Link Love: Projects for Your Patio

June 13, 2013 by FaveCrafts

It’s party time! The Fourth of July is just weeks away and summer is in full swing, which means it’s time to head outside. There are so many little touched you can add to your outdoor space, whether it’s big or small. Seek out inexpensive planters and party supplies at your local home goods store – you can always add paint, string, yarn and other touches to create a one-of-a-kind craft.

In general, the more colorful the craft project, the more it will stand out. Simply applying paint to a plain clay pot can add a touch of sunshine to an otherwise boring piece. A Floraled Flower Pot doesn’t require a lot of skills or expertise to make, but the results are sure to put a smile on your face.  Paper crafts can also perk up your space during the warm summer months. Patio Paper Lanterns make great decorations during a summer cookout. Best of all, they don’t take long to make, so you can create a bunch and place them all around your deck. Once you’ve decorated your space with a few items, it’s time to focus on comfort. Crochet a few Easy Patio Pillows to place on uncomfortable patio furniture. Guests will love relaxing with your DIY creations and might now want to leave (you’ve been warned)!

This weekend, throw a party outside and enjoy the summer sun. Even a small gathering will help create memories that last long after the season is over.

Help a Reader: Sewing and Crochet Queries

April 1, 2011 by FaveCrafts

Every now and then, everyone could use a helping hand.  Ready to lend your assistance?   Below you’ll find a few readers in need.  If you feel you can help or have any suggestions, please post your answer in the comments. Please try to supply instructions and/or links.

Sharon asks,
Is it difficult to move a front zipper to the back in a womens’ pants pattern?

Rochelle asks,
My mother has a 25 inch doll (head to toe) that sits in a rocking chair and I would like to make it a dress. How do I know what size to make for it. I have seen some nice patterns in knitting and crochet but not for a 25 inch doll. Can you help?

Bonnie asks,
I am attempting to find a tool that is used to pull the thread from braid to braid as I construct a braided rug. Using a needle and thread is a very slow and sometimes painful way of attaching the braids to each other and I recall that there is another method of doing this. Will appreciate any information that is available.
