This weeks smiles are courtesy of Dewent Coloursoft pencils... They are sitting on my shelf in a glass pot looking all pretty and colourful and boy are they calling my name!
Linking up at Friday Smiles :)
A few weeks back I made a dream catcher. A few readers asked if I could show them how I made it, so, here is my attempt at a tutorial! First up weaving the web. 1. You'll need a hoop and some ribbon/thread/yarn on a bobbin. 2. Attach the ribbon securely to your hoop. 3. Take your ribbon over the top of the hoop... 4. and up through the loop you've just made with the ribbon... 5. so you have a cross over. 6. Continue steps 3-5 until you reach the knot. 7. Now instead of going over the hoop you will crossover the ribbon 8. and through the loop you've just made to give a crossover. Continue on in this fashion until you get to the middle. You need to leave a hole in the middle as this is where the good dreams get through! They then run down the tassels/feathers/any other hanging decoration and on to the owner. It should look something like this. You'll need to play around with your tension until you get a firm web. Now for the tassels - I like to
Don't you just live new pencils? They are never quite the same once they are used and sharpened :-) Hope you have fun using them.

ReplyDeleteNow I can just imagine if you went to the Derwent Museum in Kendal and saw all the pencils there. It was like Heaven to me and they had a shop. I bought tins of them, gorgeous tins full and also wooden boxes.
