The Polaroid Coloring (you've been looking for)

In this modern world, almost anything is possible. To say nothing is impossible might be a statement of exaggeration but it's not hard to believe that it's possible for you to get a polaroid picture without having to buy a polaroid camera. The picture might not pop right away from your camera but some simple post-processing in Photoshop can make a great digital polaroid photo. Not long ago, I

I have used them to embellish hair bows, monograms, appliques, purses, skirts, pants...the list goes on. You don't need a ton of fabric, in fact you can just use fabric scraps or fabric squares! Oh, and the fun part is you get to play with the design when layering and you get to mix and match with colors!..." Read more

Upcycled Bean-Bags with Washable Covers Tutorial at Way Cool Blog
"My two year old loves beanbags. I mean really loves them; she loves to carry them about and put them into about any opening big enough to hold them. She even likes to take trips up and down the stairs just to transport them all from one place to another. The big problem I had with the last set I made was making choice between A) filling them with actual beans and avoiding those nasty petrochemical plastics for the filling and B) being able to throw them in the washer. I went with plastic craft beads for the last set, but don’t feel good about it..." Read more

Tutorial - How to Dye Yarn With Kool-Aid

The voice of experience is so useful when trying something like this for the first time. We can learn from her experiments! Beautiful results!

Dye Yarn With Kool-Aid Tutorial at Uzume's Crafty Goodness
"Prior to writing this, I decided, for the sake of correctness, to check the spelling of everyone’s favorite powdered drink. Kool-ade, I had thought, made sense. Like lemonade or limeade. Right?
Wrong! “Kool-Aid”, the package pronounced. I was perplexed. I still am. I guess it aids you… in being “kool”? Whatever that is. I’m bitter that my sensible-spelling logic didn’t work out.
Regardless of any personal issues I might now have with said drink mix, it is a fantastic color-izer of woolen stuff. I have been getting into yarn lately, and, even more lately, into wool yarn (it felts! Isn’t that awesome?!?!) and I vaguely remembered hearing something about Kool-Aid. I hit Google, found a few pages with general instructions, and within a few hours I had dyed my first batch of yarn.

I’ve dyed several batches since then, and here’s how I do it..." Read more

Preserving Beauty From the Summer Garden Tutorial at One Girl In Pink
"The thought of dried flower arrangements probably takes you back to the country crafts of the late 80's, early 90's. I wish I had a photo to share of my county fair blue-ribbon winning dried flower adorned straw hat from 1988. Well, adjust your mindset because I have just recently started seeing dried flowers grace the pages of decor magazines and used creatively in beautiful vintage vignettes! Yes, dried flowers are back in vogue, and crafty people are doing beautiful things with them!..." Read more

Tutorial - How to Fix Jeans with a Broken Zipper

Cute little guest poster with a great idea!

Fixing Jeans with a Broken Zipper Tutorial at Home Sweet Homebodies
"Okay so as I was putting them on, the zipper broke. I was devastated. So I did what any rational person would do. I shed a few tears, and wore them anyways. They went perfectly with my outfit! What else was I supposed to do? I had to be out the door in 5 minutes, and I do not do well under pressure.. Well needless to say, that was a VERY awkward day at school, and after they made it through the laundry they got stuck on the bottom of the jeans pile (its really a tall stack) in my closet for the next 4 months. Unable to let them go, I still brought them with me to college, thinking I would find a tailor to put in a new zipper, because those jeans and I were old friends, and you do things like that for old friends.
Well, It got a little depressing looking at them, and being a poor college student, I hadn't quite justified paying to fix them yet..." Read more
