Men's Tie Centerpieces?
Hmm. Interesting idea! It depends on if you want the ties to survive and be usable afterward. Or do you plan on purchasing some cheapie ties that can be cut if necessary? Let me know and then I can tell you what Im thinking. Ladymadonna
Men's Tie Centerpieces?
I was thinking you could make simple accents as florists do with ribbon. Youll need wired floral picks to do this. At the skinny end of the tie, make one loop, say about 4 tall, scrunch the bottom and hold in place with your left fingers. Then bring the end...

I went to a local craft store for that same reason, hoping theyd have some gold touch-up paint for jewelry. They didnt. But I went down another aisle and found liquid leaf paint which is a liquid version of gold leaf used in crafts. It works great and without...

Have you thought about putting the waterproof covers on the pillows and mattress? The kind of covers they sell for relief from allergens, such as dust mites. The problem is the covers are very expensive. But you can launder them and your pillows will always...
