Cvijet od svile / Silk Flower

Već sam napravila tutorial za ovakav cvijet. Ovdje. A danas samo želim podijeliti s vama jedan mali trik. Vjerojatno mnogi to već rade, ali meni je trebalo vremena da to smislim. Uglavnom, znate kako se svila ne može "slijepiti" kada se pale rubovi. (Jer svila nema plastike u sebi). I zato, unatoč tome što je palim, ipak se stvaraju resice. Ja ih riješavam na dva načina. Ili rub prođem prozirnim ljepilom ili lakom (naravno s dojnje strane). I nema više resanja :)

Do you remember mine tutorial with silk flower? You can see it here. Well, there is one thing with silk... If you burn edges, it doesn't mean that silk won't make fringes. Becouse, it is going to. (There isn't any plastic in that fabric, so you can't melt it). 

What do I do? I glue edges, or I apply nail polish. And, that's how I prevent fraying. (You probably knew this trick, but I spent a lot of time in getting there, so... I'm glad if I helped someone)

I'm linking up on those lovely parties.



UPDATE:
I have big problem!

I can't upload any new photo. 

We have 1 GB of free memory space on Picasa web-album, and I've used it. Now, if I try to upload new photo, I get message that I should buy extra memory space. (And, I can't delete any old photo in Picasa, in order to make space, because, it will be deleted from mine blog too. )

Do I really have to buy that memory space???

Is there any trick to avoid that???

Does any of you know what would be smart (and CRAFT-y) thing to do?

Cvijet od organze 2. / Organza flower 2.

Organza mi se čini kao jako zanimljiv materijal koji zapravo tek čeka kada ću otkriti za što je sve spreman i sposoban. Mislim kako svi, ali baš svi znaju napraviti ovakav cvijet od organze. Ali, ja sam pronašla još jedan (i meni puno ljepši) način kako napraviti prekrasan cvijet od organze sa laticama. Moguće je da već mnogi ovako rade, i da ja samo otkrivam toplu vodu, ali iskreno, ne sjećam se da sam negdje ga vidjela, pa evo, poklanjam vam tutorijal kako ga ja pravim :)))

I believe that I didn't discover all secrets of organza. And, it is waiting for me to start playing with it :) I think that everybody knows how to make this kind of a flower, but I have another version of organza flower with petals. I like to think that I invented it :))) 

Well, here is tutorial to mine organza flower :) Tousled Days Organza Flower :)))

Plastična tratinčica / Plastic Daisy

Plastični cvijet napravljen je od prazne boce šampona. Prava proljetna tratinčica koja će unijeti malo vedrine u bilo koju kombinaciju ovih mjeseci.

Plastic flower is made out of empty bottle of shampoo. This DIY daisy is going to bring in some liveliness in mine outfit.

Cvijet od ostataka majice / Flower made with leftovers

Dvije stvari u svom hobiju volim; kada je nešto jednostavno i kada ne trošim.

Praveći šal od majice, ostalo mi je materijala. ovaj veći dio će se već iskoristiti, ali onaj dojnji rub je bio osuđen na propast. Pa što bih od njega?! Eeee, napravi cvijet! "Štedljivi i snalažljivi" cvijet.... Cvijet je, dakle, napravljen od tkanine sa ruba maice.

I made infinity scarf, few days ago. And, I had a lot of leftovers. Here is how I used this bottom strape. I made flower. Savvy flower... Now, I'm wearing mine scarf and mine flower, together.
