So here's another great tutorial from the talented Kolleen Kilduff of Design by Night. It's an upcycled wrapping paper necklace. I'm always hanging on to little scraps because they're too pretty to through away and now I finally have a use for them.
Felt Flower Bobby Pin Tutorials
I love working with felt and I love to stick crap in my hair. The more sparkly, the better. Here are a couple of really good felt flower bobby pin tutorials for those who feel the urge to get crafty. The left pin can be found at Design by Night and the right at All In One Day's Time.
Day 169 from 365 Lucky Days
I know I've posted before about 365 Days—the project by Lucky Jackson where she's set a goal of making an original piece of art every day for 365 days. I just love Day 169 pictured above. I'm just amazed at what she does with fabric and needle.
Upcycled umbrella lighting
Love this upcycled umbrella lighting. Grouping everything creates a functional sculpture effect. I'd just miss my mouth eating because I'd be looking up all the time. via curbly ~ scraphacker
Drive-In Movie Theatre Finder
I have fond memories of going to the Drive-In Movies as a kid. The scale of the big screen, the popcorn, the parking of the truck backwards so you could stretch out in lounge chairs in the back to watch the show. Sadly, most of these places have closed, but there are still a few around that light up the nights. Use the Drive-In Theatre Finder at Drive-Ins.com to find the closest Drive-In to you and take a carful of friends or just your squeeze to the movies the old-fashioned way. I've had enough lately of 3-D and overly climate-controlled artificial environments.
Upcycled Sock Gloves
Theres a great tutorial over at Cut Out + Keep on making Upcycled Sock Goves. I find this particulary useful because most socks wear out in the heel and toe and this design uses the generally intact upper part of a sock.
Tentacle wall sculpture
Yep. I want this. What need I have for a tentacle coming out of the wall is beyond me, but I still want it. This tentacle wall sculpture and many others can be found at ArtAkimbo.
