Give an orphaned pillowcase a new home -- over your shoulder




1. Trim 1/4 inch off the closed end, and cut the case in half on the diagonal. Turn the fabric of each of the four diagonal cut edges over by 1/4 inch, twice; pin, and hem.


2. Place one pillowcase half inside the other, lining up bottom edges; pin, and sew at front where fabrics overlap. Repeat on other side. Turn fabric inside out, and hem case's cut bottom. Trim with pinking shears. Turn case right side out, tie top ends into a knot, and you have a carefree summer bag.

Wordle

Try this website:

http://www.wordle.net/create


Here's how to do it:

*Think of a theme for example...Wedding

*Next, think of all the words that have to do with the subject:

Jessica
Matt
Temple
Wedding
Happy
Forever
May
2007
ring
tux
dress
flowers

*Then Press Go

*It will automatically pick your colors, layout, and font for you. But, If you don't like them, you can customize them to your liking. Here's how:

-Find the button under the wordle that says "Randomize". This will rearrange the words in another arrangement. Click it until you're happy with it.

-Edit: Undo or redo things
-Language: You can change the language, or make it all uppercase, or lower case
-Font: Pick a font, they have numerous options
-Layout: You can choose to have it in alphabetical order, horizontal, vertical,etc.
-Color:I like to personalize mine to my own colors.

Here are the steps:
-Go to Color

-Then Pick "Edit Custom Palette"

-You can pick up to 5 custom colors.

Then if you're happy with everything print it and frame it.

Instead of printing it, I was thinking about actually cutting out letters using my Cricut, and arranging the words like the WORDLE I liked. I would then glue the arrangement down on card stock and frame it...
