Inclusions in Your Glass…

August 28, 2011 by Cathi Milligan

Want to add a little extra something something to your glass? Maybe some metal or perhaps bubbles? I was playing with bubbles today. Love bubbles. My favorite way to create bubbles in fused glass is to take two pieces of reeded glass and place them face to face, criss crossed  and then fuse. Perfect bubbles. Rows and rows of perfect bubbles. But what if you want something more random? Try a bit of baking soda. Some people make a thin paste with baking soda and water, such as Susan Hutsko, or you can try what I did, which was sift it on. Tomorrow I’m going to try a thin paste too. I did let the glass get too hot and had some out of control, giant bubbles. Not good. Ask Mr. Google about it and you can find a few sites with information.  And check out what some of them say about metals too…

Free Crochet Strawberry Ribbon Scrunchie Pattern

If your inner 2000s girl and your crochet hook had a sleepover party—this would be the result. The Strawberry Ribbon Scrunchie pattern from HiCrochet is the definition of kitsch kawaii cuteness, and I’m absolutely obsessed. Think: juicy red strawberries, dainty ribbons, and that nostalgic puffed-up scrunchie vibe that makes every outfit instantly more fun. Whether you’re accessorizing your ponytail or just want something ridiculously cute to pop on your wrist, this one is a must-make.

Honestly, I didn’t know how much I needed a strawberry scrunchie in my life until I saw this pattern. It’s quick, beginner-friendly, and has serious ?main character energy?. Make one in red for classic kawaii vibes, or switch it up with pastel pinks, soft yellows, or even glitter yarn if you’re feeling extra. Whether you’re making them for gifts, craft fairs, or your own hair-flipping moments, this scrunchie is sugar-sweet perfection. Let me know if you make one—I’ll be over here adding ribbon to everything.
