Crazy Hobbies

Step 7: Add a loop for hanging 1)   Take your chopstick (or other long, sharp tool) and poke it into the top of the ghost's head on one side, then back out the other side.  (See photos for placement of holes.) 2)   Remove the chopstick, then use it to push one of the garbage bag strips through the holes. 3)   Holding the ends of the strip, twirl it into a rope, then knot the ends together. 4)   Trim the ends of the knot, removing the excess, then carefully slide the loop until the knot is hidden inside the ghost's head. Now use the rest of the bags to make a second ghost, then go hang your spooky pair somewhere and enjoy!

Step 6: Add a face Pick the spot you like best and use your permanent black marker to draw a face on the ghost's head.  Give it a minute before touching the ink or it can smear.

Step 5: Tatter the ghost's body Start cutting the bag into strips from the edge towards the neck.  Stop your cuts a couple of inches from the neck so they don't get too narrow and fragile.  Your cuts will be wider at the bottom and may get quite narrow at the top.  (See the second image for a cutting guide.)  Perfection isn't needed here.  Just try to space them nicely. If you feel like your strips are getting too narrow at the top while being too wide at the bottom, you can trim the sides of the strips and discard the extra.

Step 4: Make the ghost's head 1)  Take the printed parts of two or three of the grocery bags and wad them into a ball.  Take the other halves of the bags (the blank sides) and wrap them around the ball so that the printing is concealed as much as possible.  (Some color will probably show through.) 2)   While still holding this wad of shopping bags, drape one half of the garbage bag over the ball, gathering the excess underneath. 3)   Use one of the strips cut from the garbage bag to tie the neck of the ghost just below the ball.

Step 3: Cut apart the shopping bags If your shopping bags have printing on one side, cut the bags apart to separate the printing from the blank bag.

Step 2: Cut apart the garbage bag 1)  Cut off the top edge, removing the channel that holds the drawstring. 2)  Cut two more strips from the edge of the bag.  Cut these strips in half so you have four total. 3)  Cut the bag open along the side seams, then cut the bag in half along the bottom fold. You should have two large squares now.

These cute little ghosts can be quickly and easily made with just a few household items. Step 1: Supplies 1 white kitchen garbage bag / bin liner 4-5 white plastic shopping bags scissors black permanent marker chopstick or other long, sharp tool  (a large nail will do) (optional) string or twine You will be able to make two ghosts from each garbage bag.

Step 10: Maze Game When the paint was dry, I put in a small ball ( from some kind of jewelry making kit ) and closed the maze with a lid.To keep it all together, I used a scotch tape. Now we can play our Pringles maze game. This is a great project to do with kids as you can design your own game.

Step 8: Maze Game I glued the cardboard to the plate, making walls for the maze. Step 9: Maze Game I painted everything yellow.

Step 6: Maze Game I cut a few strips of cadrboard from the Pringles tube. Step 7: Maze Game I drew two dots on the plate.

Step 5: Maze Game I cut off the bottom and cleaned off the "use by" date.

Step 4: Metal Drink Coaster Then I cleaned off the "use by" date. That's it! The bottom of Pringles can makes a perfect drink coaster.

Step 3: Metal Drink Coaster I cut off the bottom.

Step 2: Tuna Can Dispenser I cut two holes in the tube. One for tuna can dispensing and another to see how many cans we have left in the tube. Now I don't have to worry about knocking over the cans. When the tuna can is needed, just pull it out. The new can will take its place. This dispenser will always give you the oldest can first. First in - First Out!

There are so many things you can make from Pringles cans. Most likely you already know that Pringles can is perfect to store spaghetti. It is also great to make a custom speaker or store rolls of string. In this, we look at 3 more things you can do with your Pringles cans. Step 1: Tuna Can Dispenser To make more space in my food cupboard, I tried to stack tuna cans on top of each other. Unfortunately the cans I use are not designed for stacking, so I kept knocking them over. I covered the Pringles can with adhesive paper to make it more attractive.

Step 3: Enjoy!

Step 2: Folding When making curved folds I find its best to use a medium weight paper as the paper tends to stay in its desired shape better. For my piece I used Canson Mi-teintes drawing paper, which is available at most art stores. Begin by drawing a series of curves on the paper until you are happy with the design. Using a scoring implement, follow the lines to create a guide for the curved folds. The process of folding is quite easy but it may take some time to develop familiarity with it. Start at an end of one of the curves and begin folding little sections of the curve at a time until you have folded along the entire length. I find that things can get difficult once multiple curves have been folded. In these cases it may be best to flatten the whole piece of paper and work on the lines that were troubling. When the piece is complete try placing it in different lighting conditions that highlight the folds.

Step 1: Choosing A Scoring Implement Any number of household items can be used for scoring the paper. Nails, exact-o blades, compass points, safety pins, the list goes on... The important thing is that implement chosen does not tear the surface of the paper or cut through it. For this instructable I used the end of a T-pin in combination with the body of a mechanical pencil. Before starting on the project, I did a few tests to compare the effectiveness of a nail and the T-pin. I found that the T-pin tore the rough side of the paper I was using but worked well on the smooth side of the paper, providing a crisp, sharp edge. The nail worked fine but made a less defined edge.

Hello! In this  I will introduce the basics of curved paper folding. You'll need the following to get started: -medium weight paper such as Canson Mi-Teintes -implement for scoring paper -pencil -eraser -cutting mat

Step 9: Leather Key Fob You'll need a template for the key fob. Place the template on the leather and trace the sides. Fold the leather into half and cut it according to the template. Take a key ring big enough to attach the leather fob with it. Insert the cutout leather piece into the ring with its wrong side facing up and bring it to the middle. Apply glue on any one side of the wrong side evenly. Bring the other side and join it with the glued part. Press the folded part to make sure that it is glued nicely. We will stitch around the border of it. Use a pencil to mark the stitching line.Place the fob on a wooden board. Use an awl and hammer to punch the holes. Punching holes makes it easier to stitch. Prepare needle and thread. Start stitching from any one side. I did flat blanket stitches.Stitch all the way to the other side. Tie knot and cut off extra thread. Cute and simple! You can make more fun fun patterns. Enjoy!

Step 8: Leather Jewelries The best way to use the smallest scrap leather is to make these simple jewelries. With a tiny pieces of leather you can make these cute and simple stud earrings and rings. Adjust and cut the leather into a nice shape, I used square, pentagon and triangle would look nice as well. Apply glue on the leather pieces, you can keep a pattern for the glue or simply apply it all over the pieces. Sprinkle dry glitter powder on the glued area and allow the glue to dry. Remove extra glitter after the glue dries. Simply glue a blank ear-top or blank ring to make your jewelries. Thanks for reading my ible. Enjoy making some!

Step 7: Mini Leather Pouches You can also use 2-3 inches left over leather pieces to make this pouch. I made this one for keeping coins, I'm going to make another one for my flash drive. Anyways, you will need to cut 4 small leather pieces. 2 same sized pieces for the body part, 1 strip for the closure and 1 strip for the flap. Place the body pieces together, with their wrong sides facing each other and the right sides facing out. Place the closure strip on the top piece as you can see in the 2nd picture of the first collage. Place them on a wooden board and create holes along the sides for stitching. Prepare your needle and thread and do flat blanket stitches along the sides to attach the body pieces and the closure together. Tie a knot at the end, cut off extra thread. Place the flap piece on the center of the width. To attach the flap with the pouch simply do a cross stitch. and the pouch is ready! You can make mini pouches and bags for mini gadget

Step 6: Leather Accessories Leather Charm-1: Fold the leather strip into half. Tie a small knot near the closed end, make sure to keep a loop. Start beading the strip through the open end. Bead to as much as you want, but remember to keep enough strip to create another knot at the end. Tie another knot at the end after you're done beading. The knot should be adjacent to the last bead. Leather Charm-2: For this one a 4 X 6 cm piece of leather should work. Mark a line to keep 1 cm of the cut out leather intact. Cut fine and even fringes on the leather piece. Take a 0.5 X 8 cm piece of leather. Fold it into half and insert the wooden bead into the folded leather strip. Apply glue along the intact part of the fringed leather. Place the beaded leather strip with the fringed leather piece as shown in the picture. Start rolling the fringed leather by keeping the beaded leather strip secure inside the roll. After you're done rolling the leather, use a c

Step 5: Leather Bracelets These leather bracelets don't require much leather. You can use scrap leather strips to make them. The links to tutorials are given below- Magic braided bracelet  and Leather wrap bracelet .
