Dish Towel Bunny February 12th, 2013 posted by Crafter's Community Materials: 1 dish towel 2 washcloths Ribbon If you make this project we’d love to see it! What you do Lay the dishtowel on the table with the wrong side up. Tie with a piece of ribbon as close to the dishtowel as you can (tie a bow with the ribbon) (Fig. 4). Slide the “arms” in between the back and front of the dishtowel up to the “neck”. Bring the “hands” to the front and tie at the “wrists” with another bow (Fig. 8).

How to Eat Like Your Favorite Musicians We were rather fascinated to see the recipe for Freddie Mercury’s favorite chicken dhansak turn up on the internet recently, courtesy of his onetime personal assistant, who published the secret behind the dish at the late singer’s official website. We’re not surprised to discover that Mercury was a good cook, nor that his favorite recipe draws on his Parsi heritage — and anyway, the whole thing got us thinking about what some of our other favorite musicians might eat. Cooking is an extension of creativity, after all, and as it turns out, there’s a heap of good recipes to be found online, courtesy of musicians whose work we admire as much as their culinary skills. Freddie Mercury: Chicken dhansak Your correspondent loves Indian cooking (if you’re similarly inclined, by the way, we highly recommend Pushpesh Pant’s epic India cookbook), and as such, this is definitely going to get a whirl in the Flavorpill kitchen at some point. Remove from the saucepan and keep in a warm place.
Hamper Made a laundry hamper for Emily's room this week. I've seen these everywhere, except they're big - and I wanted a smallish one for a specific corner of her room, and I was very, very tired of our plastic Walmart laundry baskets, so I got out my tools and sewing machine and made one. If you've never seen these before, they're very nifty things because they are roomy enough for lots of laundry but they can fold up (even with laundry inside) and be toted around. The fabric bag is buttoned on at the top and strapped down underneath so you can remove the bag completely and toss that in the wash, too. The wooden X-frame is such an easy and useful basic structure for so many projects - apart from this laundry hamper, you can also use it for camp chairs, camp beds, tents and so many other things. This is what I used: First, drill all the holes according to the plan: Click HERE to download the plan. Important: All dimensions of the fabric bag, including the straps, are the FINISHED dimensions i.e.

Cookie Cutter Candles CapeWinter hoodie Coat in GREEN winter double breasted by FM908 Homemade "Vicks Vapor shower disks" Have you seen the commercials for the Vicks Vapor shower disk thingies? You put one of these disks in your shower, and voila thanks to the vapors in it, you're magically healed, your cold is gone, and your face is shockingly free of snot. I always used to watch the "Noxema girl" splashing water on her face and wondered how she was able to wash her face without being completely overrun with boogers. Regardless, Vicks makes these things and I'm sure they're super expensive for something that is just going to wash down your drain. You know where I'm going with this, right? Yep. I made them myself. The idea started a few weeks ago when my sweet little nephew Parker came down with Croup for like the 1,438th time. And they couldn't be any simpler. Sarah's Homemade Vicks Shower Disk Thingies -Baking soda -Water -Essential oils: eucalyptus, rosemary, and lavender. 1) Add baking soda to a mixing bowl. 2) Slowly add water until you've made a thick paste. 3) Add 15 drops of each essential oil.
New Life To An Old Bag With Charms There is nothing more fun for me to take something old and a bit ‘off and give it new life. Today was the turn of this little straw bag. To renew it I thought of adding a row of hearts made and decorated with polymer clay. Non c’è cosa più divertente per me che prendere qualcosa di vecchio e un po’ spento e dargli nuova vita. Here’s what you need: an old bag and polymer clay in the colors that you prefer. Ecco cosa vi serve: una vecchia borsa e del fimo nei colori che preferite. Once you’ve softened your polymer clay hang up to have a thin layer. Una volta ammorbidito il fimo stendetelo fino ad avere uno strato sottile. Decorate the hearts according to your tastes, I chose blue and yellow to do not make them too excessive but brighter colors would have been beautiful too. Decorate i cuori secondo i vostri gusti, io ho scelto il blu e giallo per non farla troppo eccessiva ma anche dei colori più accesi sarebbe stati bellissimi. You may also like:
Healthy FroYo Pops I've been on an oat and chia seed kick lately. If you're familiar with my Refrigerator Oatmeal and Oatmeal Smoothies, you already know that. Today, I'm completing the trifecta with frozen yogurt pops that have the same oat/chia combo I used in my smoothies.

$5 Mobile Phone Projector The folks at Photojojo just posted a neat low-tech tutorial on how to make a projector for your mobile phone using a shoebox, a paperclip, and a magnifying glass. MacGyver would be proud. They were able to find the magnifying glass at a dollar store for, well, a dollar (so they called it the $1 projector), but let’s just call it $5 before people get up in arms because they can’t find that screaming deal. Basically, you start by cutting a hole out of one side of the shoebox to match your magnifying glass and taping the glass on the box. Then you make an iPhone holder from a paperclip, flip the screen display on your phone (to account for how images passed through a lens get flipped), position your phone inside the box (playing with placement until you get the clearest image), put the box top back on, turn the room lights down low and the brightness on your phone up high, and revel in your resourcefulness.

DIY - Plexiglass Bag I’ve always loved the plexiglass bags, even when anyone liked it, maybe that’s why I have always collected boxes of this material, of every size and shape, waiting for inspiration to transform them into something else Ho sempre adorato le borse di plexiglass, anche quando non piacevano a nessuno, sarà per questo che colleziono scatole di questo materiale da sempre, di ogni dimensione e forma, aspettando l’ispirazione per trasformarle in qualcosa di diverso The project is very very colorful, and the great thing is that you can use the colors you prefer, perhaps to be combined with a pair of shoes that you have or a dress. Today we use nail polishes! Il progetto di oggi è molto molto colorato, e la cosa bella è che potete usare i colori che preferite, magari per abbinarli ad un paio di scarpe che avete o ad un vestito. To give the bag a final touch I used an old belt very thin, I cut it, I glued in back of the box, leaving the buckle in the front. You may also like:
DIY FLOWER HEADDRESS TUTORIAL Hi guys! This is how you can make your own flower headdress like the one I wore in my last outfit post! I learned how to do this on Renaissance Day in 7th grade but mine fell apart over the years. This project is quick and easy and the combinations are limitless. Plus, they make great accessories for the springtime and would be adorable gifts to give your friends because you could even personalize it to their favorite flowers and colors. :) You will need floral wire, floral tape (preferably the rubbery kind, not the paper based kind), and pliers. You will also need an assortment of fake flowers; try buying them in various sizes, as well as buying some leaves to add variety. To begin, measure the wire around your head loosely and add a couple inches to it. Now twist the length of the wire around itself, it doesn't need to be perfect-- it just needs to stay together as one piece. Re-fit the wire around your head snugly, then add 2 inches (more if you prefer your headdress to be looser).
