For the Doctor Who series premiere tomorrow, I made me some Adipose marshmallows!
They’re so cute I could eat them up. Hurrrhurrhurrrr.
Another free pin cushion tutorial - this ones a little square one. Making these are definitely useful and are perfect practice for sewing beginners
Free tutorial for a simple but awesome reusable lunchbag.
Packing my own lunch for work ended up making me eat a lot healthier than just grabbing the cheapest food around - pizza, fast food, etc.

This is perfect for using up all the scrap material one seems to accumulate after a couple projects.

If you make your own crafts or clothes it’s great to add a homemade tag to show that it’s yours!
This tutorial requires ordering customized fabric (which ends up being pretty cheap considering how many labels you can make from it)
However, I’ve seen people just create stamps of their logo or name (or customize and buy a stamp) and hand print plain fabric.

Salt Glitter
Mix 1/4 cup of salt with a 1/2 teaspoon of food coloring in a small bowl until the salt is uniformly colored. Spread the mixture out in an even layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake in the oven for ten minutes at 350. Allow your homemade glitter to cool before using it or storing it. And that’s it!:)
Terrariums are basically self sufficient little worlds which require little water in order to thrive and grow and the water supply is cycled from absorption to condensation. Use any glass container - mason jars, fish bowls, etc.
