I was able to transform a sunglasses box that I was just about to toss out into this 3D initial greenery/floral box. This makes a nice decor piece and works great (easier) if your initial is a T or L. For other letters, you can freehand and make your own 3D initial with cardboard.

I want to share with you a method I have invented for making shank buttons out of concrete. This is a very easy and cheap method. As a result, you will get very original shank buttons.

The finished noodleboard covering a sink.
DIY NoodleboardI ran across an item called a "noodle board" one day online when I was looking for an idea to cover my kitchen sink to provide temporary counter space. You know those times- everyone is coming to your house for a get together, but space is at a premium to set up a buffet.

A decorated bubble mailer with designs from the sea.
Custom Bubble MailerHere is a fun way to turn inexpensive bubble mailers into custom designs. This one was created using stencils. I recommend brush tip markers so the stencils don't move. Your artistic touch will make your mail more personalized and colorful. The receiver will be happy to receive their mail. Relaxing craft for kids and adults ! :)

A decorative bottle filled with sand and shells.
Beach In A BottleI use these in my beach themed bathroom. You can use any bottles as long as the opening is big enough for the shell to go through. Craft stores have sand in different shades, shells in different shapes/sizes and pebbles. You can get some from the beach but you should wash them so the bottle doesn't get cloudy, grow mold or bacteria.

Seed Pack Gifts - ready to gift
Seed Pack GiftsYou can save back seeds from organic produce. I get a subscription box and with it, sometimes heirloom varieties that I want to experiment with or share with friends who garden. To save seeds, you basically soak them for a minute to rinse off the goop and leave them out to dry on a paper towel for a day or so before storage. This project teaches you how to make cute, simple seed packs for gifting.

A stick shift knob that resembles a skull.
Making Your Shift Knob FitI recently bought a used Toyota Tacoma. I wanted to use this small skeleton head for the shifter, but it didn't fit. Hmm I will just have to make it fit because local stores do not sell the inserts of the shift knobs.

The finished packaged Valentine's box.
Packaging Valentine's Day GiftsDon't toss out any sturdy boxes because chances are they could be up-cycled like this into packaging for Valentine's Day.

A painted bottle with embellishments.

The finished picture with hooks on the bottom.
Key Rack/Mask HangerI purchased a picture frame to make a clock. Inside the picture frame was a picture that I decided to use for this craft project to make a key rack because I didn't want anything useful to go to waste. So for the cost of the picture frame ($2.75), I was able to make two craft projects.

A hat on top of the DIY Hat Rack.
Easy To Make Hat RackI needed a hat rack, so used one of my brass candlesticks, some foam scraps, a very small round tablecloth, and some elastic string, and had a quick and easy to make hat rack in no time at all.

A decorative clock in a frame.
Shabby Chic Picture Frame ClockThe cost of this project was only $2.75 (for a used picture frame) because I used up craft supplies I already had on hand.
