Mason Jar Monday | Weeping Cherries This amazing idea for housing kitchen herbs comes to us from Better Homes and Gardens. I thought it appropriate to share this Mason Jar Monday because it is not only a great idea for mason jars, it is also a great way to keep an herb garden during the coming cold months. From the BHG website, “Vintage mason jars are the ideal containers for a kitchen herbarium. Almost any herb can be started from seed in a mason jar. One reader suggests that these potted plants would make excellent Christmas gifts with a festive ribbon tied around the neck of the jar. Like this: Like Loading...
How To Mix Chalkboard Paint in Any Color We love using chalkboards as backdrops for displays and parties (like this one here!). So we were super excited to learn that you can create your own custom colors-and it's really easy! We first learned how from Martha Stewart whose tutorial you can read here. She recommends that you use latex paint, but we tried it out with acrylic paints with much success. Here's how you too can create your own chalkboard paint... Supplies: 1/2 cup acrylic paint (choose any color you like, or mix colors together to make the perfect shade!) 1. 2. Once your chalkboard has fully dried be sure to slate the surface before using it for the first time. Have fun creating any color combination you like!!
Easy Drink - Bottle Redesign by Hsu Hsiang-Min, Liu Nai-Wen & Chen Yu-Hsin The 45-Degree Neck What will happen if we shift the mouth of the bottle from the top to a 45-degree angle? You may not be able to fill it to the brim, and drinking from it may be a bit weird, but filling the bottle from a water cooler or fountain will surely become easy. This simple placement difference can do a heck lot for the packaging design and I think it’s radical and awesome. Designers: Hsu Hsiang-Min, Liu Nai-Wen & Chen Yu-Hsin MAGAZINE ENVELOPES 18K+ Well I got this idea from our friend Nina. She was making these super cute envelopes out of scrapbook paper and I really wanted to make some! So I came home and made some! They are so so SO simple and add a personal touch to your envelopes. You will need: An old magazine, scissors, an envelope, a glue stick and a Sharpie. Tear out some magazine pages that you like. Carefully pull the envelope apart. Trace the envelope on a magazine page. Cut the envelope shape out. Turn the envelope over as well as the magazine cut-out. Unfold everything and separate the magazine cut-out from the envelope. Glue the bottom flap down to the two side flaps. And you've made your own envelope! The great thing about making these envelopes our of magazine pages is that the envelopes have a character all of their own.

Fait main – Fait coeur Les pompons c’est joli mais je trouve ça un peu fastidieux. J’aime ce qui demande de la minutie… sauf les mini-pompons. Nouvelle technique : le pompon à la fourchette, en plus on en fait 2 d’un coup. Matériel nécessaire : - une fourchette, - de la laine. Pas de carton à découper !! Découper 2 brins de laine de 30 cm chacun. Nouer pour former une boucle. Ces queues permettront d’attacher les pompons, c’est bien sûr plus joli de les assortir. Scotcher une queue sur le devant de la fourchette, boucle sur le manche. Scotcher la deuxième de la même manière au dos de la fourchette. Enrouler votre laine autour des dents de la fourchette. J’en entends dire : « elle enroule beaucoup de laine ? Dé-stotcher une queue et faire passer le noeud dans la boucle. S’aider des dents de la fourchette pour bien centrer les queues. Couper la laine sur les deux tranches de la fourchette. Attention : Vous obtenez 2 paquets de mini-brins de laine. Egaliser aux ciseaux. Et voilà, deux pompons d’un coup.
