Glee Slushie Cupcakes

glee_cupcakes.jpg

Check it out! Glee-inspired slushie cupcakes that Tamara (Athens, GA) of Cupcakes by Tamara made for her Glee second season premiere party last fall. The red sanding sugar on top makes it looks just like a cold, sweet slushie. Very clever. She also made Cheerio-Marshmallow-Chocolate lollipops, and ... she bought a bright blue Adidas track jacket to wear to the party, � la Sue Sylvester.

How-To: Mini Nutella Cheesecakes

I know what you're thinking: "Enough with Nutella already!" I keep wondering when I'll get tired of drooling over various Nutella recipes, and then I see something like these mini Nutella cheesecakes from Bakers Royale and realize ... probably not any day soon. It also doesn't hurt that they "are extremely easy to make." If you're like me and can't get enough Nutella goodness, be sure to check out our full Nutella round-up page.

Cloverfield Knitting Pattern for Toddler Cardigan

Vickie Howell has a free toddler knitting pattern on Petite Purls to make this Cloverfield girl's cardigan.

Vickie writes:

Cloverfield (named after my daughter, Clover) is inspired by our city in the Springtime, and busy mamas who rarely have time to do a lot of seaming. Worked in one piece from the bottom up, you'll see this cute little cardi come to life right before your eyes. Oh, and I'm thrilled that it's the debut design knit in Sheep(ish), the first yarn in my new line with Caron International, Stitch.Rock.Love!

The Rainbow Project

rainbowproject.jpg

The one good thing that's come out of the disaster in Japan is the wonderful and creative relief efforts people are launching all over the world. (See Lish's post, Crafters Come Together for Japan Relief Efforts.) I really like the Rainbow Project as well. The idea is simple: "By uploading your own photograph of a rainbow and making a donation, you will connect with communities around the world. Each photograph that is uploaded will become part of unified rainbow and as we go along, these images will be collaged together, forming one harmonious rainbow that represents cosmic solidarity." I particularly like the drawn rainbows and the rainbow eyeshadow image! I'd love to see more crafty rainbows (cake! scarves! felt!).

Etsy and NASA Space Craft Contest Winners

We are extra excited over the recent announcement of the Etsy and NASA Space Craft Contest winners because our own crafty space geek Rachel Hobson won in the 2D Original category for her High Texture Hand Embroidery of the Moon. Rachel's handmade piece will be going into space for the next shuttle launch! I still remember when Rachel was working on it and took it out of her little lunch box to show me the detail work she was doing. It wasn't completely done at the time but I just remember being completely amazed at how she created such depth and shape through simple embroidery floss.

From Universe Today:

Rachel said she was inspired to capture the gorgeous textures and geologic attributes of the Moon in hand embroidery, as "the moon has always served as artistic and scientific inspiration for humankind. It's easily recognizable, and is a comforting, welcome sight in our sky. Its violently beautiful craters remind us what an active place our solar system is. When I observe the Moon through my telescope, I literally get weak in the knees."

Congrats to our dear friend and colleague Rachel! We are so proud of you!


Northstartable

The Grand Prize Winner and Best of Show is the Northstar Table by Colleen and Eric Whiteley who will receive a $500 Etsy shopping spree and an all-expenses-paid trip with a guest to attend the shuttle launch at Kennedy Space Center in Florida as NASA's VIP guests. Find out all the winners of the contest on Etsy.com.

Lamps from Discarded X-Mas Trees

flume-et-al-2.jpg

Discarded Christmas trees are a blight on Brooklyn curbs in January, even well into February. Local designers in et al. collaborative took it upon themselves to turn these dead decorations into something more lovely, and came up with these lamps called fLume.

Influenced by themes of revival, nostalgia and nature, the trees have been returned to the focal point of light in the home as lamps. et al.'s found materials come not only from holiday trees, but also fallen from storms, and discarded from landscaping projects. Each of the trees is carefully stripped of its branches and pine needles, which are donated to a neighboring rooftop garden for mulch. The fLume lamps are minimalist and organic, staying true to form. The pieces are intended for display according to what suits their natural shape; table top, hanging and floor standing. Each piece is one of a kind and uses exposed filament bulbs of various shapes and sizes.

I shared it with my fellow editors here at Craft, and we were all drooling over his work. I'm thrilled to see this project from him for Design*Sponge. He gives step by step instructions, coupled with beautiful photographs, for creating a woven leather stool.

How-To: Garlic Knots

We are a bread-loving family, and nothing seems to compliment a big salad and tossed pasta like some yummy, warm garlic bread. I always think of garlic knots as something we'd only get at a restaurant, but Maria from Make and Takes shows how easy it is to whip them up at home using ready-made rolls. I love finding things that will make me look like a rock star cook to my kids (because I am so not a rock star cook) and this quickie recipe will do just that.

Inexpensive Baby Shower Invitations

CRAFT: Feast and Frolic

babyshowerinvite.jpg

The Handmade Detroit gals are throwing a party instead of a baby shower for our friends Bethany and Dan Nixon next month. Their son's room has an animal theme, so instead of making invitations with baby booties and umbrellas, we went with an Anna Griffith vintage circus scrapbook paper scheme. Using a box of pre-made blank cards from the craft store, I simply rounded the corners of the cards and the scrapbook paper and secured with double-sided tape. A blue name tag label was used on the front of the envelopes to call attention to it in the mail. Total for the cards for 40 invitations - about $12.

Make a Book a Day

Woah, great project! Make a Book a Day:

I'm Donna Meyer and this is a Daily Journal of a Challenge: to make a book a day for a year, to stretch my imagination, creativity, skills and discipline. Inspired by Noah Scalin's Skull-a-Day. Why books? A book can be made of almost anything, and I can stretch its definition. Some will be fancy, skilled and take time. Others will be quick-&-dirty, maybe just images, or ephemeral, disappearing books. Follow along. We'll discover together how to create a book a day for 365 days.

[Thanks, Johngineer!]

Open MAKE, THIS Saturday, March 19, 10am - 2pm, at the Exploratorium

It's that time again for the monthly Open MAKE/Young Makers program at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, CA. This month's theme is Metal and Wire. The Featured Makers will be interviewed by MAKE's Dale Dougherty in the McBean Theater between 1-2pm. They'll be talking about their work and process, and taking questions from the audience. Makers include:

  • Tim Hunkin has set up shop inside the Tinkering Studio, and will share his humble beginnings.
  • David Cole will bring an amazing chain-making machine
  • Jay Broemmel will talk about mutant bicycles
  • Sam DeRose and Alex Jacobson from the Young Makers program will talk about learning how to build a fire-breathing dragon!

And, between 10am and 2pm, other Bay Area makers and Tinkering Studio staff will be sharing build activities with the public, including how to build scribbling machines and how to create electronic circuits. For a full list of activities and more info, see the Open MAKE: Metal/Wire page at Tinkering Studio.

Papier-Mache Teacup Pattern

annwoodteacups.jpg

I realized I forgot to wear green today, but then as I thought about it, I realized that what I really associate with Ireland is TEA! So I offer you a charming papier-mache teacup tutorial instead of anything to do with shamrocks or leprechauns! I love the way the newsprint shows up through the paint, adding subtle texture. I'd love a stack of these as a centerpiece for a spring tea party! It might be fun to fill them with seedlings, and you could then plant the whole thing in the garden afterwards.
