Whoa I’m getting a lot of views cool****it can save you a lot of bucks!!

This is my version:

DIRECTIONS: click here *** first turn the pants inside out

*Click on the thumbnails to see details!

Pic#1 Just a cheap 25 dollar regular boot cut (on the other half leg)**1st measure it and make a mark w/ white pencil I prefer you measure your calves, knees & thighs with a measuring tape and guess how slim it’s gonna be and make a mark

Pic#2 Tapering/pre sewing* 2nd, cut tapered area w/ zig scissors then sew sides with serger or sewing machine.

Pic#3 If too long, cut off the bottom! 3rd sew the ends if cut& cut the sides where you tapered them …. im short that’s y ….If you have a serger that will be nice or just sew the sides where you cut them. you should doubble stitch it so that the fabric won’t fringe.

Tips:

1.) Don’t use bright colored string to sew your pants, choose a string color that matches your pants!!

 2.) Don’t sew your pants or jeans too tight!!

Glitter Heart Polymer Clay Hair Pins July 28, 2007

I made these because I found a pack of silver polymer clay in my craft box…hehe

 

It’s a hair pin

This is what you need:

1. Polymer clay

2. Glitter

3. Clear nail polish or sealer

4. Bobbie pins

5. Craft Glue

6. Brush *small

 

Instructions:

Take the polymer clay out of the package and knead it until it gets softened.

Then, shape the clay in any shape you want, in my case it’s a simple heart. Start with a simple shape first. Then, bake it in the oven as the instruction in the package says. Be careful when you bake it might turn it brown. I baked mine for about 2mins. Take it out of the oven and wait until it hardens and cools off. Next, take the glue out and spread it on the shape, sprinkle glitter on it, and wait until it dries completely. When it is dry, paint a sealer or clear nail polish on the glitter. *this will keep the glitter from getting all over the place. Paint about two coats. Let it dry again and this part is done.

Glue the bobby pin with crazy glue or something more strong. Then carefully press the shape into the bobby pin. Let it dry and it’s time to ware it!
