Hello, crafty people! Here are a few of the projects that have popped up on my radar this week.

The useful Japanese art of folding scarves and squares of cloth nto bags for holding a myriad of items. This can be really useful.

Here's How!

2. Toast!

Ever wanted one of those toasters that made a picture on your bread? Well, according to this project on Instructables you can! This is a slightly more complicated and techy craft.

3. Cinnacakes

This. Is. Beautiful. Now, run along and make me some!

Thank You, Recipe Girl!

4. Parachute Bracelet

Now I know that there are some guys that read my blog and are probably shaking their heads in disgust at all these "girly" projects (though i'm sure they wouldn't mind eating the above cinnacakes). Well manly men, here is a project for you. I've seen a lot of guys wearing these lately, so heres the know how.

5. Fan- (ahem) Bum Pack

Love 'em or hate 'em, I've started to see bum packs everywhere and they seem to be becoming pretty hipster. If you are one of those people who are embracing the revolution, this is the project for you.

 Thats all for today, ladies and gentleman. Craft on and see you next week!

DIY Projects of the Week

Here are just a few of my favorite DIY (Stands for DO IT YOURSELF, GOSH!) tutorials and projects floating around the internet that you should know about this week. By the way, when i say craft, that doesn't mean a jumble of Popsicle sticks and Elmer's glue.Crafting is so much more.

Some are harder than others, a few are easy enough for the least-creative minded person to do. Also, don't forget Halloween is coming up!

1. Tattoo Tights

This is a simple photograph DIY I found on Instructables.com that is similar to the fake tattoo sleeves people have been wearing lately. Simple, cheap, and will scare your mother spitless.

2.Pie On a Stick. Need I say More?

Make these in abundance and give them to me. You know you want to.

3. Sign My Shirt?

So simple, very homeschool chic. Forget jean skirts and prairie blouses, this is the season's homschooler vogue look of Fall.

This is me waiting for all the tabs to finish buffering...

4. Glitter EVERYTHING 

  

All you need is some crafty glue, glitter, and a pair of boring heels. Oh, and fumigated drying area. The glitter hallucinations aren't purty.

5.Yes. That is a Face on my Plate.

You might have seen these novelty plates at places like Fred and Friends but all you need is a porcelian marker like the one in this tutorial and you can make your own designs and gifts. You can try drawing and tempering  your plate in the oven after using a sharpie but the paint will wear off after a few good washes.

Note: You aren't limited to plates! Cups, mugs, bowls, trays, whatever. Here is some inspiration:

                             

Now, go forth and craft!
