Scrap Fabric Streamer Tutorial

Make your porch a little more festive for that next summer BBQ!

This is a simple project to use up those small scraps of fabric you might have lying around. Looks great displayed a variety of ways—hanging straight down, wrapped around banisters, or hung the same way you'd hang bunting/banners.

If you try this project out for yourself tell us about it in the comments, or post photos on the Designosaurus Facebook page!

Materials:

Scrap fabric

Twine/string (about 8" longer than what you want the final size of your streamer to be)

Beads (solid glass beads, or a similar heavy type of bead works best)

Scissors

Ruler

Supplies for Sale with Free Shipping!

I buy a lot of art supplies for various projects, but a lot of the time don't use the entire package. Some of this stuff I've had for over 5 years, and if I haven't used it up yet, I'm probably not going to.

In that case, I'd like to pass along these supplies to you, it would be a shame for then to just go to waste!

My studio needs to get organized, and to do that I need to get rid of this stuff, so it's all priced super cheap, plus free shipping! These listings will only be up for 1 month, then I'm getting rid of the stuff, so act fast.

More jewelry supplies will be posted sometime in the next week, but for now these supplies are available at Designosaurus on Etsy.

Transition from Halloween to Thanksgiving

Here's a simple way to transition decorations from Halloween to Thanksgiving...

Many of us decorate with gourds, sugar pumpkins and small pumpkins at the start of fall and Halloween, after all they are beautiful on their own and a great, natural way to decorate all the way through Thanksgiving.

But what if you want to switch it up a bit? With a little metallic paint you can embellish your gourds for a chic, new look!

Make your gourds last longer by keeping them outside until Thanksgiving day, then bring them inside to decorate the table or other places where your guests can enjoy them.
