Geometric Place Card Holders. I really love all of the geometric shapes that are popular right now, but I wanted a way to use them that isn’t totally over done.
Initially I thought of making geo planters, but somehow I settled on place card holders (I think it was sheer laziness, but don’t tell). I’m also still into the whole dipped trend too, I don’t know if that qualifies me as obsessive or not, but I combined the two anyways! Here’s how you can make your own with oven-bake clay and a little paint (or if you’re feeling lazy too, you can just buy mine)– Materials: Oven-bake clayClay knife/exacto knifeWax paperPaint color of choiceWet/dry sandpaper (optional) 1 | Form the clay into smooth equally sized balls for the number of holders you need. 2 | Use a smooth edged knife to randomly cut sections/facets from the ball of clay. 3 | Bake the geos according to your specific clay instructions.

I know, I know. This post isn't a typical DIY Friday because there's no tutorial attached- But I'm sharing this because I believe it's some really fabulous DIY inspiration. I came across this image on Apartment Therapy yesterday, and it really got my design-wheels turning. Think of all the possibilities! First of all, it would be ideal for a kid's bedroom- all those clothes that normally end up on the ground- now they have the perfect (easy) place to hang! And to make the deal even sweeter, this could totally be a weekend DIY project. Somebody, anybody, please go hop in your car and head to the hardware store. Read more from HOMESLICE here.

How to hang a pegboard - Hip Girl's Guide to Homemaking - Living thoughtfully in the modern world. Our new kitchen pretty much trumps all kitchens in my checkered past of rental kitchens.
I can teach baking and preserving classes right out of my home now since the living room sidles up, open-aired and glorious, to the miles of countertop I’ve been blessed with in our new East Austin abode. With all this space and openness comes the counterweight downside: nearly nil cabinet space. Last weekend I conjured my inner Julia and Paul and hung a pegboard along the backsplash wall in our kitchen. This project is moderately difficult done solo (like I did it, because I just couldn’t wait for my J to come home later that night), and requires more careful attention than technical skill. The only major tools you’ll need are a drill and and perhaps a screwdriver and pliers. Tips for Hanging a Pegboard in the Kitchen 1. 2. What to buy: 3/16” x 4’ x 4’ sheet of tempered hardboard, brown or white (I got a brown one and paid $8.27.)

Mason Jar Storage for the baño… 1 Supply 3 Projects: Wood Veneer - Part 3. We're wrapping up this 3-part series with a ridiculously easy veneer pendant!
Be sure to check out parts 1 and 2! Materials: 12" Threaded Metal Rod, 2 Washers, 2 End Caps, Hole Punch, String, 14 - 15" Veneer Strips You can find the metal rods and washers/end caps at the hardware store. These rods are about $1 a piece, so you can easily and cheaply make lots of these for a big impact. Directions: Punch a hole just large enough for the rods in each end of each veneer strip. On the end of the rod, place the washer, all the veneer strips, and the end cap.
Spread the strips out evenly around the rod. At the opposite end of the rod, place the other washer, the opposite end of each of the veneer strips, and the other end cap.
