OK they’re not really glass but what a cool recipe and tasty weird treat to make. Instructables provides many many cool and odd tutorials. I’m lucky enough to receive their newsletter twice a week and sometimes there’s something cool to share with all of you. Glass potato chips sound interesting…and they look really cool. I personally don’t know if I’ll take the time to make them but if any of you do let me know how they turn out…
Ever dreamed of sewing your own shoes? I recently stumbled across this Wayfarer Shoes Adult PDF Sewing Pattern on Etsy, and it instantly caught my eye—not just for the sleek and casual design, but for the practicality of being able to make something so unique and wearable right from home!
This pattern is clearly laid out and beginner-friendly, with step-by-step photo instructions that make it feel more like a cozy afternoon craft session than a daunting DIY project. The design is surprisingly versatile—you can use canvas, denim, or even upcycle fabric scraps to make something truly personal. And let’s talk comfort: the finished shoes are flexible and perfect for indoor lounging or quick errands. It’s the kind of project that makes you feel a little extra crafty and a lot proud.
What I really love is that it’s a digital download, so you can get started immediately—no waiting around for shipping. Plus, it makes for a fantastic handmade gift idea (think Mother’s Day, birthdays, or even matching family sets!).
If you’re looking to stretch your sewing skills beyond clothes and bags, this is the perfect weekend project to try. It’s practical, stylish, and just quirky enough to say, “Yes, I made these myself!” .
