I sewed my first bi-fold wallet! The wallet you see above was made from start to finish following this tutorial by Modest Maven: http://modestmaven.blogspot.com.br/2012/02/bi-fold-wallet-tutorial.html

Some of the instructions (how to crease to make the card pockets) weren't super clear, so if you try the tutorial and have a hard time, send me an email and I'll be happy to help! :) [email protected]

My next project is going to be to make a longer bi-fold wallet, sort of like a clutch, that can hold your cellphone. That way you can bring everything you need with you in one wallet!

Check out this handmade feather tutorial! I think these are just so cute. And there are so many ways to decorate them! You can use them as present toppers, earrings, pendants, etc! Enjoy. :) Full tutorial here: http://www.infarrantlycreative.net/2012/05/handmade-feather-tutorial.html

Polaroid wall art! Very easy to do. Pick your favorite photos and upload them on PicMonkey. Then, edit them by clicking on the frames option, "Polaroid Frame" and changing the degrees of the photo to 0. Repeat for all of your photos, then print and cut them. You can buy mini-clothespins at the dollar store and metal clips at most craft stores. Have fun, send me a photo of your own wall art! I'm working on mine now. :)

What a fun DIY project! A summer to do list. Easily change this into any other time of list, such as: Goals, ideas, etc!

All you need is a tall frame, scrapbook paper or other and a *reusable marker* (the ones to write on whiteboards) to write on the glass. Full instructions can be found here: http://eighteen25.blogspot.ca/2010/06/summer-to-dos.html

Decorative arrows! I fell in love with these. Perfect for the Hunger Games lovers. Every arrow can be unique! Mix and match washi tape, fabric scraps or paint with an assortment of feathers (real feathers, felt, printed or drawn). For the full tutorial click here: http://modernkiddo.com/?p=4117#

Am I the only one who remembers how much fun playdough was? I could sit at the table for hours making animals, houses, using cookie cutters... I'm sure if you made a fresh batch and had a few friends over, you'd all turn into 6 year olds again heheh :)
