Hanging Baskets ~ Be Different...Act Normal. Make a Mod Mobile. Home » $1 and Free, Decor, Headline, High Concept, Tutorials 14 June 2010 40,091 views 8 Comments by heather This mobile is a great way to bring some mid-century modern into your home for less than a buck. Yep! I said a buck. In fact, if you work from materials in your stash, or your recycling bin, your only expense will be the two pennies you use to weigh the mobiles down. I love this print by artist Jenn Ski. Paper products at Michael's. A few weeks ago I got a Cricut Expression (if you aren't familiar with Cricuts, they look like a printer, but they cut lines instead of printing them) from another crafter, and I found out about a software called Sure Cuts-a-Lot, which allows you to cut any shape you want using the Cricut.

I have been on a cut-out-paper project kick for a few months anyway, and the Cricut reduces production time (read: tracing and cutting) from hours to minutes. But don't worry if you don't have a Cricut. But first, the Project Materials: Total: $.02 and up Pages: 1 2 3. The Little Apartment. How to Make a Girl’s Emergency Clutch.

Valentines Gifts

Clothespin Planter | Family Chic. TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 2011 | Comments: 42 Children love crafts that are simple, turn out well and can serve as a suitable gift for Mom – this craft is all of that. To make this you will need: a tuna fish can (I used a 5 ounce size), clothespins, construction paper and a small plant or flower arrangement. Clip clothespins all the way around the rim of the can. Place your plant inside – I used wheat grass that I grew myself in a wax paper cup. Cut hearts from construction paper and tuck in between clothespins. These would also be great as a simple Spring centerpiece. You can also drop a glass votive and tea light inside and use these as an interesting candle holder too.

Make a Perpetual Button Calendar for 2011 (and Beyond) By Diane Gilleland I know calendars (and clocks and address books) are quickly becoming computer-centric tools, but I like the old-school charm of this desk calendar.

This diy project is inspired by one of my favorite ceramic artists, sarah cihat. i found most of my plates and candlesticks at goodwill. i also used some of those little vases you get when someone gives you flowers, which normally i think are ugly, but here they seem to have found a purpose! I left many of the cakestands bare because i love the original plate designs. if you aren’t happy with the plate or base you can always paint them, or give them a graphic silhouette design (instructions below) like sarah’s rehabilitated dishware. so, if you’re ready to create your own diy cakestands (which operate well as cupcake-stands, too!)
