http://www.astorybooklife.com/how-to/paper-beads/ I love finding ways to turn everyday common items, which would otherwise go into the garbage, into beautiful items that everyone can enjoy! So… when I came across a gal who was making beautiful beads from recycled newspaper, I had to share the idea with you! When I saw Helen’s beautiful beads, I asked her if she would mind sharing how she made them. After hearing from her, I realized that the methods used for these beads, were the exact same methods that I have used for several different projects including; costumes, handcrafted paper, and sculpted home decor items.

How to Make Your Own Easy Picture Frame Earring Holder

Place a cloth or towel on your work surface before flipping your frame over onto it to prevent any scratches on your new paint. I prefer staples as this lets the screen stay nice and tight, and is a lot easier. However, if the wood on your frame isn't thick enough, the staples will go through the wood on the other side.

DIY: Colored Pencil Jewelry - StumbleUpon

Note from Design Mom: I asked Kate of Mini Eco to create a Back to School themed project for us to try. I think making beads out of colored pencils is brilliant! Wouldn’t these beads be fun for your elementary school-ers to string for a class project? It would also be a fun activity at an art-themed birthday party. Here’s Kate: Lately I have become a little addicted to making (and wearing) colored pencil jewelry.

I took full advantage of winter break at my parents' house. They have a spacious garage chock full of every tool imaginable, and I was in heaven.

Decor 101: Make a DIY jewelry tree - New York How-To Home Design

Here is an easy way to display jewelry that can cost less than $1 to make. Jewelry trees can be purchased at retailers like Bed, Bath and Beyond and Urban Outfitters . Urban Outfitters has more than eight different kinds of jewelry trees, including the Little Birch Jewelry Stand shown below. They are handy and stylish but can run $20 to $40. The do-it-yourself version involves finding a real tree branch, painting it and displaying as is or putting it on a stand. The first example is from Connie at the blog A Sweet Concoction.
