DIY BEAR KIDDO TEE

It's DIY Friday already. Gee where did that week go? How cute is this Bear Kiddo Tee from Oana’s blog. I think I'll be making one for my little man this season. I've been wanting to experiment with fabric paint a little more so this might be the perfect project to start with.

What you'll need:

• tshirt
• template (download from Oana's blog)
• fabric paint
• pencil
• paint brush
• iron

Steps:

1. Download the outline drawing and print it.
2. Insert the print inside the tee, center it and trace the outline with a pencil.
3. BEFORE applying the fabric paint make sure you have a paper sheet or cardboard inside the tee so that the paint will not bleed through the back of the shirt. 
4. Carefully paint inside the line drawing.
5. After you have finished, let it dry according to paint bottle instructions.  
6. Once it has dried iron the back of the painted area to set the paint (or as per your paint instructions).

Then just admire your handy work. Oana has a whole series on the KIDDO TEE so make sure you head over to the blog to check them out! Very cute indeed.

Store Spotlight @ Eklectic Mix

This month sees the revamp of Jennifer McDermott's label Eklectic Mix. 

A clean fresh look website is filled with a bounty of new stock. Jennifer's focus was to brush up and add, not one, but a few ranges of jewellery with special emphasis on the development of an eco friendly range. 

Her ever faithful gorgeous dresses and skirts are hopping off the sewing machine and flying out the door. If you take a peek at them over at their website you will see why. And now with the winter months swiftly creeping in they have their Sailor Pants back in stock. The range has expanded, with optional colours added to complement any wardrobe this winter.

One thing you always find at Eklectic Mix is the variety of products, array of fabric and their attention to providing excellent customer service.

DIY Geo Patchwork Wall Art

I'm so in love with anything with geometric prints at the moment so when I saw this tutorial I saved it to give it a go at home myself.

What you'll need:

• Foam core board
• Coloured and metallic origami paper
• Self-healing cutting mat
• Cutting knife or scalpel
• Pencil and metal ruler
• Blu Tac or 3M removable strips

This is an easy project you can do when you have a few hours spare. I think it would make a great backdrop for a dessert table or to hang in your home to add a splash of colour. I'm thinking the larger paint swatches might also work well for this project.

For the full tutorial head over to craft tuts+. I'm adding this one to my must do DIY list.
