Shaker Cassette Tutorial

The reaction to my shaker cassette has been amazing, thank you so much!


As promised here is a downloadable .png and a tutorial so you can make your own...




My sequins are, of course, from SpiegelMom Scraps - if you use Laura15 at checkout you'll receive a 15% discount.

In terms of the rest of the materials use the cardstock you are most comfortable with and some acetate.  For this I prefer a sheet of acetate rather than some recycled packaging for the greater strength it gives.


The tutorial section of the video starts at 1.44 - it's best to watch but I will briefly cover the steps here...

1. Cut out your pieces from coloured cardstock and acetate.  You will also need double sided foam adhesive, wet glue, tape runner and sequins.

2. Adhere the front of the cassette and the first piece of acetate with wet glue.

3. Add thin strips of double sided foam tape around the edge.  This will hold the sequins in so don't leave any gaps!

4. Use the central off cut from the cassette cut out as a stencil to adhere the cogs to the inside of the acetate and the white label to the outside of the acetate.

5. Dust with some talc to cover any extra adhesive.  Then fill with sequins and add the second sheet of acetate.

6. Adhere the back of the cassette.

7. Layer up the three base plate pieces and adhere them to the front of the cassette.

8. Add the fine details: the square letter beside the base plate; the letter to the label; the tiny screw heads to the holes.

Here is my final layout, made to accompany this layout!





And here they are together:


To slightly quirky stories from my childhood down on paper!

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead up in the corresponding g

DMIO: Teach Me Something

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
