Make Your Own Leather Book Cover

For a milestone anniversary, the twenty-fifth, fiftieth or seventy-fifth, plan a party. Invite all your relatives and your parent's old friends and neighbors. Ask each person to plan a short talk about a memory from their friendship with the couple. You and each of your siblings should have your own special words of love for your parents. Have a videographer tape a commemorative DVD of the event.

This last one I made took the most time, measures 5" across. It's my favorite although my daughter might not even EVER wear it. I used my same scrap of faux leathery material. I cut a large circle and 5 large petals, 5 medium petals, and 5 small petals. Then it was time to hot glue. I started with the big circle and hot glued petals one at a time onto to the circular piece and ended with another circle on top. click here used "Amazing Quick HOLD Contact Adhesive" to glue all the beads shown in the photo.

With siblings pooling their resources, you can afford to send your parents on a romantic second honeymoon. Think weekend getaway for a few hundred dollars at a local hotel; or for something really special, arrange a cruise. You will have to pay the airfare to the cruise location, but the per-person cruise rate may not be too much more expensive than the local hotel stay.

Two fabrics were used to make this three-layered flower: 1. The bottom piece is some kind of leather book scrap I had--it was nice and sturdy so I knew it would support the flimsy material I planned to use next. 2. The top two layers I cut from some shimmery silver fabric. I liked the "wrong" side better. It looks black with silver that showed through to the other side just enough. I purposely chose these 2 materials not only because of the color but also because both fabrics don't fray so they needed no sewing around the edges. I cut the top flowera little smaller than the previous two.

The problem isn't that we are unhappy by the number, so much as we are disappointed time after time. If you are dieting, then you want to see a lower number, but what happens when you do? Do you reward yourself for a job well done? Do you decide you've done so well, you might as well have a treat?

U.S. Wings has an Indy-style Vintage Adventurer Jacket that would make a truly awesome gift. The Indiana Jones fan would feel at the top of their world and ready for an adventure in their soft leather jacket that is similar to the one Indiana Jones wears. You can buy this for $469 dollars.

I found this scrap of red trim (shown in photo) and I saw that I had enough to make a 5 petaled flower. I had to hand sew it very carefully to make the red arches look like flower pedals. Then, I used a hot glue gun to add the center clear bead, and followed by gluing some shiny red beads in a star pattern (covering up my kind of messy, hand-sewn seams). I then hot glued a strip of red ribbon to the headband and glued on the flower. This wound up being one of Hannah's favorites.
