PRETTY MACAROONS

Pretty Crochet Macaroons

Is there anything sweeter than lovely macarons? Well, I dont think so,
thats why I made a crocheted version of this fantastic pastry.

This is what you need:
Yarn in two pastel colours
Crochet hook
Some wadding
You first need to make the two halfs of the
macaron. Choose one of the colours and
work both sides with the same colour. The
pattern is worked in spirals, so there is no
slip-stitch on the end of each round. You
may use a mark to see, where the current
round started.
Start with a Magic Ring made of 5 stitches
Rnd 1. * inc * (10sts)
Rnd 2. *sc, inc * (15 sts)
Rnd 3. * sc 2 ,inc * (20 sts)
Rnd 4. * sc 4,inc * (24 sts)
Rnd 5. *sc around * (24 sts)
Rnd 6. * sc, dc * (16 sts)
Rnd 7. * sc, dc * (11 sts)
Fasten off and fill both halfs with wadding.
Do not stuff too much wadding in, you
want to keep your macarons soft. Then
sew them together with the second
coloured yarn.
HOW TO:
CLEAN A DEMIJOHN
As you know, decoration using this
little glass containers are a trend
these days. You can find new ones
in some dcor shops, but since they
are vintage items (demijohns have
long been used as containers for
fluids such as water or wine) you
can also find them in flea markets.

If you find a real used demijohn it

will most likely come full of dirt
and probably also with wine or
water marks inside. Sometimes
cleaning those marks can be a very
difficult job, so here is a useful
trick to properly clean a demijohn.
Materials:
- Dirty Demijohn
- Water
- Vinegar
- Eggshells

How-To:

1. Empty half bottle of vinegar inside the

demijohn if you have a regular size unit, or a
whole bottle in case you have one of the big
ones. Add hot water until you fill up the
demijohn. Then leave it there for two days so
that the cleaning mix works its magic.
2. Two days later empty the mix and repeat
the whole process again. Fill it up with vinegar
and hot water, and leave it for two more days.
3. Partially empty the demijohn and leave a
small portion of the mix in the bottom. Add
eggshells, close the nozzle, and start shaking
gently. The friction of the eggshells with the
interior of the demijohn will clean any remaining
mark in the inside, as a kind of scrubber. They
will scratch and pull away the dirt marks.
4. Once the demijohn is clear inside, further
clean it with neutral soap and water until the
vinegar odor goes away.
5. Leave the demijohn outdoors and let it dry
for 2 days. After that, your demijohn should be
ready!!
6. If you want to add an extra bohemian
touch to your unit, dry out some flowers and use
the demijohn as a big flowerpot.
 PRETTY PASTEL

GIFT BAGS
These gift bags are a cute and easy way to make your gifts
extra pretty in only a few minutes . As a basis I used some
colourful paper bags I still had in my stash . I then layered
some tags , a doily and those sparkly glitter bags and
attached them all with a small wooden clothes peg to the
gift bag . And that s basically it !
KATHLEEN - SCATTERED CONFETTI
The glitter bags
For the glitter bags I recycled the
cellophane packaging from some
of my scrapbooking supplies (but
you can find them with many
other products as well).

First, I filled the bags with some

glitter, sequins and wood veneer
pieces.
When I was done, I used my
sewing machine to stitch up the
bags, a bit below the actual sticky
closure/seal (I have no clue what
the right word is for that ;) ) and
then cut off the sticky part.

If you use fine glitter, bags that

are already completely closed on
one side are best. Then you only
need to sew up one end which
can then be the one at the top
so you wont scatter glitter all
over yourself or the recipient of
the gift ;)

Of course you can fill the bags

with anything that you like and
that fits the occasion. You could
even put in a small photo of the
recipient to personalise the bag
some more!
This could be used for a birthday,
an anniversary or also a small gift
just because!

Hama Bead
coasters
With Fanny Schtze
You will need:
Midi Sized Hama Beads
Bead Boards
Greaseproof Paper/Baking Parchment
An Iron
Important: Hama Beads are a potential choking
hazard not suitable for under 36 months.Ironing of
designs should only be done by an adult.
How to:
1. Place beads of your choice on to the pegboard
dictated by your design plan.
2. When happy with the arrangement place the board
on to an ironing board or covered flat surface.
3.. Cover the bead arrangement with the greaseproof
paper, ensuring that all beads are covered (you don't
want them to melt to your iron).
4. With your iron set to hot, iron your creation
carefully but firmly. Move the iron gently from side to
side in a smooth slow movement until the beads begin
to fuse. You should begin to see the beads through the
ironing paper.
5. When you think the beads have all fused (holes
should still be visible in the centres), carefully lift the
corner of the Hama Ironing Paper. If any beads begin to
lift then replace the paper and iron for a few more
seconds.
6. Leave to cool on the board for a few seconds and
then remove paper.
7. Remove the Hama Bead Craft from the board. It is
recommended that you now turn it over, replace the
ironing paper and repeat the ironing process once more
on the reverse side to give your creation more
durability. Placing it under a heavy book or similar for a
few minutes after this will help it to cool absolutely flat.

FOLDING

HEART
PLACEMATS
with Ella & Nesta and Ombretta
How about making summer Heart Table Mats that you
can fold into an envelope shape and put a serviette
and cutlery inside? Take your folding Heart Table Mats
to a picnic or use them to eat out on the terrace: they
are easy to carry and useful for keeping cutlery tidy
and clean day!
Why not add a special touch by hanging one of the
printable tags (Click to download view free downloads
by Ombretta @ A Sunday morning with) on the
button that closes the mat envelope. You can write
the name of your guest on the tag to make a "place
card" to take home as a souvenir of a special day!
Here is what you will need to make the Folding
Heart Table Mat:
(click to download and..)Print the Heart shaped
template (by Ombretta @ A Sunday morning
with) enlarging by 20%
Two fabrics for the front of the Mug Rug:at least
16x 15 (about 41cm x 38cm) and 8.5x 5(about
21.6cm x 12.7cm for the "flap"of the envelope)
Fabric for the back of the Table Mat: at least 16 x
15 (about 41cm x 38cm)
Cotton Batting
Two buttons
Elastic ribbon
How to:
To start, print the Heart shaped template,
enlarging by 20%. Trace the heart shape on the
fabric for the front of the table mat. Trace the
flap shape leaving the fabric wider than
needed. Sew the two fabrics for the front
together using a 1/4 inch seam allowance
(about 6.4mm). Iron the seam open. Now, using
the template, cut off the excess "flap" fabric.

Cut the fabric for the back of the Heart Mug

Rug using the template. Place the pieced fabric
for the front of the table mat onto the fabric
for the back, right sides together. Now place
on top of the batting. Sew around the edge
leaving an opening for turning. Cut off the
excess batting and then cut little notches along
the seam allowance, in particular on the curves
and at the top centre of the heart. Trim the
point of the heart.

Turn right side out through the opening and

iron.
Top stitch around the whole heart. Following
the guide lines on the template for folding the
heart into an envelope, sew three lines. You
can use an erasable pen for fabric to draw the
lines to use as guides for sewing in exactly the
right position.

Check the position of the buttons and then sew

one button at the centre top of the heart,
placing the elastic ribbon underneath before
sewing into place. Then sew the second button
near the point of the heart.

Your table mat is ready! Fold it into an

envelope and slip a serviette and cutlery inside.
Cut out one of the printable tags and tie it to a
button using a strip of matching fabric to make
a place card.
Also included in this tutorial is a fun decorated
Folding Heart Envelope to print and use for
special messages.

STAMPED
NAPKINS
WITHCLAIREFROMHEARTHANDMADEUK
You will need:
Plain Napkins
Strawberry Stamps (click to
view my favourites)
Red and Green Ink
An Iron

How to:
Make sure your plain napkin has
been ironed and is completely
flat.
Get your favourite strawberry
stamp and carefully dab the red
ink onto the strawberry body of
the stamp. Press firmly on your
stamp (without the leaves) and
create a random pattern across
the napkin.
Then you will dab the green ink
carefully onto the leaf part of
the strawberry stamp and
carefully line up your leaves to
the body of the strawberry. If it
doesn't come out perfect then
don't worry. I think it adds to
the charm! Continue to
carefully add your leaves to all
stawberries and when your ink
dries, press it with an iron on a

Loli Hernandez
Loli Hernandez
To make the strawberries.
Step 1 - Make a little ball of pink
wool. Make straight stitches right
through the surface to do the
strawberries seeds.
Step 2 - For the strawberry leaves
you must turn the ribbon on itself,
like doing a little curl. Do three curls
in opposite ways and stitch the
center of it, so that the leaves get
firm. Then, with a green threat stitch
it to the top of the fruit.
How to make the bouquet wrap:
Step 1 Cut a square of about 7
inches each side. The suggested
fabric is linen.
Step 2 - With the pink wool make
little lazy daisy stitches and put one
green straight stitch on the top of
the fruit. Repeat all over the fabric.
Step 3 With a different color of
wool make straight stitches all over
de edges.
Step 4- Wrap the fabric like a cone,
tie it with wools and Voil! There
you have your strawberries

You will also need to

make sure you have
access to a printer
for this!

You Will Need:

Embroidery Hoop
Vellum Paper
Glue
Washi Tape
String/Thread
Butterfly Clip Art
Sharp Scissors
How to:

There are very few

steps to this project so
it will be finished pretty
quickly!

Select your favourite

butterfly clip art, print it
onto vellum paper and
use your sharp scissors
to cut them out
carefully.

Add a dollop of glue to

the embroidery hoop
and attach a length of
string. Create a small
line of glue down the
body of your butterflies
and run the string down
the body and allow to
dry. For large
butterflies, they may tilt
forward. Simply glue a
small bit of string to
and from the tip of each
wing.
Repeat the process as
much or as little as you
want, I went round 4
times.
In the last step of this process, you have to grab
your washi tape and carefully wrap it around your
embroidery hoop. The hoop should be the perfect
width for the tape. Be careful not to get your
butterflies tangled up! Enjoy & share your projects!

right and left.

STEP 5
5.- I have made this little bunch with four
different types of flowers:

5.1.-First of all, I have tied a very thin green

floral wire to the first and to the last flowers
leaving some space in between; these flowers
are the same, type 1, they are the ones that
determine the width of the pattern. 5.2.-Then, I
have tied flower type 2 towards one side 5.3.-
and type 3 and 4 in the middle.
Notice that type 3 and 4 are the same, but in
different colours.

5.4.- Repeat this step three more times, at the

end you should have four little bunches of
flowers.

STEP 6
Tie the four little bunches of flowers in the most
important parts of the crown, up and down, left
and right; do it with a very thin wire.
 STEP 7
Add the type 1 flowers to the rest of the crown;
make sure to cover the rest of the aluminium craft
wire to avoid empty spaces.

Tip 1: It is important to
use flowers with a bit of
stem to be able to tie
them.
Tip 2 : Sometimes
flowers fall from the
stems, to avoid this use
some transparent nail
polish in the joints.

STEP 8
Fix the details: add some leaves and
flowers, glue some leaves together
with silicone and remember that if you
want to add flowers you have to do it
in a symmetrical way on the four sides.
Done, enjoy your one of a kind

Ikea Curtain Hooks (clips) along and ended up with before pouring.
Container (for mixing) too much miture!
For this step, you need one set
of pliars to hold the hook in
one position, with the other
set of pliars you will bend the
large hook until it is
straight-ish. Once it is
straight-ish you will be using
the pliars to create a smaller
hook.
You do this by grabbing the tip
and turning the pliars in a
clockwise direction.This
creates a tiny hook that is
suitable to go inside the
concrete.
IThe hook needs to be smaller
instead of straight wire,
because with staright wire you
run the risk of it just sliipping
out of the concrete and then
you have a pretty smashed
concrete strawberry on your
floor!
Arrange your hook in your
strawberry mould as such. (My
mould was for creating
strawberry ice cubes and had a
dip within the mould that was
perfect to lay the hook down
without making it awkward.
 Now it's time to pour your cement! I used an old cocoa powder
tub so I could squeeze a little spout to make easy pouring. Pour
slowly and evenly. This is easier to do when the cement mix is a
little thicker. Allow to dry for about 24 hours. Carefully peel your
mould back when it''s fully set.. Now it's time to apply your
primer. When the primer is dry you can paint! Because the
mould created a 3d strawberry the pieces are easy to paint.
And now, it's perfect to use at your summer picnic table on
your favourite table cloth.

You Will Need: Prepare your bead board and arrange your beads to make the
Hama Beads front of the house, the side of the house (with windows and
Hama Bead Board flowers) and two roof panels. When you're happy with the
arrangement, place the board on to an ironing board or
Greaseproof paper
protected flat surface.Cover the arrangement with the
Hot Iron greaseproof Paper, ensuring that all beads are covered.....
With your iron set to hot and
without steam, iron your beads
firmly but carefully. Move the
iron gently with smooth slow
movement until the beads start
to fuse.
When the beads are beginning
to melt you should be able to
see them through the
greaseproof paper.

When you think the beads

have all fused together (the
holes of the beads should still
be visible in the centres),
carefully lift the corner of the
greaseproof paper to test and if
any beads begin to lift then
replace the paper and iron for a
few more seconds.

Leave to your beads to cool on

the board for a few seconds
and then remove greaseproof
paper.

Remove the Hama Bead Craft

from the board. It is
recommended by Hama that
you turn your creation over,
replace the ironing paper and
repeat the ironing process
once more on the reverse side
to give your creation more
durability. Placing it under a
heavy book or similar for a few
minutes after this will help it to
cool absolutely flat.
