DIY natural orange cleaner recipe. Cleaning with vinegar isn’t really a new idea – nor is this DIY orange cleaner recipe. But, I’ve been intrigued by it for a while and thought I’d give it a try. It works really well, is super easy to make and you really can’t get much cheaper than plain vinegar along with some orange peels (which would normally go in the trash around here.) Start by filling a jar with orange peels. You can also use lemon or lime or even grapefruit – any citrus peels work. Next, fill it with vinegar to the top. Set it aside for at least two weeks, I put the date on mine to show when it was ready (because I’m a highly forgetful person.) After two weeks, drain the peels and pour the now orange infused vinegar into a spray bottle. But, I’ve gotta admit: It works really well for surfaces, etc – but the vinegar smell will still be rather strong when you’re using it.

Recycle | Woven Rag Rug. Thank you for all the great feedback for liking my Braided Rag Rug. I understand that not everyone has a sewing machine or/and able to sew, so I created this no-sew version for the non-sewer who like to recycle their bed sheets or de-stash their fabrics to make this feet cozy Woven Rag Rug. This tutorial doesn’t require any loom for weaving; just use a sturdy corrugated carton box from your recycle pile. I hope everyone can do their part on greening the Earth again and reduce the rubbish that loaded the landfill. By the way, I gave the braided rag rug to my mum and she loves it so much, she is going to dig more old bed sheets out from her storage, which means I will have another bunch of supply to recycle.

Not until I stumbled upon an idea while visiting my local bead store. I saw a necklace there that looked interesting. It looked like a floating bead necklace, except I could tell it was not clear beading wire that was used, but something else, that really defined the round shape of the necklace.
After closer examination, I discovered that it was Memory Wire, covered with clear tubing. I did not really care for the clear tubing, but as I was browsing, I noticed they carried colored jewelry tubes. That's all I needed and an idea was born. Simple memory wire bracelets. Here is the supplies and tool you need other than beads. Heavy duty wire cutter (yes, Memory Wire is tough to cut and you will damage your wire cutter), pick either a chain nose pliers or round nose pliers. First I cut a full circle from the Memory Wire. Then I added beads and cut the tubing. Put tubing on the exposed wire... then using pliers, I made a loop on one end and linked up to.
Leather Cord Macrame Bracelet. Resurrection fern: how to make a vintage hankie bunny. All you will need for this so simple it should be illegal tutorial is a hankie, or a similar square of fabric and a little bit of stuffing (optional). Thats right, no scissors, needles, thread or anything else except your own two hands. To get started lay your hankie flat on a smooth surface. This first version is unstuffed. Next fold your hankie in half along the diagonal. Starting with the tip of the triangle start rolling the fabric ( not too tight) towards the fold.
Now bend your little roll in half. Pick a spot about half way again and tie a knot ( again not too tight). Arrange the darling little ears in a pleasant manner. Wasn't that easy. If you desire your bunny a little plumper it is easy to do with a small amount of any stuffing material. Place your hankie on the surface. Now fold the hankie along the diagonal as before. Start rolling the fabric at the tip of the triangle as previously. Proceed exactly as in the unstuffed version. I bet you can't stop at making one.
