Make your own 6-pocket mini pocketbook and stay organized — insatiable need. I’m sure that many of you, like me, are on an eternal quest for organization.

Therefore I also love pretty things in which to stash my stuff, so I get to enjoy my fantasy of being organized and contained. This tutorial is about helping you stay organized, in a quick, easy, and super-cute way.

Note: If you like this idea, be sure to check out how to make paper ruffles to add to your envelopes! Super quick and easy tutorial for you today. I have a drawer full of these and use them for everything - bills, letters, you name it...my mom does too, actually! I recently received an oversized catalog for baby strollers (why? I have more than one that I barely use). The pages were huge and mostly images - perfect for envelope making. I was able to make standard #10 envelopes as well as catalog envelopes - which is great because I'm always looking for a bigger envelope!

To start just pull pages out of your catalog or magazine with images you love. Other supplies you'll need: Pencil Glue - glue stick or craft glue - whichever you prefer Old envelope or envelope template. Trace the shape of your envelope onto the page, finding the position that you prefer on the image/page. Next, cut out along the lines. Fold and crease well where all corners meet. Happy re-purposing!

Homemade Shrinky Dinks from Recycled Plastic. Beware- if you read this you will start compulsively checking plastic containers to see if they can be made into homemade shrinky dinks! This is what happened to me when I first read about homemade shrinky dinks. The poster said to use number 6 plastic, and it turn out that’s a little bit hard to come by. The other day I found a cracker container with a number 6 on it. My first #6 find! I started experimenting- sometimes it’s worth it to spend a little time experimenting before getting the kids involved. Number 1 plastic shrinks a little, but not much and also sometimes just turns white and curls – it’s not a good material for DIY shrinky dinks.I read that foam is #6 plastic so I gave this a try with craft foam- sure enough, it shrinks like mad too. Here’s how we made homemade shrinky dinks: We cut out squares and heart shapes from the plastic container to decorate.
