A Very Simple Decoupage Tutorial

10:34 PM  craft, decoupage, guide, Homemade, idea  No comments

What You'll Need(Now In Color : 0):


-Something to decoupage on:  Old shoe-boxes can be a great place to start (and are free so there's nothing lost if you screw it up) but pretty much anything can be decoupaged as I'm sure you've seen around here. (Wooden items like tables or cigar boxes, plastics like suitcases, metals like the ever popular Altoid tin, glass vases and such - if it holds still it can be decoupaged.) For this I used a small chocolates box.

-Something to decoupage onto your object: This can be pictures from magazines, pretty paper napkins, stamps, some fabrics, comic books, old sewing patterns, etc. It's generally best to stick with something in the fiber family (papers and fabrics) and be fairly thin because you want your glue to get a really good hold. For this I used images of print fabrics from catalogs and magazines.

-Decoupage medium: You can use Mod Podge (available in matte or shiny finishes), other commercial products or just plain white school glue watered down (equal parts glue and water), which is what I like to use.

-Brush for the medium

-Scissors: To trim up your images...  I recommend using scissors that you don't mind getting a bit messy since you're dealing with glue.
-OPTIONAL Brush for paint & paint: I like to paint my object before I start just in case I don't completely cover the surface with my images or in case they are transparent. I used white acrylic craft paint.

Recycle Old Clothes Into Something New

3:24 PM  article, clothing, craft, guide, Homemade, idea, interesting, recycle, to do  No comments



This is a Follow Up To: So They Don't Drive You Insane



In this post I'm going to tell you some ways in which you can recycle your winter clothes into summer clothes. There is one thing you need to know about turning you long sleeve shirts into short sleeve ones. The back of the sleeve is always shorter.


1. Make a sleeveless shirt. Remove the sleeves from a shirt. Turn the edges of the armhole over twice and stitch a narrow hem. Add lace to the neckline or armholes.

2. Make a short sleeve shirt. Cut and hem long sleeves into short sleeves. Try cutting sleeves to three-quarters of the original length. Add a cuff, lace or small ruffle of contrasting color to the hemline of the sleeve.

3. Shorten a shirt. Cut and gather the hemline. Place a buttonhole at the front or side of the hemline for a colorful drawstring. Tie the drawstring into a bow or double knot.

4. Make a vest. Remove the sleeves from a zippered sweatshirt. Finish the edges of the armhole if desired. Recycle the fabric into pockets for the inside or outside of the vest. Try inserting a pouched pocket along the side seams.

5. Make a jacket. Cut and hem a coat. Recycle the fabric into pockets or a belt for a different coat. Gather the hemline or add a cuffed waistband. Change the buttons.

6. Make shorts or capri pants. Cut and hem pants. Try fraying the hemline or rolling it into a cuff. Add a small bow or fabric flower to the outside of the cuff.

7. Make something new. Change a pair of pants into a cute summer skirt. Recycle fabric into a bikini, tube top or halter top.

8. Make loungewear or pajamas. Remove collars, sleeves or pant leg elastics from comfy, soft garments. Leave hemlines unfinished.

Make Your Own Play Dough

6:52 PM  craft, download, guide, idea, information, to do  2 comments


Kool-Aid Play Dough

Below is a recipe to make your own play dough enjoy.

2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups boiling water
2 packages unsweetened Kool-Aid

Mix dry ingredients. Add oil and water. Wearing gloves, knead for 10 minutes. Store in zip lock bag in refrigerator.

Notes:

  1. Your hands may smell of the Kool-Aid flavor even with gloves.
  2. Kool-Aid is a powdered drink mix sold in North America. Parents just add sugar and water to make the drink. The powder has both flavoring and color which makes it great for this craft.
This more or less a follow up to the clay molding activity. That I mentioned in the last post. After you have made the play dough. You should try completing some of the activities in this book it's very fun.

So They Don't Drive You Insane

6:32 PM  article, baby, craft, guide, Homemade, idea, information  No comments


The summer break can get very boring for children. They love being out of school, but daytime TV can drive them crazy, not to mention the fact that they got tired of playing with all their new holiday toys about 2 days after the holiday. So how do you keep kids busy during the holiday break? Well you could always give them chores to do....I'm only kidding. One of the best ways to keep kids busy during the holiday break is crafts. Crafts take a lot of time and keep kids interested in what they are doing. Before they know it, it will be time for them to go back to school.

Here are some off the top of my head. That will keep you and the kids busy. Some of them can get a little messy lol.

Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clay modeling

+
Make some wind chimes. (very easy to make)
+
Key Charms you know those little things that go key rings.

Making Gel Candles for Fun & Profit

4:44 PM  article, craft, guide, idea, information, to do, wax  No comments


Candle making is by no means a dangerous affair and is often an activity that is fun for all the family however people should follow some very basic safety precautions.


Making Gel Candles for Fun & Profit
By: A Graf
____________________________________________________________________
There are a few items you will need to gather before you can start making your gel candles. The most basic are supply containers, gels, pans, wicks, and of course, your kitchen range. Below is a detailed list of the items you will need, and most of these items are available at your local craft and variety stores.

Containers: It's best to use a heat resistant glass, but there are also many types of glass and acrylics.

Materials: Gel Wax, Paraffin when specified in a recipe, candle scent, candle dye, wick, wick clip, and wick base.

Supplies: Craft sticks, knife, spoon, candy thermometer, pliers, small sauce pan, double boiler for paraffin when used, cooking oil spray, non-stick cookie sheet, ice cream scoop, ice pick, Potato peeler for the dye, stove burner, small deep metal pans, and molds.

Wicks & Clips: Use large bleached wicks. Gel candles burn longer than paraffin candles so a large wick is required for the additional burn time. Do not use wire wicks these will leave debris in the gel. Use a metal base clip and crimp it to one end of the wick with pliers or use a small washer.

Dyes & Scents: Candles dyes are great to use because their color is translucent. Crayons can also be used if the proper dyes are not available at your local stores. Candle dyes come in different forms, from wax squares, to liquids and powders. You can mix colors to form additional colors. Scents are fun to add to make the candle fragrant. Scents come in the form of oil based liquids, pellets and wax solids. You add scent before pouring the candle this avoids evaporation.

Additives & Release Agents: If using paraffin, add stearic acid to increase the hardness and raise the melting point. Use spray cooking oil or silicone spray to aid in the release of the molds.

Submerged Objects: In order to submerge objects in your gel candles they must be resistant to burning and melting. Items that work well are buttons, marbles, toys and jewels. Do not use highly flammable items. Some objects will float so you may have to add the items as the gel cools and thickens. This is where the craft sticks or knife comes in handy. You can push items down that float to the top.

Heating Wax: Paraffin should be heated to 130 degrees F to 140 degrees F. The melting point of gel wax is between 160 degrees and 170 degrees F. If you are melting Paraffin you should always use a double boiler. Gel wax can be heated directly on the burner set at a medium to low heat. Tip: Tear gel into small pieces to control the amount of bubbles.

CAUTION: Always be careful when melting wax. It is highly flammable. Make sure your area is well ventilated. Never leave unattended or around young children without supervision.

Clean Up: Use dish soap and hot water to clean utensils, counter tops and tools. Run paraffin under hot water then under soapy water. You can scrape wax off counter tops, or use small amounts of turpentine to aid in removal (be sure to test first).

Once you learn to create your candles create a business plan and decide on what market to target for your product. You could do theme candles such as weddings, birthdays, etc. Possbily decide on making recipe candles, or whatever great ideas you may have.

Then discover where to sell your candles such as craft shows, sell them on ebay, create your own web site, take them to work, set up trade shows, contact local gift shops and talk with others about selling or starting a new business.

Decoupage: I Got The Materials Now What!?

2:31 PM  baby, craft, decoupage, guide, idea, tutorial  No comments

|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!

Now there some creativity. The funny this is I have actually folded a book to look like that. When I was bored, but I never would have thought to make a pencil holder out of it. That's just one of the things you can do with a book you dislike or may have wasted your money on.

Here's the link to the Recycled Phone Book Pencil Holder Tutorial.

Rowan Wool Cotton

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

I found this lovely magazine just searching for new ideas and things to crochet. I thought I should share since It's a very good magazine. It looks dated but the patterns are very stylish, and the instructions are easy to follow. So If you know Rowan then you should know that this is quality stuff, and if you don't know Rowan I suggest you check out their site Knit Rowan.
You can also click the image to take directly to thier site.

The download IS another Pdf. So if you haven't got a pdf reader by now. I suggest you get one cause the majority of the patterns, guides and stuff. That is going to be posted here on Baby Crafts are going to be in that file format. Just go to Google and type in Pdf reader and it will come up with a bunch of results. Almost all pdf readers are free so pick one.


The download is 8.06 megabytes so it's way smaller than the last one. So even those with slow internet connection should be able to get it in an timely manner, and enjoy reading it so um... here it is .

Baby Crafts Eeyore Crochet[Download Removed]

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. I have a fairly fast internet connection and most people should have at least broadband or dsl by now. If you are in the category who doesn't just comment, and I'll try to figure out a why to get the tutorial to you in a faster more quicker manner.

Without further or do here is the Eeyore Crochet .
