I had a lot of art shows canceled and I was really missing the sense of community. I spotted the hashtag #putartinyouryard and got an idea. I put plastic pockets on my fence with a piece of cardstock in each one stamped with the words "Your Art Here". I also made a sign inviting artists of all ages to pop a piece of art in a pocket.<br />

Well, it didn't take long and my Burbank Neighborhood Gallery grew!<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20099" height="400" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2020/06/97974841_10222769432493994_8258959743540789248_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />
Artists came by and shared their art. If you have a way to display art in your yard I highly recommend it. It really has brightened everyone's day and we could all use a little more of that :)<br />

There are photographs, paintings, drawings, quilting, collage, and dried flowers.<br />

<br />
I hope this crocheted toilet paper cozy that looks like a roll of toilet paper makes you laugh as much as it make me laugh. It seems like a good time to share this throw back craft, after all I think we need all the laughter we can get.<br />
<br />
I was on a tp cozy making kick for awhile as I don't have much storage space in my bathroom so I thought fun tp cozies would be the answer. I was chatting with a friend about this and somehow the idea of making a tp cozy that looked like a roll of toilet paper would be funny.<br />
<br />
So as a crocheter I decided to crochet a TP cozy that looked like a roll of toilet paper.<br />
<br />
If you think this is a funny idea too here is the pattern I used originally posted over at Craftside. There are some <a href="https://craftside.typepad.com/craftside/2009/04/crocheted-roll-of-toilet-paper-cozy-cover-that-looks.html" target="_blank">funny comments on my original post</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
To make your own TP cozy you'll need:<br />
<strong>Materials</strong><br />
Gray worsted weight yarn<br />
White Worsted weight yarn<br />
size H crochet hook<br />
yarn needle<br />
<br />
<strong>How to crochet the roll of toilet paper cozy:</strong><br />
With the gray yarn:<br />
Chain 4 and slip stitch to join<br />
Chain 1<br />
About 15 sc into circle and join<br />
chain 1<br />
single
crochet around again, about every 3rd or 4th stitch do a second sc in
the same loop. This will increase the size of the circle allowing it to
stay flat. Adjust number of stitches as needed to lay flat.<br />
Cut gray yarn and weave in the end.<br />
With the white yarn:<br />
SC
around gray circle every few stitches doing two sc in one loop. Join
each circle, then chain 1 and repeat until you have a circle the size of
your roll of toilet paper. For me this was about 6 rows (circles)<br />
For the side:<br />
Chain 15<br />
Chain 1 and sc into second to last stitch.<br />
SC
back into every chain stitch, chain 1, turn and sc back into every
stitch. Adjust number of stitches as needed for your roll of toilet
paper.<br />
Repeat until you have a strip long enough to go around the
entire roll of toilet paper plus a few inches to fall open. For me it
was about 20 inches.<br />
Stitch the top to the sides and then join the beginning of the side strip under the falling open end.<br />
Weave in all the ends.<br />
<br />
Giggle appropriately.Plaidcrafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13283444582784781927noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983871227105153547.post-82479915435302998012020-01-29T09:14:00.000-08:002020-01-29T09:21:42.959-08:00Stefanie Girard solo art show at Karizma Hair Studio <img alt="stefanie Girard, Stefanie L.

Art is not just for galleries anymore! I was invited to display my art in <a href="https://karizma-hair-studio.business.site/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Karizma Hair Studio</a> in Thousand Oaks, CA. The invitation came after I was telling the owner that we were invited by a building owner to use her lobby as a gallery. Here is another walk through video of the show that features mixed-media collage, embroidery and paintings.<br />

I have been creating with pom poms my whole life. This is my first art piece created with pom poms. Braille type is created with the pom poms and this piece says "Not everything is black and white". It is part of the <a href="https://www.burbankartassociation.org/" target="_blank">Burbank Art Association</a> Board show at the Geo Gallery titled -“Salt & Pepper - An Adventure in Monochromatic Art”<br />

Not only am I part of the show I helped hang it. It's a lot like my first career out in Los Angeles as a set decorator. Here I am with my fellow art installer Teresa after a long day of making a lot of decisions and holding up a lot of art :)Plaidcrafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13283444582784781927noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983871227105153547.post-27124202906703249882020-01-10T14:24:00.002-08:002020-01-15T09:45:17.214-08:00Recycled Art and design retrospective at the Glendale Main Library by Stefanie GirardWatch a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szAi0yuElBI&list=PLIRe8Pyg5mHon_A-W8aYMzwuCXleE6_5Y" target="_blank">video that features close-ups</a> of this fun case.<br />

This was fun to put together as I have been creating recycled things for a loooooong time! Some of these projects are from my book <i><b>Sweater Surgery</b></i>, some have been featured here or on other websites. And some are brand new!

I love the shape of a pill and I have been creating lots of paintings and collages with the capsule as the focal image. Here are 3 pieces. The tall one and the pink one are currently on display with the <a href="https://www.collageartists.org/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Collage Artists Of America</a> Show at the San Fernando Valley Arts and Cultural Center. They are all made with recycled elements.<br />

Today is the first day of lent so that means I can officially start crafting for Easter and I whipped up this HOP TO IT sign with 6 inch letter dies, a bit of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B07BMKMBQ5/sweatsurge-20" rel="noopener" target="_blank">scrapbook paper</a>, and of all things binder clips!<br />
<img alt="die cut letter sign Easter, die cut letters, Liberty Sprinkles, Stefanie Girard, Hop to it" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16342" height="376" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/03/Hop-to-it-Easter-sign-die-cut-letters.jpg" title="" width="400" /><br />
I picked out a variety of colors of scrapbook paper with different prints and then die cut them taking care to place the dies on the squares slightly off center as I will use the outside die cuts in future projects- you know how I love twofers!<br />
<img alt="die cut letter sign Easter, die cut letters, Liberty Sprinkles, Stefanie Girard, Hop to it" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16343" height="390" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/03/die-cu-thop-to-it-letter-sign-Easter.jpg" title="" width="400" /><br />
I also cut a set of these letters out in black and white print paper. The only letter that doesn't flip is the "P" so I had to make 2 letter P's. All the other letters when flipped are in the right direction.<br />
I glued all the letters back to back and this made them stand up.<br />
<img alt="die cut letter sign Easter, die cut letters, Liberty Sprinkles, Stefanie Girard, Hop to it" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16344" height="374" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/03/how-to-make-paper-die-cut-letters-stand-up.jpg" title="" width="400" /><br />
For the stands I used binder clips embellished with organza ribbon and buttons. I arranged the letters on the shelf with pretty Easter eggs in front of the clips and a few bunnies.<br />
Since "HOP TO IT" works as an inspirational quote I will flip the letters over and use the black and white side after Easter.

Yesterday I posted the <a href="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/the-easiest-lucky-banner-for-st-patricks-day-and-bonus-craft-supplies/2019/02/18/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">easiest Lucky St. Paterick's Day banner tutorial</a> and I promised the first of the projects I plan to make with the outside or negative die cut leftover from the letters.<br />
<br />
Along with the recycled die cut paper letter I used one of my watercolor pill paintings that are painted with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0748VHM2T/sweatsurge-20" rel="noopener" target="_blank">metallic watercolors</a>.<br />

In addition to the pill painting and the negative outline of the die cut letter K leftover from my Lucky banner project I rubber stamped the quote "Think about it". I may add some washi tape or fabric scraps to this junk journal collage art page but for now I like it with just these elements.Plaidcrafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13283444582784781927noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983871227105153547.post-77390807209001190012019-03-01T08:06:00.000-08:002019-03-01T08:06:19.562-08:00How to die cut the easiest St. Patrick's Day Lucky Banner<img alt="Lucky St. Patrick's Day Banner, Stefanie Girard, Liberty Sprinkles, Die cut letters" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16270" height="400" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/02/St-Patricks-day-luck-die-cut-banner.jpg" title="" width="400" /><br />
Don't you feel "Lucky" when you are crafting and you get two items out of one action? I love it and that's just what you get when you die cut these letters out of rectangles of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00EVJ0LOQ/sweatsurge-20" rel="noopener" target="_blank">pretty green pattern papers</a> to make a St. Patrick's Day banner.<br />

Gather up your green printed papers.<br />
<img alt="Lucky St. Patrick's Day Banner, Stefanie Girard, Liberty Sprinkles, Die cut letters" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16272" height="400" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/02/St.-Patricks-day-Lucky-banner.jpg" title="" width="400" /><br />
Then lay out the Lucky 6 inch die cut letters in the order you want the prints to be.<br />
<img alt="Lucky St. Patrick's Day Banner, Stefanie Girard, Liberty Sprinkles, Die cut letters" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16273" height="400" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/02/6-inch-die-cut-lucky-St.-patricks-Day-banner.jpg" title="" width="400" /><br />
I trimmed down each paper to a rectangle and then die cut each 6 inch banner letter centered in the rectangle. This is where you get the second bonus letter to use the negative die cut for another project. I will post the first of those designs tomorrow so be sure to come on back!<br />

I use a bit of washi tape to secure the large alphabet die exactly where I want it cut out on the page.<br />
Then I simply used tiny clothes pins on a length of green cotton yarn to hang the big die cut Lucky letters.<br />
<br />
If you were wondering- that is my pet rock in a recycled turtleneck sweater I made. The pin says, "Rockin' it old school" (pun intended) I also added a fun shamrock button to the sweater to add a bit more St. Patrick's Day fun to my display.Plaidcrafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13283444582784781927noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983871227105153547.post-82682528131749250492019-02-27T19:50:00.001-08:002019-02-27T19:50:17.367-08:00Easy die cut MOM Mother's day card with giant die cut letters<img alt="MOM card, Mother's Day card, die cut letters, Stefanie Girard, Liberty Sprinkles" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16314" height="393" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/02/mom-die-cut-letter-Mothers-day-card.jpg" title="" width="400" /><br />
I am thinking ahead to Mother's Day and if you are too how about this for a fun big MOM card that can be made out of virtually any paper combo and I used 6 inch letter dies along with some flower embellishments and a button.<br />
<img alt="MOM card, Mother's Day card, die cut letters, Stefanie Girard, Liberty Sprinkles" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16315" height="376" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/02/MOM-die-cut-letter-easy-card-making.jpg" title="" width="400" /><br />
The fun part of this gate fold card is that when it is closed the first and last M of MOM meet to make 1 big M.<br />
<img alt="MOM card, Mother's Day card, die cut letters, Stefanie Girard, Liberty Sprinkles" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16316" height="351" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/02/MOM-die-cut-Mothers-Day-card.jpg" title="" width="400" /><br />
I die cut 2 M's out of different striped paper and 1 O out of paper that had all different words for Mother.<br />
<img alt="MOM card, Mother's Day card, die cut letters, Stefanie Girard, Liberty Sprinkles" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16317" height="387" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/02/gate-fold-mom-mothers-day-card.jpg" title="" width="400" /><br />
I used some old cardstock from the office supply stash I had around for the base of the gate fold card.<br />
<img alt="MOM card, Mother's Day card, die cut letters, Stefanie Girard, Liberty Sprinkles" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16318" height="400" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/02/easy-Mothers-day-gate-fold-card.jpg" title="" width="384" /><br />
I glued each of the M's down to a piece of cardstock in the same mirrored position and folded it down the center of each M and then along the inside edge of the M.<br />
Then I cut a piece of cardstock down to the size of the O and glued them all together.<br />
The then trimmed up the top edge of the card when it was all folded closed.<br />
<img alt="MOM card, Mother's Day card, die cut letters, Stefanie Girard, Liberty Sprinkles" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16319" height="400" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/02/Mothers-day-card-with-die-cut-letters.jpg" title="" width="374" /><br />
To add one fun little touch I glued a few layers of pressed flowers together along with a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00XALR3I8/sweatsurge-20" rel="noopener" target="_blank">pretty flower button</a>.<br />
If you add a paper clip this can keep the card folded closed too.Plaidcrafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13283444582784781927noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983871227105153547.post-48428621894016514062019-02-26T19:37:00.001-08:002019-02-26T19:37:06.414-08:00How to make a Super sized die cut letter book cover<img alt="alphabet letter die cut, Liberty Sprinkles, Stefanie Girard, junk journal, book page" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16288" height="400" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/02/die-cut-letter-book-cover-Mod-Podge.jpg" title="" width="400" /><br />
If you like experimenting with colorants, adhesives and coatings in you art making and crafting I have a few fun tips and tutorials for you today. I was given a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B007HONQOO/sweatsurge-20" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Smash Pocket Folio</a> for Christmas and I thought I'd start altering it by working on the cover.<br />
<img alt="alphabet letter die cut, Liberty Sprinkles, Stefanie Girard, junk journal, book page" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16289" height="400" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/02/die-cut-altered-letters-with-eyeshadow.jpg" title="" width="400" /><br />
Being that my name starts with "S" that was going to be my giant 6 inch die cut letter to embellish the big cover.<br />
<img alt="alphabet letter die cut, Liberty Sprinkles, Stefanie Girard, junk journal, book page" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16290" height="400" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/02/eye-shadow-edge-paper-die-cut-letters.jpg" title="" width="400" /><br />
I posted a while back a tutorial on <a href="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/how-to-make-your-own-metallic-watercolor-paints/2019/02/04/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">how to make watercolor paint</a> with eye shadow and I was wondering how it would be to use the eye shadow directly on paper.<br />
<img alt="alphabet letter die cut, Liberty Sprinkles, Stefanie Girard, junk journal, book page" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16291" height="400" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/02/eyeshadow-edging-on-die-cut-letters.jpg" title="" width="400" /><br />
I wanted to get a twofer out of this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00W5RQ2QM/sweatsurge-20" rel="noopener" target="_blank">eye shadow</a> edging technique so I placed the diecut on another piece of paper and held it still so that as I applied the eye shadow along the edge with a Q-tip I would get another letter S.<br />
<img alt="alphabet letter die cut, Liberty Sprinkles, Stefanie Girard, junk journal, book page" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16292" height="400" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/02/die-cut-giant-letter-book-page-recycle.jpg" title="" width="400" /><br />
I chose the pink outline letter S with a recycled dictionary page featuring words that begin with the letter S behind it to embellish the junk journal cover.<br />
<br />
I first spritzed a light coating of the new <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0018N7J8E/sweatsurge-20" rel="noopener" target="_blank">spray on Matt Mod Podge</a> onto the cover and placed the recycled dictionary page on it.<br />
<br />
Then I spritzed another coat over the page and placed the die cut window outline of the letter S.<br />
<br />
Finally I spritzed a final coat of Spray on Mod Podge onto the eye shadow embellished letter S.<br />
It worked great and didn't smudge the eye shadow at all!Plaidcrafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13283444582784781927noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983871227105153547.post-33278584555508867152019-02-26T19:25:00.001-08:002019-02-26T19:27:44.287-08:00How to make a no-sew XO Valentine pillow<img alt="die cut letters alphabet, no-sew, applique, Stefanie Girard, Liberty Sprinkles" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16245" height="400" src="https://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2019/02/giant-die-cut-letter-xo-Valentine-pillow.jpg" title="" width="364" /><br />
I am so excited about these giant 6 inch alphabet letter dies. I have been lucky enough to get an advance set of the 26 letter dies.<br />
<br />
Do they look like something you would like to add to your die collection and use to make all sorts of things like this <b>no-sew XO Valentine's Day pillow</b> and other things like party banners, greeting cards, scrapbook pages, altered book pages, art, and so much more?

First up I ironed some <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000XAMYXI/sweatsurge-20" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Heat n Bond</a> onto the back of some cute pink polka dot quilt fabric.<br />

Then I die cut the giant 6 inch letter die X first.<br />

Then I lined up the 6 inch letter die "O" and secured it with a bit of washi tape so it didn't shift out of alignment while die cutting.<br />

Two perfect 6 inch die cut block letters ready to iron onto a pillow case to upcycle it for Valentine's Day.<br />

I slipped the pillow case over the pillow and used a bit of washi tape again to place the iron-on die cut six inch letters.<br />
<br />
Then I slipped the pillow case off, pealed the backing paper of off the die cut letters and ironed the die cut letters X and O onto the pink plaid pillow case.<br />
<br />
I am looking forward to adding all sorts of words and letters onto everything using these new 6 inch letter dies.<br />

I wanted to share with you a few pieces of art I have been making. This first piece above is a Christmas card that I then added all sorts of other bits of art and washi tape. The envelope is embellished with washi tape and rubber stamped and I used a collection of vintage postage for mailing.<br />

This art card I also used a bunny paper punch for some negative space.<br />

This is another mail art envelope that I had so much fun collaging the vintage postage and rubber stamping. I highly recommend sending out paper mail and you just might get some back in your mailbox!

I love to rearrange things. That includes my art. This piece is made of lathing strips (thin strips of wood used when you plaster walls.<br />
<br />
Here are a bunch of arrangements:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfCjA2v1ST91_9KxYcwBQE-LvowaClea_y-B7HC3kBN7hvbyZqqpmcNxQARB3IuuT2syN5qih1bwcK4ZK4KZPg-_rDsnTrKYs4rwa0TcH5HlJcua2A8AWdkkyMDDJU_sB0YKPVFtWlfE0/s1600/modern+minimal+painting+stefanie+girard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="modern art stripes movable painting stefanie girard" border="0" data-original-height="1531" data-original-width="1600" height="382" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfCjA2v1ST91_9KxYcwBQE-LvowaClea_y-B7HC3kBN7hvbyZqqpmcNxQARB3IuuT2syN5qih1bwcK4ZK4KZPg-_rDsnTrKYs4rwa0TcH5HlJcua2A8AWdkkyMDDJU_sB0YKPVFtWlfE0/s400/modern+minimal+painting+stefanie+girard.jpg" title="" width="400" /></a></div>
I like looking at an arrangement for awhile and then I move the painted strips around.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf36OBcT-BFDDRqSd9n_qQoneXMtG3nGuo9NY2ciYYT7eWNrM53YWGFNofxJ_z30jdMUc5yZcl3pwFNRvOQP6zEPNabO-RhhupyT9_wDkDjAKEi1CIRICCMwTjqNjH8qmChXxmfKmdYsA/s1600/moveable+stripes+modern+art+minimalist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="modern art stripes movable painting stefanie girard" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1594" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf36OBcT-BFDDRqSd9n_qQoneXMtG3nGuo9NY2ciYYT7eWNrM53YWGFNofxJ_z30jdMUc5yZcl3pwFNRvOQP6zEPNabO-RhhupyT9_wDkDjAKEi1CIRICCMwTjqNjH8qmChXxmfKmdYsA/s400/moveable+stripes+modern+art+minimalist.jpg" title="" width="397" /></a></div>
I plan on painting some more strips of wood. It really can be endless.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1ui5Wz42qd8_IY6EX3FSuD_A6qWX8mBU3ljOmPwGGdcICW45Wr1LDUgdg6yKC2TkfCOz8H7SLb5GhyzC50aRjRj8ePwfEJQXfN5P4EkVdkWLQaHawMLERAl2lVMIxlyQXWFcPB5GjDBU/s1600/wood+slat+modern+art+stefanie+Girard+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="modern art stripes movable painting stefanie girard" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1585" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1ui5Wz42qd8_IY6EX3FSuD_A6qWX8mBU3ljOmPwGGdcICW45Wr1LDUgdg6yKC2TkfCOz8H7SLb5GhyzC50aRjRj8ePwfEJQXfN5P4EkVdkWLQaHawMLERAl2lVMIxlyQXWFcPB5GjDBU/s400/wood+slat+modern+art+stefanie+Girard+2.jpg" title="" width="395" /></a></div>
<br />
To make the base I simply made a base with the strips and put tiny nails on the vertical pieces of wood.<br />
I did this a bit loose so the strips could move.<br />
<br />
The bottom piece is glued in place.<br />

<br />
Today I want to share with you an art installation piece that I recently exhibited. It's made up of over 150 fabric covered (recycled) wood blocks.<br />
<br />
About half of them have embroidered quotes and words on them. They are mounted on coated galvanized metal and I move them around to create different arrangements. Here are 5 arrangements and some close-ups of a few of the blocks. If you want to see all the embroidery you can pop over to the hashtag <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/stefanieembroiders/?hl=en" rel="noopener" target="_blank">#stefanieembroiders</a> on my Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stefanielgirard/?hl=en" rel="noopener" target="_blank">@stefanielgirard</a>. I am constantly making more and creating new arrangements so feel free to follow them!<br />
