Mod Podge Photo Tile Transfers After reading several blogs about photo transfers with Mod Podge, I was committed. The only problem was I didn’t have any random wood or canvas, and I try my hardest to not buy anything unless I absolutely have to have it. I did have some tile magnets on my fridge that could be much cuter, and there I had it! Want to make your own? Here’s how: Supplies:Mod Podge Paint brush or spongePicture printed off a laser jet printer, or a photo copy of a picture, cut to size Tile, or wood or canvas Spray bottle or squirt gun, or something that can spray small amounts of water Patience!!!! 2. 3. If the picture starts tearing, stop and let it dry. 5. My tile of C has white fabric Mod Podged on first, then the image was Mod Podged on, and dried. This magnet had paper already Mod Podged on it, and I just layered this picture on top for sake of time and sanity, which is why it has a terraced look.
TUTORIAL - Alterations to the FREE Buttercup Bag Pattern A few of us Craftsters have made the free Buttercup Bag Pattern from here: I made a bag with quite a few alterations to it, including enlarging the pattern to 125% on the photocopier. Here's the link to the one I made: The alterations I made were: Firstly - enlarged to 125%Added a mobile phone pocket instead of a flat pocketAdded a zipperLengthened the strap to 24"Interfaced the outer topA couple of words of advice. OK. Then cut your pieces for the bag. Then you need to add the side bits to the zipper, like this: Then you need to cut the whole piece to 1 3/4" wide x length of outer upper piece, centering the zipper, like this: Now you need to sandwich the zipper between the lining bottom and top, like so: Repeat for the other side. Then sew the lining together. Make sure you leave an opening in the lining to turn right sides out: OK. Turn right sides out.
DIY Picture Tiles - You Will Never Buy a Photo Frame Again Lately I’ve been having this huge urge to decorate the house. This is big news. I do not decorate. Arguably, one of the reasons why is because I. absolutely. hate. to. buy. mass. produced. decor. Anyway, this extends to photo frames. Nope. Long story short, I discovered this method of transferring my photos cheaply, quickly, and beautifully to something uncommon and unique. Tiles. The only thing that’s not particularly crunchy about this is that it uses Modge Podge or similar (and I’m not sure what’s in Modge Podge). It’s just grainy and doesn’t dry clearly. Boo. BUT, if you can overlook that one minor issue, I think you’ll love this. And it will be glorious. Here’s how you do it. First, you need to go to Home Depot, Lowes, or something like it. (FYI, I found that Lowes prices on tiles were cheaper than Home Depot. I like the stone tiles, because they have texture. So you pick out your tiles in the sizes you want. And then you get home and gather what you need. Cut them out. Go go go! Love me?
Sewing Tips: Attaching Buttons with a Sewing Machine Don’t you love realizing there’s a faster way to do something? [If only there was a faster way to potty train a snarky little 3 year old boy who tells me it's not time to poop (or pee for that matter) in the potty yet. While I was changing his messy diaper yesterday, I suggested he give his potty chair another try......and he quickly responded, so matter-of-factly, "Not today mommy, maybe when I'm 4!" No sirree little buddy. Anyway, I digress. But today’s little trick will definitely save you some time. Now you can sew them on with your sewing machine in a few easy steps. I sure wish I would have realized this trick back when I made this pillow (found here). Sheesh, those buttons took me a long time to attach. So don’t let those little buttons intimidate you. After you get the hang of this technique (after practicing on one or two) you’ll never go back. (And a I have had several emails asking about making button holes. However, you can use this technique with 2 hole and 4 hole buttons.
Transferring Photos and Scrapbook Pages to Marble Tiles Transferring your scrapbook pages or family photos onto ceramic, stone, or marble tiles allows you to create gorgeous home decor or precious gifts. To begin, you will need to select your photos and have them digitally color copied onto special transfer paper found in any of the Tilano Fresco Transfer Kits or the Marble Coaster Kit. Ink jet prints will NOT work with this process. The transfer paper is certified safe for color copiers and the kit comes with a certificate that you may need to show at your local copy center. Here you can see the pictures that I chose and also the copy that I had made. You can also use copies of scrapbook pages or digitally editted photos so that you can add text. Be sure to check out more transfer projects in the Scrapbook Page and Photo Transfer Gallery.
Blog Le Nouveau Comptoir - Part 2 Le fil qui « choucroute »dessous. Lorsque le fil « choucroute » du coté de la canette,ce n’est, la plupart du temps ,pas à cause de la canette mais du fil supérieur (qui peut etre mal enfilé). Recommencer en priorité l’enfilage complet de la machine. Ensuite avant de penser que la machine à coudre est en panne,il faut vérifier la longueur de l’aiguille,(pour cela mettre une aiguille Schmetz dont la longueur est parfaite), Réenfiler la machine avec un bon fil synthétique(type Mettler,Gutermann en 2ou 3 brins maximum).Faire un essai sur un tissu de coton sans problème. Si cela ne s’améliore pas,il faut envisager une réparation……..

Pinspiration: Wood Photo Transfer Like all of you I am completely obsessed with Pinterest. I would call this a sickness but for all the time I spend on Pinterest, I get just as much out of it. Countless recipes, DIY ideas and great inspiration for my home, knitting and of course all things baby and maternity. Seriously check this talented lady's video out if you want to make this. Here is how mine turned out. I had the hardware store cut the boards in 81/2 x 11 pieces and then I sanded them so the corners were soft yet still rustic. One thing I learned the hard way is that you have to print your photos on a good quality laserjet printer. Here is a close-up of the mod podge and gel medium needed for this project. Next I coated my board in gel medium. Then carefully place your image upside down on the gel. After you let the wood block set overnight or 6-8 hrs. Soak the image in water using the rag. Then rub the paper off and watch your image come to life. This is one of my final pieces. I haven't hung mine on the wall.
