of the smaller one with the one raw edge of the bigger piece. Sew along all 3 sides (not the fold) leaving a 4 inch gap at the bottom, so that you can turn it right side out. Related posts:
DIY Tuesday: Rustic Pencil Holder I don't know about you, but I've seen a lot of rustic accessories and tableware popping up all over design blogs lately. The wood cake stand is one of my favorites, and I'm hoping to be able to make one soon so I can share the DIY with you!I love the idea of bringing the outdoors in through rustic or organic design elements. Which is why I was thrilled when my husband made me this wooden pencil holder. The piece of wood is one that his friend found by a river bank. My husband just added a few holes to it, sanded down the edges, and made it into a functional decorative piece for my art room. Click below to get the tutorial...it's super simple! Rustic Pencil HolderMaterials & Tools Needed Hand saw Small slice of wood either from a large branch or tree base (mine is a piece of poplar about 6" in diameter) Drill (with a drill bit size of about 7/16") Sand paper Step 1.

The Easiest Pillow Cover Ever This is the easiest pillow cover ever. No measuring! No sewing! Just fold and tie. You need a piece of fabric 3 times as wide plus a few more inches and twice as tall plus a few more inches as the pillow. Place the pillow in the center, on the wrong side of the fabric. I used pinking shears to cut the fabric so it wouldn’t fray. Then fold the top down to the center. Fold both ends like the picture. Bring one side over the top of the pillow. Then the other side. Now tie the ends in a square knot. Ta-Da! I love the knot. And it looks great on the loveseat. It even looks great on the back if I want to switch sides. I’m linking to these awesome blog parties:
