I just love what this blogger has done making a piece of jewelry or charm out of Coca-Cola can! She has stop-by-step making it… take a look!
I love about this particular type of art is the materials used. Something super simple can be recycled to make something beautiful. Leave her a comment!
Have a great day! :)
Hello! I can’t wait to show you what I have made today.
You see…
I bought myself a new sewing machine just a little after Christmas and I’m finding ideas to make projects! My ole’ Singer sewing machine has finally retired!
Anyho, here it is…
this project was sooo easy, you beginners can do this! It took me 30 minutes from start to finish!
Okay, here what I did. I outlined the existing placemat with a Mark-B Gone marker on two-piece of pre-washed drop cloth. I stitch (if only you can see it in picture below) 1/2” from the marker’s line. I cut along the line with pinky shears and shook it well to release the threads. Do yourself a favor, don’t pull hard if they don’t want to come off, just snip them and from time to time, there will be more fray from wash.
I cut out letters on laser paper using Cricut Plantin SchoolBook, size 2-1/2'”. I stapled (yep, you got that right, a stapler!) the paper onto the placemat including the insides pieces for “e” and an “a”. Using Pebeo Porcelaine brown paint pen was a piece of cake! Remove paper and staples and there you have a easy peasy placemat! Wait for it to dry at least 24 hours before you wash it (it was already dry within an hour).
That is all to it!
I only made one for my kitchen counter!
Like it? I do! :)
Now that’s one project I’ve done…. hm? What’s next?!
More to come…
have a great day!
Wow, I have to tell you… my daughter and I couldn’t stop making Christmas cards! We wanted to do more, but then we decided we have done enough for this year! I have a huge; I mean huge box load of cards from the last 15 years! Some are easy to scrap, others are complicated, but we won’t give up!
Next Christmas, we’re going to do things a “little'” bit differently, you’ll see! hehe
I used the “velour” ribbon to make dots.
I used Cricut Graphically Speaking for “snow”
I added stocking sticker & ribbon over the existing stocking (Santa’s hand)!
I added glittered ornaments to one of the trees (far right).
Cut out a “window” and a wreath over an existing card.
See the polar bears in the sleigh?! Looks like one of them is peeking! :)
Cut a card into squares to resembles a window.
Added the glitter on the star.
My daughter cut the triangles and created a “star”.
Christmas and snowflake collage.
My daughter cut this angel (way too detailed for my eyes) and added the glitter!
My daughter did the detailed cut out and added the glitter!
Cut three circles and glued them together!
I used Cricut Plantin Schoolbook to make tiny bags for tea lights to give to neighbors. Bag stands 3 1/4” tall… so cute! And cut out stocking for name tag!
My daughter cut out the reindeer & star and added the glitter. She used Swirls & Curls (PR1002) stamp using the color of cranberry ink! So pretty! Nice job, Samantha!
I tore a few pieces of paper for “snow” and added the glitter. Now that looks real! ;)
I used snowflake punch.
Aren’t they fun to look at?
You know, you’re not alone… we need help getting ideas, too, so we searched in Google and Pinterest to get tips!
Not that bad, it was FUN especially doing it with a friend or with family.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a prosperous 2012 New Year!
I have so many projects I want to show you and I’ll do my very best to come back more often next year! Cross your fingers… ;) hehe!
I'm most thankful for all the people in my life and the freedom to see the world. We all have something to be thankful for.
From our family to yours, we wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
