Fringed Woven Placemat IKEA Hack With T-Shirt Yarn
I love t-shirt yarn, and have been thinking about using it for macrame and embroidery, not just crocheting! Industrial-waste t-shirt yarn also supports eco consciousness, as it is made from odds and ends of fabric left after the pieces for making clothing is cut from the yardage. What I found after making these fringed and embroidered placemats/wall hangings is that t-shirt yarn is a great way to add color to a project that might have called for rope of some kind, and it works great for fringe, tassels (see my t-shirt yarn tassels) and more. So if you’re looking for a simple and stylish summer project, this is it! These…

Giant Origami Fruit Centerpiece IKEA Hack
What do you get when origami meets IKEA? You get a giant origami fruit centerpiece that is very budget friendly and great for large parties with lots of tables. You know like Bar Mitzvahs, and Bat Mitzvahs and budget weddings, or sheva brachas, or a community event or a large birthday party, or just about any occasion that warrants a creative touch without breaking the bank. Not every creative touch centerpiece I’ve created over the years (and believe me, there have been many) has been as sweet as this one, and best of all when the festive occasion is over you can give away the origami fruit and just keep…

DIY Wall Art From Painted Wrapping Paper
DIY wall art is all the rage, and now you can whip up some fun wrapping paper, and make something to grace your walls, all while honing your loose paining skills! There is something about fooling yourself into painting without the pressure that just plain works, so instead of setting out to paint wall art, just set out to paint some wrapping paper and very likely the results will be that much better! This week I’ve been having a go at painting some fun works of art that require really being as loose as possible with the painting strokes, and while I have yet to master the look on canvas…

T-Shirt Yarn Is Perfect For Last Minute Succah Decorations
I love t-shirt yarn, and guess what, here in my littlish town in Northern Israel a whole huge skein is the same price as a small ball of cotton rope, so I’m going for color this year in the succah! T-shirt yarn is a great way to make large pom poms and tassels or even wall hangings, lamp shades, crocheted doilies, you name it! In case you are wondering what exactly these mop like creations are, well they aren’t finished but interesting nonetheless! They are actually macrame feathers, make in the same way as the macrame leaf I shared previously, but because the t-shirt yarn is quite flimsy I’m contemplating…

Simple Macrame Leaf To Make In Any Size
I have been dreaming of stepping into the world of macrame for a good year now, and at long last here I am, sharing with you my very first macrame project, a simple macrame leaf, or depending on how you trim it, a macrame feather! I actually whipped this one up on Friday as I was cooking, as I just couldn’t wait to give it a try! A macrame leaf, or feather if you make it longer, is the perfect introduction to macrame as you work with short strands so there aren’t all those potentially tangled strings to worry about, and if you make a bunch you can use them…
