We are part of the Maker Movement. We are creators. We cut, we scrap, mold, we paint, and we build. Anything we set our eyes upon becomes an opportunity to create. MAKE is a DIY book that is full of innovative projects that are brought upon by the Maker Movement designers. The projects introduced in the book can be easily made by following the simple tutorials. In addition to the tutorials, there are individually designed postcards for each tutorial that you can tear out to keep or use. We put this book together in hopes that you look at this book and get inspired to create. Get making!

how to wheatpaste
Step One
Pour one cup of water into a saucepan and bring to a boil over heat. Put 3 tablespoons of flour into a bowl, add 10 teaspoons of water until it forms a runny mix.
Step two
Once the water has boiled, add the runny mix to the boiling water. Stir well. Keep stirring. The mixture will foam up while it boils, so the constant stirring is essential to keep it from bubbling over. Keep the mix boiling for 2 minutes.
Step three
Take the boiled mix off the heat. Add 4 tablespoons or more of sugar. and let sit and cool. Let it cool. Pour into an appropriate container for carrying with you. It will keep well for about a week.
Step four
Go out and wheatpaste all around town, flip the page for wheat pasting materials.

Materials You Need -
20 gauge wire string beads scissors magazine or feathers optional: leather string or colored yarn
Step 1 Cut 22 inches of wire. Fold the wire in half and twist until you reach the end. Leave 1 cm of wire and join/ twist the ends together. Optional: wrap the circle base with yarn or leather.
Step 2 Cut about 2 ft. of string ( but the length of the string will fluxuate depending on the size of the dreamcatcher ). Start by tying a loop at the end of the string and then tying it to the circle.
17 2 Step 3 After you have tied the string to the circle, loop the string over the base and pull it through the opening ( as pictured ).
Step 4 Evenly continue the same motion from Step 3 until you come full circle back to where you started. This time, loop the string onto the first row.
Step 5 Keep repeating the pattern until you reach a point where you cannot contiune or when you wish to stop. You can also add beads along the way.
Step 6 The last step is to attach 3 strings with ( paper ) feathers on each end. You may cut out feather shapes from magazines or attach actual feathers on the strings.

Why take a self portrait? It’s fun. It’s only you and the camera, you can be as quirky and as wild as you want to with your ideas and nobody will judge you. Maybe you need a new picture for your social media page, or a headshot for your next audition, perhaps you just want document how you’re feeling today, maybe you feel like playing with face paint, reflecting on who you are, or maybe you just really want to borrow your friend’s camera and need an excuse to use it. Why hand off the camera to someone else, when you can have more fun doing it yourself?
