Not a great photo but you can see how it all goes together. If you are one of the people who sent me a postcard, thanks.
The plant flew from its original resting place and I had to cut/propagate a bunch of vines. I'm expecting mixed success on rehabilitation. Looks about right.
Customised Barbie dollstand on top of my laptop keyboard, the photo enlargened to full screen and daylight to the left. Photographed at an upwards angle. Really tightly cropped on the left side in the end.
1. Take an empty water bottle. Determine how high you want your vase to be. Use a permanent market to draw a line around the top of the bottle.

Create your own bookmark -
Take an envelope and turn it so the flap is up-side-down facing you.
Cut the right or left bottom corner off.. or both for 2 bookmarks. Cut the size of your choosing.
Decorate, draw, paint, write. Do your thing.
The page(s) of the book fit into the open pocket :)
Step 1 - Procure supplies:
Aluminum foil
X-acto knife
Hair tie
Lens adapter ring (this one was for a telescope mount)
Surprise! They are not the same inside. The 'how-to' photos are of a French button, but the instructions work for both French and English buttons.
Skill: knot the end of a thread
I tend to use two tailor's/pretzel knots stacked right on top of each other, but you can also do a Quilter's knot. Whichever you think students will grasp a hold onto easier.
Skill: thread a needle
I usually just shove the thread through the needle-eye by hand, with a bit of saliva and hand-eye coordination. But for those lacking that technique, using a needle threader may be a good approach. Just shove the threader's wires through the needle-eye, put the thread through the wires, then pull the threader away from the needle. The thread should go with it and your needle should be threaded.
Skill: Overcast stitch for securing components
The overcast stitch is handy for sewing Lilypad components to a piece of fabric. This is a good photo tutorial: www.craftsy.com/blog/2014/11/overcast-stitch-by-hand/. I like to push my needle up through the fabric, just outside of the component's connecting point/hole, and then push my needle down through the metal hole. Then push the needle back up through the fabric, just outside of the component's connecting point/hole.
Tip: Always secure connection points with 4-5 stitches.
When using connecting two electronic components with conductive thread, it's smart to use several stitches around the connecting point to ensure lots of contact between the metals.
Skill: Running stitch for connecting several components
A running or straight stitch can be used to connect the connecting points of several electronic components. It's the basic process where the thread comes up through fabric, then down, then up, down, etc. ApartmentTherapy has a tutorial on this stitch and others, here: www.apartmenttherapy.com/how-to-sew-basic-stitches-221433. I sometimes like to make smaller stitched on one side of the fabric, so they aren't quite as visible. If I don't care about looks, I'll often pick up several stitches at once to save the time of individually creating each stitch.
Tip: Ends of Thread Must Be Secured
I usually secure the end of threads by pulling the needle through several previous stitches, or sometimes backstitching. This is necessary to prevent all your work from unraveling! this tutorial describes some options.
Tip: Always trim loose thread ends
Keep your thread ends short. You don't want an electrically conductive thread to touch other electrically conductive thread (when a battery is involved), as it will do weird things to your circuit and/or short the circuit and make it not work.
Tip: Do not sew threads so that they cross.
Crossing threads when sewing may short the circuit. Also, do not sew too loosely, as dangling threads may also cross other threads (similar to long thread ends). Make sure that when your project is being worn, different lines of threads don't touch each other, either. If you're afraid of threads touching/crossing during wear, it's possible to insulate the threads with hot glue, or by stitching fabric over top of the conductive threads (using non-conductive thread).
Tip: Don’t sew positives to negatives and vice versa. Notice which is which!
The circuit only works if negatives are connected to negative sources, and the same for positives. This sort of forces the circuitous nature of the circuit ;)
I built IanH's Bidoit shops. This model is made up of two buildings that can be glued together. I glued them together with rubber cement and then placed a weight to hold them together while the glue set. In this case a bowl with the paper cement bottle on it worked very well.
I sewed these 4", 2", and 3" kanzashi flowers to a hair clip, and now I can use it to decorate a blouse or as a hair accessory.
My rendition of this awesome camera stabilizer invented by Johnny Cheung Lee. It actually does keep your movie footage stable. You can walk, go up and down stairs, and everything else while keeping your footage rock solid.

Don’t forget to consider the amount of toothpaste you get with your purchase.
Some charcoal toothpaste can be purchased in bulk and for very cheap.
These products are great for students or for young men who are just starting to build a bathroom product collection.
These are the pieces you are going to need.
The measurements are half the garment, so make sure you get them right.
First, measure from under your bust to your waist. Add a few inches for seam allowances and a hem. This is where my 10" came from.
Next, measure around the largest part of your stomach. Divide that number by two and add an inch or so. This will be the measure for Piece C. Mine was 16"
Then, decide where you want your button "strip" to go. I put mine at about 11" leaving 5" for the opposite side. add 1-2" for your casings and about 1 1/2" for seam allowances. This gave me my 8 1/2" and my 14 1/2".
The skirt and the straps are simple, go ahead and make them what you wish.
Below are my measurements.
Piece A=14 1/2" x 10"
Piece B=8 1/2" x 10"
Piece C=16" x 10"
Skirt=12" x 64". (For width, I used my waist measurement x2. This can differ for the amount you want it to be gathered.)
Straps=26" x 3"
1. Draw design, 2. Cut pieces, 3. Cover them with contact paper, 4. Punch holes, 5. Tape one end of thread, and on other make knot or tie bigger bead, 6. Play!

These are the two knives I carry while diving. The left is my primary, which I strap to my inner right calf. The other knife I have hooked on a retrieval cord on my BCD. I make sure to wash and rinse my knives after every dive. Unfortunately, my primary knife seems to get some water stuck in the plastic, which means after drying there are often salty rust deposits around where the metal contacts the plastic.
