Crazy Caterpillar Craft (From Tube Socks or Tights)
By Teri Clark
Do you like bugs and creepy crawlies? Even if the answer is no, you are sure to love this particular caterpillar! Caterpillars are very cute, especially if they are made with tube socks or tights!
Materials:
Tools:
Steps:
1. If you use tights, cut off the stocking at the knee and fill with fiberfill. If you use a tube sock, simply fill the sock with fiberfill.
2. Tie a knot in the end.
3. Make the rings of the caterpillar by tying it with yarn, Make a very small one on the toe end of the sock/tights for the nose.
4. Cut out the eyes for the caterpillar from pieces of black and white felt. You may also want to cut out dots for your caterpillar.
5. Glue the eyes on the face. If you made spots, glue them on, too.
6. Cut your pipe cleaner in half and form it into a U shape
7. Using the hot glue gun, glue the pipe cleaner on the caterpillar's head to be his antennae.
The only thing left to do is to name your new creepy crawly friend!
Additional Ideas: You can use the entire leg of a pair of tights to make an even longer caterpillar! You can also use contrasting yarn to make your caterpillar more colorful.

Using soda pop tabs for crafting is fun & easy.
You will need:
Directions:
You will first coat the soda tab with the embossing ink (I do the fronts only.) Second, using the tweezers, dip the soda tab into the embossing color of choice. Third, hold the soda tab with tweezers and heat the tab with the heating embossing tool until powder is melted.
Be VERY CAREFUL...it WILL be HOT! You will need to repeat these steps 2 or 3 times for a good coating.
These can be used as "buckles" for any craft project.
Have Fun!

OK. Milkdud problem. Accidently sat down on milkdud and got in on my denim jeans. Not too worried about that. The washing machine should do the trick. The problem is, the milkduds are all over my computer chair (can't throw THAT into the washing machine).
All of the excess has been removed. Any ideas on how to get this off? As to the material, it look like just plain cloth. The color is black so bleach won't be an option. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Denise
