Cardboard Storage to Dollhouse – Kifli és levendula Posted: 15 Jul 2012 09:29 PM PDT My sister nearly had a heart attack the day I asked a Wal-Mart clerk whether I could have an empty cardboard display for crafting. After seeing the adorable doll house that Kifli és levendula built out of one, I’m tempted to go see if they have any more. How sweet a project for a little one to play with? Or for a miniaturist! …

Bead Crochet Jewelry Posted: 15 Jul 2012 08:32 PM PDT This book is great fun!  Once I got it in my hands and browsed through its colorful pages, I couldn’t wait to try to make my own bracelet!  This is the first book where I’ve really been able to understand the technique for crocheting a cylinder with beads.  And, if I can understand it – so can you!  Trust me …

Ruby Slippers – Craft Foxes Posted: 15 Jul 2012 08:18 PM PDT So, I’m sure by now you’ve figured out that just about all glitter tutorials are the same. You need adhesive, glitter, and a topcoat to minimize glitter shedding. So consider this more inspiration for glittery ideas. These fabulous Wizard of Oz inspired DIY Ruby Slippers are all my childhood dreams come true. Bright red, glittery, and the perfect shape! All …

Tutorial: Toddler tote bag with whale motif Posted: 15 Jul 2012 04:41 PM PDT Ashley from Cherished Bliss shows how to make a small tote for a toddler to carry. The bag is cute enough on its own, but the whale and waves design that she added is super cute.  She waves are actually strips of jumbo ric rac.  The whale is stenciled using a die cut image, but if you don’t have the die, you …

Tutorial: Girl’s shirred sundress with ruffle hem Posted: 15 Jul 2012 04:05 PM PDT Bridgit from Wag Doll posts a tutorial showing how to make a shirred sundress for a little girl.  There’s a reason why these dresses are so popular right now – they’re easy to make, and they look so cute!  It’s hard to see in the photo here, but she adds a couple of cute details to the hem – a ruffle and …

Tea-Loving Character Actress Starts Line of Tea Cozies Posted: 15 Jul 2012 04:04 PM PDT I am a big fan of tea, but I have to admit that I do not own a tea cozy. I have an electric tea kettle and brew my cuppas one at a time. But I love the look of a knitting-bedecked teapot, so I can definitely see the appeal of the Go Ons, a line of tea cozies …

Free Knitting Patterns: Ornaments for an Advent Calendar Posted: 15 Jul 2012 02:42 PM PDT Kat at Just Crafty Enough had a really fun idea for an advent calendar that she’s sharing with the rest of us. Instead of the traditional candy or toys to be unwrapped with each day’s reveal, hers has knit Christmas ornaments to put on the tree. Because it takes a while to fill up 24 spaces, she’s already started working …

Have Any Patterns for the Pattern-a-Day Calendar? Posted: 15 Jul 2012 01:34 PM PDT I’m sure you’ve seen those knitting (and crochet, and other craft) pattern-a-day calendars at your local bookstore or yarn shop. As you can imagine, it takes a lot of patterns (365, maybe? actually, it’s more like 100, as some patterns fill multiple days) to fill one of those, so the publishers are always eager for submissions. The submission period …

Tutorial: Patchwork bath mat Posted: 15 Jul 2012 11:04 AM PDT Amy from MahliMoo, Me & Three shows how she added some color to her bathroom with a patchwork bath mat.  The backing is made from a bath towel.  The top is pieced from a charm pack and has strips of toweling overlaid.  The patchwork is pretty, but you could also make the top from a single piece of fabric.  One bathtowel …

Tutorial: Ruffle hem jeans for little girls Posted: 15 Jul 2012 10:51 AM PDT Blissful Sewing shares a downloadable tutorial on her blog showing how to make ruffled jeans and a matching belt for little girls.  She starts with a pair of jeans and then adds the ruffle to the hem.  It’s a cute style, and it’s also a great solution for pants that have grown too short.  Get the tutorial.

As always, the IPCA has a …

DIY Tufted Ottoman Posted: 15 Jul 2012 04:06 AM PDT I can craft with the best of them, but I’ve always been in awe of those that can redo furniture, or as in this case, make furniture! I consider myself a crafter that dabbles in occasional DIY projects. To make a piece of furniture qualifies you as a DIYer in my opinion. Amanda from bullfrogs & bulldogs created this beautiful …
