Tutorial for Beanie Pacifier!

Tutorial for Beanie Pacifier!  (Makes it easier to find your Pacifier!)

Tools you will need:

1. Fabric of choice.

2. Any decoration you may want.  Example I put the "A" for my Nephew Alexander....

3.  Sewing machine

4. Batting to fill the beanie.

5. Pacifier ( I used the Green "AVENT" Soothie)

6. Hole puncher

7. Ribbon...  I used Baseball Ribbon

How to make:

1.  Cut 2 pieces of fabric same size.  You can make as big or little as you want.  I cut 6 inches in length and about 2.5 in width.

2.  After boiling my pacifier I took my hole puncher and on the handle lip part I hole punched 3 punches across the middle to slide my ribbon through.

On this paticular pic.  I messed up the hole punches.  You will want to make them more in the middle so you have more thickness on the bottom.

3.  Next I took my 2 pieces of fabric and faced the main pattern on the inside.  I pinned the pacifier with ribbon at the top middle.

4.  Next I sewed across the top as close the the lip of the pacifier as possible so you can barely see the ribbon when finished. 

5.  Next you will sew the 2 sides and leave bottom open to pull right side out.

6.  Once you have pulled through right side out, Make sure the pacifier is in place where you want it.  Should be middle....  You will now stuff with your batting.  You want it pretty stiff.

7.  Once you have batting filled to where you want, now sew across bottom with your sewing maching and use your cutter to cut off any accessive fabric.

8.  I then used my glue gun to add the letter "A".

And there you have it!  A cute fun Beanie Pacifier.  Makes a cute Baby Gift!

Teacher Appreciation "Thank You For Helping Me Grow" Necklace Tutorial

Items you will need:

-Scissors

-Choice of Cardstock Pattern paper

-Modge Podge

-Dementional Magic Modge Podge

-Small charm of choice with flat back

-E6000, Sorry not shown in my pic. of Supplies

-Round Metal Pendant.  I bought mine at Joann Fabric's in the Jewelery section on clearance for $1.97.  It is just Silver with a pattern which as you can see is covered now.

-Jump ring

-Sponge Brush, again sorry not in pic.

-Chain of choice.  Bought mine from Michaels.

-Sharpie Fine Point Marker Pen

-First I chose a pattern in my cardstock collection. 

-Then I traced my round pendant on the cardstock.

-Before cutting circle out, I used my sharpie to write my saying all the way around the circle. "Thank you for helping me grow"

-Then I cut the circle out and put a layer of modge podge onto my pendant.

-I then put my circle of cardstock on the pendant and carefully rubbed my fingers accross and around the edges.

-Next I put another layer of modge podge over the cardstock.

-Once dry I carefully start in the middle with my Dementional glaze and work my way to the outside.

-Once this is completely dry, I used the E6000 to glue my charm in the middle.

-When completely dry, I added a Jump Ring and then put on chain and then you have your awesome Teacher's Gift!!!!

Thanks for checking out my blog!  Hope you liked.  If you make one please let me know how it turned out!!!!  I am really excited for my son to give this to his teacher!!!

Tutorial on a Button Wedding Bouquet!

Items you will need:

-Floral Wire, I bought  mine a the Dollar store (Green) and painted the stems white which I will show you later.  I used 1 & 1/2 rolls.  Just depending on how big you want.

-White pearl beads.  Bought mine from Joann Fabrics.

-Obviously various buttons of choice.  Any size and color!

-Foam Bouquet.  Bought mine from Michaels for $3.99 and used of course my 40% off coupon.

-Lace funnel that goes under bouquet.  Again bought from Michaels.  $3.99 and also used my 40% on top of that.

-Any type of ribbon or material for the handle.  You can also buy handle covers from Michaels if that makes it easy! I used Felt, Satin, Pearl beaded cover and ribbon.  Also added a locket for a picture of maybe a loved one who has passed!
-P.S.  Also added a few random tiny white floweres with stones I purchased at Michaels around the bouquet. 

So now lets get started:

-I kind of layered the buttons How I wanted to wire them before hand.  As you can see in my button pic.

-Next you will start cutting pieces of wire about 7 inches long to thread through the buttons.  You will just go up and over and pull through.  Then Twist the stem tightly. 

-I started with about 20 & then painted the stems white & let dry.  Does not take long to dry.

-Once Dry I started in the middle of foam bouquet and you just want to stick in enough that it stays, but most of the white stem should be still out of foam.  I did not do this but some people dip the end in glue before putting into foam.  Just FYI!  The wire bends easy as you continue to put the buttons on you move the buttons and as they build it covers all the wiring.  As you almost fully build your bouquet some of your wiring will be smaller. 

-I also painted some just plain wire pieces with out buttons and would stick one end of the wire in the foam, fill half way with pearl beads & stick the other end back in the foam. Would form what I call a rainbow over the buttons.  You can see this in my final picture.  I did this in different spots througout the bouquet.

-When finished with the bouquet, you can put the funnel lace on it.  I recommend gluing it. 

-Now you can finish the handle how you like!!!!

Final Results
