Neon Planter Tutorial at Homely Creatures Blog

"Hello again lovelies! I have a great new project for you. It’s a woven neon yellow dip-dyed succulent hanging planter tutorial (phew, try saying that 10 times fast!) I’ve been having a bit of a love affair with natural tones matched with neon yellow lately, and a few weeks back I learned how to weave at Megan Morten and Maryanne Moodie’s ‘The School’. I am also loving hanging succulent planters and the dip dyed trend, so I thought why not mush all these lovely ideas together into one crafty creation?  Now before you squeal with excitement as I did when I started this mini masterpiece, be warned that this isn’t the easiest DIY project around. It can get quite fiddly and will take you a good few hours. But if you have the patience then you will be rewarded with the finest hanging planter in town".... Read more

Exercise accessory designed to be used for broomstick workouts

Workout Stick Tutorial at Boun-See Blog

"Ever since I saw my first broomstick workout in a magazine, I've been smitten. I love how using something as simple as a stick can really change the angles and depth of a workout. It can give you a better stretch, offer you a bit more stability during challenging balance moves, and allow you to move deeper into certain moves.  Today, let's make a simple fun workout stick, shall we? You can use a regular broomstick--or even a straight stick you find outside--to do the workouts. But wouldn't it be much more fun to create an artistic workout stick that you can use whenever the mood strikes".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Temporary Earring Back

Quick fix for a lost earring back

This easy solution came to me yesterday at the office, when I found  the earring back missing from one of my earrings.  To make this temporary earring back, you need a pencil eraser, a thumb tack, and something to take a slice of the eraser with - for example the razor blade I have in my desk drawer.  The blade was left from the previous occupant of my desk, and I've found it handy for opening reams of paper, cutting through boxes, and now, making earring backs.  The process is self-expanatory, but here are the steps anyway:

• take a thin slice of the eraser
• poke a hole in the center of the slice with a thumbtack
• voila, instant earring back!

My hair is chin length, so you can't see the back when I wear it.  If you have very short hair, this fix may not be for you.  Not pretty, but it may keep a favorite earring from getting lost until you can get a replacement.

Yes, you CAN just cut them into squares and sew them together. The problem with doing it this way is that you will not end up with similarly sized squares. T-shirts are made to stretch. This is rule #1 in t-shirt quilting. I reiterate: T-SHIRTS ARE MADE TO STRETCH".... Read more
