Hunting Bandanas for Man and his Dog

1 yard of hurt your eyes orange cotton solid
Cut into 4 18 x 18" squares

Fold up about a quarter of an inch twice on each side and sew with matching orange thread.
Press.

I made these for my dad and brother and their dogs to take hunting. The fabric was on sale so it only cost $2 for 4 bandanas.

Flannel Fly Fishing PJ Pants

I didn't have a pattern so I took a pair of my pj bottoms and tucked one leg inside of the other so I could get the basic shape.
I laid the fabric out (probably 4 yards) flat on the floor

Put the folded pjs on the folded edge of the fabric with the flat side lining up with the fold

Cut out (or trace first) around leaving at least 5/8" (in this case I was making them for my dad so to be safe I added about 2 1/2 inches) except for the waist and the cuffs, you'll need even more to be able to fold up and hem. Best to have too much that you can later cut off than not enough.
You'll need 2 legs.

Now fold a leg right sides together, sew up with a 5/8" seam allowance from the cuff to the crotch line. Do the same to the other leg.

Put one leg inside the other, right sides together. Pin the "u" crotch area and sew with the same seam allowance.

Flip so they are inside out. Iron and pin your desired cuff length and sew both legs.

Make a casing around the waist for elastic, leaving an opening. Thread the elastic through using a safety pin to make it easier. Sew the elastic at the desired waist size making sure to keep it flat. Sew up the hole.

Turn right sides out and a quick pair of pjs! Probably takes about 20 mins.

Black and Zebra Inifiniti Scarf

2 Knits cut at about 13" wide by however wide the fabric is
I made the zebra section a little shorter than the black
Knits don't fray so just sew right sides together of opposite fabrics
Do the same to the other end but make sure it's not twisted
Voila

Silver votive/tealight holder

2 minute gift idea!
Someone had given me different sized mason jars but they had no covers so I thought making them into candle holders would be a good idea.
I had some metallic silver spray paint around. I tipped the jars upside down on some cardboard outside and I'm sure the neighbors thought I was crazy since it was about 9:00pm and 40 degrees. It was dark so the paint didn't come out even but I think it looks better, adds character. Once they dried I tied some raffia around the top and threw a tealight in.

Washable Glitter Mason Jar Votive/tealight Holder

I used Martha Stewart glitter paint, about 3 coats.
I dabbed it on with a foam brush.
Follow the instructions on the back of the paint to cure it in the oven so it will be dishwasher safe.
I made these for gifts so I added a few tealights and tied some raffia.

Lavender Salt Scrub

Olive oil
Epsom Salt
food coloring
lavender essential oil
dried lavender sprinkled on top
tied with raffia with a tag:
"Use in bath or shower 1-2 times per week to exfoliate and moisturize"

Scrapbook for Kristin

I made a cover and a back out of cardstock and cardboard but I liked the look of it without. I punched a hole in the corner of each doublesided scrapbook page, put a ring that I got at Michaels (pack of them for a few bucks)and tied some ribbon on it to jazz it up. I used all paper and stickers I already had so the total cost was just a few dollars to print the pictures that I uploaded from facebook onto walgreens picture site and the ring to hold it all together.
