Ugh Leftover Yarn

I’m one of those people that gets angry about not having enough yarn to complete a project so. I always buy a bit more than what I need. Since I'm a few miles away from the the shops. Because I like experimenting with different types of yarn, I tend to have bits and pieces left over. I usually use them to make small doilies or similar small projects but now have run out of people to give my doilies to!

What do you do with your left over yarn?? Do you save it, throw it away, use it to make something small? I searched and found 6 Good Ideas.

But I am open to more suggestions ; ).

Homemade Floam™ Instruction

Found this guide on how to make your own Floam™ it's pretty cool.

Children have been clamoring for Floam™, a micro-beaded modeling clay that has been heavily and attractively advertised. Unfortunately, people who have ordered Floam™ report long delays and deceptive business practices. Instead, make your own Floam™-like clay in whatever quantities and colors you like.

We found several anonymous recipes online. My husband Keith Golden tried three different recipes, then refined the best one. The result is virtually identical to Floam™ (except for smelling better). My major contribution was tracking down the polystyrene beads. (Note that the text on this site is covered by a Creative Commons license permitting reproduction with attribution for non-commercial purposes.)

Ingredients

• 2 tsp. borax (available in laundry aisle at your grocery store)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup white glue (we used Elmer's)
• 1/4 cup water
• food coloring (otherwise it will look like cottage cheese)
• an air-tight plastic bag (for mixing and storage)
• 5/3 cups of polystyrene beads (we used 2/3 cups micro-beads and 1 cup bean bag filler)

Floam™ is made with polystyrene (aka Styrofoam™) beads ranging in size from about 1 mm to 1/8 inch in diameter. You can make an approximation of the beads at home by grating polystyrene cups, packing material etc., although we did not try this. We bought two different types of beads:

• Micro-beads (about 1 mm in diameter), which we found at a Jo-Ann Fabrics & Crafts store. We had to call several stores before finding one that sold them. They can be ordered from Roseann's Dolls.
• 1/8" beads, sometimes called "milk bottle filler" or "bean bag filler", which we bought on eBay but you can also buy through Roseann's Dolls.

Instructions

1. Dissolve 2 tsp. borax completely in 1/2 cup (4 oz.) water. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl mix 1/4 cup (2 oz.) white glue and 1/4 cup (2 oz.) water. Optionally add food coloring.
3. Pour the glue solution into the air-tight bag. Then add 3 tbsp. (9 tsp.) of the borax/water solution to the glue solution. Do not mix them yet. You will have some borax/water solution left for another batch.
4. Add the polystyrene beads.
5. Seal bag and knead by hand until thoroughly mixed. Let stand about 15 minutes, and then knead a few minutes more.

This should produce a hard clay well suited for sculpting; for a more malleable clay, use fewer beads and optionally less of the borax solution.

Decoupage Ideas

I'm back again with some more info on Decoupage. I found some good sites with a bunch more ideas and articles that might interest those who are into Decoupage artwork. These sites are in no specific order.

Site #1: Make your Own Baby Crafts. This site has number of useful articles you might want to take a look at. The link above is one of those and, it's about how to make a baby craft using the art of Decoupage.





Site #2: DiY Network. Another good site features a lot of do it yourself projects. It features ideas for fun Decoupage projects. Clicking the link above will send you directly to the Decoupage tutorial section of the site.



Site #3: Michaels.com. Operates specialty retail stores which provide a large assortment of general crafts, home decor items, picture framing materials and services, art and hobby supplies, party supplies, silk and dried flowers, wearable art, and seasonal and holiday merchandise. The above sends you to a tutorial. It shows you how to make the what is featured in the image on the right.


Site #4: Flickr.com. Well you all know what Flickr is I assume. So no real explanation except it leads to a very interesting photo. I think anyone who is interested in Decoupage should have a look at it.

Decoupage: I Got The Materials Now What!?

|Prelude|: As with all art you will need to have an idea.

Step 1|First Things First: Prepare your surface you should start by making sure it's clean. Then paint and seal it.

Step 2|What Comes Next?: Cut out your pictures using your Craft knife, or School Scissors for your kid.

Step 3|Uhuh Now What?: Now you will want to arrange the pictures in an order that you like. Just for reference from my own experience. The first arrangement is always subject to change. Nothing is really set in stone until you add the glue. Then it's still not set in stone it's set in glue so..... anyway. The images you like can go any which way you want. On to the next step.

Step 4|Arrangement Got It What Else?: Alright now you add the glue to the backs of your pictures be careful though you don't want the ink running. Especially if your using pics from a magazine. I won't really go into the steps to prevent ink bleeding right now. Just don't add to much glue. Make sure you add a bit to the surface your adding the images to also.

Step 5|Anything Else?: Now it's time to stick your picture to your surface. Use a Brayer or your handy dandy Popsicle stick. Oh yeah if it's a larger picture start from the center and work you way out.

Step 6|Alright it's Starting to Look Good: Continue step #4 and #5. Until you have no more images you want to add, or you run out whichever comes first. Then it's to the coating process. Try This: dilute your Elmer’s or other PVA glue. With a little bit of water so it goes on smoothly. The color blue seems to run more than others so watch for that. Make sure to let it dry a completely.

Step 7|Ok I'm Done Right?: Wrong. You'll have to keep adding coats of glue or another sealer (polyurethane, acrylic spray, etc. ) . Keep adding coats until the edges of the pictures are smooth.

OK guide's over have fun!

Decoupage Have You Heard Of It?

Decoupage could definitely be used to make custom, unique and interesting baby crafts. You could use this technique on everything from furniture to wipes containers, to storage bins and boxes. Make cute picture frames. You could even make clothing obviously that would take a degree of skill, but this is a very easy craft to learn. Craft your own stuff and sell it online I know some people who do. Most just sell at local markets, but enough of that.

Let me give you a quick run through on what Decoupage is first. Then I'm gonna give you a few examples of exactly what you can do with it. Alright here goes.

First let me start by saying this is so easy a 4 year old could do it (hint hint). Now on to the things you would need to start.

White Glue - To glue stuff. What else are you gonna do with it?

Popsicle Stick - Smooth the wrinkles out and get rid of excess glue.

Cotton Swab - Your makeshift paintbrush spread the glue around with it.

Wet Rag - For cleaning.

Decoupage Medium - Glue/Seal is what this tool does. I doubt you would have one of these just lying around your house, lucky for you they can be found at almost any craft store.

Brayer - Does the same thing as the Popsicle stick except it rolls, more convenient than a Popsicle stick.

Foam or Small Paint Brush - Spread and apply decoupage medium with this.

Craft Knife - Used to cut out detailed pictures. If your kid is gonna be participating you could just give your little boy/girl a pair of School Scissors.

Sealer - Use your decoupage medium or glue as a final coat if your gonna do this the simplest way possible. If not you could try Acrylic.

The name of each item is a link to it's picture so, if you need to know what the items look like. Just click the name. I did not put any links to obvious pictures.

This Download Has Been Removed Cause I Don't Want To get Sued

Here's another project this time it's an Eeyore doll you know from "Winnie The Pooh". Even if you don't know, it's still very cute and stylish. So check it out, make it and give it to someone you love for a gift or just a random present.

Hint: Makes a great gift for toddlers or daughters of all ages.

It's a PDF file so your gonna have to download it. To view the information simply get a program like Foxit Reader it's free and it's great.

Let me warn you it's a very detailed tutorial and it's 45.32 mb. I would've just typed it myself but who really want's to type 45mb worth of pdf not me.
