So another resolution I made for this summer was to make something every day. In June I successfully did that, until we left for Greece. Since I have little access to supplies and such here, I decided to take a hiatus. But here are some photos of the things I made during the beginning of the month:

Friday, June 7

I made these shorts out of a dress I found at the thrift store. I really liked the tiny pattern and trim on the bottom, but the dress was an awkward shape, so I decided to deconstruct it for parts. The shorts are really comfy! They are serving me well on this trip because they work as both sleep shorts and daywear.




Saturday, June 8

I found this unicorn and rainbow fabric remnant at JoAnn Fabrics and I had to get it. Since the remnant piece wasn't big enough for anything else, I decided to make another pair of shorts. I really like them! You can"t really see in the photo, but the fabric is covered in glitter, which makes it, like, 48 times better. The only problem is that they get wrinkly quite quickly, so the need to be ironed a lot!

Okay, so I got a bit carried away with the shorts... These ones are made with some lace I found at the thrift store and some random polyester-ish fabric scraps I found. I like the light pink color on the white!

Whoa... I just realized the waistband looks all screwy in the picture. It doesn't actually look like that lol


Monday, June 10

I made a unicorn horn using something along the lines of this tutorial, except that I used flour and water papier mache paste because that is what I had. It's for a super-secret thing that you might see soon-ish!

















Tuesday, June 11

 Today's thing was a little lame, but in my defense I was distracted by thrift shopping and... um... eating? But I found this plaid skirt at the thrift store and hemmed it, so yeah.




























Wednesday, June 12

I made a camera strap cover with some of the extra fabric from my skirt-hemming adventure. It definitely brightens up the black-on black of my camera!

Thursday, June 13

 

I loved the way my camera strap cover turned out, so I made one for my aunt!

I also made this little zipper pouch for my other aunt!

Friday, June 14

These little notepads are made out of old record covers and bound with the Japanese stab method. I made them for Maggie and me so that we could use them to jot things down on the trip. They have definitely come in handy!

Saturday, June 15

I was supposed to spend Saturday packing and getting everything ready to go, but I hate packing! So I took a little break and worked on my Tarot deck. Here are the cards I made:

Two of these I actually did on Thursday and Friday, but I can't remember which ones! Whatever... And I realized that I haven't posted any pictures of my Tarot cards, so here are the rest of the ones I have finished so far:

Most of the images I used for these are from an old encyclopedia set I found at the thrift store. It is full of awesome photos and illustrations that I was so excited to use! I have finished eleven of the 22 cards in the Major Arcana, and then I have 56 Minor Arcana cards, but those will be a lot faster!

I feel like this is out of order as far as the day I made specific things, but I guess it doesn't really matter! I am really excited to make more things and post more as soon as I get home. A post with photos from Greece coming soon!
