New Cush Covers

Hi Everybody,

Today's post is about the recovering of my outdoor furniture cushions. In desperate need of a face lift my cushions are now in style. Pictured are the before and after. Clearly an improvement. Happy, happy week and all the mothers!

To the Beat of My Own Drum

Hi Everybody,

The bird houses from last week are both gone! I'm finishing a zipper bird house today and was able to complete the drum footstool, the focus of today's post. My grandson came into the house Sunday and asked "what's that?" I told him it is a drum footstool. He responded, "I don't like it." He spent most of the rest of the day sitting on it! Next week watch for a jeans remodel! Happy, happy week!

Redo

Hi Everybody,

In the early eighties when my family was young (so was I), we didn't have a lot of money for extras so most of the things I had, I made (perhaps one of the first Do-it-Yourselfers?). I continue to be a DIYer and most of my creations come from rescued materials. Big plans for today! Redo two bird houses from the east side of the store (pictured), drum footstool, zipper planter and stick birdhouse. How busy I am will determine how much I achieve. Check in next week for the results and don't forget to watch and share our latest video. Thanks and happy, happy week!

Prayer Beads

Hi Everybody,

A friend and former colleague asked me to convert her prayer wheel printed on an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper both sides, into a piece of jewelry she could wear. She often uses the wheel while walking so the paper thing did not work out all that well. Being a Catholic, I immediately thought of something similar to a rosary. And there you have it. It can be worn as a necklace or wrap bracelet. They may soon be available in the store so I will be sure to keep you posted as always. Happy, happy week!

Modified Men's Jacket

Hi Everybody,

Today's post features a jacket I girlied up for a customer and friend. I took in and shortened the sleeves, then added the ties and buttons. She was quite pleased as was I. Working on a few more custom projects in the next couple weeks and will post when ready. Happy, Happy Easter!!!

Crocheted Pillow

Hi Everybody,

It seems like I start with an idea or medium/fabric, etc. and just keep going with it! I still have a bunch of this tape left, so I am not done yet! (No worries, next week it will be something totally different) I love the texture of this pillow and the cool zipper in the back. I may just make another and keep it for myself! Stop in soon, always lots happening at Arnst Zipper Studio. 923 Michigan Ave. in Sheboygan. Happy, happy week!

Spring has Sprung

Hi Everybody!

It is officially spring and at Arnst Zipper Studio we are so ready! Brightly colored scarfs, soaps, purses, belts and so much more. The belts pictured are made from a kind of bias tape donated to us by our friends at Nemcshoff. Cool vintage buckles and one with embroidery. Stop in soon to see all the new arrivals and don't forget our events the second Saturday of every month. April 11th Stone Root will be featuring some off her latest creations. Hope to see lots of you then. For now, happy, happy week!
