Fabric Bow Ring

So I had a hard time finding cute colors of suede for the leather bow ring so I decided to try fabric.  It turned out really well.  And there are tons more options with fabric.  I made this the day after I made the leather ring but it just took me forever to get around to uploading the video.  Enjoy.

Cute Leather Bow Ring



You know you want to make one.  It's too cute and way easy to make.  I bought the leather at Hobby Lobby but I'm sure it can be found at most craft stores.  I am going to order some more from this link (http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/suede-trim-pieces-444661/).  It doesn't give an option to pick what color I want to order so we will see what happens.

Screen Printed Scarf

Here's a tutorial for a screen printed jersey scarf.  Lots of crafty fun.  I had originally planned to do a more traditional screening method (minus the the emulsion printed screen) where you pour a large amount of ink on the screen and drag it across with a squigee.  I don't think the ink I had is intended for larger print areas so I had to use paint brush to apply the ink.  I still think it turned out awesome and I like the way the ink density isn't uniform.  I need to get ahold of some of the ink meant to flood a screen and try some stencil screening that way.  Anyway, I foresee a lot of screen printing in my future. 

Paper Onion Ornament

For Christmas I had intended to make this for one of my nieces but I ran out of time.  I finished a couple of weekends ago and gave it to her.  I have a small paper onion hanging under a large paper onion and then suspended them from alternating heights from a brass ring with a ribbon hanger. 



Beaded Wrap Bracelet



So while I was cruising around on the internet looking for ideas, I ran across some bracelets by Chan Luu.  They are beautiful but way out of my price range.  Several people have posted articles on how to make them so I kinda pulled from those and altered a couple of things to make it easier for me to make.  Enjoy...

Leather Cuff Tutorial

Even though I almost never wear makeup, for some reason I love to watch makeup gurus on YouTube.  One of my favorites is Kandee Johnson.  She wears a leather cuff bracelet that I love so I tried to duplicate it.  I think it will look better as it ages and gets the scratches and wrinkles from wear.  We’ll see…  Sorry about the video quality and the choppy cuts.  Video editing is not in my current skill set.  I also had to go back and recut the video to make the time limit set by YouTube.  Anyway, it gets the idea across.
