Recently I've seen lots of posts on how to make nice things
out of felt. I thought I would give it a go too as lots of these posts state
nice and easy a material it is to work with. Ta-da this is my latest project:</div>

Only I didn’t find it so easy and it took me 2+ weeks to
finish. Overall I am quite proud of it but it probably took much longer than it
should have. <o:p></o:p></div>

I saw this on pinterest whilst browsing for ideas for something to do, using Sharpie pens to decorate plain plates. They make for nice personalised gifts if you are short of cash!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
All you need are some white plates, a range of sharpie permanent markers in a range of colours and an oven to bake the plates in.<br />

haven’t done any bead weaving for a while, so I thought it would be nice to try

1: Thread 5 4mm coloured bicone beads onto the fishing wire, move the beads so

2: Then thread both ends of the fishing wire through the beads you threaded

This time round I had a go at making Krispy Kreme doughnuts! Again it was nice and easy. I didn't take any step by step photos as it got a little messy.<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To make these you will need:</div>
<div>
Polymer clay in a range of colours </div>
<div>
Plain metal bracelet chain or necklace</div>
<div>
Mobile phone loop</div>
<div>
Metal eye pins</div>
<div>
Metal loops</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All you need to do is roll some brown polymer clay into round balls, then squish them a little so they are a little flattened. Next roll out some different coloured clay flat and lay it on top of your doughnut shapes (this is the icing). You can then roll out some long thin strands of different coloured clay (in a thin sausage shape) and arrange on top of the iced doughnuts. To make a hole in the centre of the doughnut, take a chop stick and stab the doughnut in the centre. There you have it, a Krispy Kreme doughnut! Add an metal eye pin to the doughnut so you can attach it to a metal chain once it has been baked and cooled. </div>

We moved into our new house last summer and the previous
owner of the property left a few things behind. Most of the stuff was outdated
old junk, and we took most of it to the local dump. There were a few kids’
things that I ended up keeping, one of which was an old jewellery box. <span style="text-align: center;">I had been thinking of buying a jewellery box for Affie (she has been given lots of jewellery already from friends and relatives). So I thought I would use this as an opportunity to have a go at upcycling (inspired by Kirstie Allsop’s programme).</span></div>

I started off by using plastikote in flat white. It covered the majority of the box but it was pretty thin, so I used the Wilkinson’s own brand (in satin white) which worked out so much better! I used some left over lace to get the pattern on the edge of the drawers. </div>

chuck all the ingredients into a bowl and mix. The main reason why I like this recipe so
much is because most of the bananas I buy always go skanky before I get to eat them. This is a recipe my Mum taught me ages ago, she normally makes it in a loaf tin but I decided to make separate cakes so they are more bite sized (also you don't need to slice the cake each time you want some-yup I am lazy!) You can add extra ingredients to the mix if you like (blueberries, walnuts or chocolate chips).<br />

For this you will need:</div>
<div>
Fishing wire</div>
<div>
3mm White beads X 245 (I used Swarovski white AB beads-which I bought from ebay)</div>
<div>
3mm Coloured beads X 185 </div>
<div>
Metal brooch back</div>
<div>
A decorative button </div>
<div>
Some strong glue (I used UHU glue)<br />
<br />
(I used 4mm sized beads because I didn't have enough 3mm beads for this)<br />
<br />

Once you have attached the petals to the metal backing glue the button to the centre. I'm sure there is a way of making a nice, neat centre using beads but I couldn't find a way of creating one. It just looked like such a mess, so its much easier to glue something to cover the mess!</div>

The beads I used for this were probably a little on the large side. So the brooch ended up massive, I have decided to use it as a bag charm instead. (Use 3mm size beads for a more 'brooch' sized brooch!)</div>

This is another really quick and easy tutorial on another
use for leftover beads. I bought some hair slides ages ago (in the sales) but
when I got home realised that one of the slides didn’t have a flower decoration
on it! So I decided to rip the other one off too-I sort of regret ripping it
off a little, I did quite like the flower, and then I lost the flower so I didn’t
have an opportunity to glue it back on <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">L</span>.

Hello, another bracelet tutorial for you! This one is another wide cuff style bracelet like the previous tutorial but I think this one looks a bit more fancy and dainty in comparison. This tutorial is also much easier (I lost count of the number of times I tried joining the strands in the wide cuff bracelet tutorial, don't get me started on how long it took to draw up the tutorial on it!!) Hopefully the diagrams/photos are all clear. Having had another read through of the descriptions for this tutorial, it might actually be easier to just follow the diagrams rather than read it! I will leave the wording up anyway...just in case some people do want to read it.</div>

Step 1: Cut some fishing wire, roughly about a 1.5m long.
Thread three 4mm bicone beads on, make sure that the beads are positioned in
the middle of the wire. (I randomly selected the different coloured beads, but
you can be a bit more methodical and thread beads on in a certain order that
you are happy with!) Then thread both ends of the thread through another 4mm
bicone bead (as indicated on the diagram).<o:p></o:p></div>

thread the wire through the beads until they are positioned next to each other

beads (I like to do this so it feels more secure, I get paranoid in case the
knot becomes unravelled). Once you are happy that it feels secure enough, cut
the ends.<o:p></o:p></div>

You will need:<br />
A hair band<br />
A selection of beads<br />
Some embroidery thread<br />
<br />
Step 1: Cut a piece of thread, roughly a metre long.<br />
<br />
Step 2: Tie one end of the thread to the hair band and wrap it around a few times.<br />

Step 4: Continue threading beads. After you add a bead wrap the thread around the hair band afterwards. Continue wrapping and adding beads. (I aimed to cover the piece of metal on the hair band).<br />

Step 1: Cut a piece of fishing wire, roughly 70 cm long.
Thread three 4mm white bicone beads and two 1mm blue beads in an alternating
pattern (as indicated on the diagram), position the beads so they are in the
middle of the fishing wire. The thread both ends of the fishing wire through a
1mm blue bead to create a loop.</div>

Step 5: Repeat until you have a strand of beads with four
segments of 4mm white bicone beads (like the photo. Continue threading the wire
through the beads until the strands are next to each other so you can tie a
knot. Once you have secured the strand continue threading the wire through the
beads (I like to do this so the bracelet feels a little more secure. You don’t
need to go over the top and thread it through all your beads) Once you are satisfied
cut the wire, this makes it nice and neat and makes step 7 much easier!</div>

only need a small piece; 15cm is more than enough). Thread twelve blue 1mm

the bracelet until the wires are next to each other then tie a knot. Thread the

<li>Start by threading one 2mm blue bead onto the fishing wire,
let the bead drop down to the middle of the wire. Then thread five 2mm white
beads on either side of the blue bead. Complete the loop by threading both ends
of the wire through a 2mm blue bead.</li>
<li>Continue threading beads in this pattern until you have made
6 ‘loops’ in total.</li>
<li>Then thread one 4mm blue bead on each length of fishing wire
followed by a 2mm blue bead then another 4mm blue bead. Complete the ‘loop’ by
threading both ends through a 2mm blue bead. (The diagram probably explains
this better).</li>
<li>Repeat the first step to complete the band of the bracelet.</li>
<li>Finish by using pliers to add the metal loops to the ends of
the bracelet, attach the metal clasp to the ends.</li>

My old art teacher taught me how to make this rosette. She
used this project to teach me how to sew. However my sewing skills are still
really poor, I keep losing patience with it! If you are not keen on sewing like
me, use glue instead. It’s so much easier! </div>

I got bored while I was waiting for Affie to wake up from
her nap so I decided to doodle on one of her old baby grows. It turned out
better than what I expected it to! I added some old buttons I had lying around
to jazz it up a bit, not practical for a baby who loves tummy time. Affie isn’t
keen on tummy time and prefers to sit up. Baby clothing can be quite pricey but
you can buy plain white clothing at much cheaper prices and decorate to how you
like! I sewed buttons on but I know these can be a choking hazard if they came loose. The onesie was only used once for the photos. The onesie is a little small for her (I couldn't button it at the crotch!)<br />

triangular shaped material down but its much easier to glue (much quicker too!)

Cut a piece of fishing wire (roughly 1 metre-this is
probably being a little generous but I prefer having a long piece of wire to
work with.) Start by threading 7 2mm white beads onto the fishing wire, move
the beads to the middle of the wire so you have equal lengths on either side of
the beads. Thread both ends of the fishing wire into another white 2mm bead to
create a loop.</div>

the bracelet).</div>

Hello!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Christmas is fast approaching! Normally I don’t get that
excited about Christmas. But this year I started getting excited in October. If
the previous version of myself could visit me now I think the previous version
would slap me several times across the face. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
With the arrival of Affie our purse strings have been
stretched a little, so I have been scouring the internet for different gift
ideas without having to spend lots of cash. The most obvious thing to do was to
use Affie to make some presents. For Grandparents we have made some footprint
cups. (It is safe to post this information as both sets of grandparents do not
know how to use the internet!) I have taught my mum several times on how to
switch on the computer and to use hotmail along with searching for different
websites but she has remembered nothing. She can switch on the computer but
that’s about it.</div>

It took several attempts but we finally got there. Affie was
happy to play along to begin with but 5 minutes in she decided that she was fed
up. I don’t blame her as I can imagine she felt a bit cold stepping onto a
paint covered sponge and then having a cold cup pressed against her foot. I
haven’t worked out how to do hand prints yet. She keeps clenching her fist; the
result was a paint smudge across the cup.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
In hindsight I would’ve like to put more different coloured
footprints across the granddad cups, but I was pretty sure that Affie had had
enough at that point. Maybe we can try handprints for birthdays in the future!
When we painted the cups the colours were quite muted and looked more
pastel-ly. But once the cups were fired the colours have turned out really
bold....and the butterfly bodies look a little bit like Mr Hankey.</div>

I mentioned in the previous ring tutorial that I cannot own expensive rings but to make up for that I own lots of cheap(ish) rings. Recently I came across a big blingy looking ring that I really liked the look of from Folli Follie. Unfortunately it’s a bit pricey and way out of my budget, so, instead of scraping my pennies together I had a go at making my own cheap version!</div>

The materials listed below make a UK size L ring. If you
would like to make a smaller or larger ring all you need to do is adjust the
number of 2mm plastic beads. But again use any colours you want. I originally
wanted to make a blue ring (similar to the Folli Follie ring, but unfortunately
I ran out of blue beads). Apologies if the description is a bit wordy, I re-read some of it and it sounds a bit confusing... People may find following the diagrams a bit easier.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 1:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thread five beads onto the fishing wire (one 2mm white bead followed by a 4mm purple bead and so on). Make sure the beads fall to the middle of the fishing wire, making sure that the lengths on either side of the beads are of equal lengths. Finish the 'loop' but threading both ends through a 2mm white bead.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 2:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then five more beads on both ends of the fishing wire. Make sure you start by threading a white bead first then the purple and so on.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 3:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thread 5 beads onto one length of the fishing wire, finish this by threading the wire through one purple bead (from the previous 'loop'), white bead, and a purple and white bead you have just threaded on. With the other wire thread one 2mm white bead on and then through the purple bead (from the 'loop' you made on the other length), then add one white bead, one purple bead and finish with a white bead. Finish this by threading the fishing wire through the loop of beads you have just made (as indicated on the diagram).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 4:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thread five beads onto one length of the fishing wire (starting with a white bead followed by a purple bead and so on). Finish this length by threading the wire through a purple and white bead from the previous loop. Repeat this with the other length. To finish this step off thread both ends of the fishing wire through one 2mm white bead and through a purple bead on either side of the white bead bead.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 6:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Add one 2mm white bead to both lengths of the fishing wire. Finish this step off by threading both ends through a 4mm purple bead.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 7:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now to make the band of the ring. Add three 2mm white beads to both ends of the fishing wire and finish the loop by threading both ends of the wire through one 2mm white bead. Continue this until you have reaching the desired size for your ring. Once you have reached the desired size thread both ends through the purple bead on the other end of the front detail. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thread the wire through the beads (in any order you like) until both ends meet and you can tie a knot. Ta-da you have finished! Continue threading the wire through the ring to make it more rigid (you don't need to do this but I prefer to do this just to make it more sturdy).</div>
