Tutorial - How to Make Decorative Tiles with Sharpies

Use simple elements to make a colorful design

Tutorial at The Chilly Dog Blog

" I've had a stack of plain white tiles in the garage since we did some bathroom work over a year ago. I knew they would eventually be perfect for some sort of craft. The obvious project, of course, is coasters. These coasters incorporate two materials that you probably have in your house right now - Sharpie markers and rubbing alcohol. A set of four coasters are easy (and inexpensive) to create and would be a thoughtful housewarming, hostess or holiday gift. With a little guidance, this is a project that even the kids could help with".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Seasonal Pumpkin Decoration

Choose paint color to coordinate with your decor

Tutorial at Borei Design Blog
 

"Fall is FINALLY starting to rear its head in the hot South...in other words, it has hit 70 degrees! Hallelujah! To celebrate relief from the summer heat, I decided to add a little fall to my decor.  I got started by pulling out leftover wrapping paper from last Christmas and an old plastic pumpkin bucket from a Halloween passed that was sitting around in the garage.  I ripped the paper into several strips, cut the pumpkin in half to use as a mold and whipped up a batch of papier-mâché (paper mache) paste using my favorite recipe.

Tutorial - How to Fix Stretched Ribbing

You'll need shirring elastic and large eyed needle

Tutorial at Threading My Way Blog

"I have to admit, I'm not overly keen on clothing alterations or mending a worn garment. To prolong the life of a garment, however, I'll overcome my lack of enthusiasm. Today's sewing involved one such task - fixing the stretched ribbing on the sleeves of a favorite cardigan. As far as mending goes, the fix was relatively easy.  This cardigan has served me well - I wear it a LOT - and apart from the stretched sleeves, it's still in good shape. I have a habit of pushing the sleeves up to my forearm, which has probably caused the cuffs to stretch. I'm also not particularly careful when I take it off - pulling it by the ribbing, which also wouldn't help".... Read more

Tutorial at Sew Toy Blog

"Would you like to have more good luck in your life? Who wouldn’t! This was my thinking. When the babies are born, we send a greeting with a wish for good luck in their life. We wish good luck at birthdays, holidays when going somewhere or attempting something new and important. Thinking about that for a while naturally lead me to the worldwide excepted general symbol for good luck, the Elephant. The elephant is the symbol of power, strength, wisdom, and stability. Since my good friend, big elephant lover as I found out later, just had a birthday, I made a cute little elephant brooch for her, to pin on her clothes, bag, or anywhere else she will desire" Read more
