Faux Fur: What Can I Do With It?

Katar — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 14:00:01 +0000

So.. what can you do with it? I see it at Jo-Ann’s all the time, and honestly wonder what the heck could possibly be done with it. This post lists everything that I could find, with tutorials!

Actually, I made this stocking with some faux fur for my fiance’s niece. I hope she loves it!

I hate the winter. I really do – it’s cold, I act even more like a shut-in than I already do, and it takes me a good 15 minutes to prepare myself to venture out into the cold. Luckily, scarves help. I can wrap them around half of my face, so they’re pretty awesome. Not to mention, most scarves are somewhat of a fashion statement, so that’s a bonus!

Yeah – I love scarves. They pretty much rule. Here are some tutorials for making your perfect scarf!

Old, Boring T-Shirts: What Can I Do With Them?

Katar — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:00:30 +0000

I saved so many of my shirts from going to concerts, vacations, summer camps, etc. because I wanted to make a sweet t-shirt quilt one day. So far, that hasn’t really happened. However, I do recommend an AMAZING book if you do want to make a t-shirt quilt. It is extremely easy to understand for beginner quilters like myself, and is really interesting! It’s called: The Extraordinary T-Shirt Quilt: A Scrapbook You Can Sleep Under by Lauren Kingsland. You can pick up the book for as low as $15.50! Pretty sweet.

Oh yeah – and I have the biggest collection of BORING shirts. They have basically been sitting in my closet unworn for years. Something MUST BE DONE… and SOON!

Making a quilt and donating your old t-shirts is awesome and all – but aren’t these tutorials for what you can do with your old, boring, or meaningful shirts awesome as well? Check ‘em out! Click on the photo to go to the tutorial.

I have neckties. A lot of neckties. I recently asked the question, “What can I do with neckties?” on twitter and DIYscene, and got a bunch of different responses. I also hardcore looked up tie crafting for a good couple of hours. Here are the results!
