Today I was talking with a friend about an upcoming craft show she will be in (how cool is she?!) and I
admitted the sad truth that I have been on a crafting hiatus. There
have just been too many bright sunny days where it would be a crime to stay in. The
danger of being on a crafting break is that inspiration and ideas don't
stop (and really, that's a good thing).
Here
is a great tutorial that I cannot wait to try! Japanese masking tape
is beautiful and can be used in so many different ways - fun wrapped
presents, art journaling, greeting cards, gift tags, wall decal
frames...I think you get the picture. The great part about this
tutorial is that it allows you to tailor your tape to your project
(color scheme, pattern, theme and so on).
This
is a fun tutorial that I may use to make Christmas presents (family
members - please now forget that I said anything...or at least act
surprised if you get one!) After my Abuela moved into her new digs I
became the recipient of some very pretty doilies, but I have to admit, I
did not have a
clue what I was going to do with them all...happily, now I do!
You
think I jest? Hardly. This project is not only very do-able (hint:
you use a soda can for part of it!) but you end up with something that
you can continue to create with! I cannot wait to both make this little camera AND take some fun pictures!!
I often swoon at light switch covers at Anthropologie...but
I just cannot bring myself to pay for something that seems so
frivolous. Now I won't have to! I have some pretty vintage papers that
needed a good home and lots and lots of boring white light switch
covers...now I just need a bit of time (for busy moms out there - this
project is, in fact, easy enough to do while your little one is
awake...though it does involve an X-Acto knife, so it's not necessarily a
great help-me-with-this project).
Alright, this last one is on my list of life-time to-dos, and a
shout-out of inspiration and faith to my sister who is in the midst of
reupholstering a chair (which is covered in a terrible green brocade
fabric...which she pulled back to find that the chair had been recovered
once and the original fabric was a terrible rose brocade...ha!) This
before and after (it's really not a tutorial) has an amazing time-lapse
video of the transformation...stunning!
