Panda tin makeover!!


                                         I am crocheting a  table runner now.Bought so many vibrant colors of yarn for that. But used only little for the runner. Left over with lots of colors of yarn.Was thinking wat to do with that. Thats when i read about the idea of covering pringles can with the yarn and converting it into a pen holder. But i dint have an empty pringles can in my kitchen. Had a  hello panda empty tin. So made it a "panda day"today!!.
Before
After
Dont you think this is a cozy place for your fabric clips when they are not used.also it add color to your laundry room!!
Tip for those who are trying this. I think its better to use crafts glue to stick the yarn to the can.I started working with the hot glue. but there's a bumped appearance at the palce where i used hot glue. So for a better  finish use craft's glue or fevicol. It can be messy and ends up with ten fingers full of  glue. But just think of the finished project. Its just a 1 hr task.!!

Carton makeover!!!

Sharing the pictures a beautiful project!! I am sure there are splendind of used cartons which we threw to garbage daily.You can change it to wonderful storage bins with a very small effort. All you need is used carton, any two fabrics, hot glue and a sewing machine.Here goes the pictures.
I came across this tutorial from pinterest and couldnt stop myself from making this. Thus i got a cute and handy home for my yarns:)

Check out this link for the elaborate tutorial.




This was a quick project and i fell in love with it. So tried out some more with left over fabrics.

Hope everyone will try it out!!
