Dear 16 Year old me

I found this video on youtube and think it has a pretty powerful message. As you are heading out to the beaches, make sure to wear sunscreen and protective clothing! You will be glad you did.

Polymer Clay Watermelon Magnets

I made these watermelon magnets yesterday out of polymer clay.  They were pretty easy to form and then I put them in the oven to bake.  After they cooled, I attached magnets to the back with hot glue.

Ruffled iTouch Case Tutorial

This tutorial is how to make an iTouch case. I have been wanting a case for my iTouch for a while, so I finally bit the bullet and made one myself! This case takes about 1 hour to make and it will protect your iPod from many dents and scratches. You can adjust the dimensions if you are going to use it for an iPad or iNano.  It will work for any device as a matter of fact.

Let's get to it:

Step 1: Cut your fabric.  The outside, lining, and batting should all be 6.5x5 inches. The ruffle fabric should be 3x8 inches.

Step 2: Sew the outside and batting together. Measure up 1.5 inches on the top and bottom and sew a line. This will help keep the batting in place when you use the case.

Step 3: On the ruffle fabric iron the long sides in 1/4 inch.

Step 4: Sew on the ruffles in the center of the outside fabric.

Step5: This is where it gets a little tricky! You are going to make a sandwich with the zipper on the inside.  Place the outside fabric face up and lay the zipper face down on the top of it. Then add the lining fabric face down and sew a 1/4 inch seam along the edge of the zipper. Repeat with the other side.

This is what it should look like after you have both sides done.  Make sure to open the zipper about halfway.

Step 6: Fold the case open like so. Stitch around all sides leaving a hole at the bottom so you can pull it right side out.

 Step 7: Fold it right side out and stitch up the hole in the bottom. There you have it!

Eye Chart Print.

I saw a print like this on etsy and I knew I had to have it! The only problem was that it cost $15(no frame included).  So I decided to create one.  It was pretty simple.  I just opened a word document and started messing around with fonts and text sizes.  After about 1/2 hour, I had it perfect! I printed it on computer paper and put it in a $3 walmart frame. I am very happy with how it turned out!
