Twenty Fifteen Mothers Day Baby Craft

It's 2015 as we all know (yes this site has been long overdue for an update). That being said I wish you all a really great and especially creative year! I can never really stop thinking about this site as it is my first one ever. Being self employed is can be very demanding at times. I have new ideas in store to help this site grow and of course more crafts. A more detailed list of ideas will be given later each one will be implemented systematically so you can see the progress also weekly updates and preview screenshots on what I am currently working on.

I hope I still somehow manage you continue to delight with creative ideas. I know I haven't been there, especially in the beginning, not quite able create every week to post something new, but I'm back there will be more Baby Crafts.

But now to my first DIY project for this year. Do you know the one-coat animals from Pablo Picasso? You may ask well what does that have to do with Mothers Day or Baby Crafts Well let me fill you in. I was at Ikea, There were beautiful prints of these drawings. Even then, I would have almost hung the drawings on the wall.

Now I had the idea of ​​something thicker Aluminum Wire which I had actually bought for a Christmas Baby Craft that I might still post so look-out for that tis not the season though :( . I have to admit I've imagined it a little easier, but with a little patience and the right tools to get to a very good result.
I printed the drawings, because I wanted to create the bent wire repeatedly to reproduce exactly the same shape. But it was difficult for the size that it was, or the size I wanted it. So I carried on by eye ;) for the bends and curves pliers are best. The best ones are without grooves, so that there is no marks on the wire. Honestly the marks don't matter as much they add a certain aesthetic, but you'll need to mark the whole sculpt for it have continuity otherwise it would seem sloppy.

When you're done with the forms, your wire Picasso needs is a beautiful frame. I love to make the whole thing a little three-dimensional. Especially with wire indeed not everywhere evenly seated, it looks very nice if no glass pane in front of it. So I got this and simply got rid of the glass and mounted directly in the frame. The wire animals, I then secured with hot glue in two places on dark tissue paper. Now you have the back on which you can fix the artwork with small adhesive strips, attach only taped to the back of the frame.

There are plenty of crafts you can do with Aluminum Wire below is a YouTube video from a YouTube content creator that is very helpful. Her channel is called Making it Easy With Liz enjoy her tutorial.

I would suggest working with your little one for Mothers Day to make one for your mom, yourself, a friend or family member. These crafts take a certain amount of creativity and time the person you're crafting this for will know as well. Aluminum Crafts are very satisfying and rewarding to make you could even sell them if you wanted to.

Bias-tape Baby Bib Tutorial and Template

You can download this bib template or just freehand one

Another project that I tried while visiting Chloe’s Grandma Sandy was how to make a bias tape bib. Back when I was pregnant I had read that bibs with ties were a choking hazard, so when we were yard-saling we mostly picked up velcro versions. Turns out the ties are SO much better because you can get a custom fit around the neck, and baby can’t pull it off like she can with the velcro. Two of my favorite bibs were ones I won from Quilt Baby (now called The Modern Baby Co.), so Grandma Sandy showed me how to make something similar, while also giving me an introduction to bias tape. Here’s what I learned:

Materials for Bib
fabric piece for the cover (approx 8″x8″)
terry cloth for backing (approx 8″x8″)
bias tape (approx 54″)

1. Cut out the desired shape from a piece of cover fabric (front) and a piece of terry cloth (back). This is an ideal project for scraps. The one in the photo is about 7.75 x 8 inches. You can download, print and trace this bib template, or just freehand one.

2. Pin the two pieces together, pretty sides out.

3. Starting from the top corner, sandwich the raw edges of the fabric between a first piece of bias-tape, from one side to the other, pinning as you go. Keep in mind that the longer side of the bias-tape goes on the back so that it will “catch” when you sew it down (see this great bias-tape tutorial and video). We’re using pre-made bias tape that is 1/2″ wide folded, but you can learn to make your own from this video .

A Craft For Mothers Day | Mothers Day Special

Mothers Day Special 

I'm back guys and gals for all knew season for real this time. Baby Crafts will officially be being updated on a bi-weekly basis. I have decided to hit the ground running as it were and not only tell my loyal fans this but also deliver a spectacular mothers day craft. You see that awesome picture below yeah that's what your are going to be making. 

This particular craft takes about two-four days maybe quicker depends on how heavy the object you use to flatten your flowers. Once that's done it's a cake walk actually you don't have to wait for the flowers you could start on other steps while they are getting properly pressed. All of the materials can be found at a dollar store, if you've ever crafted anything like this before you should have most of them.

I also want to mention that you can decorate the card anyway you want to especially the front cause it's kinda plain. I was going for the "simplistic elegance" look with this one. I did the same with my layout starting to regret it a bit though. But as I was saying the color doesn't have to be beige use any color you want. Well I'm starting to ramble I know you want to stop all this reading and craft so Happy crafts!

How To Make
-------------------------------------------------------------------

        First things first place your lace flowers face up on the tissue paper.

   
        Press down on the lace flowers they should sorta stick to the tissue paper then you can flip the paper and the flowers face down.

        Better Yet: just place the flowers face-down on the newspaper. Then put tissue paper on top. I don't know what I was thinking cause that would've been so much easier when I was crafting  it XD.

   
        Remember I was talking about the wait period well here it is. You'll need something heavy to sat upon your flowers to make them nice and flat. I used a book you can use a stack of books whatever works for you.

   
        Fold you tracing paper in half.

   
        Turn over, in the down position, draw a little square of 4.5cm from the center of the right angle.

   
        As window frames, cut with the cutter.

   
        Turn over the drawing paper, put a double-sided tape on the inside of the window frame.

   
        Paste the tracing paper to peel off the release paper.

 
        Put a lace paper on the right side of the heart.

 
        Go gently with tweezers placed put the race on the flower Apply a thin layer of the bond of lace paper, and your pressed flower art.

        Finish so that the shape of the heart.

        Make a fine bow with a ribbon,

        Pasted on top of the window frame of the card table, it is decorated with two complete masking tape the top and bottom!



So I take it your done. You want more stay tuned cause sometime next week I'm bringing another gorgeous craft with me. Just be ready have your tools lined up and ready for use I'll see you then.
