I have new neighbors and I thought I would make the a draft excluder as a nice house warming gift, the building we live in has alot of annoying drafts  I have two of them in my flat and I really do benefit from them I need to make one for the living room window as the curtains don’t quite get rid of this one draft i have coming in!  I also made one for my wonderful neighbor @Nevilina_3 !!!

Ignore my messy floor, Craft Central is busy at the moment,  but I love the fabric i chose its 36 inches length ways and 7 inches wide  took me 20 minuets to make!

Betty Boop inscense burner

October 18, 2011

I hand paint each one. The incense stick drops its hot ashes into the bottle, making it safer and less messy to burn. The bottles are portable so you can move them to any room in the house. They can be made in colors to match your decor, themed with your favorite character, team, driver, band etc.  To use, simply wedge the non-incense end of the stick into the provided key ring.  I attach these to each bottle with decorative beaded hemp. The hole I drill at the base of each one allows the air to flow, keeping the incense lit.  The smoke will escape the bottle into the air while the ash will stay neatly inside the bottle.

Incense Bottle Burner

I hand paint each one. The incense stick drops its hot ashes into the bottle, making it safer and less messy to burn. The bottles are portable so you can move them to any room in the house. They can be made in colors to match your decor, themed with your favorite character, team, driver, band etc.  To use, simply wedge the non-incense end of the stick into the provided key ring.  I attach these to each bottle with decorative beaded hemp. Now the smoldering stick will be suspended, tip down, from the key ring at the top of the bottle.  The hole I drill at the base of each one allows the air to flow, keeping the incense lit.  The smoke will escape the bottle into the air while the ash will stay neatly inside the bottle.  This particular bottle was an order for a “girly-girl” who loves to shop.  Happy to report that she loved it!

Drinks can mirror frame.

August 17, 2011

This mirror frame was made using empty drink cans, this one took about 35 cans. when I’d saved up enough, I cut out hundreds of 4cm x 4cm squares… If you’re planning on having a go at this be warned…it will ruin your scissors! to make the squares safer to handle, I folded all the corners into the middle to get rid of the sharp edges. Each square was then nailed onto the frame. The mirror with it’s wooden frame where bought from a charity shop, I painted the frame black before nailing the squares on. This project is quite time consuming, but the results are worth it, the photo don’t quite show the full effect, it’s lovely when it caches the sun and fills the room with little patches of multi-coloured light!

Here’s the cushion I made. I’ve used the applique hearts in various fabrics and stitched around them with the sewing machine a few times to outline them.

Recovered Chairs

My partner and I got some free chairs off Ebay years ago. They’d been left in a leaky garage by accident and so needed re-varnishing and some new seats. My partner made the seats by using the base of an old, damp seat as a template. He took some wooden boards, traced around the template, and then cut the boards to size. After that he stapled two layers of foam to the cut boards. He then cut some fabric (a little larger than the seat so as to allow for some overlap), stretched it over the wooden board, folded the material ‘hospital corner’ style and then stapled it in place. Job done!
