Cute site . I found many interesting printables for father's day . TFS .

You can take a couple of Hershey's kisses & make a long stemed rose from them. Get the red wrapped ones & if I remember right you put the bottoms of 2 together & wrap it with plastic wrap & you attach it to a flower stem with floral tape & add a couple of silk rose leaves, makes a very pretty long stemed rose. I've got 1 in craft room I might be able to find. So great for nursing homes, club members,church ladies, Mother & grandmas & neighbor lady. When they finish looking at it & Valentine's day is over they get to eat it!!!!You can put a rose in a vase from TS if you want to get fancy. VEry inexpensive to make!!! Jan

Sue used to collect old clothing and cut it into strips about 4" wide, and old nylons and pantyhose that she cut into strips, rolled them, lay them along the middle of the clothing strips, then lifted the edges, turned the cut ends inside and sewed the cloth into a tube, with the pantyhose strips inside, that she then lay alongside other similar tubes and sewed them together into what became a rather large rug. It was rather difficult to arrange the adjustment as one went around the ends so that it lay flat and didn't bunch up. ole joyful

terriks, I haven't made much progress, but I've played around and learned a little that might be helpful to you. I started stenciling with the ikat stencil and was really unhappy with how it was turning out. It had way too much painted area and too little unpainted white fabric. The fabric was sucking up gobs of paint, and I wasn't able to get the paint even enough to look good with sunlight shining through. I tried diluting the paint with more and more of the paint medium, but that didn't seem to help. I used the foam roller and wiped off the excess paint, just like the instructions said, but it just wasn't working. So I ordered a different stencil. I went with the kaliedascope pattern, from the same website as the first stencil. I like this stencil much better in terms of the painted-area-to-unpainted-area ratio. The result was much more airy looking. I practiced on the same curtain panel that I already ruined with the ikat stencil (thank goodness for $10 curtain panels!). But now I'm re-thinking what color paint to use, so I haven't moved forward with painting. And in the meantime, I put the unpainted white Ikea curtains up in the living room and am enjoying the serene look of the plain white curtains. I'm still planning to do the stenciling, but have temporarily lost steam. I found that I did not have to clean the stencil off as I moved it to new spots across the curtain. I thought I would, but no paint was getting on the back and messing it up. I think this was because the spray adhesive kept the stencil snug to the fabric. Even with the ikat stencil which used so much paint, I wasn't having to clean it off. I was tempted by the production stencil too, but I don't think you need to spend the extra money -- the regular size worked just fine. Hope this helps!
