  Halloween crafts: Monster Mash-up Felt Face Activity   I had an idea to use cheap craft felt to create this Halloween monster mash-up felt face activity for the kids. The activity is played on a 9×12 piece of felt,which is actually one side of the felt pocket where all the pieces are stored. This activity has inspired lots of giggles at our house in the past week as they made Dracula have hair bows,Frankenstein have a pumpkin mouth and the Witch girl

  Halloween custom for kids: Pillowcase Wings, sewing patterns Ok, this is one for us grown ups! This all started with a white wraparound cotton cardi that Sessi wasn't showing any interest in wearing. I sewed two ribbon loops onto the cuffs and suddenly it was transformed into a pair of wings, becoming a favourite thing to wear over dresses and t-shirts. The idea has been in my mind now to make her some fabric wings as an alternative to the wire ones, that get bashed and

  Crafty jewelry: DIY Silk Chiffon Whisper "Feather Earrings" Well my friends, today was the first day of Spring!  Can you believe it?  I've been taking my open-toed shoes, trenches, and summer skirts out of my closet... staring at them wistfully, and putting them back.  But now that it's officially Spring, I'm going to start wearing them (even though NYC is still a little chilly.) In honor of today, I've put together a fun and easy DIY that will (as if you aren't

  Copycat Felt Owl iPhone Cover tutorial I started by laying my phone on the felt to guesstimate how large my felt needed to be.  I left a little bit of excess on the edge and cut the felt long-ways so I would have a little flap at the top. Then I started cutting out pieces.  I started with the bottom wings, then added the rest of the pieces. Here it is all pieced together ready to be sewn. I used orange stitching around the

  Halloween crafts for kids:  Craft Stick Mummies (and Ninjas??) So I fully intended to make and post these super easy craft stick mummies that make a great classroom or party craft. They’re fast, use very few supplies, and don’t involve anything intricate. Kids love them, and they are cute. Couldn’t ask for too much more :) But if you know me, I like color. White is so BORING, so I thought I would play around with my mummies today and add a little

  I was totally inspired by a pin of the beautiful kaleidoscope felt collage necklace made by Homako. She sells these at Etsy for only $28,-. But even though they are really cheap, I wanted to be able to make my own, in different color schemes and an interchangeable necklace. I started with a copy of the necklace by Homako and then spent the entire day on making variations. Crafty jewlry: Kaleidoscope  tutorial Want to make your own as well for personal use?
