Plastic Bottle Lights Tutorial

I whipped these Plastic Bottle Lights awhile ago and use them on my tent when I do craft shows & it seems to draw the folks in then they meet me and never leave lol! Just kidding but they are intrigued by the lights nonetheless & always ask me how I made them. I'm sure you could figure it out by looking at them how to make them but I put together a little step by step just for those who might need a visual. I even did a video tutorial but it doesn't want to upload to blogger so I am taking that as a sign that I should! Oh and the very very best part of these lights is that they are Solar!!

This is a booth I did last year with my friend Wendy @ RecycledLps.com

Video Tutorial on how to Make a Flower from a Plastic Bottle!

Clutch Template

There is a Clutch project in my book but in this first round of printing the template didn't come out in the book~ it was too light and maybe not even there but I swear I can see it~ maybe:) Anyway here is the template. All you need to do is enlarge it 125% or you can make it whatever size you like. Cut a piece of fused plastic from each of the templates and sew them together around the bottom. Add Velcro to the flap to keep your stuff inside!

Check out my YouTube Video on how to Fuse Plastic!

Meat Tray Garland How To!

I wasn't the one to come up with this but I saw a picture of it somewhere but not sure where to give credit were credit is due so sorry about that~ It was just a picture not a how to if that means anything!

What to do with those handy little meat trays? you could use them for paints but I don't paint very often and they just seem like they could have some other helpful use besides holding Meat but I have yet to find one until now! MEAT TRAY GARLAND!! I believe garland is not just for the holidays but to make every day a festive day!

1)Gather your meat trays ~ they do come in an array of colors but I used white for my first go at it.
2)Now tear the tray up in to pieces, no need to be perfect just tear away, I used 3 meat trays for this one and it fit across my front 2 windows.
3)Now that you have all these pieces floating around time to wrangle them in! thread a sewing needle and start threading the pieces on.


4) once you have them all threaded on you could stop and be done but I wanted mine to have some sparkle so I sprayed the garland with acrylic spray and sprinkled with glass glitter~ I then coated with acrylic again to make sure the glass glitter stuck and was sealed on!

Ta-Da~~


You can use egg cartons, lg McDonald's cups are Styrofoam, etc..
