Building a Dream

My mom told us this story when we were little. It was a rainy day at Grandma's house and we were trapped upstairs while my cousins were taking naps downstairs . The story was about this grand old house with hidden doors, revolving walls, and secret rooms. I was enchanted.

Little kids have a lot of ideas about what they are going to do when they are adults. Sleep in, watch TV all day, drive cars like Batman after a FourLoko; the list of dreams goes on and on. Me, though? All I wanted was to grow up, make money, then spend it all on building my dream house.

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.

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. 

Go Hipster Here

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