How To Make Easy Paint Chip Wall Art and How To Make Boxes From Paint Swatches Free Tutorials by Jessica Jones

If you love crafting with paint chips you'll be happy to know that Jessica Jones has two wonderful tutorials showing you how to make Easy Paint Chip Art and how to make Boxes From Paint Chip Swatches.  Enjoy!

Copyright © 2011- All Rights Reserved - Written By  Jessica Jones of Jessica Jones.

Here's what Jessica had to say about her tutorial:  If your apartment needs some decorating, you can't draw, and you're broke, consider chopping up paint chips. (Yep, I'm still on the paint chip kick.) These are Glidden swatches from Home Depot made into a simple triangle pattern. I put it inside a mat and frame I already had, and it looks fairly respectable. Put anything inside a mat and frame and it will look respectable. Heck, you could frame a crumpled-up Kleenex and somebody will assume it's a very special piece of modern art.

Copyright © 2011- All Rights Reserved - Written By  Jessica Jones of Jessica Jones.

Here's what Jessica had to say about her tutorial:  If you've got paint chips sitting around begging to be made into something, try folding them into boxes for paperclips, thumbtacks, party favor candies, or tiny gifts. I made these from Behr swatches, available at Home Depot.

Copyright © 2011- All Rights Reserved - Written By  Jessica Jones of Jessica Jones.

Here's what Jessica had to say about her tutorial: An origami box seemed like an easy project for testing yesterday's stiffened fabric. The material folded nicely, and pressing the creases with an iron as I went along made even sharper edges.

In my opinion you can never have enough holders. Holders for things, things, and more things. Holders for books, credit cards, coffee mugs, lip balm, sewing needles, notebooks, steno pads, candles, tissues, napkins, baby teeth, cell phones, keys, calendars, flowers, art supplies, vegetables, tools, plastic bags, money, eyeglasses, iPods, gift cards, candy, cards, ornaments, and so much more. The problem is in deciding to which holder to make first.

Well, in thinking about holders I thought about all the wonderful free articles, e-patterns, tutorials, graphics, stitcheries, craft projects and more from The Best Free Craft Articles blog contributors that we have. Here they all are:

Spring Is In My heart and Home Tweet Home Free E-Patterns From Renee Mullins of Plum Purdy Designs

I just LOVE artists and painters as I'm so envious of their enormous talent.  I  wish I could paint like they do, but I wasn't blessed with such talent.

However, I can try my hand at painting some of the wonderful creations by some of the very gifted artists and painters on the web.  One such artist is Renee Mullins of Plum Purdy Designs and she has created some wonderful free painting e-patterns on her Plum Purdy Designs website.

Here's her free spring e-patterns. Enjoy!

Home Tweet Home

I found this little scalloped box at “Michael’s”, ALTHOUGH, you can paint this on a square box or other surface.

Suggestions… Photo albums, enlarge for a welcome sign, tote bags… be creative! 


Copyright © 2010 - All Rights Reserved - Renee Mullins
Spring is in My Heart

This design can be used in so many different ways.
*Drill a small hole in the center and use as a tag for a gift basket or clasp onto a tote or purse.
*Attach a magnet to the back.
*Glue a long thin stake to the back and use as a plant poke.
*Drill a tiny hole on each side of the heart and attach to a basket with wire.

I hope you will enjoy my “Springtime” design! Happy Painting!

TEACHING MY DESIGNS - I am so grateful for all the wonderful teachers that teach my designs! Thank you so much!  For those of you considering teaching my designs that do not know what my requirements are…. They are listed below.
  • I would prefer that classes purchase the pattern packet or book (I do give a wholesale discounts for the class purchase), but if that is not possible, (1) line drawing per student is permitted to be copied and distributed. Please make sure that I am given credit as the designer on the line drawing by printing my name with the line drawing.

If you love quilts and quilting and LOVE to learn from a master quilter then you'll be happy to know that Geta Grama of Romanian Quilt Studio has a wonderful tutorial on her Geta's Quilting Studio blog showing you how to make quilted fabric boxes.  I'm definitely going to have to make some.


Copyright © 2010 -  Written By Geta Grama of Romanian Quilt Studio.

Here's what Geta had to say about her tutorial:   Do you use interfacing? For making bags, bowls? Or in clothes making?  If your answer is positive, I am sure you have many leftovers, small scraps you don’t want to throw to the trash.  I consider interfacing (especially the heavyweight one) as valuable as the fabrics I use in my projects. I am happy I found a way to use every bit of it!

Please respect Geta's TERMS OF USE:  I am more than happy to share my tutorials with you. You can use them to make projects for yourself, friends or family. Do not use my tutorials to mass-produce items for sale. If you post your work online, please link to my tutorials on my Geta's Quilting Studio blog at http://cadouri-din-inima.blogspot.com/.

Neat Storage Box Free Tutorial by Vania Cruz-Perez of Fantasy Whispers

I love creative ways of storing things.  Well, Vania Cruz-Perez has a wonderful tutorial on her  Fantasy Whispers - The Art Of Vania Cruz-Perez Blog showing you how to make a neat storage box for all your delicate items.

Here's what Vania had to say about her tutorial:  I found a way of making my own storage boxes for those fragile little items that I can't just put anywhere of fear that they might break. Not only are these boxes super easy to do, they are also very inexpensive when it comes to materials. We at my house have a soft spot for the Ferrro Collection chocolates. This Holiday Season alone we have consumed about 4 boxes and December is not even done yet :(.
