Just Mosaics: Funky wall clock
This clock originally came from one of those cheap home stores. It was plain black and white, so we decided to give it a makeover and use the numerals as a template for our own numbers. We had one ‘dotty’ tile that we were dying to use and this was the perfect project for it because it fitted in with the round clock.
We used small tile pieces for the numbers to make them clearer as their design was already a bit obscure, and if we’d worked with bigger pieces, they would have been lost altogether.

Buttons, felt & beads: Bigger better
And much, much easier! In fact, this chunky necklace is so easy to make, we didn’t really have to take any step-by-step photographs to show you how to make it! The only difficulty you might possibly encounter when making this necklace is in finding enough large, rounded buttons with which to make it. If this is a problem, use smaller buttons around the back and neck area, keeping the large ones for the front.

Blomme eenvoudig pragtig: Tjienks in ’n visbak
Al ooit gewonder wat ’n mens met jou ou visbakke maak? Gebruik blomme met buigbare stele soos tjienkerientjees in hierdie geval (varkore of tulpe kan ook werk) en benut die deurskynende aard van die glas om iets besonders te skep. En as jy nie ou visbakke het nie, skaf gerus een of twee in verskillende groottes aan. So ’n rangskikking lyk altyd baie moeiliker as wat dit is – en dit gebruik nie baie blomme nie.

Fabric Decoupage: Kitchen utensil holder
The kitchen is the heart of a home; it’s where family members can enjoy each other’s company.
Spending time together in the kitchen should be fun. There are a number of ways in which fabric
decoupage can brighten up a kitchen. Using dishcloths rather than fabric to match your theme, is
a good idea. Fabric serviettes often have charming motifs that can be cut out and used.

Scrap It: Dog treat jars
Dogs are man’s best friend and to some they are their children – including my neighbour and her precious K9 kids. I wanted to make her a special thank you gift for being a wonderful friend and confidante and I knew a treat for her dogs would be a treat for her. I decorated empty coffee jars (Douwe Egbert – the coffee is really lovely too!) filled them with treats and added photos of her beloved dachshunds.

Vars gehekel: Roosring
’n Gehekelde roos verskil van ander hekelblomme deurdat dit in rytjies gehekel en daarna opgerol word om soos ’n roos te lyk. Die steekvermeerderings in elke rytjie veroorsaak dat die hekelwerk krul en valletjies maak, of soos ’n spiraal begin lyk, en maak dit maklik om die roos op te rol. Die voltooide roos is sowat 4cm breed en 2cm hoog.

Fotokuns: Verweerde foto’s op lap
Die gebruik van ’n jelmedium om afdrukke op lap oor te dra is die ideale manier om ’n minder presiese afwerking te verkry. Wanneer die papier afgevryf word, kom van die ink saam af en word ’n verweerde voorkoms geskep. Die metode is veral gepas vir sekere foto’s, en die borduurringe waarin dit uitgestal word, dra verder by tot die outydse karakter.

Just Mosaics: Mirror, mirror…
We bought this circular wooden base and mirror from a craft shop, so all that we had to do was come up with a design. The idea was to keep most of it mirror with just a touch of colour, so we decided to bring in the red but to keep it simple.
We used pre-nipped tiles for this project, so it went a lot faster than it would have if we had to cut each tile ourselves. Even the randomly shaped mirror tiles came in a pack, so we simply put the pieces together in a puzzle-like fashion and cut them here and there where necessary.

Boxes Galore: Patchwork box
For me, patchwork has always held a certain charm and I love incorporating this look in all my crafts. This patchwork box is a combination of fabric and card stock, stuck together with glue; so you won’t need your sewing machine or even a needle and thread to make this box. The patchwork technique imitated here is called the “log cabin technique”. Fabric odds and ends are used – the wider the variety of motifs, the fewer of each you’ll need; and the more interesting the outcome will be.

50 Syserpe: Sagste teksture
As jy sagte kleure en teksture bo helder kleure verkies, is hierdie net die projek vir jou. Die maklike patroon sal mooi lyk in enige pastelkleur. Om ʼn pastelkleurige kleursel te maak, voeg jy net baie meer water by jou sterk mengsels. Jy hoef nie die chemiese verhoudings te verander nie; voeg net nog water met die oog by tot jy ’n skakering kry waarvan jy hou. Jy kan ook kleiner hoeveelhede chemiese poeier gebruik om ’n ligter skakering te kry.
Die chiffonsy wat ons vir hierdie projek gebruik het, is so lig dat ons swaar, bypassende skulpkrale om die rand bygevoeg het om dit mooi te laat hang.

Paint on paper: Faux finishes
Faux means fake. It is easy to simulate natural texture effects such as rock or wood graining with unusual tools and suitable colours. Texture adds interest to any project and is very important. It can be created in any number of different ways, most of which are really simple. We've adapted all sorts of techniques, including wall effects, for paper. The methods used here are all best executed using transparent paints on paper already coated with some form of transparent paint base or glaze. Some of the effects in this download include glass-marble rolling, wood-grain effect, cookie-cutter dragging, card scraping, old leather, malachite, sandy patterns, talc embossing and much, much more!

Plakboekplanne: Relax
Die klem val in hierdie boek op die uitlegplanne, daarom het ons besluit om geen foto’s in die uitlegte te gebruik nie. Ons gee ook nie enige produkspesifikasies nie, sodat jy self kan sien dat jy enige tema, kleur papier en verfraaiings kan gebruik.
Elke uitlegplan is noukeurig ontwerp om die grootste moontlike veelsydigheid te bied. Deur die bladsye om te ruil of een of albei te roteer, kan jy met elke dubbelbladuitlegplan tot 64 verskillende kombinasies vorm. Dit staan jou ook vry om verskillende uitlegplanne te kombineer, en dan is die moontlikhede regtig eindeloos.
Die twee uitlegte op die oorkanste bladsy is albei met dieselfde uitlegplan gemaak, tog het elk sy unieke voorkoms en gevoel.
