DIY ~ Pillow Cases

 

This is how you make your boyfriend

TMNT Pillow Cases!

 

Tally loves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

He has sheets.

 

I found TMNT fabric and decided to make him some new pillow cases.

 

WHAT YOU NEED:

1.5 meters fabric of choice

sewing machine

thread

pinking sheers

 

Using a pillow case you already own measure your fabric leaving 4 inches extra on one end.

 

 

Sew three sides leaving one end open.

 

 

Press your seams.
 

 

Iron your top opening hem a 1/4 inch down then 2.5 inches down to create a big cuff.
 

 

Sew seam all the way around to make a clean hemmed opening.
 

 

I hope he loves them!!!

 

Cheers,

Happy Friday!!! :)

 

Today's DIY is

Tree Tags!

 

They are so simple and easy and everyone that has seen them thinks I'm "so smart".

Baahahahaha!

paint sample sheets (free at any paint store)

green or brown ink pad

confetti stars

ribbon or string

double sided tape

scissors

First take two paint sheets and tape them together so color is on both sides.

 

Then cut your paint chips in half so you have three shades on each piece.

 



Cut them into triangles.

 



Swipe each edge on a brown or green ink pad.

 



Using tape or glue, put a small star on the top of each one.

 



Add a festive comment or a  to and from area.

 

 

You can also add a looped string, but I just taped mine to my gifts :)
