How to Make: Key Ring Chapstick Holder

(Note: If you are unsure as how to sew, you can find my video here: https://youtu.be/-9vCHWlE75g)

A key ring chapstick holder is great so you’ll never lose your chapstick, and you’ll always have it with you, wherever you go. I was able to make this project in about an hour, sewing it by hand.
You will need:
-Fabric scissors
-Fabric
-Needle and thread
-Iron

To start, you should cut out a rectangle of fabric, 10”x2”.

How to Make: A Make a 9x9" Pillow- Part 2



The first part of my diy can be found here.


Before I show you how to cut out the backing of your pillow, I wanted to talk about iron safety. I probably should have put this in last week’s post since I told you to iron the squares, but it’s too late now.
Before starting to iron, you should clear off your ironing board, so there is nothing on it, but your iron and what you are ironing. I usually set my iron on one of the middle settings. There is a little chart on mine telling me what to set it at, depending on the fabric I’m ironing.

How to: Make a 9x9" Pillow- Part 1

This cute little pillow is a great project for someone who has very little sewing experience, or this is your first sewing project. It also makes a perfect gift, because it can easily be made in a weekend. 

You will need:
-2-3 colors of fabric
-Sharp sewing scissors
-Pins
-Needle and thread
-Ruler
-A cat to sit on your fabric and make sure it’s soft enough
-An iron and an ironing board

I first picked out my fabric colors. I picked colors that went well together, sort of blues and greens.
