MAKE A PERSONALIZED PHRASE BRACELET
Supplies:
-flat leather (10mm x 2mm) or oval leather (10mm x 6mm)
-letter sliders (I love this font in either 10mm x 2mm or 10mm x 6mm, and they sell hashtags too!)
-magnetic clasp (10mm x 2mm or 10mm x 6mm)
-jewelry glue
Cut one side of your leather into a point like the front of an arrow (this makes it easier to slide the letters onto it). Slide your phrase letters onto the leather strap.
Trim your arrow-shaped end so you have a straight cut instead. Take one of your magnetic clasps, add a small drop of glue into the opening, and quickly place your leather end into the opening. If you have a light colored leather, be careful not to add too much glue, or it will overflow the opening and darken the leather it comes in contact with (you can see it did a little bit on mine). Place the leather around your wrist to determine the length of the bracelet (keeping in mind how much length attaching the other clasp will add or take away). Cut your leather to size and attach the other side of the clasp.
Now, some bracelets have beads or parts that are supposed to slide freely on the bracelet, but since you want your phrase to be legible, you probably want them to hang out together in a neat little row. Flip the bracelet over and, starting with the middle letter, place a drop of glue where that letter should go. Slide your letter over onto the glue and let it sit for a moment until the glue starts to set. Repeat the process with the other letters until they are all glued in place.
I hope you guys are as into these bracelets as I am—I just adore them. I love the personalization aspect, all the different colors you can do, and they absolutely look like something that you bought rather than made. Yes!! And, on top of it all, they make a perfect gift, especially if you and your girlfriends (or sisters/family of course) have a particular phrase or hashtag that's an inside joke. Those are the best. Most of mine are every other sentence from Arrested Development. Unfortunately, those are too long for a bracelet (although maybe we could do "Marry Me" or "Her?"). Either way, here's the breakdown on this DIY: super easy, really cute, great gift idea. What's not to like? to. Laura
Feathers of threads
Doubted whether to put these "creations", but work colleagues interested moms, and the manufacturing process just in case I photographed, so give your judgment such a fiction, in an unusual me "manner" rather technology.
The issue is, as always in the process of working on the flowers, herbs, or tried to do the branches of thread.

The issue is, as always in the process of working on the flowers, herbs, or tried to do the branches of thread.
need:
- wire
- thread
- adhesive
- instead of tubes can take any basis for winding. Than it is wider, the greater will be the feathers.
Any thread (I have very thin). Only then realized that they can be wound on the line (not necessarily round base), most importantly, that the center "trunk - feather" was in the middle of the base. Wire wrapped with cloth or gafrobumagoy (smeared with glue), after a few turns again smeared with glue (only the place where the wire itself), and in the end also lubricates. Pulls the many threads in a circle (along the base) - that was not even prosvetov.I IMPORTANT: to dry thoroughly (before cutting). I was drying on the battery for half an hour. Cut back side "trunk" (the exact opposite wire) better kantsnozhichkom (scissors is not very convenient.)
Dokleivaem top individual tassels (on obratonoy side feathers). Yeah, here's a tip gave klepo4ka after my MC: "In order that would not stick tip, bend the wire in a loop of thread insert beam, screw tip, get a fan of threads." (I think it's more convenient ....)
Cropped lishee scissors - creating a form of writing - your choice.
Comb, paint watercolors, glue paetki word on that you have enough imagination. . Once again, small comb comb and sprinkle with hairspray - for greater strength ...
This is an experiment with different thread ... White thread tried in the last turn, then the feathers of them were born .... Until then "tortured" greens)))))
You can make these Christmas trees (toy beads I already added in Photoshop)

Nomads romp through endless steppes, pampas, have become symbols of freedom Argentinian. Their folklore was the basis for the works of Borges and Estrada, and wide pants, jacket and scarf with fringe - a source of inspiration for prominent South American designers. Although most of these people disappeared from the face of the earth, to integrate into the "white world", the past is still alive in Argentina.

In 1930-1931 was built in line, linking the outskirts of the port of another. But two lines of the Buenos Aires underground roads do not intersect. To connect them to the network, in 1936 there was a line C, and behind her another ring - Line D. Although now underground city is preparing for the construction of arcs F, G, J and I, line A rare site is still functioning. Vintage wooden cabins opened manually, begin their journey from the Plaza de Mayo, and move to the station Primera Junta. Amazing journey underground in bygone times available every day from 6 am to 10 pm.Stroll through the aristocratic Recoleta cemetery
Once on the main necropolis of Buenos Aires, it is difficult to keep a delight: around, surrounded by trees and old men-twined vines, lies the ancient city of the dead. Only the birds singing and the sound of fluttering in the wind crowns violate peace and quiet narrow streets filled with beautiful vaults and chapels. Burial place of the capital of the Argentine aristocracy grew in place of an orchard in 1822. Residents of Buenos Aires laugh good-naturedly: cheaper to live like Rockefeller, the best houses in the capital, you become the owner of the grave at Recoleta. At the cemetery, hiding in the depths of the prestigious Byres found their last resting place of all the prominent figures of the country: the writer Adolfo Bioy and President Raul Alfonsin, Nobel laureate Luis Leluar and artist Candido Lopez. The heart of the beautiful necropolis and its most visited tomb became a place of Eva Peron - Argentina's first lady, actress and protector of the afflicted.The biggest art installation
Of "light" recently in different parts of the world art installations, we chose seven that truly affect their size. These designs if someone escaped from a bizarre dream where the ball is ruled by large dimensions and unexpected images.
"Revived" Marilyn Monroe
Not everyone's liking campy antics and stereotypical beauty Marilyn Monroe, but deny its role in the history of cinema can only be it not knowledgeable people. Various souvenirs vengeance exploits her name, and numerous imitators do not give sink into oblivion and blond beauty in a specific manner. Remember the famous scene with billowing dress actress in Billy Wilder's "Itch sweat?" Creative sculptor Stuart Johnson recreated frame became a textbook in its amazing Chicago installation "Marilyn forever." Dimensions "revived" Monroe impressive height - 8 meters, weight - 15 tons. Despite the iconic status of the actress and her merits to dreamland, not all locals have approved the construction of an art installation. Blonde no longer in vogue?Giant striped chaise lounge on UK beach
The idea of this project was born in the minds of marketers of Pimm's, the famous manufacturer of fruit champagne cocktail, and was linked with a move to the UK summer. To implement custom design ideas to life on the beach in Bournemouth was built huge sunbed length of 10 meters and a width of 5.5 meters. Design weighs no less than 6 tons. Author Stuart Murdoch installation seriously expects to get into the Guinness Book of Records: alleges that a sunbed in Bournemouth - the largest in the world. Heraldry of the project is transparent little more than full: fruit cup and striped chaise lounge chair-have long been considered symbols of the United Kingdom, and the placement of structures on the beach is a clear allusion to the population to leave the comfort of their homes and go sunbathing."Bad Dog"
Worthy response to the Brussels 'Manneken Pis' prepared American sculptor Richard Jackson. However, in his version of celebrating small need not representative homo sapiens, and the most ordinary dog. Sculpture called «Bad Dog». The location of such provocative works of art - exactly near California Museum Orange County Museum of Art - sculptor chosen by chance: the museum is just an exhibition of his works, and defecate directly onto the wall of the museum dog was part of the general concept of art. Huge size (up to 8.5 meters tall) black labrador void sumnyashesya raises a hind leg and makes her "wet" work. For greater realism from time to time on the wall paint was jetted with a characteristic color. Bust? Richard Jackson thought that did, and the overall success of his show only confirms the idea that true art knows no boundaries."Planet Kids"
Unlike dogs defecate Jackson, this sculpture Marc Quinn 2008 totally devoid of irony and can rightly lay claim to being one of the most beautiful and personal art installations of this century. Formally, this sculptural portrait of the son of the seven-month Quinn made truly a giant scale. Judge for yourself: the weight of the sculpture - 7 tons, height - 10 meters. It is an engineering marvel bronze in Singapore tropical park "Gardens by the Bay." Unique design allows virtually invisible backup, whereby a persistent illusion that the sculptor modeled child literally hovers in the air against the backdrop of skyscrapers and is located next to the trees. According to the author of the installation, the cornerstone of its concept was the desire to express the general through the particular love of millions of parents to their offspring by the example of his own son. Not the beauty and love will save the planet?Fountain "Metalmorfozy"
This large-scale art installation, located in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina, you can watch through a centralized web cams: online broadcasts allow each Internet user to monitor the movement of the sculpture. The very title of the project is easy to detect the pun, but it is easy to reveal nuances in the first turn solid steel head weighing 14 tons, made up of a large number of plates. Its author - famous Czech sculptor David Black, behind which a lot of decent work. "Metalmorfozy" became his first overseas project.Teddy bear in Manhattan
And from this installation breathes not the technocracy, and somehow captured on a subconscious level, homey feel and atmosphere of a carefree childhood, when best friends were plush toys, and their inability to speak perfectly offset by our irrepressible schoolboy fantasy. The most amazing thing is that it is a miracle yellow weighing 16 tons and a height of 7 meters directly in the center of bustling Manhattan. Seemingly minor detail lamp next to his head slightly slumped Teddy Bears in addition to purely decorative function also performs perfectly practical role: the street lights at night. Made "Teddy" bear made of bronze and stands up to $ 10 million.Parking-comb
If you buried a fate in Virginia, in the modest town of Roanoke, then surely Find the local landmark - made in the form of a huge comb parking for bicycles, is a vivid example of how sometimes intertwined true art and frightening for their pragmatism and mediocrity life. With probability, close to the maximum, we can say that this comb - the biggest in the world, let her use and away from the traditional. Authors of the project - the designers and sculptors studio-shop «Knowhow Shop LA» - comb cut by hand and simulate hair black steel arc, which serve for fastening comb covered with a strong protective layer. Want to park your bike between the teeth of a comb? Get in the queue, because the number of places is limited to eight, and wishing - rife.Amazing Animals, which you did not know
Blue Dragon
This tiny gastropod at first glance seems a messenger from some other planet. Or, at worst, a product of fantasy game designers have made it an element of the simulated world in the next ambitious project. But not a living creature on our planet, which is not rich in fauna such rare and bizarre species.
The dimensions of these amazing dragons quite modest - only 2-3 centimeters in length, but the pleasure they give their appearance truly immeasurable. Most often blue dragon drifts on the water surface belly up - his shield the blue color blends with water and protects against attacks hungry seabirds. If you wish to see this biological miracle firsthand, here you useful information: their habitat - temperate and tropical waters, and they are likely to notice in the coastal waters of Australia and the United States, when the wind blows the tiny blue dragons closer to shore or altogether thrown on the earth's surface.
Goblin shark
As a rule, only one shark fin cutting the water area can cause a person having a panic attack. And what will happen if this fin a few moments later added is such a disgusting face with menacing wedge-shaped process?
This is not a frame from another part of the popular horror film "Jaws", but quite real and pleased with his underwater existence marine predator. It was first discovered in 2007, fishermen caught in Tokyo Bay hitherto not known specimen length of 1.3 meters. Since the appearance, in particular, outstanding tapered protuberance on the face of a shark is very much like the famous character from Japanese folklore - Tengu goblin, and then received an appropriate nickname - tenguzame, which literally translated as "goblin shark." Best known of the existence of 45 copies of this rare species, and the largest of them reaching over 3 meters in length. Due to the fact that skin is translucent goblin shark, located underneath the blood vessels give this a truly unique marine predators and sinister look. It seems that soon we will see this big-nosed monster in some fresh horror film - very much there, he asks.
Mountain Goat
For ordinary domestic goat steadfastly stuck reputation animal stupid and certainly not pretty. But that applies to ordinary goat, does not stick with the goat snow. Take a look at this and let a little far from noble, but still very impressive camp. Over meters - the height at the withers, the maximum weight - up to 135 pounds, but due to thick and viscous wool is an animal lives in the mountains looks even more massive. Come to mind associations with luxurious white fur coat, and if summer mountain goat fur special length is different, then the winter and grows hanging merging with snow white fringe.
There is a desire to witness the mountain goats? Its implementation - in the Rocky Mountains of North America where these interesting animals to conquer the three-kilometer summit. However, they have recently moved into the most remote areas, and their ranks have thinned considerably. Overall it is clear that the form needs to be protected - and where only green activists look?
Pacu fish
Teeth of the largest fish family piranhas surprisingly resemble human, albeit far from perfect. They are only arranged in two rows, which automatically increases the bite force several times. By the way, the moving puck is in only the lower jaw, and that she is getting her trump card in a frontal attack. Surprisingly, with such luxurious combat data, this fish is not a predator, but prefers seaweed, shellfish, nuts and fruit. Although, I think you would not want to check this information for yourself: pacu very attracted to any dangling objects in the water, and there were cases where no bathing trunks men deprived of their manhood.
Basically pacu fish concentrated in the waters of the Amazon, but every year its population is rapidly decreasing. All the fault of many fishermen and very tasty meat, which is considered a real delicacy. Seems all the more surprising by the fact that a year ago, fishermen caught a pacu Soligorski reservoir in Belarus. Although pacu prefers vegetarian food from meat sausages offered her generous local fishermen, not abandoned.
Snake-penis
For dessert, we left most piquant animal from one species whose chaste ladies covered with paint, and all the others will fill with laughter. Found in Brazil, near the hydroelectric dam in the Amazon, eyeless creature cylindrical shape has a striking resemblance to male genitalia, for which he received such an apt name. Official name sounds kind of far more serious - Atretochoana eiselti.
According to scientists, the creature breathes through the skin and into the food actively uses worms and various small fishes, of which the Amazon dime a dozen. Despite the similarities with the snake is considered more correct classification of the detected species to Caecilians. While compare it with a frog or any other amphibian stubbornly fails. Total was found six of these creatures, but who knows what other secrets hides in its waters mysterious Amazon?
