My DIY fused plastic bag make-up case and a visit from my Adi-bug.

I don’t know if you guys know about fusing plastic bags, but I made my first one last week.

• I wanted to try it because it reuses all those plastic bags that are otherwise going to the landfill where they will rot & rot.
• How long does it take for plastic bag to decompose? Like 500-1000 years, so RE-use them my friends.

You can learn how- {here} in a video from Etsy

or written {here}

I made this like a week ago, but haven’t yet got to post pictures or anything.

I loved making it, and SO plan to make more.

Have fun & save the planet at the same time, how about that.

If you make it, don’t forget to post some pictures for us to see =)

Sewing Tutorials From Made

Made is just such an awesome site. I love all the tutorials that she shares with us.

*How to make your own pattern-

“If you're new to sewing, the best way to understand clothing construction is to actually deconstruct it. Start by looking at your clothing. Study how it's put together.”

*Freezer Paper Stenciling-

It must be actual Freezer Paper, not wax paper:

*5 easy steps to dyeing fabric-

Fabric Dyeing does NOT need to be:
Hard, Messy, Scary, Done in your washing machine, Done on your stove.
Fabric Dying CAN be:
Simple, Done in a bowl right in your sink, Fun, Experimental!

*Journal Jars

The jar contains slips of paper with a different topic on each one. So when you sit down to work on your history, pull out a slip, read the topic and don't over-think it. Just start writing what comes to your mind, based on that topic.

*The HoBo Sack

Whether you're on the road or hanging at home, every hobo needs a bag for his (or her) treasures.

*Quilted Notecards

Hope you enjoy. Don’t forget to stop at Made

Stationary Storage Holder Tutorial..☺

LARGE STATIONERY STORAGE HOLDER BY MELISSA GOODSELL

I am crazy about notebooks, I don’t exactly know when this fetish started, but I’ve had it for awhile. I can remember going into the store for something (just something little) and coming out with all kinds of notebooks, pens, and binders. SOmething about the possibilities of all that blank paper. I was on the QDF website and came across this awesome tutorial, and knew I had to share it..

I know some of you might need a little notebook organization too. ☺
