Packaging Tape Roll Cuff Bracelet Tutorial at Show Tell Share
"I have a few packing tape rolls around the house. My kids always just played with them and when I felt I had enough of those rolling around the house, I would toss them in the garbage. I started thinking what I could make out of these. Thanks to this month's challenge, I look at what I throw out with more scrutiny. Although I cannot file this project under the challenge, it was inspired by it..." Read more

It really does look like an old window!

Old Window from a Frame Tutorial at The Way We Live Now
"I've been looking for an old barn window for ages now, it is almost impossible to find one since most houses dont have windows with wooden frames in Switzerland. I went to thrift stores, ask farmers if they had anything lying around, I even went to a company who makes windows just because someone told me to ask there...oh and I checked the local dump....but no luck. I'm not exactly a patient person so I came up with an idea to make a window myself:) I like how it turned out but I especially love that it only cost me 3 dollars to make!..." Read more

So beautiful and unique!

Gumnut Rose Wedding Bouquet Tutorial at spider flower
"I am an unapologetic hoarder of Martha Stewart Wedding magazines. I pull them out of the bookcase again and again - they are so beautifully crafted and have wonderful ideas in them time and time again. I got the urge to make a hand-tied wedding bouquet, which I haven't done for a while. Hand-tied bouquets have been the most popular style of floral arrangement for brides for a while now and they look just as at home in a vase as they do accompanying a bride down the aisle (minus the ribbon of course)..."

Tutorial - How to Make Alphabet Magnets

Nice!

Non-Obnoxious Alphabet Magnets Tutorial at NiceGirlNotes
"Hard plastic. Bright, loud, primary colors. Serif font with weird pointy edges. (Is that a T? No, honey, it looks like a T, but it’s an I because it has a hat AND feet.) And it’s as if they all procreate because they’re all over the dishwasher and the fridge and the front door.

And the floor. And if you’ve ever stepped on one…. well, you know. YOU KNOW...

But Rembot loves alphabet magnets. And I’m sure one day, her sister will, too. But those magnets mock me. The bright yellow and neon green mock me in the midst of my latte/white/muted blue/tasteful red living room and kitchen.

A win-win situation: non-obnoxious alphabet magnets..." Read more

Poseable Figure Tutorial at make52
"Sometimes you've just gotta follow your dreams. And if your dream is to create a poseable figure that's sitting on top of a huge seashell -- well, there have been stranger dreams, right? Right?

This figure -- okay, some might call it a paper doll, but it's much more artsy to say "poseable figure" -- will be part of a larger ocean-themed mixed media work that I'll be creating over the next few weeks. But you can do all kinds of things with this figure on its own: create several from a template to pose on a background, embellish in many different ways, or yes, even make some pretty clothes and dress it up..."

Summer's End Tea Party Floral Centerpiece Tutorial at spider flower
"I walked out the back door yesterday morning with our dogs and pussy cats in tow. As we wandered around the backyard, looking for some flowers for my next project, I realised that summer is coming to an end. Not a flower was in sight except for some ground cover primulas so I went out to the front of the house where the roses reside - not a single bud.

Well, there was one more little garden that I hadn't checked - the vegetable garden. Admittedly it has been a little neglected, but the sturdy little herbs and leafy greens have soldiered on despite the lack of water. So I trotted back around to the back of the house and found miracle of miracles: the only flowers with stems in the whole garden..." Read more

Tip - How to Unstick a Sticky Zipper

Great tip!

Unstick a Sticky Zipper Tutorial at Meg's Handmade Life
"I found the pair of heavy duty pants I wanted, complete with a industrial strength, impossible to use zipper.

So this little tip I got came from Joe and the Naval Aviation community. Apparently 3 feet of flight suit zipper tends to get cumbersome and so the zipper occasionally needs to be lubricated to make it run more smoothly. But what can you use that won't come off and ruin whatever else you happen to wash with it?..." Read more

"As I described to my five year old the jacket I planned to make him, explaining in detail the elbow patches and the pockets (he’s a big fan of pockets) he gasped and asked, “You mean like a harmonica jacket?!” Uh, maybe?

He received two harmonicas for his birthday earlier this month, and he’s frequently with one of them. I wasn’t aware that he was in need of a jacket to wear while playing them, but it does seem to work nicely for that purpose, so the Harmonica Jacket it is.

The jacket is full of little details. It’s a fully lined notch-collar jacket with double fish-eye darts in the front, two reverse safari pockets with flaps, faux-suede elbow patches, a back flap vent thing (technical term) and a chest patch pocket that holds a standard sized harmonica perfectly. ..."

The only solution in my mind, is to make a bobble, but when I looked for some idea of how to do this, I couldn't find anything on the internet or in my book stash.... I sat for a whole day, fiddling and trying to figure out, and (it must be said, my faculties have lessened in acuity somewhat, since I had my kids...;) ), eventually came to the conclusion that one has to first knit a row before you can go ahead with the bobble bit..."
