DIY Upcycled Heineken Big Mug

July 21, by Shellie Wilson.

I love a project that shows you how to recycle or upcycle glass bottles, I am not a fan of the handle, but it would look really cool in a bar or man cave. This tutorial suggests using a glass cutter, but a great investment is a bottle cutter. They are safer to use and allow for straighter neater cut lines. Perfect addition to your craft supplies, especially if you plan on making a few of these for a full bar set. These glass bottle mugs would make great father’s day gifts too.

You can see the full tutorial here.

Pumpkin Cross Stitch Patterns

I feel the urge to rush fall along this year and kind of want to head right into spooky season (thus the posts about haunted houses and ghosts!) but I know we should also take a moment to give fall its due. And I do love fall, which is why I shared some fall leaf cross stitch patterns, too.

I thought one way to celebrate fall without getting too Halloween would be to look for some pumpkin cross stitch patterns that aren’t jack o’lanterns. These can be used to decorate all the way through Thanksgiving, and some of the little ones you could even stitch on cloth napkins for your holiday table, like the mini pumpkin pattern from Craft with Cartwright. 

This one is just 39 by 36 stitches, or less than 3 inches around, and it uses three colors.

The individual pumpkins in this pumpkin sampler could be stitched individually on smaller projects if you wanted. It’s from Cross with Me on Etsy and features plain pumpkins in different colors and plaid pumpkins. As shown it measures 7.5 by 7.36 inches and is 105 by 103 stitches. It uses five colors.

One cool thing about cross stitch is that you can use designs made for other crafts to make cross stitch projects. For example, beading charts also use squares and you can stitch the same pattern just fine. This pumpkin stack from Bracelet Book includes the word Boo but you could just stitch those areas in the same color as the pumpkin if you want to keep it plain.

Demented Stitchers on Etsy has a pretty pumpkin cross stitch pattern that looks like it was stenciled. This is a great one for beginners to try as it’s only 71 by 76 stitches, or about 4.4 by 4.7 inches on 14 count fabric, and it uses three colors.

For a bit of a fancier look, try this scroll pumpkin pattern from Annie’s. It’s rated easy and it looks like it uses about five colors.
