Osama Poster Colours

[anniejackson.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone! I was just at a garage sale and I picked up a set of Osama Poster Colors. It is thick and looks like it may be oil based....? It actually looks like the ink used by Persian calligraphers.

Anyway, I was wondering if it is supposed to be watered down, or have linseed oil added, or used as is? And do people paint with it...? I'm not sure what to do with it, just took it because she had 20 jars of acrylic I was buying anyway plus a leather portfolio case (all of it for only $34!!)

Fire me some ideas, or examples of works done with this stuff. Unfortunately the blue is extremely dry. If I touch it I get blue on my fingers still though, is it possible to reconstitute it?

Thanks!

How do you make sheets for Toddler beds or twin beds, and how do you paint plastic juice bottles.

I have two orange juice bottles I'd like to paint and turn into piggy banks, and then today, while picking out juvinal print material someone asked me if I was making kids sheets out of them, and that sparked the idea on that project.

Also so this is a sharing and not just a question, I bought some hecka cute flannel to make a reversible receiving blanket out of. One side will have one kind of print and or pattern, flip it over, and it'll have a coordinating print, or a totally funky o posit one.

Are there any baby blank sewing communities? Like for flannel recieving blankets? or Toddler sheets

Maybe even they talk about making baby bibs too, Maybe even allows for selling of home made baby items?

Printable Cupcake wrappers

[solidsnstripes.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about cake decorating & cupcake decorating recently. I have a huge respect for cake decorators (professional or hobbyists). I want to decorate cakes for a hobby one day when I have more time. Until then, a quick and easy way to decorate cupcakes (essentially tiny cakes) is to use cupcake wrappers.

There are a few cupcake templates online. With these templates, you can use the template to cut out cupcake wrappers from decorative card stock or scrapbook paper or print them directly onto white card stock and use my designs.

The size is for the standard cupcake size.

Supplies :

*Cupcakes in their paper cups they were baked in
*Card stock and/or scrapbook paper
*scissors
*tape or hot glue

Step 1: Print the wrappers onto card stock

Step 2: Cut out the wrappers along the outside lines.

Step 3: Attach the two ends, slightly overlapped, with tape or hot glue.
( I prefer tape just because glue around food makes me nervous)

easy peasy!

ENJOY!

Hey everyone!  I've recently take up sewing and I thought I would share some pics of stuff that I've made. So far all I've done is fandom plushies for various friends. I've discovered that I don't like using patterns that I've bought (or the sewing machine really) so everything I've made is entirely handsewn and most of the patterns were made by me. The only exception is the pattern I used for the doll bodies, I found that on deviantArt. 

Sorry if you've seen this other places, I'm bored so I've been crossposting.
