Lovely homemade buttons

i want a go at making some! there's a tutorial on making fimo beads here that could easliy be adapted. I think its a great idea for getting the exact colour and size of button that you want.

I want these

aren't these felt beads lovely and colourful. dont know what i'd do with them but i want some! here's a how to. click on pic to buy from the Etsy seller.

oh- so- cute clutch

this is the next thing that i'd like to have a go at. I saw it on Etsy. Big surprise!

i'm being very ambitious. i dont have a sewing machine and i have never done anything like it before! i just love making stuff tho even if its horrible and nobody but me could love it!

anyway it stops me thinking about food or fags for a while so its all good.

Kel just loves

the little mini denim bag that i made last night based on the woolly jumper tutorial i want to have a go at. i dont have any old wool jumpers so i used the jeans that i have been hacking into to make the infamous flowers from. then i adorned it with a flower made from minimunch's tie - just like i said i would. I'm pretty sure kel loves it lol! well somebody should - the poor little waste of material! Next time i must understand proportion better and the halterneck needs to be steep - like it says in the tutorial (silly me) otherwise its pretty hard to get any stuff in it and it is supposed to be a bag after all!

the next thing crafty thing to do

is to make a bag from a wool sweater. That means first 'felting' it. gosh i'm excited so easily! actually the first step would be to find a wool sweater.

then i want to use a tie that mini munch has put in the 'sell it on ebay' pile in the spare room. not sure what i'll do with it .. other than make a flower! like this one. God I love Etsy.

The Fabric Flower Factor

my utter obsession with making, reading about making, and blogging about making fabric flowers is a bit of a problem. well its a problem for kel. i'm loving it but it has somewhat taken over the wedding blog. and the lounge. and the dining room. (even my make-up bag has been adorned!)
so here is a compiled list of all flower mentions off the wedding blog in 1 cosy place

simple!

Munch made ..... a new blog!

The wedding blog was becoming cluttered with a million how to's on fabric flowers and other crafty things so thought i'd like my messing abouts with fabric to have their own home. and here it is.
