0to255 is a project I’ve been working on that helps web designers find lighter and darker colors based off of any color.

I really hope it’s useful for you guys. I’d love to hear any feedback, praise, or problems you have. You can do so by clicking the Give feedback link on the site. Enjoy!

DIY Inspiration. Screen print/paint/embroider constellations on dark blue cushions. Use glow-in-the-dark paint. From the UFO Tree House in the Treehotel group in Sweden here. *TIP: For a list of constellations alphabetically and by month go here, then click on the link or google the name to find out how it looks.

*EDIT: If you decide to go with glow-in-the-dark paints there is a whole discussion about these paints on another post of mine - the Night Bike here. Go to www.glonation.com to see if this paint is right for you.

Miniature Knitted Gloves by Anthea Chrome here who created all of the tiny clothing used in the movie Coraline. I posted miniature knitting here, and there is a video of Anthea Chrome actually knitting on these itty bitty needles here or here. This is what she says about the needles:

“To achieve this in so small a scale, ridiculously thin knitting needles are required. I make my own knitting needles out of stainless steel wires that are so thin (.001”) that they can accommodate more that 80 stitches per inch. The gloves I make are 1/12th scale which means that 1 inch =1 foot in the “real” world. That means a finger the size of a grain of rice would be about the right size to fit inside a pair of my gloves.”

DIY Twill Tape Labels. Seen at Habit of Art here. I’ve been obsessed with these printed ribbons/tapes. So when I found this little tutorial I was happy. Why? Because I found out that:

Twill tape comes in a variety of widths and colors, is easy to adhere to fabric, and is very affordable.  (The .5 inch tape shown above just cost 25¢ a yard!)  

That’s $0.25 a YARD!!!!! Very Happy.

DIY Fabric Tape. Earlier I posted on how to make fabric tape. I just found this tutorial that may not have the pretty photograph, but may be a whole lot easier. Tutorial at Natalie Jost here. She writes:

SUPPLIES

1. Ribbon, fabric strips, punched circles or other shapes
2. Xyron sticker machine – 1.5″
3. Extra refill for when you have too much fun and run out of the first roll

Total Cost – about $8 for the sticker machine to get started, then about $0.25/ft depending on the type of ribbon or other scraps you use. My WalMart sells the machines and refills in the craft section.

I have never used the Xyron sticker machine, but by the comments people swear by it. Also, this fabric tape is so expensive that an initial outlay (40% off coupon at Michaels?) may make it worth it.
