First it burns, then it bleeds: The Creepy Hand Candle

September 20, 2017 by Vikram Goyal

These creepy halloween candles may be the creepiest idea for 2017 Halloween. Developed by the Creepy Candle company, these candles burn and then the flesh reveals to show blood coming out and then when all the burning is done, the skeleton is revealed.

Holy Cow!

This would become the most talked about Halloween decoration at our party.

Woolie and Furry Upcycled Slippers by Made By Barb

If you’re a fan of cozy, sustainable crafting, the Woolie & Furry Upcycled Slippers tutorial by Made By Barb is a must-try. This project combines creativity, comfort, and eco-consciousness, resulting in a pair of slippers that are both stylish and functional.

What Makes These Slippers Special?

Barb’s approach to slipper-making is rooted in upcycling, using materials like old Ugg boots, vintage wool blankets, and shearling from repurposed jackets. This not only gives new life to items that might otherwise be discarded but also ensures that each pair of slippers is unique. The use of thick, doubled wool provides substantial warmth and durability, making these slippers ideal for chilly mornings or lounging at home.

The Crafting Process

The tutorial is detailed and accessible, guiding you through each step with clear instructions and helpful tips. Barb introduces the concept of free-motion sewing, encouraging you to “doodle with a sewing machine” to create quilted patterns on the wool. This technique adds a personal touch to the slippers and enhances their texture. The pattern is designed for women’s size 8.5–9 feet but can be easily adjusted for different sizes by printing at a slightly smaller scale.

Materials You’ll Need

  • Old Ugg boots or shearling jackets

  • Vintage virgin wool blankets

  • Free-motion sewing foot for your sewing machine

  • Waxed thread and a strong needle

  • Contact cement for attaching soles

  • A pair of old sandals or flip-flops for the base

 

The Woolie & Furry Upcycled Slippers tutorial by Made By Barb is a delightful project for anyone interested in sustainable crafting. The slippers are not only warm and comfortable but also a testament to the beauty of upcycling. Whether you’re looking to treat yourself or create a thoughtful gift, this tutorial provides all the guidance you need to craft a pair of cozy slippers that are as unique as they are functional.
