If you want to add a bit of colour and fun to your dog’s collar this post is for you. Our kids are all grown up and have flown the coup so our cute little Jack Russels have become the next victims for my craft projects. This month the topic for the Int’l Bloggers Club was “Flannel”. I made my dogs these cute Flannel dog bandannas using an old flannel shirt.
It is time again for our International Bloggers Club (IBC), and this month the topic was to make a project using toilet roll. I must admit this project was a real challenge for me, trying to come up with something unique using toilet paper was no easy task. The outcome was an oriental canvas decorated using toilet roll. The little Buddha statue sums up how I felt about this project.
Like so many other Unicorn Spitters out there I am always on the lookout for new items to spit on. After my daughter left home I found her old goldfish bowl (no fish inside) in her bedroom, and I thought it would look great as a Unicorn Spit Glass lamp. But I did not like the end project so it became a Unicorn Spit glass planter.
I know what you are thinking, NOT ANOTHER IMAGE TRANSFER TUTORIAL but this is a bit different from other methods because the image is in the center of the wood which creates a whole new set of problems. As I found out first hand while making this Ned Kelly patio cooler. I searched the Web for a way to do this but I could not find one with images in the center, so hence this tutorial. I tried a couple of methods to do this project and have discovered a few since that I will share with you. These graphics were done many times before I was happy with them.
Being a DIY and craft blogger I like to try new projects to keep my hobby interesting. The downfall to changing your type of projects is that you need to buy all new craft supplies, which in the case of mixed media is expensive. To do mixed media craft you need some suitable waxes, shimmer sprays and paints. Looking online for supplies I found the cost of these products so high that is was not viable for me to buy them when I only do a handful of each type of project. To avoid the high cost of the mixed media supplies I made my own form products I had at home.
Every girl dreams of looking stunning on their wedding day in their beautiful wedding dress and shoes. My daughter got married recently and her reception was on a cruise showboat around Sydney harbour. She was afraid the movement of the boat could cause her to fall in high heels. Not being a girly girl, she has trouble working in high heels at the best of times, but she still wants to have sparkly shoes. We had a look on the internet, and she could not find what she had in mind. Me being the crafty one in the family I said I would have a go at making some sparkling trainers for her. You were not going to see her shoes under the dress and her feet would still be comfortable at the end of the day.
