Suede Stool Cover


Giving your stool a 'NEW LOOK', try this!

Create custom seating from simple off-the-rack supplies. Unfinished stools were painted glossy black, then covered with foam disks and fabric circles.
Tools and Materials:
2/3 yard of fabric per cover (you can get 2 covers if you are using 45-inch-wide fabric)
Ballpoint pen
1-inch-thick foam rubber
Utility knife2/3 yard of polyester batting
Hole punch
2 yards of matching 1/4-inch cord


Stool Cover How-To:

1. Using a ballpoint pen, trace the top of the stool (these dimensions are for a 13-inch-diameter stool) onto the foam rubber; cut out with utility knife.
2. From the batting, which will soften the edges of the foam, cut a 17-inch circle. Cut a 20-inch circle of fabric, and punch holes about every inch along the circumference, about 1/2 inch in from the edge.
3. Lace the cord through the holes. Place the foam and then the batting on the stool, and cover with the fabric; cinch and tie the cord.

Candy Topiary


This is absolutely cool idea for any events and functions, I plan to make this on coming X'mas. To create Dylan Lauren's beautiful candy topiary, follow these steps:


Tools and Materials:

7-inch flower pot

6-inch Styrofoam ball

Styrofoam cone (18 inches tall by 6 inches wide)

18-inch-long, 3/4-inch-diameter dowel (stained)

4 to 5 bags of assorted fun-size candy bars

1 pound of twist wrapped candies

Hot-glue gunGlue sticks

Candy Topiary


How-To:

1. Place Styrofoam ball inside flower pot.

2. Force dowel through Styrofoam ball inside flower pot. Poke hole into cone.

3. Add glue to dowel and affix cone to dowel.

4. Make sure glue gun is on low setting; a high setting will crinkle wrapper.

5. Begin attaching first row of candy to bottom of cone.

6. Make sure all wrappers line up and that they extend about 1/2 inch below base of cone. Hold candy in place until it is secured to cone.

7. Start second row of candy: Apply glue toward top of wrapper, making sure there is a slight overlap between first and second row of candy (like roof shingles).

8. Continue gluing candy in rows around cone all the way to the top. When cone is completely covered with candy, fill bottom of pot with wrapped candies of your choice (such as Bit O' Honey, Jolly Ranchers, Laffy Taffy, or Double Bubble Gum).

9. If giving as a gift, wrap finished topiary in cellophane and top with a ribbon.

Apple Prints


Crafts enthusiasts have long known that a potato can be cut in half, carved into a stamp, and used to decorate everything from cards to cloth. Another idea is to use an apple and allow its natural shape to be the dominant decorative motif. Simply cut the apple in half from top to bottom, press the flesh side against a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture, and cover that side using an ink pad in the color of your choice. You can use this apple on bags, cards, book covers, or virtually any surface of your choice. Be sure to hold the apple down firmly and apply equal pressure to the top and sides. Reapply ink after each application. Once the image has dried, you can use a paint marker to add a stem and leaf.

If you want a thicker image, you can brush fabric paint onto the surface of the apple. Set the paint by allowing it to dry, placing a press cloth over the image, and using an iron set on medium.
