Fabric Covered Journals

Bandana Table Runner

( This would be so cute for a teenager birthday party, don't you think?)

Add a cheerful touch to the summer table with this patchwork-style runner. Line up enough bandannas to fit the length of a table, leaving some overhang, and stitch together. To back the runner, cut an old cotton tablecloth (any light-colored one will do) to match its width and length. Sew together along the edges or attach with iron-on bonding.

Some very cute totes to make...

Monogrammed Tote
You can monogram a canvas tote without a single stitch. Print the initial as large as possible from a computer, enlarge further on a photocopier, and cut out to make a pattern. Back fabric with fusible webbing, following the package directions. Lay the initial face down on the webbing side of the fabric; trace, and cut out. Center the letter on the bag, and iron on.

(LOVE THIS IDEA FOR A TEACHER, A GRANDMA OR A FRIEND!!!)

Easy Bird Feeder

The neighborhood feathered friends will love visiting your yard for this homemade treat. Mix peanut butter and vegetable shortening; melt in a microwave for 1 and 1/2" minutes on high. Mix in quick-cooking oats, cornmeal, and flour. Pack mixture into two paper cups, then cool. Remove from molds, and place in mesh bag, plastic clip side down. Secure open end of bag, and hang feeder from branches at a good height above ground.

Some yummy summer treats.... Banana Flowers

Banana FlowersThese enticing ice-cream blossoms are a sweet twist on the boat-shaped banana split. To make a flower, spoon a dollop of sticky marshmallow cream into the bottom of a small, shallow bowl; insert sliced banana petals all around. Add one large scoop of ice cream and plenty of your favorite sauce, then finish as extravagantly as you please.
