Plus the bedroom was actually pretty easy — with some fresh paint and strategically-placed DIY accessories, we went from bland and depressing to what I like to call our “sophisticated cave"....

Tutorial - Make a Planked Table Top Cover

Build an attractive and removable table top  

Tutorial at Holy Craft Blog

"I am a big believer in using what you have.  Why replace something if you can fix it? This idea to "fix" our current kitchen table has been rattling around in my head for at least a year. When we moved into this house nearly five years ago, we purchased a table at a local big box store. We had a lot of furniture to buy to fill our home that was twice the size of our previous home and I was working on a tight budget. Actually, let's be honest, I'm always working on a tight budget!  Long story short, the table, that to it's credit gets used multiple times a day, wasn't holding up as well as we would have liked.  I would often craft on the table and that poor surface took the brunt of the abuse.  That abuse and normal wear and tear on a cheap table was making it quite the eye sore in our kitchen"....

Tutorial - How to Make a Fabric Box with Attached Lid

Recycle cardboard or cereal boxes you have on hand

Tutorial at Mad for Fabric Blog

"Unlike my previous fabric box where you can adjust the height and width dynamically, here you need to decide ahead of time how large you want your final box to be. I wanted the dimensions of my box to measure approximately 7D x 7W x 5.5H. Here is a diagram I made to help you calculate how large your fabric needs to be. I cut a piece of craft paper to use as a template first to make sure the size was to my liking before I cut my fabric. I ended up cutting 2 pieces of fabric measuring 19″ x 29″ and used 1/2″ seam allowances".... Read more

"I am a big ice cream fan, especially at summer time. A scoop of ice cream simply makes my day. I love vanilla ice cream and any berry ice cream because they’re not only refreshing but very flavorful too. And after publishing the 11 Homemade Ice Cream recipes that you will fall in love with I felt the urge to have some ice cream.

Tutorial at Coloured Buttons Blog

"To make this pretty little fellow you only need some felt, a length of wire to place the butterfly on, an artificial flower stamen (which can be bought from a craft shop) to make the antennae from, a bowlful of beads and a little glue. You can find the complete step-by-step tutorial here.  Make sure that the wire you use is strong enough to hold your butterfly but thin enough to bend.

Tutorial - How to Applique with Scribbly Stitching

Get free applique robot templates on this blog

Tutorial at Threading My Way Blog

"The other day I showed you how to use an appliqué template to prepare shapes and fuse them onto fabric. Today I'll show you the method I often use to stitch raw edge appliqué. I call it scribbly stitching, but I've also seen it referred to as wonky stitching or sketchy stitching. The double sided fusible webbing glues the fabric together, but it's not strong enough to stay in position over time. Small pieces will fall off very easily if not stitched. Larger pieces will stay on longer, but possibly not after a few washes. When I first began appliquéing, I always used a zig zag stitch as the final step in the process. Whilst I still like and use a zig zag stitch, for appliqué work where the pieces are irregular or small, I prefer scribbly stitching".... Read more
