They could be made of any thing, large or small.  Beads, Chenille Stems, T-Shirt yarn, Paper or Rick Rack.  They can hang or stand.  The Cone Calculator would be useful here.

DIY Smooth Styrofoam Printing Plate

The Basics:  Transfer design to styrofoam plate, score the the design to make a little trough, paint  scored lines with solvent.  The solvent is acetone.  Water based inks and paints only.

I don't really care for using solvent for this type of line work. This article on Makezine is better.

DIY Plant Pot #1

To share my plant starts with friends or for the Friends of the Library sale.   Plants really raise money here, especially tomatoes.  At our elevation in Oregon, Mother's Day is the start of outdoor planting.

Free Autotracer Online

You can use this Autotracer to convert raster images into vector graphics. This process is called tracing or vectorization.  Tracing can be done by hand or you can use a tool which does this cumbersome job automatically. But usually some post-processing is necessary.  Most auto-tracing tools cost a lot of money, if you do not need them regularly this tool is an option.

DIY Color Hair Tattoo or Embroidery Transfer

Coat parchment paper or the dull dull side of freezer paper with hair gel, let dry and add design with Crayola washable markers or paint.  Apply design to dry hair with a flatiron.  Set design with hairspray. The patent is about a flatiron fitted with shaped crimpers. Any flatiron would work.

substrate may be made from fabric, parchment paper, other heat-resistant paper, etc.
A transfer substrate was prepared from commercially available bakeware liners (TEFLON®). These substrate bakeware liners comprise a fiberglass substrate bonded to exterior layers of polytetrafluoroethylene. The TEFLON® substrate was cut into rectangular shapes which were 4.5"×2.0".

I Have not tried it as an embroidery transfer but think it has a high probability of working well.
