<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Looking for a fun DIY craft this Christmas?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Mini wooden pegs can be individually stamped with sweet little messages </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">~ like Joy / </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Noël</span><span class="Apple-style-span"> / Love / or even a persons name or initials.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When attached to brown paper packages wrapped up in string, mini pegs stamped with love, create an original handcrafted look for holding gift cards onto string. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also these cute little pegs are a fun retro way to display photos or cards around the home for example: hanging a collection of Christmas Cards onto a long length of ribbon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Stamped Mini pegs could also make a beautiful 'handmade' gift on their own, simply presented</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> together in sets, on natural card-stock (as shown) </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I do so love making quick and simple 'easy as' projects, and this cute little peg bag is no exception.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To make the peg bag below, I used a fat qtr of Spoonflower's Ottoman Rib base fabric, and my fabric design: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/2236458" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">Silhouette Charcoal</span></a></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have included some 'easy as' instructions in the picture below, just incase you would like to make one too - Click photo to enlarge.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Enjoy - Cheers, Kris :)</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I made up my <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/2532058" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">Vintage Christmas Bunting Kit</span></a> - featuring a vintage palette of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gold, Mint, Aqua and Cranberry. This Christmas bunting kit has 1</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5 bunting flags in total - per fat quarter of Spoonflower fabric .... </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This really should be an "easy as" project that can probably be cut out and sewn up in under an hour (unless like me you rush ahead and on your first attempt sew the letters to your ribbon backwards - bunting saying "samtasirhc yrrem" - dosn't quite impart the Holiday feeling i was looking for - haha!!!)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also this week I received in the post a copy of Homemaker Magazine UK (issue 12) - featuring my design <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/101249" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">Paper Daisy - Summer Yellow</span></a> </span>(far right below)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Every year, our Christmas tree goes up on the 1st December, but this year we're a few weeks early as I wanted to show you all how I repurposed an old drum lampshade to make this "easy as" no sew Christmas Tree Skirt - Yay!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3) Insert your Christmas Tree Stand and construct your tree as per the instructions</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Are you starting to think about Christmas?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know my thoughts are already full of ideas for decorating the house this Christmas; so when I found packets of 12 mini silver bells, for $2 at Kmart - well I couldn't help but buy a few.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now although cute - I wasn't really wanting that lovely, shiny, "new plastic" look that seems to be so readily available!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So in a few "easy as" steps I have transformed these cute little bells, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">to resemble old tarnished antique silver - Yay!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you would like to see how I "antiqued" these little bells, see the steps below;</span></div>

<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You will need:</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Plastic Silver Decorations</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gold Acrylic Paint </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(I used Jo Sonja's 'Rich Gold')</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dark Purple Acrylic Paint </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Method:</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1) Squeeze a little, gold and purple paint, onto your paper plate</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2) Add a little purple paint to the tip of your brush and remove excess paint </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(to do this - I make swirls with the brush, on a clean section of the paper plate until my brush is <i>almost</i> dry)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3) Dab the brush onto the decoration in random spots</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5) Add a little gold paint to the tip of your brush and remove excess paint </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6) Dab the brush onto the decoration making sure to cover most of the purple paint </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">7) Repeat on all decorations</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">8) Allow to dry</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I find however, that mini glass bottles (recycled from supermarket juice bottles) used on their own can be wobbly at the best of times ... so in order to make these little glass bottles more stable, I decided to join several together, simply by wrapping them with twine!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To make these "Easy As" Mini Glass Vases:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1) Place (a minimum of two) mini glass bottles side by side</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2) Wrap twine around the outside of all your mini glass bottles (If joining more than two bottles you will probably need another pair of hands to help you hold the bottles.)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3) Wrap twine tightly between each of the bottles (enough to stop the glass from touching)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4) Fill your new vase with water and flowers and enjoy :)</span></div>Kristopher Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01262112346167985488noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315293387837378508.post-5098805511842728202012-02-01T07:53:00.000+10:002012-02-01T07:53:27.019+10:00Happy New Year!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sorry for the lateness of this post (I mean really ... can you believe it's the 1st of February already) ... but <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am so excited to-day to be back in the studio, and I just wanted to shout out a great BIG .... </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do you like crafting at Christmas Time? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Christmas is usually my favourite time of year to sit around the dining table, chatting and crafting with friends and family.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've always loved easy - yet - Oh! so pretty crafts that add a vintage or handmade feel to your decorating - I think pretty f</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">abric roses fit this brief perfectly and best of all they can be made at any time of year!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br />
<u><br />
</u></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>Easy As - Fabric Rose - Tutorial!</u></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Tear a strip of fabric / old scraps of cotton and/or linen fabrics are perfect for these pretty roses<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(Note: changing the width and length of your fabric strips will create interesting variations in your roses</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Fray the edges of your fabric strip<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Tie a knot in one end of your fabric strip<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Wrap the remaining fabric strip around the knot (twisting as you go) <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- As you twist the fabric use a needle and thread to stitch (hold) fabric in place (or hold fabric in place with glue from a hot glue gun etc)<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- When you have almost finished wrapping your rose, tuck the end of your fabric strip to the underside of your new rose<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Your new fabric rose can then be sewn onto ribbon to decorate presents etc</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br />

</span>Hello Friends,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thank-you all so much for your thoughtful comments on my recent Spoonflower Blog Post - I really enjoyed reading your comments (and it was very reassuring to know my <a href="http://blog.spoonflower.com/2011/10/advice-from-spoonflower-designers-kristopherk-on-how-to-photograph-your-fabrics.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">photography tips</span></a> made some sense - lol :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br />
</span>To-day I thought I'd share a sneak peek of my newly designed Fabric Collection: 'Faded French' : featuring simple 'mix and match' palettes in Blue, Green and Brown :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br />
</span>I'm also expecting a fabric delivery from Spoonflower (any day now - fingers crossed) so I hope to post some fresh fabric photos, featuring my latest 'Linen Look' designs very soon</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Yay :)</span><br />
