How-To: Tumbling Bunnies Toy

rabbit_tumbling_toy.jpg

These tumbling bunny toys from Joel of Made by Joel are so beautifully simple and fun. They are just the kind of thing that I could see my kids enjoying for ages, watching them tumble and tumble and tumble and then go back again for more. Watch his short video to see how to make them and see one in action, and then download the template from his web site and go make your own!

CRAFT Pattern: Sally Cardigan

Banner Craft Podcast

A Nostalgic Honeycomb Sweater
By Nikol Lohr

Inspired by an Atomic-age children's sweater and named after Mad Men's Sally Draper, this playful fitted cardigan with retro styling is surprisingly simple to knit. The three-quarter length sleeves make it a perfect transition sweater for crisp spring or fall days, the angora-blend yarn softens the pattern and adds to the nostalgic feel, and the crocheted buttonholes add to the overall charm.

While the honeycomb pattern looks like complicated colorwork, producing it is actually as easy as knitting stripes! Only one color is carried at a time, with the design achieved by slipping stitches from the previous round's color. (If you're one of the thousands who have knit the Mason-Dixon Knitting dishcloths, you already know the technique.) It is knit seamlessly in the round, so there's no seaming, purling, or complicated float management. Then it's steeked to make the front opening (cutting your knitting is scary but fun!), and a button placket is picked up just inside the cut edges.

Princess and the Pea Embroidery Pattern

Check out this enchanting Princess and the Pea embroidery pattern. When I was growing up, I longed for Disney to make their version, piled high with gorgeous linens and interesting patterns and textures, but I guess she is a bit of a wimpy heroine! Still, I have a soft spot in my heart for that tender princess. (Via Once Upon a Thread.)

Seattle is bracing itself for snow (even a little brings our city to a halt) and it’s been overcast and gray most of the day. I slipped out to grab some emergency food supplies (you know – sour cream, beer, chips) and the only green I saw was on the insides of Scott’s new shoes.

Color Block Mountain Painting

In today's CRAFT Video we make a color block mountain range painting using a technique you could use for a plethora of projects.

Subscribe to the MAKE Podcast in iTunes, download the m4v video directly, or watch it on YouTube.

Inspired by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in my home state of Virginia, I created a 5-paneled blue gradient mounting range with only two paint cans. Using just one rich shade of blue and mixing it with various amounts of white gave us a really lovely palette to work with.

Blue-Ridge-Mountains-3.jpg

You could use this same technique on a dresser with multiple drawers, painting each drawer a different shade, you could incorporate it on a wall with big, bold stripes would make a stunning statement, or forget the gradient aspect and transform your stairs using different colors.

Blog-At colorblock wall.jpg

I first tried a mountain mural on 2 sliding closet doors that have since fallen off their hinges and been discarded. You can see my attempt here, and read the written instructions for a slightly different approach in my paint guide for Venus Zine below.

Rah of That's Noice! posted a super simple tutorial for making mini "cupcakes" to put on top of your regular-sized cupcakes. Spoiler alert: It's just a mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cup with frosting on top. I love the completely frivolous cupcake-on-a-cupcake look. Serve them alongside some Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Check it out! Glee-inspired slushie cupcakes that Tamara (Athens, GA) of Cupcakes by Tamara made for her Glee second season premiere party last fall. The red sanding sugar on top makes it looks just like a cold, sweet slushie. Very clever. She also made Cheerio-Marshmallow-Chocolate lollipops, and ... she bought a bright blue Adidas track jacket to wear to the party, � la Sue Sylvester.
