Too Cute Tuesday: Popcorn Balls
Too Cute Tuesday is a weekly event involving a craft, a cocktail, and friends. To get crafty, check out the Too Cute Tuesday archives, follow Too Cute Tuesday on Facebook, or contact Nicole about crafting (we have a chapter in Saint Louis for example- wohoo!). With...Marketing Monday: Weardrobe.com
On Mondays, I explore individuals, companies, and websites that are using the internet in cool new ways. If you have an idea, contact me. I love feedback/inspiration!
A few weeks ago, my friend Annie posted this video, a girl who has written her own rap about H & M, a discount clothing store. (I’d embed the video if I could but do click the link. This gal is impressive!)
They sure don’t make 12 year olds like they used to. How cool that this girl expresses herself on her own Vimeo channel!
I started looking through her other videos when I found an interview Tavi G did with Rich at Weardrobe.com.
Weardrobe.com is not just what you wear but how you wear it. Real people submit photos of their outfits for voting on the site. The winner every month (the photo with the most ‘hearts’) wins a gift card. On the site are also blogs about style.
Also, they are very interested in promoting the work of other bloggers even off of their own website. They have a huge blogroll (list of links) and interviews with fashion/style bloggers.
You can connect to Weardrobe with the usual social media methods. Enthusiastic supporters can even display badges. on their sites (Want to make people want to link back to you? Give them something pretty like a badge to put on their website!)
Too Cute Tuesday: Batik T-shirts
What do you get when you mix tea dying with wax? Apparently batik.
Dorrie did some batik-ing back in her elementary days. “We made purses.” she said.
“What did the boys make?” I asked, since I am always that difficult friend.
“Man purses.” she said. After a pause, “Well, they gave it to their moms or whatever!”
Had those poor boys known that can batik any fabric they want, we may have more enthusiastic male fabric printers in this world. You know, or not.
Too Cute Tuesday: No Sew Bag Reprise
This week is another special Too Cute Tuesday. Both Sarah and Sue has visiting mothers who joined us in the fun. Kristy, who is Sarah’s replacement at her job, also came and hopefully will be a regular.
Tonight is Sarah’s last Tuesday, but we do hope she’ll Skype with us from Saint Louis! We thought a good note to go out on was a craft that Dorrie and I only did a long time ago, back when Too Cute Tuesday was gradually becoming a group event.
Materials:
Fabric
Interface (iron on stuff that makes fabric stiff)
Iron
Scissors
Staples
Duct tape
Ribbon (go thick), for strap material (optional, you can also use additional fabric for this)
Cocktail of the Night: Box o White Wine (at $2.67 a quart, it is certainly economical!)
If you need actual directions, here is the original link.
1. Buy the box of wine at the grocery store. Have an exchange with your usual check out guy about being a classy lady. Stop at your local fabric store and buy facing/interface. Drop supplies off at Craft Central.
