Easy Owl (From Recycled Sweaters) Delicious Chocolate Honey Lip Balm (updated with link to pop art packaging) Beeswax The first time I made this I used an old candle, but for this batch I bought 2 oz from the farmer's market for $1.75 -- definitely get the fresh wax if you can, the difference in flavor is stunning!

(It would be easier to get 4 sheets of A4, of course!) I had way more chopsticks than I can ever use, including 20-odd cheap square bamboo ones, and they seemed like an easy way to make the frames (in my local Asian supermarket you can get a pack of 20 of these for under 2 euros). I sanded off the pattern that was stamped on, and cut down 8 of them to the width of each sheet of paper. (Ideally I would have split them in half lengthwise but couldn't think how to do this easily) Then I applied a very thin layer of wood glue along one side of the chopsticks and stuck them to the paper, lining up the outside edge of the chopstick with the outside edge of the paper.
Glue along the sides of each the front and back panels, on the back of the paper, and fit the 4 panels together to make a cube - well, one without a top or bottom (see diagram for how I fit them together). 36 Blank Walls Solutions for Your Home.

I was in high school and I'd been thinking about going thrifting all day because I'd been reading all of these vintage fashion books from the library and I wanted to find a real vintage dress... for cheap. ;) When my sixteen-year-old self walked into that Goodwill for the first time, I was struck (and a bit put off) by the smell, the disorganization, and the sheer size of the place.

WRONG. I learned most, if not all, of my best thrifting tips when I was in college in Greencastle, Indiana. Wall Art Projects. Lucky Wishing Stars Tutorial.
