I am so in love with making these little basket bowls. They're so easy to make and barely cost a thing. They're so pretty, you'd never know at first glance they were made of hot glue!

This might look intimidating, but is very easy, using up your stash of scrap yarn. You only need to know how to chain stitch and single crochet.

So pretty and easy to make and you can use recycled fabric from pre-loved garments to make these delightful cake toppers. Older children can join in making these for a tea party. You can cut out the fabric and they can get busy glueing them onto the sticks.

Crossover Purse Strap
Crossover Purse StrapI don't like the narrow crossover straps that come with purses. With a belt and a few minutes, you can make a very nice, comfortable alternative.

DIY Plastic Bag Dispenser
DIY Plastic Bag DispenserI love reusing my plastic bags, but I got tired of folding them up into neat little triangles to keep from having a messy plastic bag storage area. Upcycle your old wipes container into a plastic bag dispenser. The bags will pop out beautifully the way the wipes did, just like a fresh box of tissues.

peek through door into closet nook conversion
Converting a Closet into a Private NookI promised myself I would write more this year and so far, only one thing has made it to paper. I have a small apartment cluttered with craft supplies and distractions. So, I created this space. I call it my reading, writing, thinking, and hiding room.

Dried Banana Leaves and Flower Wreath
Dried Banana Leaves and Flower WreathIn Tahiti I make dried banana leaf, herb, and flower wreaths as decorations for my home. I love the smell of the dried herbs. After the flowers dry the wreath takes on a whole new look. What is wonderful about making these wreaths is the fact you can use any flowers, herbs, and leaves to decorate the wreath.

wrapped hot chocolate spoon
Hot Chocolate SpoonsThis a brilliant idea for a simple but indulgent gift for a very special person. You don't need to be a good cook or artistic to be able to make these tasty treats. Use plastic disposable spoons if you like, but what is really nice is if you can find some fancy vintage spoons in a second hand store.

Designing A Tee Shirt With Iron On Transfer
Designing A Tee Shirt With Iron On TransferI wanted my own personal tee shirt without the cost of company mark up. At Michael's they have tee shirts on sale often, for $2.99 each. They also carry iron on transfers for the tee shirts, (3 sheets per pack). You can make at least 3 tees with 1 package. So I wanted to try my hand at this new craft.

gift box filled with lollipops
Merry Children Teacher Appreciation Gift BoxIt is almost time to thank your child's teacher for the wonderful job she did. This sweet teacher appreciation gift will tell her just how special she is. Fill the box with candy, and once she has enjoyed the candy, she can use it to store her pens and pencils when the new school year starts.

pink sign
How To Take A Sign And Make It Look VintageThis project is very versatile. It can be done on almost anything wood, ceramic, plastic, and metal. For this project I choose metal cut outs purchased at a craft store.

Garden Sphere Out Of Hanging Baskets
Garden Sphere Out Of Hanging BasketsI have a few of hanging baskets in storage that I wanted to transform into a garden sphere. Because they are a little pricey, I thought I could recreate them with 2 planter hanging baskets joined together. This is super easy and adds a subtle look to your garden.

white fabric bow with black polka dots
Cute BowThis bow is not that hard to make and it is a cute hair accessory that you can match with anything as long as you have the right colors. It would be perfect for kids' outfits after being attached to a clip.

Rosemary Serviette (Napkin) Rings
Rosemary Serviette (Napkin) RingsFor a lovely place setting which will also give off a wonderful herbal aroma to get your guests' taste buds going, use a wrap of rosemary around the serviettes (napkins) instead of a traditional napkin ring.
