we can re do it we can re do it reincarnation for my stuff by way of recycling and reimagining tuesday october 21 2014 candy corn embroidered napkin rings as excited as i get about halloween every year without fail it always seems to stake me by surprise so i do a lot of last minute running around trying to pull things together but this year is different finally having a dog to dress up put me in the spirit way early or at least early for me since my dog is halloween ready i ve turned my attention to the rest of our house this sweet candy corn project was an easy festive way to spruce up my table and incorporates one of my favorite things to upcycle scrap leather what you ll need leather scraps awl scissors exacto ruler embroidery thread needle step 1 use the razor and ruler to cut your leather into strips that are an 1 1 2 wide for the length cut 6 long if you d like the results to be circular and 7 if you d like them to be a little more rectangular step 2 draw a candy corn shape onto a small piece of paper step 3 use your awl to make small holes on the line all around the shape step 4 cut around the shape step 5 place it in the center of the leather strip and push through the holes again with the awl this will make a impression on the leather below step 6 make 2 more candy corn impressions 1 to the right of the center shape and 1 to left step 7 now go back over the holes one more time with the awl making sure that it is piercing all the way through the leather placing the leather on a surface with some give will make this a bit easier even an old magazine will work step 8 starting with the yellow thread sew the wide bottom 1 3 the candy corn you will be filling the shape by repeatedly stitching diagonally across you don t have to make it look perfect in fact the more variety you give the more interesting the finished results will be step 9 repeat step 8 on the other two candy corns step 10 stitch the next 1 3 in orange step 11 and finally stitch up the tip in white step 12 finish by overlapping the ends by 1 2 and stitching them together happy howl oween posted by kat at 9 19 am 7 comments labels candy corn embroidery embroidery thread halloween holiday housewares interior leather napkin rings scraptastic table settings monday august 11 2014 summer diy tie dye tote of all summer diys i think that tie dying is up there with friendship bracelets as the season s quintessential project and i realized that it has been way way too long since my daughter and i have done this obviously we had to remedy this asap very easy and my dingy tote is way cuter for it supplies tote bag blue dye 3 rubber bands small tub to hold the dye step 1 prepare a small tub of the dye in advance according to the directions step 2 fold the right and left sides so that the meet in the center step 3 now fold the right and left sides back so they are touching step 4 beginning on the end away from the handles fold the corner in so that it forms a triangle step 5 continue folding triangles all the way down the bag until you have reached the the top of the bag step 6 secure the 2 corners with rubber bands so that the bag will remain in a triangular shape step 7 thouroghly saturate the tote step 8 now you re ready to dye it submerge the tote in the dye you may want to do an experiment with your fabric ahead of time as results vary from fabric to fabric but i found that about 4 minutes was all i needed to get the results i wanted on an unbleached cotton tote step 9 squeeze off excess dye and then hang to dry once the tote is almost completely dry rinse until the extra dye is gone and the water is running clear note to be on the safe side you should wash it separately from the rest of you laundry in the future to make sure that no color runs off onto the other clothes so that s it but like any good tie dye session our original plan to dye just a few things turned into my daughter and i making a mad dash around the house to find anything and everything we could possible submerge in the dye as per usual this was the best part i was so happy with the breezy and relaxed results i ended up using on my vacation to san juan puerto rico last weekend couldn t have summed up my trip any better unless i had glued a bunch of tiny drink umbrellas to it posted by kat at 10 20 am 2 comments labels accessories bag shibori summer diy tie dye tote vacation monday july 7 2014 stay golden gold leaf candle holder this summer i have made a new best friend and that friend is gold leafing i m totally kicking myself or not getting into this stuff sooner i m sure i ve expressed this before but seriously everything is better with shiny gold having never met an old jar or bottle that i didn t want to rehabilitate in some way gold leafing has turned out to be a game changer with just some tape and a cheap gold leafing kit the spaghetti sauce jar is now my new favorite votive holder materials needed clean jar gold leaf i used the imatation stuff but you can also buy 24k as well gold leaf adhesive sealant masking tape fine point sharpie prepare you design step 1 make a simple stencil for your pattern my gold cross is 1 2 long and wide giving me a total design area of 1 1 2 x 1 1 2 step 2 lay you stencil on the jar and trace using a fine point sharpie gel pen or china pencil step 3 repeat until you have the desired amount of designs drawn on to the jar it s worth keeping in mind that the more designs you have the more time you ll need to finish the project if patience isn t your thing you may want to go with a less is more approach or simply enlarge your stencil a bit step 4 now that your designs are drawn onto the jar you will need to block off the area around your design with masking tape lay the tape around the sides of your designs just outside of the tracing it makes it go a little quicker to cut your tape into a number of small pieces in advance so you can just grab them as you go step 5 when you ve finished take a moment to firmly press down all of the pieces of tape gold leafing step 1 paint inside all of the design areas with your jar of adhesive let dry until tacky step 2 get out a sheet of gold leaf and lay across as many of the designs as you can you ll continue adding sheets until all design areas are covered the gold leaf is pretty forgiving so if there are any edges or crevices left uncovered just add a little bit to those areas step 3 rub over all of the gold leaf areas firmly but gently with a soft cloth step 4 moment of truth remove the tape if you find any extra bits stuck in places where they shouldn t be just remove them also be sure to save all of those extra pieces of leafing that came off when the tape you can use those on your next project step 5 paint over all of the designs with the jar of sealant this will protect your design from knicks as well as tarnish the beautiful results are great to use as a vase or you could add a bit of sand or rice to lay a votive onto hope you ll have just as much fun with this as i did i must give credit where credit is due my inspiration to jump into gold leafing came from nc artist and my childhood friend sullivan anlyan she s an incredibly prolific artist whose work often pairs nature animals against a guilded background i m a little obsessed especially with beauties like this thanks for inspo sully and please keep up the shiny good work posted by kat at 12 25 pm no comments labels candle holder cross decor glass jar gold gold leafing home masking upcycled vase votive holder tuesday may 27 2014 vintage tie sunglass case it took its sweet time getting here but summer is here friends after this painfully drawn out winter i think we re all deserving of a little extra basking so of course we ll be need our sunglasses and a great case to put them in i have to this easy project felt a bit like a celebration to me 1 because my sunglasses from last summer somehow made it to this summer for probably the first time ever 2 because the colorful slightly over the top results are reminiscent of something my way too fabulous memaw grandma for those of you who don t speak southern would use back in the 80 s i think it s the gold trim it s kind of impossible to go wrong with gold materials tie no skinny ones 4 1 2 length of trim or ribbon step 1 lay the tie out flat with its backside facing up and set your sunglasses on top just beneath where the lining becomes visible step 2 fold the tie over so that it s completely covering the sunglasses step 3 cut off the extra length of tie straight across 1 above the sunglasses step 4 on the end that you just cut pull back the outer fabric about an 1 1 2 exposing the material inside snip through any stitches that prevent you from being able to do this step 5 cut away 1 of the material inside step 6 fold the outer material inward so that you have a smooth finished edge step 7 stich straight across step 8 again fold the end of the tie toward the point pin down just beneath where the lining starts to show step 9 now you need to run a few stitches to attach it start on the top right corner of the edge you stitched in step 7 and sew down about 1 2 when you ve finished repeat on the left side it s very important you push away the areas not being attached or you ll sew the pouch shut when you ve finished step 9 it will look like this step 10 finish by sewing the trim to the right and left sides 2 down from the pouch s opening happy summer tools scissors double stick tape or pins sewing machine or needle and thread posted by kat at 10 12
