Pungue cu bunti pentru Mo Nicolae 3 December, 2010 by Laura Frunza Am pornit la birou un proiect cu un calendar de Advent cu dulciuri aa cum

a fcut Teo aici i am cumprat mai multe pungi i pungue i pacheele cu diverse dulciuri i bunti i, cum erau prea multe, am zis s fac nite pungue s druiesc celor dragi de Mo Nicolae. Aa am creat aceste pungue festive care pot fi adaptate n funcie de materialele pe care le avei prin cas. Am pornit de la nite pungi de hrtie pentru sandviuri i o coal de carton verde. Putei folosi orice hrtie verde, nu neaprat carton, chiar i felicitri vechi pe care le decupai. Am creat cu mnuele mele nendemnatice la desen un ablon cu doi brdui i l-am transferat pe cartonul verde de trei ori. Am tiat lateralele triunghiului isoscel care formeaz brduii cu o foarfec cu model. Dac v pricepei la desen, putei desena brdui cu ramuri sau alte modele mai sofisticate, eu am mers pe cea mai simpl variant. Am lipit brduii la baza pungii pentru sandviuri, cu lipici, i i-am pus un pic la presat. Dup aceea, am decorat cu ce am avut prin cutia cu diverse pentru bricolaj: stelue aurii i argintii, forme decupate cu perforatorul cu model i sclipici. Dup aceea m-am gndit c ar fi fost frumos s am nite crlige cu motive de Crciun cu care s nchid punguele, numai c nu aveam. Aa c am scotocit dup nite crlige simple de rufe, din lemn i am nceput s mi storc mintea cum s le decorez. Nu m pricep la pictat i oricum nu aveam cu ce, c nu am vopsea pentru lemn dect roie. Am apelat la vechiul meu dosar cu idei de bricolaj i am gsit n el dou felicitri mai vechi care aveau pe ele nite aplicaii n relief. Am desprins cu un cuit ascuit omul de zpad, sania cu cadouri i brduii de pe felicitri i le-am lipit pe crligele de rufe. Cu ce le-am umplut? Vedei mai jos! Nu-i aa c arat minunat? Diminea n drum spre serviciu am gsit i nite crengue de brad i le-am adunat ca s decorez prin birou i s pun cte o rmuric la fiecare pungu. Putei folosi aceste pungue n multe moduri: dac avei copilul srbtorit de Sfntul Nicolae, poate duce la grdini/coal asemenea pungue pentru fiecare coleg. Copiii se vor bucura s descopere ce e n ele i putei fi ct de creativi dorii i n plus putei cumpra din Metro cantiti mai mari de dulciuri. Sau putei pune cte o pungu cu bunti pentru fiecare invitat la masa de Crciun, cu numele lui/ei pe ele. Sau le putei lsa pe birourile colegile ca s fie surprini de Mo Nicolae. Sau dac nu vrei s le umplei cu dulciuri le putei umple cu amestecuri de alune (caju, migdale, fistic, alune de pdure, arahide), amestecuri de fructe uscate/confiate sau diverse mruniuri (un carneel, un creion cu mo crciun, autocolante sau etichete pentru cadouri, panglici etc) Sau. voi ce idei mai avei? Iat i bucata mea din calendarul de Advent pe care l facem aici n birou: Dup cum vedei, mi-am pus i chestii mai sntoase (pliculee de ceai, fructe uscate, fistic, cereale), nu numai ciocolele Pentru c l-am fcut abia azi, zilele de 1, 2 i 3 nu sunt mncate nc, aa c cine le dorete e ateptat la mine Urmeaz sferturile colegelor, abia atept s vd ce i pun ele. i mi-a ncolit i grul pus de Sfntul Andrei. Vou v-a ncolit?

Patine decorative pentru bradul de Crciun

25 November, 2010 by Laura Frunza

Am fcut aceste patine dup ce le-am vzut aici i aici i cred c i mie mi-au ieit cel puin la fel de frumoase.

Avei nevoie de fetru, a de culoarea fetrului, pom-pom-uri, a mai groas (ca de croetat, alb), vat pentru umplut i agrafe de birou pentru lama patinelor. Eu le-am fcut mai mricele dect cele de pe primul site, aa c am folosit agrafe mai mari. Oricum nu cred c a fi avut rbdare s cos la cele mici.

Descrcai tiparul de pe al doilea site i transferai pe fetru. Tiai patru buci ca s v ias o pereche de cizmulie.

Coasei bucile, dou cte dou, atand pom-pom-ul i agrafa. Pe laterale eu am cusut cu punct de surfilaj, iar n partea de jos am cusut mai simplu, trecnd acul pe dup agraf, ca s-o ataez ct mai bine. Iniial am vrut s lipesc agrafa acolo dar nu mergea, ar fi mucat prea mult din agraf i se pierdea

efectul de lam de patin.

Iat dou perechi care ateapt s le pun ireturile:

ireturile se fac din aa mai groas, se cos n form de X i se nnoad n partea de sus:

Dac nu avei pom-pom-uri, putei renuna la ele i punei doar ireturile. Mai putei decora partea superioar cu blni sau cu bucele de fetru de alt culoare. Prindei cele dou patine cu o panglic subire (eu am lipit panglica) sau cu a roie mai groas (ln, de exemplu) i agai-le n brad.

P.S. Scuze pentru calitatea pozelor dar am foarte puin timp de fcut decoraiuni i spre zero timp de aranjat un cadru frumos de pozat. Oricum, important e ideea, aa c inspirai-v i att. Pozele cu bradul sunt fcute azi diminea n intersecie, singurul moment cnd am putut prinde un brad i lumina natural n acelai context

Customizable Diaper Bag Pattern With Instructions

Use this diaper bag pattern to sew your own perfect diaper bag! Use fabrics you love and add as many or as few pockets to create you own ultimate carry-all. These basic instructions will help guide you in creating a very sturdy and cute bag. Increase or decrease dimensions to find the size that suits you. You might also like the Free Detour Diaper Bag Pattern that is a bit more advanced, but the pattern is very complete. The instructions and example shown is for a medium to large sized diaper bag with several extra pockets for sippy cups, mama's water bottle, keys, wallet, cell phone, etc. These pockets are perfect for me at my son's age, but you may need more or less! Before you start, decide how many pockets you'd like and what you'll use them for then adjust the diaper bag pattern accordingly.

Click here to download the body pattern pdf shown above and here to download the pocket examples pdf if you would like to print the these out. However, once you see the pattern pieces and see the construction you can easily measure and cut out your own pieces on your own. Pattern pieces are all simple rectangles so you really don't need a pattern!.

Diaper Bag Pattern Instructions:

Wash & Cut - Pre-wash your fabric since you will want to be able to wash your diaper bag and you'll need to allow for shrinkage before you cut. I use upholstery/decorating weight fabrics for these since they are much heavier weight than quilting cottons. You can also use a waterproof lining fabric if you like, but I haven't found this necessary as long as the bag is washable. Iron and cut out all your fabric pieces for your exterior and interior body, strap and pockets. Sew Interior Large Zipper Pocket (optional) - Start by sewing your zipper pocket that will be on the inside of the bag. I use this pocket for my lip gloss and wallet and I use a 7" zipper. Trace the zipper on the pocket and then cut a window as shown. Press edges down and then position and pin zipper behind the window and then sew. This pocket can now be lined (optional) or simply sewn down onto one of your interior panels. Sew Smaller Sippy Cup Interior Pockets (optional) - There are many ways to make pockets, lined and unlined. This is just one of them, a way to cheat and do it very fast. If you want lined pockets you can simply cut out a rectangle that is twice the length of your pocket, fold outer edges and iron and then fold in half and iron flat. Then sew directly onto your interior fabric panel. Position your pockets on the interior panel and sew on. Sew lining of bag - Match up your two liner pieces wrong sides out and sew the three sides as shown above. Make sure that your pockets are facing each other on the inside.

Now take one corner of your bag and match up the stitching. Pinch these edges together and then stitch shut. Only sew one corner of the bag and leave the other one open. This open hole in the liner is necessary to pull your bag parts right side out later. Sew outer shell and outer pockets - Sew the outer shell of the bag the exact same way as the liner, but sew shut both corners. You can sew on your pockets before you piece together the liner or after. If you are sewing pockets that span the side seam of your bag (like the two side pockets above) you'll need to sew it together first, turn right side out and then sew on the pockets. Placement of your pockets is totally up to you, this is the beauty of this diaper bag pattern!

Sew strap - For a sturdy and thick strap you can use fusible interfacing if you like. Fold your strap edges in around the interfacing and iron. Next, stitch both edges of your strap.

Assembling the Bag - Now the fun part, you are almost there! Take your outer fabric and turn it inside out. Then lay down your strap inside the outer fabric and stitch the strap on. Next, lay the liner fabric inside your outer fabric. The liner fabric should be inside out as well, so the outer fabric pockets and the inner fabric pockets are facing each other. Finally, sew all the way around the top edge.

Pull the bag right side out through the corner hole that you left in the liner and then sew up the hole. You can hand stitch this hole so you can't see the stitching or you can just do it fast on your sewing machine like I do to save time. Add a button closure or velcro closure if you like. You can also sew all along the top of the bag if you like or you can just press with an iron. Finished Diaper Bag Photos - As you can see, this diaper bag pattern creates a bag that can hold a lot of stuff. Clothes, diapers, toys, books, shoes, a sippy cup, wallet, keys and more! Yet, it still isn't too huge for me, just the perfect size for a day out.

Enjoy creating your own ultimate carryall with this diaper bag pattern! Make it larger (increase all measurements by 3 inches for example) or make it smaller to suit your taste. Add or subtract pockets until you reach exactly what you want. Then proudly pack your bag and enjoy all the "Where did you get your diaper bag?" and "You made that?!" questions next time you go out.
