The Best of DIY

Found a great tutorial on how to make a boxy pouch on the three bears blog. This would be great for storing all your makeup or even crafting utensils.

I found this really cute purse pattern on the Just One More Line… blog. This is something I would definitely use, it’s perfect for a new spring/summer purse! I usually use the same purse all year round til it starts to fall apart then I buy a new one. Mainly cause I don’t like to spend money on a purse, I can never find that perfect one that I love. Now I can make my own and have a collection!

I found this really cool tile picture frame on simpleartsplanet.blogspot.com. It gave me an idea to make a frame like this for a bulletin board. When I looked at this picture I thought it was a bulletin board at first, it would make for a nice decoration and space to hang thing in your office! Thanks for the idea!

I found this really cool tutorial that shows you how to make this lovely headband on the Alteredcloth.com website. I never can seem to find the right looking headband at the store, this way I can create my own and actually wear it! I really need to invest in a sewing machine to make projects like this easier.

I’ve looked around at various craft supply stores, wal-mart, michaels, etc…and I can’t find safety eyes. So I’ve had to opt for buttons to use for eyes. These eyes are perfect to use for toys they are extra safe if you are making something for a little kid. I found some that you can buy on etsy.com for pretty cheap. There are all different kinds you can buy too, not just black eyes.

I found this really cool pillow tutorial on the N.E.E.T Magazine website. If you click on the image above you can view a larger size and be able to see the directions. I’ve been wanting to get new pillows for the living room, I hate the cheap-o ones that I have. These would go good with the furniture, I don’t have a sewing machine but I’m pretty good a sewing by hand, it’ll just take much longer.
