DIY Project Accessories, Gumball Machine Fish Bowl. This Gumball Machine Fish Bowl is sure to get some compliments in your home!
It’s a fun and quirky addition to a living room or child’s room, and it’s very easy to make. The biggest challenge with the project is finding a great gumball machine at a reasonable price. I found this gumball machine on Ebay, but I’ve also seen similar ones at garage sales and flea markets. Brand new gumball machines can also be found online, but they tend to cost quite a bit more. I do recommend that you use a metal and glass gumball machine, rather than plastic. Project Cost: Approx. $45 (including the fish!) Materials: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Tools & Supplies: 1. 3. 4. 5.

Pottery Barn Knock-Off Tutorial – Ribbon and Bird Chandelier. It seems I’ve teased you long enough about the flock of 250 birds on my coffee table.
I’ve received a number of emails this week asking what I did with all of those little birds. If you guessed that I put together a Pottery Barn knock-off with those little guys, using a glue gun, then you would be correct! DIY Ribbon and Bird Chandelier For some time, I have been inspired by this Paper Flower Chandelier from Pottery Barn. I really love how the ribbon forms a clean chandelier shape.
However, once I decided on a color scheme for my baby’s nursery, I knew that this particular chandelier wouldn’t work in the room.

Lucky Ducky Duct Tape Flower Pens. Hello sisters, Lulu here!
I have a new BFF and it's name is duct tape. I am a seventh grader and duct tape can be seen around my school. It comes in tons of colors and people use it to cover their binders, make wallets and create bracelets. One of my friends used it to make little bows that she attached to bobby pins to wear in her hair. I had this week off from school and thought I would give duct tape crafting a try.
Step One: Measuring the tape Each petal is a 2 inch piece of duct tape. Step Two: To make the petals Take one 2 inch strip, sticky side up and fold down one corner so that you are left with an "L" of sticky. Step Three: Forming the flower Take a small piece of duct tape and cover the bottom of the pen to create the center of the flower (not shown in picture). Once you have finished wrapping your petals....... voila!!
Step Four: Adding the stemMeasure a strip of green tape the size needed to cover the pen from the cap to the base of the flower. Linking To! Splashup. Puffy Paint Pumpkins. Nothing says Halloween like cool pumpkin decorations!
This is a quick and cheap holiday DIY that's great for a party, or to simply get your family into the spirit.
