Galaxy Print Tee
How To Create Your Own... GALAXY PRINT TEE.
What you need :
~ plain black t-shirt bleach in a spray bottle fabric paint or acrylic paint in white an old toothbrush an old paintbrush hairdryer small piece of sponge gloves (optional) plastic sheet to protect the carpet plastic bag for inside your shirt.
1. Lay out your t-shirt on a large bin bag or another plastic protective sheet. Place the plastic bag inside so any bleach does not seep through to the other side.
2. Start by spraying carefully but randomly with the bleach (you can also use baby sterilizing liquid like I did, almost the same thing.)
3. You will see rusty red/orange marks begin to appear as if by magic. Speed up this process with your hairdryer on a low setting.
4. Once you have achieved a nice pattern, you can twist the fabric in the middle of the shirt to create a galaxy or star cluster.
5. Spray the centre of the twist liberally with bleach until desired effect has been reached.
6. Keep spraying wherever you need to - don't over do it though, less is sometimes more.
*NEW TOP TIP
- When your bleached out top is completley dry (30-40mins) give it a rinse in luke warm water and let it dry out. This stops the bleach from working into the fabric any further and means it wont eat holes through your tshirt. When dry - continue with these steps....
7. Using white paint (fabric paint will not wash out) flick 'stars' on to the shirt using a stiff paintbrush or old toothbrush. Be careful but firm with your flicking action - larger gloops of paint just look like planets! 8. Add bigger white star clusters with your paintbrush or drip blobs of bleach on to the shirt to form a lovely constellation effect.
9. You can sponge on other colours of paint if you like, adding a bit of purple gives depth to your galaxy.
10. Leave to dry in a flat area overnight. Rinse with cold water the next day to get rid of the bleach smell.

Hand-Made Dreamcatcher
What You Need :
1. Decide what material to use for the hoop. The hoop is the basis for a dreamcatcher's shape and structure. It is usually no larger than an adult's hand. Hoops are traditionally made from dried red willow or grapevine, which is sold at many craft stores.
2. Buy suede lacing. The lacing is used to wrap the hoop. Choose buckskin or another leather. The width should be no greater than the width of a shoelace, and the length should be eight times the diameter of the hoop you will make. However, if suede lacing is unavailable, any other ribbon or string will do.
3. Choose a type of string. String is woven onto the hoop to create the dreamcatcher's web. It should be strong, but thin. Choose waxed nylon string or simulated sinew.
4. Choose decorative elements. The oldest dream catchers did not have decorative features, but in more recent years feathers and beads have been woven into the web to represent different elements of life.
Steps :
A. Shape the hoop. Place the willow or grapevine into a bowl of warm water. Allow it to soak for about half an hour, until it is supple and can bend without breaking. Shape the vine into a circle, making several loops so that your hoop will be strong. Use a twist tie to fasten the hoop in three places so that it keeps its shape, and let it completely dry.
B. Wrap the hoop. Paint some tacky glue along one tip of the suede thong. Press it against the hoop. Use one hand to hold the end in place as it dries, and use the other hand to start wrapping the thong around the hoop. Continue wrapping the hoop until the entire hoop is wrapped tightly in suede.
C. Make a hanging loop. Take the loose piece of the thong and shape it into a loop that juts out vertically from the top of the hoop. Keeping the loop in place, use the end of the thong to make a knot at the base of the loop. Pull it tight, then use a scissors to cut off the last dangling piece of thong.
D. Weave the first row. Begin by tying one end of the string in a knot at the base of the hanging loop. Working clockwise, stretch the string to a spot a few inches down the hoop and loop it around the hoop. Stretch the string a few inches to the right and loop it around the hoop again. Continue making loops that are evenly spaced apart until you reach the beginning.
E. Continue weaving the web. Take the end of the string and weave it under the loop created between the first and second looped peaks. Make a "hitch" by using the thread to make a loop over the loose string. After making the first hitch, make another hitch at the thread between the second and third knots. Continue weaving the thread in this manner until you have made a hitch at the thread between every knot.
F. Secure the web. When you have woven the web down to a tiny circle in the middle, tie the end of the thread over the place where you would have made the final hitch. Make a double knot to ensure it won't come undone. Pull it tightly and snip off the end.
G. Add a hanging feather. If you wish to add an ornamental feather or two, tie a new piece of string securely around the base of a feather. Tie the other end of the feather to the center of the dreamcatcher over one of the hitches in the center circle. Use a double knot to make sure it's secure. Snip off the dangle thread on either end.
H. Hang the dreamcatcher. Place the dreamcatcher near your bedroom window. With the first rays of sunlight, all bad thoughts that entered your mind during the night should disperse. Only good thoughts will be entering your mind for the day.
