Dauntless button.
Just follow these instructions around the headphones. Use as many colors as you want!
Finished string headphones.
This was super easy! Just follow the instructions on my next link for the Chinese staircase, and do it!
I would recommend doing it with headphones that aren’t apple headphones.
The good news is that embroidery floss is only 35 cents a color! Cheap cheap cheap!
Inspiration for next project!!
Project!
So I haven’t found any pictures of inspiration for this one yet, so I’ll just write about it.
I’m in musical theatre. I want to go I to musical theatre, I love it so much. So I’m going to make a collage of my theatre goals. I have two types of goals first- roles I want to play/shows I want to be in, and second- theatres where I want to perform. This is going to be fun because I’ll get to spend some time really thinking about my dreams, and then searching them online.
Next project!!
Dry erase picture frame number 1
Made from scraps of my “schedule” dry erase frames.
Working on this now…. It’s tougher than I though.
Another “junk mail art” this one is made out of scrapbook paper scraps.
A smaller flower mirror
I made this one for my baby sister. It’s 3-inches across. Eight of each size petal, but I only used the two smallest size petals.
Crayon stained glass pieces. Haven’t decided how I want to string them together yet.
Materials:
Wax Paper
Crayons
Iron
Scissors or X-acto Knife
Pencil sharpener.
Yarn
Instructions:
1. Cut two pieces of wax paper.
2. Lay down the first piece of wax paper.
3. Shave crayons onto wax paper.
*Note: you can do them thick or thin, in all different colors, or in one color family, or all the colors of the rainbow. Totally up to you.
4. Put second piece of wax paper on top, and iron them until the stick together. IRON ON LOW, and follow with your fingers to press down.
5. Use scissors or x-acto knife to cut out shapes after the wax has hardened. You may have to re-iron the smaller shapes to make them stick
6. Use scissors or x-acto knife to punch small holes and thread with yarn.
All done!
Next project!! Here we go!
A really quick note on X-Acto knifes. Practice with them a lot. They are touch to get used to, so definitely work with them before you use then on what you want to be your final product. Watch your fingers, and change your blade regularly. Most importantly though. Practice, practice, practice. Practice curves and cutting in straight lines.
