DIY Cord or Ear Bud Holder

Very easy and handy project. Keep those cords organized with leather scraps!

Wine Cork Place Cards

Pretty wine cork place cards!

One Seam T-Shirt Bag

Super simple project. You'll only have to sew one seam! Pick a shirt that looks great upside-down. You'll need one t-shirt for the bag and some cord or t-shirt yarn for the closure.

When you're making the 4 tiny snips, cut through only one layer of fabric, not both layers. Pull the t-shirt yarn or cord through the first hole, through the inside the bottom of the shirt, back out and in the opposite hole, thread through the other side and knot the end!

Egg-cellent Storage!

The container for Cage Free eggs folds in two spots instead of one. Makes a handy-dandy organizer for small items. Like buttons!

Upcycled T-shirt Yarn for Loom Knitting!

This post will give tips on how to cut the yarn in order to use it on a loom. For directions on loom knitting a dishcloth, go to this youtube video!

I do a little bit of volunteering for a non-profit that collect clothes and distributes them to people in need. We end up with a TON of t-shirts. Many of the shirts have small stains or contain screen-printing that only have significance to their original wearers. I thought this would be a great way to upcycle the shirts into useful items!

Use a Board Game as a Photo Backdrop!

Do you own an etsy store? Sell items on a Facebook garage sale site? Make your small items stand out by making a simple photo backdrop! All you need is a square board game.

Upcycled T-Shirt Tote

Turn a T-Shirt into a tote bag! This is a great project for sewers who've never worked with knit fabric.

Introducing the Hat & Belt Basket! Use it as an Easter basket or table centerpiece. It would also make a perfect flower girl basket for a country or rustic-themed wedding!

Junk Bonanza 2014!

Junk Bonanza was so much fun! Can't wait until Spring Bonanza!

Book Balls!

Paper hydrangeas made from old books! Pretty home decor items, Christmas ornaments or table centerpieces.

DIY Copper Medallion

Another way to use up those old copper molds! Turn them into fun home decor pieces :-).

Stamped Envelope Bookmark

I've been receiving so many lovely cards with very pretty stamps and envelopes. Would be a shame to waste them! Let's make some bookmarks :-).

You will need:

• stamped envelopes
• letter opener or knife
• scissors or paper cutter
• book

Folded Book Decor

Have any books lying round? Turn them into folded book decor! Use as centerpieces or shelf decoration.

This particular book is definitely not one of my faves. At least it can be used for crafts!

You will need:

• Book that is better off becoming a craft instead of staying a work of (in my opinion, not-so-great) literature
• Hands
• Time

Record Fans!

Looking for a record re-purpose project? Instead of being a fan of music, turn your music into a fan!

 Turn soda cans into cups or vases!
