…compilation of tutorials
Somewhen I also want to try fabric printing and then the instruction on how to make a fabric print stamp pad will come handy.
I think that it should also be usable as ‘normal’ ink pad, I should try this sometime.

Once I played around with the Elissahearts and found them wonderful.
I didn’t work with the heart mould but just put both halves together. That’s not good because they can more easily break apart.
Just try it youself ;-)

I don’t remember what I was searching for, but then I found the tips and hints for making gourd purses.
Wow!
A little more research showed more gourd crafts at the same site and even a site only dedicated to the subject of making your own gourd purse making your own gourd purse.
There you can find more instructions, for coiled rims from seagrass coiled rims from seagrass or pine needles pine needles e.g.
I find them all most beautiful but (fortunately?!) ;-)) I can’t get no gourds, otherwise I could be tempted to try this, too ;-)

Today there’s no tutorial, but I liked the aerial image greetings so much that I wanted to share.
Click on the picture to enlarge and to see better what this is about.
But the picture is only the result, the whole message is revealed letter by letter.
Have fun sending love to good friends!

Once I found an instruction on how to make a scarf from felted old sweaters but the website doesn’t exist anymore.
The photo is from the website, click to enlarge.
That’s how they did it:
In fact I would like to have a cardigan-kind garment made with this technique, no scarf.
Therefore I went to several second hand stores to look for wool sweaters but found mostly sweaters from artificial material which don’t felt.
But I stay tuned ;-)

I find this little ring absolutely cute.
Especially the way she made the actual ring from beads and wire was interesting.
Something learned again ;-)

This corsage is really cute, isn’t?
And apparently very easy to make!
I can’t because I don’t have no fabric at home I could use for it (somehow I don’t want to cut holes into my bedclothes even if it looks nice ;-)).
But as soon as I get some fabric into my little hands I surely will make one.

You can get adhesive films to frosten windows but I find the instruction on how to frost windows with beer and Epsom salt much more interesting.
This way you can use up the rests from the last fasting and the last feasting ;-)
I find so great that you can make a design of your own and that you can remove everything by washing.
That’s handy, isn’t it?

I found an instruction for a cute notebook that is simply made with folded paper as pages and playing cards as cover.
That could be a nice quick small present.
Once I found an instruction on making buttons by weave wrapping wooden beads and tried it immediatley with different weave patterns: It is great!
I really like the weave wrapping of the buttons and find that the results are too beautiful to be used as buttons, I like them more as beads ;-)
