hello everyone

this past week we had a heat wave with humidex at 42 C some days so hopefully it wont get that hot again it is hard to blog in that weather in a hot apartment. Here are some of my favorite pins this week.

having a party ? Why not do this painted letter craft at your next baby shower or even the kids birthday party

i love this butterfly mosaic craft for kids could even put them on the window for sun catchers

going camping and need fire starters ? Why not make your own  fire starters with these ones made of cotton pads dipped in wax.

this idea for a bandana quilt is awesome make squares with different colors and make a whole different style of quilt so many possibilities of designs.

sleeping in a tent can be hard on your back why not use foam floor tiles for the floor of the tent and no more sore backs.

i love this blue jean apron made from an old pair of blue jeans great way to recycle your old blue jeans

until next week happy pining

my first tutorial - cookie cutter bin

i'm finally doing my first YAY !!!! i'm so excited i created this today as i have all these cookie cutters but no where to put them so i thought i would share my creation but you don't just have to use it for cookie cutters it can be used for mostly anything craft suplies, kids toys, bits & bobs money etc...

SUPLIES

1 round container with lid E.G juice container, coffee tin etc...

1 sheet of paper i'm using a 12x 12 scrapbooking sheet (but i should of used bigger..LOL) but depending on your size of container you might need biger

1 pen

1 measuring tape

1 pair of sizzors or exacto knife

1 glue stick or glue gun depend on the container

stickers, embelishments etc...

take a clean 2.3 kg empty juice container or any round container like a coffee tin will due i just happen to use this as i just finished my juice crystals & mesure with your mesuring tape how long around it is and how wide down




then take your sheet of paper and your mesuring tape and mark with your pen how far you need to cut your paper



then cut it to size since i'm using a 12x12 i won't quite have enough but i will show you how to fix this problem in this tutorial




spread the glue stick all over your paper so you can stick it on your container ( if your using a medal contanier you will be using a glue gun for this step)



stick your paper around the container if your antthing like me you might have to glue the edges after you put it on ( but that might be a good ideal to do anyway) you may use a exacto knife if your paper is too long as mined is ( I could never could learn to cut straight...LOL)

now here is the steps in case the paper is too short but you have extra left over

mesure the extra space you have left and take your extra paper left over and cut it to size just like you did in the begining of this project

now i did not mesure it so i ended up cutting strips out of some more extra and gluing them on that is why its important to mesure ...LOL



after you do all this it sould look like this

now take your stickers and other embelishments to decorate the tin if you wish




now fill the tin with what you want and replace lid

and now you have the finished product

i thought this bin just looked so cute i had to share with you all what i made
