SoupSwapDay : petite soupe entre amis

Tweet

La journée nationale d’échange de soupe (ou le Soup Swap day) est née il y a 6 ans à Seattle. L’idée a fait son petit bonhomme de chemin et c’est maintenant dans plusieurs villes américaines que l’échange de soupe a lieu. Lorsque j’ai appris l’existence de cette initiative l’an dernier, j’ai bien entendu eu envie d’organiser un groupe d’échange!

Tutoriel : un foulard tendance

Tweet

Chaque année, nous avons un échange de cadeaux « fait main » au bureau. L’an dernier j’avais fait une poupée à l’effigie de la personne que j’avais tirée au sort lors de la pige. Cette année, le hasard m’a donné une amoureuse des foulards. J’avais donc le cadeau parfait pour elle, un foulard tendance inspiré par les produits Necklush.

Voici donc le tutoriel pour le réaliser.

Project : pumpkin carving

Tweet

I’m not really good at pumkin carving. I really wish I was! Some people a true artist in the pumpkin carving department like Scott Cummins or Nathan Wesling.

I’m not even close to be close to them! So this year I found this perfect project for me on the Martha Stewart Website!

Basically what you need to do is to be able to cut simple forms and then pin some of your drawing inside! What a clever way to make a nice, funny looking pumpkin!


Happy Halloween!

How to : Origami Picnic Basket

Tweet

The instructions for this project on Martha Stewart's website were so small and almost vague, that I’ve decided to make a how to help those who wanted to do the Origami picnic basket. Trying with paper first is a GREAT idea and help visualized the fold that needs to be done.

1- Take a square of paper.

2- Fold in two from left to right

3- Fold in two again from top to bottom

4- Then fold in two again from left to right

5- Make a squash-fold with the upper right corner


6- Fold in two the bottom corner right on the bottom corner left

7- Make a squash-fold with the upper right corner


8- Fold back the left bottom corner on the right bottom corner


9- Place the shape upside-down

10- Fold right upper corner in the center of the shape

11- Fold left upper corner in the center of the shape. The left part must be overlapping the right part

12- Turn the shape over and re-do steps 10 and 11

13- When working with paper, put one finger in the center of the shape to gently open it and with the other hand, flatten the bottom on the box.


14- Roll the border to make the handles.


15- Voilà!

When working with fabric, I found that the basket was unfortunately too soft to carry out my picnic. But it makes a nice box in paper :)

Hope it helps!
