Project: How To Make Your Own Washi Tape. . . in 3 different ways!
Did you read Monday’s post about how completely awesome washi tape is? No? You should probably check it out now, so that you have ideas in your head on what you will use this tape for as you’re making it! My sister is visiting for the next week and a half, and she and I tried out THREE different ways to make it. They are all very similar, using similar materials, but the process differs slightly. Let’s take a look at each of them below! Continue reading How To Make Your Own Washi Tape!
Project: Traditional Standing Bird Origami Tutorial
Hey again, everyone! I decided to keep up my origami creature theme and try my hand (talon?) at making a bird! I decided on something slightly easier (and more kid-friendly!) than your typical crane, so we’re just going to make a traditional standing bird this time around. It uses one piece of paper and is pretty darn easy to make! Continue reading Origami with The Husband: Traditional Standing Bird

Next week, I’ll show you another project I used them in that turned out great! Continue reading DIY Shabby Chic Rosettes
Project: DIY Circle Skirt Tutorial
Today, I’m going to teach you the tutorial I’ve been really excited about since the day I learned how to turn on my sewing machine! Circle skirts are one of my favoritest things ever (what girl doesn’t love to twirl?), so I was both happy and terrified to try my hand at making one. I went through many other projects first, biding my time and avoiding making a skirt that I was going to destroy with my lack of skills. I also assumed (incorrectly, might I add!) that all apparel, particularly the circle skirt, would be too hard for my beginner abilities. With summer just around the corner and a new wardrobe quite literally at my fingertips, I decided to bite the bullet and give it a try. I’m so glad I did! Continue reading DIY Circle Skirt Tutorial
