Sea Glass Tray Tutorial

Sea Glass Mosaic Tray

I went looking for a tutorial to end the month and I found such a pretty one over at the site Sand & Sisal. Perfect for summer since it’s made with sea glass,. And if you don’t happen to have access to sea glass you can always make your own with broken glass and a rock tumbler or etching solution. I love what a rock tumbler does to it…in about 8-12 hours. Back to the tutorial. the writer’s name is Kim and I just love this tray. Thanks Kim. She used my team colors, lime and turquoise. So good. And perfect for summer.

Etsy Spotlight: Wayfarer Shoes PDF Sewing Pattern Review

 

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!” .
