T-shirt Scarf with T-shirt Flowers!

So this is the simplest project ever!

The scarf itself is extremely simple. Follow the instructions in this blog: http://myworldmadebyhand.blogspot.com/2011/02/how-to-make-no-sew-infinity-scarf-from.html

But basically you simply take an XL or XXL t-shirt and cut the bottom hem off and then cut all the way across from one arm pit to the other. Then STRETCH! That's really all it is!

The flowers are a little more work but not too hard. You can fine the tutorial at http://rebekahgough.blogspot.com/2011/08/how-to-make-t-shirt-flower.html

I glued buttons in the middle of mine and I also glued a safety on the back so you can move the flowers around depending on how you are wearing your scarf.

You should sooo try this!!!!

Fall Yarn Wreath

I once again, got my inspiration from Pinterst. http://pinterest.com/pin/278563508/

It is very simple to make. And you can customate it in any way that you want. So here were my steps:

1. Go buy yarn (I choose a solid brown and yellow and a muti-color yarn)

2. I then went to the dollar store and got some foliage. I also found the cross in Hobby Lobby for 40% off.

3. Start with a plain foam wreath from a craft store. Mark the section so you will know when to change yarn colors. (This is not necesary when only using one color.)

4. Then WRAP! I actually does not take that long. Start by hot gluing the yarn in the back and you will have to glue every time you switch colors.

5. Then simply emblesish however you wish. Its really simple and the possiblities are endless!

Name Art

Ok, so I have always LOVED the popular frames with your last name spelled out through strategic photographs.

Well they were way too expensive for my taste so I decided to make my own. And OF COURSE I got my inspiration from Pinterst! Here is her post: http://fullofgreatideas.blogspot.com/2010/10/absolute-favorite-thing-i-have-made.html

This blog posted that is there is an AMAZING website that allows you to use his photographs for FREE as long as you don't sell them. So here is my creation:

So this was my process:

1. Go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/lwr/collections/72157594587080023/ to find the letters you want. They are INCREDIBLE AND HE HAS LOTS TO CHOOSE FROM.

2. Then I found different size wood blocks from Michaels. (You could just simply put it in a frame like the blog from above did.)

3. I measured all the blocks and then sized each letter accordingly. Then I printed them out.

4. I then spray painted the blocks black (they were light oak).

5. Then cut each letter out and make sure they fit exactly where you want them on the board.

6. Spray adhesive to the board and carefully place each letter. (I used an old credit card to smooth them out.)

7. Let them dry completely. Then I mod podged each of them to seal them.

8. I then screwed a brace on the back of each of the letter because I wanted one solid piece.

And that's it! :) I think this would make a great gift too.
