Here’s 5 fun and useful ways to recycle milk or juice cartons! 1. Make a wallet Cut down the side of the carton, and cut as pictured. Fold in half, and cut the bottom section up the centre, and v-shaped cuts in the centre of the middle section.

Of course, many simple amigurumi patterns can be improvised on the fly, but working out the outline of a pattern beforehand can save you having to rip out and redo parts of your design, and ensure [...] A little while ago, we looked at how to needle-felt 3D and flat shapes. Today, I’d like to show you how to join 3D shapes together in needle felting, and how to make this little matryoshka doll.

Lets begin with our sketch. I’ve started with this little monster character. Your design can be [...] A couple of weeks ago we learned how to sew felt flat and how to applique. Today we’ll go 3D, and learn how to make felt stuffies with these two easy toy microbes, an amoeba and a salmonella bacterium. There isn’t all that much difference between sewing felt flat and sewing stuffed toys, so if [...] For this week’s Saturday Quickie, I’d like to show you how to make a kokeshi doll from recycled drinks bottles.
