<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I created this gift wrapping for my niece's baby shower gift using rugged packing paper from a dollar store which I sewed together and decorated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This paper is pliable and wrinkles up and can be sewn without tearing. I made the lamb from a template I found online and printed out on card stock. The body of the lamb is covered in a fuzzy felt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The enclosure has raffia threaded through holes made with a paper punch and tied into a bow at the end.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cost of project: zero dollars and zero cents because the materials are from my crafting stash.</span>Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01349049496750819808noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-965871645197756413.post-25736726625875031452016-12-16T07:55:00.001-08:002016-12-16T07:55:50.695-08:00Toddler Celtic Cabled Cardi.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I found this yarn at a thrift shop for $4.50 and for a 60% Alpaca blend yarn, that's like hitting the jackpot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used a free basic cardi pattern and knit a lace insertion at the center back. It turned out exactly how I'd hoped it would.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I later found a vintage cotton sheet at another thrift store and paid a dollar for it. When I got home I found that it was a perfect compliment to the cardi, so I made the little sleeveless dress. My sister and I are now anxiously awaiting for someone to have a baby girl to put this outfit on!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This Baby Carriage gift wrapping was crafted with paper and stitched on a sewing machine. This size carriage will accommodate a newborn baby sweater, booties, socks or a headband.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I simply found an image of this carriage and as you can see, you need to know how to draw two circles to make this. I know what you're thinking - hard. </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">So make a template by drawing a circle that's 12 inches in diameter. Draw two circles that are 6 inches in diameter and you got wheels. </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Now cut your 12 inch circle into pacman.</span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"> Still hard?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought four of these chairs at a shop that refinishes antiques. It was going out of business and I found them in the basement for seven dollars a piece. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They had four coats of paint in questionable colours, and it was a bitch to strip them down to the wonderful wood they once were over a hundred years ago. The original seat would have been cane, but forms were cut from wood which were also painted crazy colours.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, I didn't take before shots because I just decided I had to refinish them <i>right now </i>and that means get right to it, so no before photos.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
I stripped going the toxic chemicals route and used paint stripper, then applied two coats of chestnut stain and then water based sealant. I found the paisley fabric a while ago and used it on an antique rocking chair and love it so much that I decided to cover the seat using it again.Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01349049496750819808noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-965871645197756413.post-49065293173840777392014-07-26T06:56:00.001-07:002014-07-26T06:56:29.263-07:00Wedding Gift Wrap and Wedding Dress Card<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtnDFj4DMcJSB_6NFEpcnjwyXlKSncWUQcv7QtqdEiRHnpeGMzvUjNpUfu10RdWhXXWU_BJNNigyswsplkoDTl3PZFL-5zy83ac0oL97Pjel4xsQluZS7lVutTrQX4mdSVd4SycLlORp9F/s1600/Wedding+Gift+Wrap+and+Card+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtnDFj4DMcJSB_6NFEpcnjwyXlKSncWUQcv7QtqdEiRHnpeGMzvUjNpUfu10RdWhXXWU_BJNNigyswsplkoDTl3PZFL-5zy83ac0oL97Pjel4xsQluZS7lVutTrQX4mdSVd4SycLlORp9F/s640/Wedding+Gift+Wrap+and+Card+001.JPG" /></a></div>Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01349049496750819808noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-965871645197756413.post-37979675764324092892014-07-19T14:21:00.000-07:002014-07-19T14:21:10.140-07:00Silk Flower Gift Wrapping<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzEiBc_HyUyRfNVEBdi00PD7D1-qgVKOHkA8ZdyECAGEdz1ph4EuWSM4mT9avp3j4_wqj9LS0GA9Ma0OoaWW6HOWEXBCVEsnCso5u138KVVZXe62TwmS_Py5zhjwxACfCaGNs-vtq_CihG/s1600/Gift+Wrapping+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzEiBc_HyUyRfNVEBdi00PD7D1-qgVKOHkA8ZdyECAGEdz1ph4EuWSM4mT9avp3j4_wqj9LS0GA9Ma0OoaWW6HOWEXBCVEsnCso5u138KVVZXe62TwmS_Py5zhjwxACfCaGNs-vtq_CihG/s400/Gift+Wrapping+001.JPG" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a simple little project, and here's a brief explanation of how it's done:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Choose your fabric and wrap your box as you would a present. I used a plain ole cardboard box, cutting off the top to create an open box. I used Mod Podge to glue the fabric in place.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used pegs to keep the fabric in place while it dried, like so.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c335/lindapendant/Crafting/BurlapCoveredBox002_zps1de6d28f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c335/lindapendant/Crafting/BurlapCoveredBox002_zps1de6d28f.jpg" height="242" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Embellish with...whatever. I used Mod Podge again to glue the elements in place. The daisy was crocheted with butcher's twine. I found a tutorial with photos <a href="http://greetingarts.typepad.com/greetingarts/2008/07/crocheted-flower-tutorial.html">here</a> which shows how to crochet daisies and I sort of got addicted to making them in different sizes. See how tiny?!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Look at the horrific mess I make no matter what I am crafting. Who would think this kind of destruction can happen while making a simple little box? Me, that's who. I'm impossible.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And there you have it.</span></div>
