This weekend i made this peter pan bib necklace. I used flimsy felt and beads. I glued the beads on with a hot glue gun then connect the panels to each other and to chains using jump rings and pliars. Note that there are three jump rings between the panels so it lies flat. To get rings through the felt open them up and just push hard until it goes through.

Diy yarn lanterns:

My friend and i spent the day making yarn lanterns. We finally gave in to these blogosphere wonders. Here are our hints…

Use the glue mixtures that are prescribed (they are usually white glue, salt, water, cornstarch). This way it will dry clear.

Do not use straight modge podge.

Slather up your balloons with vaseline before  you start.

Pay attention to them. Some of our balloons popped as they were drying which resulted in half collapsed shapes because we didn’t catch em in time.

The yarn worked easiest, but the twine looked prettiest.

We bought everything from the dollar store.

We think the could look very cute spraypainted!
