How To Make an Eight Page Book Out of a Single Sheet of Paper Here are eight panels of artwork printed on one side of a single sheet of paper. With some trimming, folding, and cutting, we will transform this sheet into the eight pages, including the front and back cover, of a tiny book. Be sure to download and print a free book from the Free For All exhibition! The first thing to do is to trim off the excess paper from the edges. Here's the first fold you should make, dividing the page in half. Unfold the sheet, and fold it in half along the other dimension. Unfold it again, and then fold the page into quarters. And here's the next. Unfold the sheet, and make a slice between the tops of the center four panels. Fold the sheet together, so that the two strips of panels are back to back. And then find the front and back cover, and crease the book into its final shape.

DIY Faux Curled Rosewood Wreath {Made From Rolled Recycled Book Pages} I have seen various versions of Faux Rosewood Wreaths in just about every store and catalog for the upcoming season; most with a price tag running upwards of $40 or more. Some are crafted of paper and other of real wood shavings. Last year I made a few rolled flower gift toppers from recycled book pages and they remind me so much of the curled wood roses I thought they would make a good substitute. {with a much lower price tag} Materials Needed:Foam Wreath FormRecycled Book PagesLots of Hot GlueRibbon to Hang The full step by step tutorial I posted last year can be found {here}.Basically you layer three book pages together and draw a spiral circle. Starting with the outside of the spiral, roll the paper inward to create the flower shape. Give the wreath form a light coat of white {or light color} spray paint to help camouflage any see-through spaces. It seriously takes quite a few roses to fill the entire wreath, however I think the finished project has such a unique look. {Simply Lovely}

DIY Cup Cake Liners We went to a beautiful little island to pick raspberries last weekend and I wanted to make a bunch of lemon-raspberry cupcakes. To pimp them up a little, I made these cute, super easy cupcake liners . There were featured in Woman’s Day Magazine June 2012! Just download and print out the patterns on letter sized paper, cut out one big square, take a glass and wrap your paper around it. For the oil of the baked cupcakes not to zip through, take a little bit of wax paper, cut a smaller square and insert it in between your cupcake and the big printed square. Wrap some Bakers Twine around it. But we are not finished! More cupcake liner ♥ : …sooo whimsicly cute! …Pool party cupcake liners… …Add some lace… …A christmas tree… (on top of my list for x-mas decor!) …Very cute cupcake printables… ♥ A happy weekend!

A little monster loves you... We're well past Christmas now, and the present has been delivered, so now I can share it! I didn't have a whole lot of money this year for Christmas, but this Christmas I have a fiance! Darned if I wasn't going to do something special, so I decided to make something myself, out of something that's just about as cheap as it gets... paper!! I spent my lunchbreak over a week cutting this out by hand, with a fairly crappy xacto knife. It's a little bit hard to read, but at the top it says "N&J" (Niamh and Jonathan) surrounded by little hearts, and then it says "A little Monster Loves you So". It's a little joke between us that I'm his little monster. The little monster in the cut out is wearing the slippers. Here's a shot of it with fun shadows on his office wall... Needless to say, he loved it.

A Bath Pouf. That, Um, Looks Like a Rose.... Have you ever had an idea, and you thought "That's awesome! It'll be so fantastic!!" and then you make it, and you realize that it's really kind of kooky? That sort of happened here today. (well, a couple of days ago) I was trying to think of something to do with these old towels I had. It's a bath pouf. But, I thought I would post it anyway, on the odd chance that someone might want to make one. And if not, please enjoy a laugh at my expense :o) What you do, is cut about 1.5 inches off one side of towel (to get that finished edge), and two circles out of the middle. Gently pull the bottom thread to gather your strip, pretty tightly.Sew it onto one of the circles in a spiral shape, starting on the outside. Cut a 1.5"x6" strip, and finish the edges with a tight zig-zag stitch. Then pin the two circles together, with your 7" strip laid across the bottom.Sew a tight zig-zag around the two circles, sewing right over each side of the strip on the bottom. There. God bless! P.S.
