Pletenje trakice od satenske vrpce

- potrebno: satenska trakica (razne širine; ovdje je prikazano pletenje od trakice širine 6 mm), dužine barem 1 metar (ovisi koliko želite finalni proizvod i za što vam je potreban), razni ukrasni kamečići, štras, cvjetići...

1. Traku izravnajte na dvije jednake polovice i napravite "uho" kao na slici

2. Prvo uho držite prstima, pa sa desne strane napravite još jedno, omotajte preko prvog uha i provucite kroz njega.

3. Pridržavajte traku i poravnajte rubove, ali ne stežite previše da se ne napravi čvor.

5. Ponovo s desne strane napravite uho i provucite kroz prethodno, poravnajte...

6. Sada s lijeve strane napravite uho i provucite korz prethodno, poravnajte...pa opet s desne...pa s lijeve...itd. dok ne ispletete željenu dužinu. Ako se spetljate, razvežite trakicu i probajte ponovo, malo vježbe i sigurno uspjeva.

7. Na kraju dobijete ovako pletenu trakicu:

8. Kada završite pletenje, spojite krajeve (ako želite vjenčić), tako da zadnje uho provučete čačkalicom kroz prvo uho koje ste napravili. Možete vezati u čvor, ili zalijepiti kapljicom cijanofixa (kao što sam ja) jer bolje drži i ravnije je.

9. Kada je vjenčić gotov, ukrasite ga po želji:

I made similar scrap paper holder few days ago. I just love it because it's nice and practical and you can put it anywhere you want. When I do cards or scrapbooking, there are always some pieces of paper left... with this holder I can have them all in one place instead of having them all over my working table. Since I promised a friend who visited me the other day that I will put a quick tutorial on my blog, here it is.

You can make it in different sizes - my basic cardboard sizes are:
14 x 10 cm for the back,
14 x 3 cm for the bottom and
14 x 7 cm for the front.
Cut the cardboard pieces and glue them to the back of the desired pattern paper - make sure you leave some space between them. Trim the paper about 2 cm around and trim the corners. Fold the edges and glue them down.

Cut the piece of coordinating paper that is a few millimeters smaller than the "core" you have in front of you and glue it down so you cover the edges. With you scoring tool, gently rub in the space you left between cardboard and try to put it into the final shape.

Now cut the paper for the side parts. I wanted the upper part of the holder to be wider than the bottom, so I first cut 6.5 cm long strip of pattern paper, cut it in half and marked 3 cm for the bottom (as that is the size of my bottom cardboard part as well), and 5 cm for the top. You want to get an isosceles trapezoid. On the sides with equeal lenght (in my case the 6.5 cm side) leave 1 cm for fold which you will glue down. (See the pics bellow, I can't tell that better). I distressed the back side of the trapezoids before I glued them as they were just too white for my quite dark background paper.

And that's about it. Of course you can embelish it as you want.

And finally, put some scrap papers in it. I'm going to make a bigger one and fix it on the wall to keep the bills that need to be payed in it. You can use it for other things as well, it's up to you.

Now I dare you to make your own and show it to me! :)

Here are some great ways to create wall storage folders out of old books bound for the dump!

This is a 90% recycle/reuse project! Other than rescuing the books from the Goodwill bins and buying a small package of buttons, everything else used to construct these wall storage folders came from project leftovers.

While I was at the bins, I saw lots of discarded children's books. If I had school age children, I would be making these for their rooms to store school art projects, homework and other treasures using large format children's books in good condition.

http://www.craftypod.com/ - Diane inspired me earlier this year with a post announcing a library class in which she was teaching http://www.craftypod.com/2008/10/14/i-do-make-things-see-really/ - purse making using old book covers . I immediately realized the idea could be adapted to create wall storage for all those millions of recipes and craft ideas all of you wonderful cooks and crafters have been sharing on your blogs.

Now when I print them for later use, I just pop them into my beautiful wall folders! Not a permanent storage - just until I can get around to organizing them. After Christmas maybe!

These are EASY and QUICK to make. I've included several simple construction options within the mini tutorials , so feel free to scan through and mix it up a bit. You could literally make one very quickly by cutting the pages out of a book that's in good shape, use the string and button method to create hinge straps, attach a bulldog clip to the top and - DONE!

Before we begin - one cautionary tale! DO NOT DO AS I DID and use original Mod Podge when applying fabric to the book covers. Use the Mod Podge designed to be used with fabric. Amy of http://modpodgerocks.blogspot.com/ - Mod Podge Rocks fame, has provided a very http://modpodgerocks.blogspot.com/2009/07/mod-podge-formula-guide-youve-been.html - useful and thorough discussion of the many kinds of Mod Podge and their applications. Please take my advice - read and heed her words!

LETS BEGIN BY REMOVING THE PAGES FROM THE BOOKS

I was amazed at just how easily pages can be removed from books! This particular book has pages that are glued into the spine section. Remove a few at a time using an exacto knife. (Pages are being saved for other projects!)

Since this book is in excellent condition, I am not even going to finish the inside. Just remove the pages neatly and - Done!

Removing pages from a bound book is even easier! Simply cut the liner paper along the edge close to the binding.

Same with the back. The entire set of pages comes out in oner piece.

If you wish to give the inside a more finished look, simply cut pretty paper to size and glue in place with original Mod Podge.

USEFUL NOTE: Once you have removed the pages, you have created the framework for your folder. In most cases, the book cover will hang horizontally on the wall; therefore, when I refer to the "top" of the cover or the folder, I am referring to what used to be the long side edges from which you would open the original book. When I refer to the "sides" I am referring to what used to be the top and bottom edges of the original book.

NOW WE CAN BEGIN MAKING WALL STORAGE FOLDERS!

To make the simple recipe folder:

The book I chose for storing recipes just happened to BE a recipe book! Believe it or not - I did not plan it this way! But when I saw some of the beautiful illustrations I had cut out - well - I just had to use one for the cover. Since I adore Biscotti with a cup of coffee, this image was a perfect choice! The green and white borders were actually part of another page.

Glue paper to the cover using Mod Podge. Brush on two over coats of Mod Podge for protection, letting dry between coats and over-spray with an acrylic spray to seal.

Another option to make your recipe storage folder more "practical" - attach several often used recipes and hints to the cover where they can be seen easily when you need to refer to them.

Use an ice pick to "drill" holes for a simple hanging system and simple hinge straps. (Not reccommended for a very hard cover.)

For the hanger, make two holes in the back cover 1-1/2" in from each side and 1/2" down from the top edge. Pull a piece of ribbon through both holes, tie in a knot or double bow and hang.

For the hinge straps, make the holes in both the front and back covers. Place them approximately 2 1/2" down from the top edges and 3/4" in from the side edges and proceed as shown below.

The inspiration for this simple hinge strap came from a package sent to me from Joan who writes a lovely blog http://ninimakes.typepad.com/nini_makes/ - Nini Makes . She sent me treats this past spring wrapped in stamped brown paper and tied with string and a button.

Thread a needle large enough to accommodate your string or embroidery floss, but small enough to go through the button. Place the needle through the button you have selected for the front, then through the hole you just made on the front cover. Pass the needle through the hole in the back cover and then through the button you have selected for the back.

Now take your needle back through the other hole of the back button, back through the back cover hole and then up through the front cover hole and the front button.

Leave about 2 1/2 to 3" of string between the front and back, as shown, and tie a knot in the front button. Cut the string leaving enough of a "tail" to tie a bow. Ignore that black ribbon for now! We will talk about that in a bit. Repeat on the other side.

Finished!

- ostatak nekog platna, bilo koje boje

- škare, papir, indigo, olovka, konac

Iz papira izrežite oblik mačke (trbuh 2x,rep 2 x, glava 2x, rep 2x, noga 2x, šape 4x), položite na indigo list pa na platno koje je presavijeno na duplo, da ne režete jedan po jedan dio tijela.

Kada ste sve izrezali, opšijte dijelove i ne zaboravite ostavitirupicu za punjenje.

Poslije opšivanja, okrenite dijelove na pravu stranu i punite (ja sam koristila sitnu spužvicu koju sam sačuvala od starog jastuka, ali možete koristiti i filc, staru vunu, stiropor u zrnu ili sl.).

Kada ste sve napinili, zašijte proreze i pričvrstite dijelove na tijelo mačke. Na kraju izvezite iglom i koncem brčiće, nosić i okice :)

Ja sam izvezla pospanu mačku :) i gotovoooo - imate mali jastučak kad vam se prispava na kauču, ukras ili igračku za vaše dijete!!!
