Baby Leg Warmers

I LOVE Baby leg warmers! They're so practical. It keeps little legs warm and looks so cute under dresses

(or even  just with a onesie).

I also love that you can change a diaper without having to remove them.

The only thing is that they're hard to find at a good deal!

I just saw some for $15!

YIKES!

I don't know why they have to be so much.

Aren't they just socks with out feet?

Anyway I made some from socks that I got for $2!

MUCH BETTER.

And they're so EASY to make.

1) Cut the heal and toes off the socks. Then throw those parts away.

Now you have two little cuffs and two long socks.

2) Turn the cuffs and long socks inside out.

3) Take the cuff and fold it inside itself so that the wrong sides are

together inside, and the right sides are on the outside.

Fold till the raw edges are lined up.

4) Sew a zig-zag stitch all around inside the cuff as close to the raw edge as you can.

 The material tends to roll a bit so try to keep the edges together the best you can.

5) Slightly stretch the cuff as you sew around.

Here's your first cuff!

You can trim the excess edges off as needed.

6) Now take the long sock part and place the cuff all the way inside.

Line all the raw edges up together.

7) Sew around with a zig-zag stitch.

As you sew, stretch the cuff to the sock (but don't stretch the sock part).

8) Now pull it inside out and now to the other one.

FINISHED!

Just so cute on these little squishy legs!

Tiered Dessert Plates -With interchangeable designs!

This was one of those project that you're so glad when it's finished (and don't want to do again for a while).

But I do think that it really did turn out great!

I'm excited to use it, which will be tonight!

I used stove burner covers. And guess were I got them?

The dollar store of coarse!

(A lot of my crafts somehow involves the dollar store.)

Yeah they're not so cute here.

I got the 3rd top tier from the lid of a small round tin,

also from the dollar store.

Here's the tutorial:

You will need stove burners, or some kind of plate.

You will also need 3 short pedestals for the center.

Like these...

I found these in the stair rail/base board section of a home department store.

The first two were one piece that I cut in half (if you end up doing this make sure you cut it straight unlike mine. It caused me some havoc later on).

I also got three little round "feet" for the bottom tier.

1) Locate center and drill a hole (the hole is to drill the pedestals to).

2) Spray paint the tins (use a metal spray paint if it's on metal).

I used here a Black Satin Oil Rubbed Bronze

Do light coats and move away from puddles on newspaper so it won't stick to it.

3) Spray paint the pedestals. (I just used regular back spray paint since it was wood).

4) Once dried put tins and pedestals together.

Mine were screwed together. You can use a metal/wood glue for this part as well.

The bottom tin I screwed a few screw up through the bottom pedestal to stabilize it better.

5) Now if you like you can seal the wood to the tin a little better with glue. My pedestals were not cut very straight so I needed the glue. You may not have to do this part if it feels stable already.

6) Then I glued the  three little "feet" (I can't remember what these are called) to the bottom.

7) After the glue was dry you can give a another light coat of spray paint for a finishing touch . It gets a little scuffed up when you're trying to put the tiers together.

That's it for the tier stand!

I made one in a cream color too.

(The cream on needs another coat of spray paint, but I ran out).

But to make it even a little more interesting I added some scrapbook paper to the tin plates!

Just measure the tin plates and centers and cut out a circle.

Also cut a slit to the center in the paper (not shown here, but you can see in on the top pink tier in the last photo). Then slide it around the pedestals.

Tip: You'll want to make the large outer circle a bit smaller than the tin plates and the small inner circle a little larger. It just makes it easier to place it in.

The best part is you can change these out and match it for any occasion!
