How to Make Toilet Paper Roll Holder from Plastic Bottle

This toilet paper holder made of plastic bottle.

All made with bottle recycling
And still has a soap dispenser at the end.

I took a photo from all angles so that
You can see how it was done. But, I … I’m curious, I decided to make one!
And as I have bottles to the mountains,
I got stuck at work.
Let’s go to the materials you will need to get started:
3 pet bottles
1 screw
1 pliers
1 pilot pen
1 ruler
String
I chose the bottle of Fanta because her body
Is longer and the middle of the bottle is
Suitable for cutting. I took the toilet paper and
Me to make the hits on the sides. Medi and I’m doing the lateral cut. I was measuring the little holes with a ruler.
In this case, I did with 1 cm away,
But this is not a rule.
Each one can do closer or
Further … as you wish. Please note that I made a cut for the roller attachment.
At least what I use is very chubby
And had to make the cut. With the help of the pliers, I got a screw
That allows me to drill the hole and not go straight through
plastic. But be careful when handling! Look at the holes.
I did them well on the that I did with the pen! Here I start to finish my work.
I preferred to do the string.
Although I have other lines, I thought the
String wedged well with plastic. I started the base with low buttonholes. Here the work is finished.
I also made a flower in colored string
And a leaf to give grace! To make the union of the plastic again, I made
In the weeds, with this, the increase necessary to
Fit the toilet paper properly. Here the details of the side.
And do not worry about the holes.
After finishing, you can not even see them.
The tip is to make the holes well on the edge,
And that I only realized after
I began to make the point.
I passed the first career with 3 points high
And 2 chains, and in the second race I made high points on high points, when I arrived in the fan I put
2 high points within space.
So filled it out and it was really cool!

How to Make Sprinkles Ring/Pendant

If you’re searching for a simple, cheap but pretty and colorful jewel, you’ re in the right place. This could be nice for you or as a gift, for a friend. Step 1: Ring’s Tools & Supplies Required Material:

  • Syringe
  • Mixing bowl
  • Stir stick
  • Lighter
  • Beer cap
  • Sprinkles
  • Resin
  • Ring

Step 2: Ring

  1. Pour the sprinkles in the bottle cap and arrange them as you like.
  2. With the syringe, drain equal amounts from the two parts of the resin and pour them in the small mixing bowl.
  3. Stir the two parts with a wooden stir stick until you have a homogeneous mixture. Don’t worry about the bubbles, we’ll blow the most of them.
  4. With the syringe drain the mixture and pour it on the sprinkles and be careful to spread it on the inner edges of the bottle cap.
  5. Let the bubbles emerge on the surface and blow them with the flame of a lighter. Be careful not to burn the resin.
  6. Let the resin dry at least overnight on a flat, horizontal surface. To protect your project from dust, you can cover it with a bowl for some hours and then uncover it.
  7. When your project dried completely, glue the ring on the other side of the bottle cap using a strong glue or (as I like to do) use the same resin you used to cover the sprinkles.

Step 3: Pendant’s Tools & Supplies

Required Material:
  • Rotary tool
  • Drill bit
  • Cutting plier
  • Round needle nose plier
  • Mixing bowl
  • Syringe (without needle)
  • Wooden stir stick
  • Lighter
  • Beer cap
  • Sprinkles
  • Resin
  • Jewelry Wire
  • Necklace cord

Step 4: Pendant

  1. Choose a beer cap. I chose mine by its colour. I think that bright colours fit better in this project. You can choose your cap by your favourite beer or logo too.
  2. Find a drill bit with the same size as the jewelry wire and drill a hole on the beer cap.
  3. Cut the wire, bend it at one end to remain on the beer cap (mine has a nail head, so I didn’t have to do this) and pass it through the hole.
  4. With the round needle nose plier bend the other end of the wire to form a loop.
  5. Pour the sprinkles on the cap and rearrange the pieces as you like.
  6. With the syringe drain the mixture and pour it on the sprinkles and be careful to spread it on the inner edges of the bottle cap.
  7. Let the bubbles emerge on the surface and blow them with the flame of a lighter. Be careful not to burn the resin.
  8. Let the resin dry at least overnight on a flat, horizontal surface. To protect your project from dust, you can cover it with a bowl for some hours and then uncover it.
  9. Pass the necklace cord through the loop and you are ready to wear it!

I love how cheery these no-sew felt flower bracelets look. And it’s nice to be able to make a cute project without having to drag out my sewing machine.The trick is VELCRO® Brand Plant Ties.

Required Material:

  • Kathy’s free flower bracelet pattern
  • VELCRO® Brand Plant Ties – comes in pink, yellow, blue and green plus red at holiday time OR VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP Straps OR VELCRO® Brand Get A Grip Straps in Multi-Colored
  • Felt in assorted colors
  • Disappearing ink pen
  • Tape measure or clear plastic ruler
  • Paper scissors
  • Good fabric scissors
  • Seam ripper
  • Embroidery scissors

    How to make DIY no-sew felt flower bracelets:

    Gather your supplies. Print and cut out my free printable flower bracelet template. The free pattern is sized for kids so just increase the size on a copier if you’d like them larger.

Cut out flowers pieces in assorted felt colors. You can trace the pattern using disappearing ink pen onto the lighter colors, and for darker colors, just hold the pattern tightly to the felt and cut. No need to be perfect. You can even free-hand some pieces without using a pattern at all. See all the cute felt flower pieces for the bracelets? Now just layer them up. Cut more as needed and play around to make the cute flower stacks for the bracelets. Cut a piece 3/8″ piece of VELCRO Plant Tie as a pattern for cutting slits in the felt flower pieces. Center it on your flower piece. Mark slits above and below the pattern using a disappearing ink pen.Now it’s time to cut the bracelet slits. First I tried using fabric scissors and I overshot big time – they’re just too big for me to handle on such a small cut. So then I used a seam ripper to get the bracelet slit started on each ends and followed up with tiny embroidery scissors to cut through the middle and it worked really well. Repeat on your other flower pieces. And here are three pieces ready to become a flower. Measure your wrist and add about 1.5″-2″ to it for threading through the flower and overlap to close on your wrist. This batch of flower bracelets were for my 2-year-old Elise. Cut a piece of VELCRO® plant tie to this length. Thread the end of the VELCRO® Plant Tie strip through the slit flower layers. Felt is naturally going to stick to the VELCRO® hook (scratchy) side, so when you thread it through, try to thread it so that the felt is touching the smooth side. Go slowly so to avoid tearing a bigger slit into your felt. Thread the flower onto the VELCRO® Plant Tie so that it’s almost in the middle of your Plant Tie — remember that you cut some extra for overlap so it should be slightly to one side. Now thread the end back through the other slit stack, which will make a cute little color in the middle of your flower. You can either try to match the color to your flower middle or choose a cute contrasting color. Now just wrap the felt flower bracelet around your wrist and overlap the VELCRO® Plant Tie to close. You can snip off any extra as needed.

DIY Vintage Style Cross Stitch Shelf

Here’s how to make this vintage cross stitch shelf! (I know you might not find a shutter like this, but you can use these steps to create something similar with other vintage finds!) I started with this old cane shutter. It was white and kind of chippy, but kind of dingy too. I wanted something a little less “worn” looking. I gave the whole thing a coat of Folk Art® Home Decor Chalk in White Adirondack. It only took one coat, I just wanted to freshen things up. After drying I brushed on the wax and now it has a pretty sheen too. Yay! I couldn’t find brackets in a color I liked so I picked up white glossy metal brackets and painted them with the Folk Art Home Decor Chalk in Summer Porch. It’s the most delicious color of yellow. They got a coat of wax too. I knew that I wanted to use a light floral sheet to cover my top shelf. I cut a length of 8″ wide pine to the same length as my shelf. I covered that in one coat of the White Adirondack as well. I didn’t wax it though, since it was going to be covered with fabric.

Now it was time to start stitching! I have a free cross stitch pattern for you here – you can use it on something similar or even on a regular cross stitch project.

I used two strands of yarn on each stitch, since the cane was so big one strand of yarn didn’t fill the space enough. Cross stitch just as you would on fabric, but try to keep your yarn on the back from showing through the cane.

I stitched a floral pattern in colors similar to the fabric I was using on the top of the shelf.

So fun right?

Onto the top shelf! To cover the shelf I cut a section from one of my favorite vintage sheet patterns. I cut it so that it would overlap on the back and sides just a bit. To cover the shelf, apply a layer of Mod Podge on the top portion of the shelf and lay the fabric in place. Smooth it down so there are no wrinkles.

Repeat for the front edge and bottom of the sheet, once the top is dry. Trim the back edge so that the fabric will overlap on the back side, without wrapping around to the bottom or top. Mod Podge the back edge down as well.

For the sides, I trimmed the fabric so the bottom didn’t cover the whole short side and mod podged it down. Then for the top and sides, I folded them envelope style and wrapped them around to the bottom. I trimmed the fabric so the edge would be covered by the bracket. That way everything looks nice and tidy and you don’t have any raw edges showing.

Once everything was dry it was time for assembly!

I placed the shelf on the shutter and marked the bracket holes with a pencil. For the underside of the shelf, I trimmed off the fabric in a circle around the mark with an Exacto knife and removed the fabric so it wouldn’t get all twisted up with the drill. I screwed the bracket in place and covered the screws with Summer Porch paint to make it all blend together.

I think it is such a fun piece and I’m going to love having it my studio. It’s so bright and colorful!

How to Make Paper Dahlia Flowers

Paper Dahlia Flowers are easy to make, look fantastic on any wall, and they are an easy craft to get the kids involved in making!

How to Make Paper Dahlia Flowers:

Required Material:

  • 10 Sheets of 8.5″ x 11″ ASTROBRIGHTS PAPERS per flower {I did 4 layers on each flower. The biggest layer took 4 sheets, the next layer took 3, then 2 and then the center took 1 sheets.}
  • Scissors
  • Pen
  • Low Temp Glue Gun
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Cardboard

1. Cut a 6.5″ circle out of cardboard. I used a bowl and pen to trace a circle on the cardstock and then cut it out with scissors. 2. Use your paper trimmer to cut your colorful paper into rectangles. I cut all pieces of paper into 4.25″ x 5.5″, which is basically an 8.5×11 into fourths. My 4 year was great at helping me cut the papers. I would measure and then he loved to run the blade across to cut it. 3. Then roll your pieces of paper into cone shape with a point in the center of one end and use a small dot of glue to hold in place. If you have kids helping you, I very highly recommend using a low temperature glue gun. Glue gun burns are not fun! 4. Then I started glueing the first layer of cones all the way around the edge of the cardboard circle. The next layer I glued the cones around a little inside of the outer layer, without cutting or trimming them. For the third layer, I trimmed off about 2-3″ off the cone before gluing them on. And then for the center, I cut off the tips of the cones and glued them into the center of the flower. I love the texture and color these bright, happy paper Dahlia flowers offer as Easter Decor! My kids love looking at them

DIY Handmade No Sew Felt Flowers With Twigs

These DIY no sew felt flowers are the perfect homemade Mother’s Day gift – and the best part is, is that they’ll never wilt or die! Required Material:

  • Felt in various colors for the flowers
  • Green Felt
  • Twigs
  • hot glue gun
  • hot glue
  • scissors
  • pencil
  • buttons
  • lids or a circle template — we used 3″ and 6″ in diameter

 

DIRECTIONS:

To make a flower with button: Cut 8 round 3″ circles out of felt – 4 of one color and 4 of another color.

Fold the circle in half and in half again to create a quarter circle. Apply hot glue to the folded edges of one circle and attach it to the folded edge of another circle. Repeat until all four quarter circles are connected to create one circle.

Do the same with the second color of felt, and glue the two flowers together. Attach a gold button in the center of the flower with hot glue

To make a rose, cut a 6″ diameter circle out of felt. Spiral cut the felt about 3/8″ wide. Roll up the felt from the center outward. Affix with hot glue at the end.

To make the “mum” flowers, Cut a piece of felt 12″ x 2.5″ and fold in half. Secure the seam if necessary with little dabs of hot glue. Cut slits at the fold about 1/2″ apart. Being careful not to cut through the entire flower. Roll from one end, and hot glue together as you go.

To make small buds: Cut 3-3″ circles and fold into quarters. Glue the three quarters together into a triangle like shape.

Fold 9×2 or 12×2.5 rectangle in half lengthwise. Like a hot dog bun. Cut slits into the fold. About 3/8″ apart but not going all the way through the fold. Kind of like making fringe. But it’s on the fold. When finished making flowers, cut out leaf shapes. Affix to flowers with hot glue.  Add stick stems.

DIY beautiful brooches “Basket with flowers”

Today I want to show you the production of a small brooch in the form of a basket with flowers.

Required Material:

– cutting beads brown №12, №10 beads round brown beads round number 9 red (instead of white in the photo);

– crystal beads 4 and 6 mm;

The first thing we draw the sketch. Separately traceable basket and playground for flowers.

Heavy wire arches handle baskets. We attach a form for her to handle lay between the parts of the pattern.

Place cut reserve bottom, wind a couple of times with a plaster. After that I paint detail golden acrylic paint (you can not paint if the beads are not very different from the color of this part).

Red felt cut-outs platform for colors, glue parts to the base for embroidery.

Sheathe small beads basket handle, starting from the bottom corner ledge surround is obtained

Rascherchivaem cells basket, fill them with embroidery.

Due to different directions of embroidery in the cells it creates the effect that the wicker basket.

Now fill the basket leaves, flowers and crystal beads Carefully cut off the excess felt. Sticking a piece of cardboard inside out – for rigidity.

The skin incision is made and a piece of threaded fastener into it for a brooch. Skin sticking buckle and cut off the excess.

The upper edge of the flowers I sheathe red beads on the scheme 1.

Sides and bottom of the basket – small brown in Scheme 2.

Between embroidery and edge I stayed clearance. To close it, I’m doing another series of beads around the embroidery. Now go to the decor of the handle. To do this, attach a length of thin wire in the corner of the pen close to the embroidery, dial the wire beads and wrap the handle. And the final touch – add a few leaves on top. Brooch ready.

That’s all!

I hope my idea is useful to you. 🙂
