I had been trying to recreate a pouch that Casey had and it took a few tries but I got it! It's so simple, it blows my mind. If this is your first time sewing something, it may not be as exciting for you but, I will try to explain it as best I can! First off, you will need: - Felt (Just a standard 9"x12" piece that you can purchase at a craft store) - A piece of fabric cut to the same size - 14" Zipper - Bias tape - Thread - Pins - Scissors - Sewing Machine Lay your fabric down face up. Sew it all together along the edge. Fold the fabrics down and iron the edge down exposing the zipper. Sew along the edge to keep the edges from getting stuck in the zipper. Fold the fabric on top of it self and line the opposite edge up with the other side of the zipper. Sew along the edge. Unzip the zipper so you can iron the edges again around the zipper. Zip up the zipper and turn everything inside out. From the side it should look like this.

Kusudama Tutorial part 1 The Japanese kusudama is a paper ball made out of multiple identical origami shapes glued together. They were traditionally used as a ball for incense or potpourri but now we see them more for decoration or as a gift. Today I am showing you part 1 on how to make the Japanese traditional shape. What you need for this tutorial is: 60 pieces of paper cut into squares. Below I will show you how to make the basic shape, you need to make 60 of these. Fold the bottom corner to the top. Fold the left and right corners up to the middle corner. Fold the same points down. Open up the flaps you have just created and flatten them. Fold the top triangles towards you so they are level with the edges of the paper. Fold the triangles back using the crease you made earlier and glue the outside triangles together. Now make 5 more of these petals and glue them all together. We would love to see what you made using this tutorial so please post a pic to the Folding Trees Flickr group – it’s open to everybody.

A Rainbow of Options Last week I shared a sneak peek of some eggs I'd dyed using all-natural ingredients. This project came about when the television show, The Doctors contacted me to see if I would be interested in coming on their program to share ideas for natural dyes! I was honored and STOKED that they had reached out. And even though my segment was cut way, way down (so far down that I'm not even in the segment- it's really just a cameo of my eggs...) A lot of natural dyes take quite a bit longer to set than chemical-based commercial dyes. When the eggs were cooked, and I was confident that the color had begun to release from the dyeing agent I was using, I would remove the egg(s) from the saucer, and pour the hot liquid into a glass mason jar. If I had not been using my trusty Sharpie and roll o' masking tape to label these jars, I would have had no idea how I'd made each color... I let the jars cool on the counter, and then placed them ALL in the bottom shelf of our refrigerator overnight.
DIY Heart Friendship Bracelet As the month of love approaches, we thought we’d combine friendship and hearts into one Valentine’s Day themed tutorial: a heart patterned friendship bracelet! Using some candy-colored embroidery floss and your familiarity with the chevron friendship bracelet, you’ll be able to whip up one of these tokens of love in a heartbeat. You’ll need:2 colors of embroidery flossscissorstape or clipboard Creating a heart pattern involves just a simple modification to the chevron patterned friendship bracelet. Separate the threads into 2 sets, 2 of each color on each side. Start on the left side with the outermost strand (shown here in red) and make a forward knot by creating a 4-shape over the 2nd strand (shown here in blue), loop it under and back through the opening. Pull up and to the right to tighten. Continue knotting over each color, towards the right, until the outermost color has carried over to the middle. Continue knotting towards the left until the outermost strand reaches the middle.
