Zerg T-shirt in 10 minutes

"I am one of the Zerg now, and I like what I am."

                                                                                                                                            (StarCraft; 1998) 

How can you make a boring blank T-shirt one of your favourites? By putting your favourite motif on it! The idea was taken from here. It’s a very fast and cheap method to obtain a new piece of clothing. My motif is the Zerg logo from the game “Starcraft”. Every motif is good as long as you like it. You don’t need to be talented in drawing. Simply search for it in Google graphics and choose a picture of a high resolution. My T-shirt has been washed many times and the motif is still of perfect quality.

What you can do with a broken mirror...

"Magic Mirror on the wall who's the fairest one of all?"

                                                               (Snow White and the Seven Dwarves; 1939)

They say that when you break a mirror, 7 years of bad luck will be upon you. But the mirror will not always burst into pieces when falling. Sometimes it can only cause the frame to break apart. You can fix it by using some glue but sometimes it’s not enough.  That’s how you get a piece of silver glass, which doesn’t look too fabulous and, what is more, you can get hurt because of its sharp edges. Not used for months, it lays somewhere you don’t look and finally, when it’s found, you decide to throw it away. I’ll show you today how you can give it a “second chance” and transform it into a cute little dressing table. The idea is mine but inspired by those photos.

Happy Easter Eggs

Today’s tutorial is all about Easter. I got the idea at haberdasher’s, when I saw those polystyrene eggs and an embroidery floss stand below it. I have worked with such eggs a long time ago but I used ribbons for decorating them. The effect wasn’t very satisfying for me and I used tons of pins. This idea, however, requires tons of white glue but it’s cheaper and really rewarding.

A vernal hair accessory

The spring is coming, so you can finally take off your winter clothes and hide them deep in your wardrobe for six months!  But your hair needs special care after winter... It was a very rough time for it. But today I can show you how you can give it more life. It won’t be about any hair conditioners or volume shampoos, but… a hair accessory.

This idea was inspired by the tutorials from a Polish book “Crochet ABC” by Helena Gawrońska. It requires the basic knowledge in crocheting. But for beginners there are some links below, where you can find some very comprehensible tutorials for basic stitches. 

Basic Crafting Kit for Big Ones and Small Ones

My first entry is going to be about various materials and tools, which are part of the basic kit that should be in your inventory (yes, yes, I know - it’s been a week and there’s still no decent tutorial – forgive me but I need some time to set everything right). They will be used in many of my tutorials. I bet that after you screen that list, you’ll see that most of them you already have close at hand :).
