Craft Notes 9/1/2024

Greetings! Yay, it’s a new month so I am starting several new projects today!

First off I am going to start 2 new recycled denim quilts with my sister’s old jeans. I will be using the blankets to either stuff or back the blankets.

I am starting a new pair of socks with a pattern that I designed myself in my sister’s memory.

I’m also planning on knitting a pair of socks with this yarn but I will wait until the first pair is done.

I’m also planning to start a basic raglan sweater with this Brava yarn.

This month I also would like to set a goal to finish my diamond art kit!

This bottle contained the "ale" (it was actually juice) from the cakes and ale at a Lammas/Lughnasadh ritual I attended last month hosted by @divinewarriorwitches . I decided to save it.

I finally got around to painting it with sunflowers 🌻 to represent Lammas/Lughnasadh and I'm really happy with how it turned out. Now I have a cute seasonal/Sabbat decoration that I can also use as a small vase.

What to do with a ton of children's artwork?!

Mia comes home from school with 1-5 coloring pages every day. She also draws a ton at home, so papers were really starting to pile up. I went through the coloring book pages and picked out ones she’d done cute little drawings or writings on the backs of, then ripped up the other ones and put them in a blender with a bunch of water to make “recycled” paper. I cut out the little drawings and “words” and put them on top of the new paper and made these cute collage artworks!! I reduced our “random papers on which Mia colored” supply by about 3/4!! 😂 I was actually able to make so many of these little collages that I’m trying to figure out whether to connect them all into a poster-sized thing or send them to family, haha. They’re just so cute.

Bicycle made out of waste newspaper

[helldidntwantme]

Every time I see people use brand new paper for junk journals, handmade paper, recycling crafts etc I cringe inside. It hurts. You are missing the point. If you just want to make the thing with new things, then do that. Otherwise you are missing the point

I’ve actually achieved stuff today! I’ve been very slowly making cardboard boxes for the cubby holes in my wardrobe and they’re all finally marked out and cut out, so all that’s left is to glue them together!

Now that’s done I’ve got rid of all the unnecessary cardboard from my craft wardrobe out and done with which was there because I wasn’t sure which bits I needed until I was done. I also now feel much happier having my table available for working with resin.

I was determined not to do any resin crafts until I’d finished the cardboard boxes and now I have I can finally get down to it! I feel like it’s been ages since I did any resin and I’ve missed it a little.

Starting My 3rd Denim Quilt

Greetings! Over the last several days I have rounded up all of the old denim in my house to recycle into another denim blanket. I plan to sew another 9 patch quilt top over the summer.

I can’t believe that I have a whole tote full of old blue jeans to use. It seems like this to refills it’s self. 🤣 I do appreciate my family sharing their old jeans with me.

Now hopefully I can get these cut into 4 x 4 squares fairly fast so that I can start sewing. I dislike the cutting part and the mess that comes with it so I will do that all at once so I can enjoy the sewing process.

Idea: sew some cute little moths with scrap fabrics and sew them on holes you have on your clothes so you can keep wearing them :)

Made more stamps! I let the preschool kids use them to decorate paper to be used for Father’s Day cards.

Then I came home and let my kid go nuts on the balcony.

I made some solarpunk soda tab jewelry!! Again. And I'm making more. (Image ID at the bottom of he post)

A choker, a pair of earrings, a belt/waist chain and some bracelets using 100% thrifted/recycled materials! The choker and the bracelets have two layers so that the sharp aluminum edges on the back of the tabs aren't making contact with skin, you can kinda see it in the pictures. Here are more pictures:

[Image ID: 8 images. The first one shows a choker made out of soda tabs, with black cord weaved through it forming x shapes. There's a silver spike charm hanging from every other tab about an inch apart from each other. Im in the picture wearing the choker, my face is not in frame but my pale as fuck neck is visible and so is my dark brown hair.

The second image shows a pair of clip-on earrings laying on a sage green background. Each earring is made of 6 soda tabs weaved into a flower shape with green yarn, and three dangles hanging from the bottom. The dangles are made of a wire link with a black bead on in and a silver spike charm hanging from that. The same spike charms I used for the choker.

The third image shows a 2 ft 7 inch long belt chain made of the soda tab flowers from the earring image. Each flower is made of six tabs weaved together with the same green yarn but they yarn fades to yellow towards the end of the chain. 16 soda tab flowers are linked together with large jump rings and there are large silver clasps on each end to attach to a belt.

The forth image is my hand wearing a black compression brace and two soda tab bracelets. They are weaved together the same way as the choker, with the cord forming x shapes, but the cord is orange and not black. The bracelets are the same size, 8 inches long when laying flat including the clasp. There are two layers of soda tabs which makes the bracelet a little thicker.

The next 2 images shows a dress form wearing the belt chain from two different angles. It had a black skirt with a soda tab belt, with various spikey chains hanging from it. There's a black strip of grommet tape hanging on the right side of the belt and my soda tab flower belt chain hanging on the left side.

The next image shows one of the bracelets at and angle so the double layers are visible, and the last image shows the bracelets, the choker, and an unfinished soda tab choker with green ribbon weaved through it all laying flat on a sage green background. End ID]
