I am always looking for the perfect way to organize myself...especially when I'm planning a large event. The wonderful people at Canvas Corp recently sent me a goody box full of fun, crafty products and ideas for home decor projects. The one that really popped out was this peg-board calendar—I love it. You could use it as a calendar (which I'm going to try first), or as a place to pin up all your inspiration pics (mine come from Vogue, W, and other fashion magazines). I decided to get a big enough piece of peg board so I could use it as a "tool holder" as well.

Here's what you'll need:

A piece of peg board (I got my 2-foot x 4-foot piece at the Home Depot)
Spray paint in a color of your choice
Heavy grosgrain or woven 3/8-inch ribbon
Large-eye needle
Clothespins (mine are from Canvas Corp—all painted and ready to go!)
Hooks for the peg board (if you're going to use it as a tool organizer)

I started with my white peg board—you can leave it white if you like. Mine was a little dirty and my walls are white, so I decided to use some of the spray paint I had left over from the stenciled tablecloth to give it some pizzazz!

You can cut the peg board to a size that fits your room. In addition to smaller precut sizes, you can get it as a 4-foot x 8-foot sheet.

It was a beautiful day, so I took my peg board outside to paint it.

In addition to the peg board, I bought some metal hooks and heavy woven ribbon.

Make sure the hooks match the holes in your peg board. You can get 1/8-inch or 1/4-inch holes. I think the smaller hooks work in the larger holes (but not vice versa).

After the paint dries, plan the layout of your peg board. I split mine down the middle—2 feet for calendar and 2 feet for hanging tools. After you determine how much space will be devoted to the calendar, cut pieces of ribbon that are that long plus an extra foot for loops and knots. I decided on four rows of seven loops (one for each day of the week and three loops under each day).

Thread the ribbon through a large-eye needle—that way, it will be easy to weave the ribbon in and out of the peg-board holes.

You could also use a bodkin to weave the ribbon through.

Tie a square knot at the end of the ribbon and thread the ribbon through the first hole from the right side. (You could do this from the back if you don't want your knot to show.) Come up in the next hole. To make a narrow loop, go back through in the next hole. If you want a larger hoop, skip a hole.

I wanted to create some space between my loops, so I skipped a hole between them. You can skip more than one hole if you want more space to hang larger notes or pictures.

Using heavy ribbon will make it easy to keep the loops uniform in size as you "stitch" across the peg board.

When you get to the end of the row, cut up to the front and tie another square knot to secure the loops. Skip as many rows as you like and weave another row of loops (lined up under the first ones).

If you have a square ruler, you can quickly see the best way to crop your photo into a square.

After you've made your loop "calendar," use some colorful paper to make labels for the days of the week. Attach them with clothespins to attach them along the top row. Now you're ready to get organized—add notes to remind you about appointments or events.

Then, I put metal hooks on the other side to organize my tools.

Customize your peg board to fit your creative needs. I'm excited that I'll never misplace my large rotary cutter or inch bias tape maker again!

Did you make this?

Keeping kids occupied during the summer without spending a lot of cash can be a bit of a challenge. Here's an easy craft you can make with them using things you have around the house. You may need to help them get the octopus started, and help them to tie off the sections, but other than that, kids over 6 should be able to have fun with this craft.

Materials

-scrap yarn (I used 3 colors of worsted weight yarn, you can use one or several, it's up to you)
-a book that's at least 10" tall on one side (I used a composition notebook)
- google eyes
- tacky glue
- scissors
- clothespins (optional)

Wrap the yarn around the notebook several times. You want to get a nice thick amount of yarn on both sides since the thickness will form the octopus' head.

Be sure to wrap tightly, but not too tightly, since you'll need to be able to slide the yarn off of the book.

Once you've wrapped the book to your desired thickness, work a piece of string under the wraps on one edge of the book and tie it into a very tight knot.

Carefully slide the yarn off of the book. Turn the knot you just made to the inside of the looped yarn to conceal it.

Take a length of yarn about 2-3" down from the knot you just made. This makes the octopus head.

Cut the untied looped ends of the yarn open. Divide the strands into 8 sections (for 8 tentacles).

Divide each of the 8 sections into three sections and braid them.

If you'd like to let your kids do this, you can give them 8 clothespins to clip the ends of each leg and have you help tie them off all at once. Tie each end with a strand of yarn, leaving the ends long (so they'll blend in with the other yarn ends).

Clip the yarn ends of each leg to an even length.

Glue on google eyes and a little yarn smile.

Enjoy your new yarny friend!

When is the last time you got a nice handwritten note from a friend? Can't remember? Well, it seems that the art of letter writing is almost lost to us. Sure, e-mails are easier, but a handwritten note is something really special. Let me tell you, the only thing better than a handwritten note is a handmade and handwritten note. When I was about 14, I had a really great pen pal. We were both artistically inclined and would turn our letters and envelopes into mini works of art. One envelope she sent was encrusted with sewn-on buttons. It was one of my favorites and I still have it to this very day. These cards are definitely inspired by her.

A couple of things to keep in mind when sewing on paper: Make sure to change out your sewing needle before you go back to sewing on fabric, and I think that leather needles sew better on paper.

And one more thing: If you are going to mail these cards, remember that the buttons make them a bit heavier and you might need more postage.

What you'll need to make two cards:

Cardstock in two contrasting colors
X-Acto knife, cutting mat, and ruler
Decorative-edge scissors and fabric scissors
Assorted buttons
Scraps of ribbon
Glue stick or spray adhesive
Sewing machine
Needle and thread
Envelopes

Here are your two blank cards.

1. Lay out a sheet of cardstock on the cutting mat. Fold the cardstock in half lengthwise, and press the folded edge flat with the side of a ruler. Using a ruler, cut the sheet in half to make two cards that are 4-1/4 inches x 5-1/2 inches.

I used pinking shears to make these decorative edges. You also could use a scallop or even just cut them straight with an X-Acto knife.

2. Mark two 3-3/4-inch x 5-inch rectangles on the other sheet of cardstock. Cut out with decorative-edge scissors or, if you prefer, with an X-Acto knife.

A selection of some ribbons and buttons I used. Pick a color story that you really love.

3. Lay out all your buttons and ribbons and figure out your design. You will be working on the 3-3/4-inch x 5-inch rectangles.

Sew on the ribbons with a straight or zigzag stitch. Backstitch at the beginning and end of each line.

4. Start with the ribbons: Lightly coat the back of the ribbons with adhesive and adhere to the cardstock as desired. Trim the ends with fabric scissors. Use your sewing machine to topstich over the ribbons. You can also add some more decorative lines with the machine if you wish.

Poke holes in the card to make a guide for sewing on the buttons.

5. Add the buttons: You will want to make guide holes in the card for the button. Hold the button on the card where you want it to go, and poke holes into the cardstock through the button holes with a needle. Thread a needle and knot at the end. Sew the button on using these holes as a guide and knot on the back of the cardstock.

6. When you are happy with your design, use a glue stick or spray adhesive to lightly coat the back of the cardstock and affix it to the front of the cards.

7. With the sewing machine, stitch around the edge of the contrasting cardstock rectangle to permanently affix to the card. If you have buttons close to the edge, either sew the cards using a zipper foot or just sew some of the sides of the card.

8. If you want, you can also add some ribbon and button embellishments to the flap of the envelope in the same way.

Total Time Needed:: 1 Hour

When the urge to wax romantic strikes, these melted-crayon valentines really fit the bill. Parents will need to do a little ironing here, but shaving the crayons is a job that kids can really put their hearts into.

Materials

Crayons (light and bright colors work best)
Handheld pencil sharpener
Waxed paper
Large paper grocery bags

Ironing board and iron
Scissors
Permanent marker

Instructions

Peel the paper off the crayons. Use a pencil sharpener to shave them over a large sheet of waxed paper, spreading the shavings thinly and leaving a wide blank border around the edges of the paper.
Place a flattened paper bag on your ironing board, then set the crayon-covered waxed paper on top of it. Cover the shavings with a second piece of waxed paper and then another flattened bag. Heat the iron on the medium or wool setting, then slowly and evenly press the surface of the top bag (a parent's job). Continue ironing until the crayon shavings are evenly melted (peek under the bag to check).
Once the waxed paper is cool, your child can cut out a bunch of hearts. If he opts for larger hearts, he can use a permanent marker to print greetings directly on them. Smaller confetti-style hearts are great for filling store-bought cards.

Variations:: For an extra-special surprise, hang a stained-glass heart in this simple stand-up frame. To make one, cut two 4-inch squares out of colored card stock. Cut matching 2-inch-wide circles from the centers of the squares and discard them. Now cut 1-inch notches in each square as illustrated in the diagrams at right. Fit the squares together so that the notches interlock, as shown, and use thread and tape to hang a heart in the opening.

Pop-Up Flower Card

www.enchantedlearning.com

Supplies

White construction paper
Colored construction paper
Construction paper scraps
Markers/crayons
Scissors
Glue/tape

Directions

1. Fold a piece of white and a piece of colored paper in half like a card.

2. On the folded side of the white piece, put scissors about 2 inches down from top and cut down diagonally about 2 1/2- 3 inches.

3. Fold the flap to each side to crease it, then open the card and pinch it towards the middle and crease it well. This will form the "vase."

4. Make flowers by gluing leaves on a flower stem. Cut out flower shapes and glue stems in between.

5. Tape or glue flowers inside the back of the vase part of the card.

6. Close the card and glue colored construction paper over the outside. Be sure not to glue over the vase!

7. Decorate the front and write a message inside.

Kit para sobreviver aos primeiros dias do jardim-de-infância (só para pais)

1. É proibido insultar o jardim-de-infância chamando-lhe "escolinha". Em primeiro lugar, porque é uma escola. Em segundo, porque todas as escolas ganhavam se ligassem brincar com aprender.

2. É proibido que os pais imaginem que o jardim-de-infância serve para aprender a ler e a contar. Ele é útil para aprender a descobrir os sentimentos. Para aprender a imaginar e a fantasiar. Para aprender com o corpo, com a música e com a pintura. E para brincar. Uma criança que não brinque deve preocupar mais os pais do que se ela fizer uma ou outra birra, pela manhã, ao chegar.

3. O jardim-de-infância assusta as crianças sempre que os pais - como quem sossega nelas os medos deles por mais um dia de jardim-de-infância - lhes repetem: "hoje vai correr tudo bem!"

4. Os pais estão proibidos de despedir-se muitas vezes das crianças, ao chegarem todos os dias. E é bom que se decidam: ou ficam contentes por elas correrem para os amigos ou ficam contentes por elas se agarrem ao pescoço deles, como se estivessem prestes a ser abandonadas para sempre. Já os pais que, secretamente, gostam das duas coisas são bons amigos dos maus pais...

5. É proibido que as crianças vão dia-sim dia-não ao jardim-de-infância. E que vão, simplesmente, quando os seus caprichos infantis vão de férias. E que não vão "porque sim". O jardim-de-infância não é um trabalho para os mais pequenos. É uma bela oportunidade para os pais não se esquecerem que se pode amar o conhecimento, namorar com a vida, nunca ser feliz sozinho e brincar, ao mesmo tempo.

6. No jardim-de-infância não tem de ser obrigatório comer até à última colher; nem dormir todos os dias. E não é nada mau que uma criança se baralhe e chame mãe à educadora (ou vice-versa).

7. Os pais estão obrigados a estar a horas quando se trata duma criança regressar a casa. Prometer e faltar devia dar direito a que os pais fossem classificados como tendo necessidades educativas especiais.

8. Os pais não podem exigir aos filhos relatórios de cada dia de jardim-de-infância. Mas estão autorizados a ficar preocupados se as crianças forem ficando mais resmungonas, mais tristonhas ou, até, mais aflitas sempre que regressam de lá. E estão, ainda, autorizados a proibir que o jardim-de-infância só se abra para eles durante as festas ou sempre que uma criança esteja doente.

9. O jardim-de-infância é uma escola de pais. E um lugar onde os educadores são educados pelas crianças. Um lugar onde todos se educam uns aos outros não é uma escola como as outras. É um jardim-de-infância.

10. Um dia, num mundo mais amigo das crianças, todas as escolas serão jardins-de-infância!

Basic instructions for a waldorf doll

" ......a handcrafted doll is one of a kind, an individual which carries the spirit of the maker in its stitches and absorbs the spirit of the child who loves it".

Isn't this a beautiful description of a handmade doll? I've been making waldorf dolls for about six years now and I was very lucky to be shown how by a German lady who was based at the waldorf school in Kings Langley. I started off making dolls for my own children and I in turn have taught other people to make dolls for their childen. In this way the waldorf doll making tradition continues as it has done for most of the last century. I have no idea why these dolls, which I believe were originally made by Kathe Krusse in Germany were adopted by the Steiner movement. I do know though that the dolls are made wherever there is a waldorf school and each country seems to have a slightly different way of forming the head, or tying the eye line or using different fabric for the skin. I make a few dolls each year to sell at our school's Christmas fair and as I was making a doll the other day I thought it would be interesting to document the process. So for those of you struggling with a book here are some basic instructions:

The dolls I make are 16'' tall and made from natural materials. First off I wind a ball from washed fleece to form the head. The ball on the left of the photo has a 12'' circumference and is probably a bit large to be honest. Then I take two pieces of carded fleece and place them in a cross and I put the head on top and I encase the ball and put it into a piece of tubigauze which I have stitched along the top. I push the head into the tube and tie it at the neck. There will be fleece sticking out but that's OK because it forms the shoulders/chest.

Next off you need to tie the eye, head and chin lines. I take a long needle and linen thread and I go into the side of the head at the ear (halfway down the head) and I go through the head to the other ear. Bring the thread back across the face and tie very tightly to the thread hanging out at the first ear. Then take the needle over the head and back through second ear to the first ear and pull tight, then take the thread under the chin and through the second ear to first, pull tight and finely round the back of the head and same process back to the first ear. Phew - your fingers will be aching by now but tie the two threads together and cut off the tail. Then take a piece of skin coloured stockinette and stretch it and pin it across this head and sew up the back and top and again tie at the neck.

Place pins where you think the eyes and mouth should be and embroider them.

Then sew up the arms and body on the sewing machine ( I can give you a pattern if you don't have one - just e-mail me). Turn right side out and stuff the hands and arms with fleece, firmly.

Sew the arms onto the back of the chest piece. I forgot to say to leave a few inches free at the top of the arms.

Stuff the feet and then the legs and then the tummy of the doll. Place the head and arms into the body and sew around the arms pushing in more fleece from the other side to firm up the chest. Finally sew around the neck and sew the head to the body with ladder stitch. You will need to bind off the hands and feet now but I forgot to take a picture of that.

Now the time consuming process of doing the hair. For boys I crochet a cap and then hook individual strands into the cap. For girls I either make a hair piece by winding wool around a book or I weave the hair over pins placed on the middle of the head and the ear which I then sew down. I would seriously recommend that you get a book for the pattern and for hair making instructions. A very good one is 'Kinder Dolls' by Maricristin Sealey. For doll supplies like the tubigauze, stockinette and hair you could try Weir Dolls, Waldorf Toys or Myriad.

Here are a few more pics of some of my dolls. Once you can make the head there are endless ways of making dolls with them. You can make a doll with a felted body or use and old cardigan.

You can even make little dolls for the seasonal table:

Well, I think that's enough navel gazing for one evening. Do let me know if it doesn't make sense or if you'd like the pattern and good luck - it isn't that difficult honestly and your child will cherish it forever.

How to :: Loopy Felt Flower by Sister Diane

July 10, 2009

If there ever was a classic instant-gratification craft, it’s the venerable felt flower. I was playing around one day, and stumbled upon this method for making an interesting zinnia-style design. Hope you like!

First, you need some strips of felt. I’m using a variety of widths here: 2 1/4″, 1 3/4″ and 1 1/2″. They should be at least 6″ long.

Fold a strip in half lengthwise. Pin the edges together if you like.

Then, cut a series of slits into the folded edge. Mine are about 1/3″ apart. You can cut them narrow or wide as you prefer. Just try to keep them reasonably equal.

Snip your way along about 6″ of the strip, and leave any excess attached for now. This gives us some flexibility in our flower design.

Now, thread up a sewing needle with about 18″ of doubled thread, and tie a secure knot in the end. Sew a small running stitch along the edges of the folded felt, sewing the two layers together.

(I should add: I’m using contrasting thread here for visibility. You’ll want to use coordinating thread.)

As you sew, pull on the thread to gather the strip. You can gather it as much or as little as you like, until you arrive at a flower shape you like. When you have a pretty shape, go ahead and cut off any excess felt strip.

Take a couple little tack stitches through the end of the gathers to lock them in place. Leave the needle and thread attached to the flower.

Now, fold the flower in half, matching the two ends as shown. Take a couple little whip-stitches through all the raw edges to join the flower into a circle. Knot the thread securely and cut.

Gently flatten the flower and adjust the gathers. Cut a felt circle large enough to cover the gathered area. And, find a fabulous button.

Glue that felt circle to the back of the flower with tacky glue. Let the glue set for about 10 minutes.

..And then, sew the button to the front of the flower, sewing through that felt circle you just glued on. You can use a shank button or a sew-through button for your flower center, incidentally.

If you don’t have any buttons large enough to cover the gathers, you can always cut another circle from contrasting felt and then sew the button over that - take a look at the light pink flower in the top photo for an example.

If you want to, you can make a second, smaller flower and glue it to the first one before you add the felt circle and button.

From here, you can glue a pin back to your flower to make a brooch. You can sew a cluster of them to a tote bag. You can glue one to a greeting card or scrapbook layout. You can use them as embellishments on scarves, hats, softies, pillows - oh, you get the picture!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Thank you so much Diane for sharing this great fun tutorial with us! I think I just won’t be able to help myself and have to make one. She’s made it look so easy and as she said at the beginning of the tutorial, it’s such an instant gratification project! I love those! And so cute. I think it’s just the thing to go on my new crocheted sun hat… and maybe on my jacket too. What about on my new tote bag I’m making from Weaving Unloomed… I think there too!

Sister Diane - aka Diane Gilleland - says that she’s “made things my whole life, and would gladly give up most household chores for an afternoon of serious crafting. When I’m not crafting, I produce podcasts, and make zines, and write and blog about crafts. I live in Portland, Oregon - the coolest city ever. I also run DIY Alert, a website for Portland crafters. If you’re a local, you should check it out.”

Have fun making some button fun projects this weekend!

Marble Painting


Time	5 minutes
Experience	beginner
Patterns	none required

Description

Children will enjoy creating a zany design, combining the different colors as the marble rolls through the paint. If there is a concern over the children putting the marbles in their mouths, use a large marble or a golf ball (which will also create a nice dimpled pattern).

Tools

scissors

marble

box

Supply	Quantity	Size
construction paper	1 sheet	9" x 12"
green tempera paint
orange tempera paint
red tempera paint
white tempera paint

Step By Step Instructions

1. Cut the piece of construction paper to fit the bottom of the box (you could use a small box or the cardboard tray from a case of water or pop, it just needs to be deep enough to keep the marble from falling out.
2. Squeeze small amounts of at least four different colors of paint (of the child's choice) on top of the piece of construction paper in the bottom of the box.
3. Place a marble in the box.
4. Gently rock the box in all directions so the ball rolls through the paint and covers as much as possible or desired of the piece of paper.
5. Remove the paper from the box to a drying rack. Let paint dry completely before hanging.

Fantoches de dedo

2008-11-01T08:34:00.000-07:00

Fazer fantoches de dedo é muito fácil e simples. Existem muitas personagens e animais que se podem fazer para criar, por exemplo, uma peça de teatro. Aqui vamos mostrar como se faz uma bruxa, mas depois podes usar a tua imaginação para criar outras personagens.

É preciso:

1 tesoura (tem cuidado!)
tecido de feltro de várias cores (para fazer a bruxa pode ser verde e preto)
cola
lã (neste caso cinzenta)
caneta de tinta brilhante
canetas de feltro

Como fazer:

1 - Corta dois rectângulos de feltro preto com largura e altura suficiente para, depois de os colares um ao outro, caber lá o teu dedo.

2 - Cola os lados e o topo dos dois rectângulos um ao outro, deixa a parte de baixo aberta para entrar o teu dedo. É o corpo da bruxa.

3 - Recorta dois rectângulos pretos mais pequenos e cola-os corpo da bruxa. São os braços.

4 - Recorta um triângulo de feltro verde para ser a cara da bruxa e cola-o à parte de cima dos rectângulos.

5 - Corta um triângulo de feltro preto para fazeres o chapéu de bruxa.

6 - Corta algumas tiras de lã cinzenta e cola-as na cabeça da bruxa. Cola o chapéu preto por cima.

7 - Com as canetas de feltro, pinta os olhos, a boca e o nariz da bruxa.

8 - Usa a caneta de tinta brilhante para decorar o chapéu.

Variações:

Com feltro cinzento enrolado em forma de cone, com orelhas e focinho cor-de-rosa, podes fazer um pequeno rato. Uns olhos grandes e uns bigodes de lã fazem maravilhas!

Para fazer um esqueleto, usa feltro branco. Mas desta vez faz um dos rectângulos maiores com pernas. Pinta os ossos e a cara do esqueleto com uma caneta de feltro preta.

Caixa-surpresa

2008-11-01T07:59:00.000-07:00

É preciso:

1 caixa de fósforos grande (vazia)
cola transparente (ou supercola, mas tens de ter muito cuidado)
1 mola de metal (das de caneta com botão, em espiral)
1 fava seca
fios de lã preta
1 marcador preto
1 marcador vermelho

Como fazer:
1 - Cola muito bem a mola verticalmente no interior da caixa de fósforos, chegada a um dos lados.
	2 - Cola na fava, oito fios pequenos de lã para se parecer com as patas peludas de uma aranha. 3 - Pinta, na ponta da fava uns olhos à "aranha".
4 - Cola a fava à parte superior da mola.

	5 - Na tampa da caixa faz uma seta a vermelho e escreve: "Abrir deste lado".
6 - Agora coloca a tampa deslizante da caixa, empurrando a "fava-aranha" para dentro, de modo que salte quando pedires a alguém para abrir a caixa de fósforos.
Nota: para esta partida funcionar melhor, podes fazê-la com duas molas, uma de cada lado da caixa. Assim, funciona sempre e não precisas de escrever a indicação "abrir deste lado". Se fizeres com duas, repete todos os passos no outro lado do interior da caixa. Agora vamos pedir aos amigos que nos "dêem um fósforo para lhes mostrarmos uma coisa"...

funky fairies

Cut a round head shape from thin cardboard. Then, cut a triangle from bright cardboard for the fairy�s body.
Cut two bright paper triangles for hair. Then, cut curves along the bottom edges and round off the points at the top.
Glue the head onto the body, and glue the hair onto the head so that the pieces touch at the top. Then, draw a face
Cut a square of pink net for the fairy�s wings. Then, cut a long piece of bright ribbon to hang the fairy from
Scrunch the middle of the netting and tie it with one end of the ribbon. Then cut two long pieces of ribbon for legs.
Turn the body over and tape the wings onto it with the long piece of ribbon pointing up. Tape the legs on too.
To make the arms, bend the bumpy part of a drinking straw and cut it so that both ends are the same length.
Press the bumpy part of the straw onto a piece of poster tack. Then, press it onto the back of the fairy, just about the wings.
For feet, thread beads onto the fairy�s legs and tie knots below them. Then, press a sticker on her hair and hang her up.
