DIY 3D Geometric Sculpture
In this video I use my love of modern a design to show you how to take card stock paper, Elmer's glue products, and the templates I created to make a modern three-dimensional geometric wall sculpture.

The coolest thing about this project is that every single sculpture will be unique. You can customize your design to be the shape and color you want. You can find other shaped templates on-line, and alter the color by printing them out on colored card stock, leaving your shapes white, or using my method to make every side of every triangle different.
You can download the templates at their original sizes in the following links, and print them out on card stock paper. You will need 4 in total, including your color piece templates, the large triangle, medium triangle, and small triangles. Be sure to print out the links on each name, as opposed to the image below, as that image will be way too small.

DIY No-Sew Caftan Video
For all of our non-sewers and sewers alike, here is a DIY caftan you can make without sewing skills. Caftans are free-flowing long tunics that originated in the middle east centuries ago. They have re-emerged throughout fashion history many times, most notably in the late 60's-early 70's (think Mrs. Roper and Maude). I, myself, LOVE a modern day caftan for lounging, relaxing, or accessorizing and wearing out. Check out the complete step-by-step tutorial over on Make: Projects.

Sewers can sew instead of use the tape I show, and feel free to play with different fabrics and the depth of your slits and arm holes. I got this beautiful fabric at Britex. Really light, airy fabrics or silk give a really sexy look.
CARE: Most caftans (due to the fabric) are hand wash or spot clean. The trade off with the no-sew caftan is that the tape means a bit more time is necessary for care. I recommend spot cleaning with the no-sew option. Replace the tape with a straight stitch if you want to throw your caftan in the washing machine.

How-to: Leather Holster
SO. EXCITED. My new video shows you how-to preform basic leather working tasks to make a steampunk inspired leather holster out of scrap leather. I have always been intrigued by leather work and am now obsessed with it. Let out your inner Rosie the Riveter and hit some sh*t! Snaps, rivets, and mallets...OH MY!

Make an Upholstered Headboard
In part II of my bedroom series I show you how to make an upholstered illuminated headboard that has a floating effect by adding a second board to the back.
Subscribe to the CRAFT Podcast in iTunes, download the m4v directly, or watch it on YouTube or Vimeo.
I also added some pillows from a mix of new Britex fabric, vintage ethnic fabric, and a vintage Batik print that was my Nana's. This mix of patterns and textures gives a rich, layered look to the otherwise mellow color palette of the room.
I found the foam and batting at Mod Restoration and the plywood boards at my local hardware store. The second board also serves as the best place to attach your brackets or mending plates to hang your headboard. You can omit the second board if you don't want it to be illuminated, and you can then hang the headboard with flush mounts. I, myself, love the illuminated effect and the romantic vibe it creates. It is also quite functional as a low-light when getting ready for a cozy slumber.

Crochet 101: Chain Stitch, Single, and Double Crochet
By Haley Pierson-Cox
Welcome to Crochet 101! In this post, I'll introduce you to the basics of crochet and give you all of the information that you'll need to select your tools and get started. In the video above, I'll show you how to attach the yarn to the hook and make your foundation chain, then I'll teach you three basic stitches: single crochet, double crochet, and slip stitch. After that, I'll show you how to fix mistakes and finish off your work. Below, you'll also find a glossary of the crochet vocabulary words that I use in the video, plus brief overview of how hook sizes and yarn weights work so you'll know what you're looking for when you first visit the yarn store. When you're done, you'll have the skills that you need to complete your own basic square or rectangular projects, and a solid background that you can take with you as you move on to more complex stitches and patterns.

DIY Doily Shoes
I am absolutely in love with these shoes right now. They are a great statement piece and just fun to wear. Been getting a lot of compliments on these! Plus, this technique could work for so many things. I kinda want to cover everything in old doilies now...

Quick LED Robot Ornament
When Rachel and Lish proposed an ornament swap so close to Christmas, I couldn't resist crafting on a deadline, so I whipped up a whole bunch of these cardboard LED robot ornaments on Sunday morning. I used what I had at hand- some cardboard, spray paint, and a whole bunch of LEDs. Since I can't resist the urge to document my crafts, enjoy this video and see the complete how-to on Make: Projects.
