How To: Make a Bulletin Board from Wine Corks | Apartment Therapy Re-Nest

Unique frames, vino, and visual organization are a few of my passions, so spotting a bulletin board combining all three got my wheels spinning. Frat-tastic? It has the potential to be, but in the right frame — something unusual but not too loud or ornate — and in the right setting — a wall without much visual clutter —it could be a witty way of organizing the lists of "to do's" or "to try's" (wines) that inevitably end up cluttering the fridge.

Filth Wizardry: Mini roses from dollar store crepe paper streamers

Gonna show you how to make these, because there's still enough time before Valentine's day, and also Heather from Dollar Store Crafts is having a link party and all you need to make these is crepe paper streamers that the Dollar Store sells in packs of two. No glue, no tape, none of that nonsense, just crepe paper and opposable thumbs. When I was about ten years old, we had our village's first summer festival, where one girl from the local primary school got to be the carnival queen.

Every time I have the opportunity to throw a party of any kind, I cheerfully and confidently sift through Pinterest, saving scores of gorgeous images of professionally planned parties, thinking: "I can do that!! It'll be perfect!" Don't get me wrong, the shower could have been much worse.

As a family, we kind of obsessively like our rice pillows and firmly believe it's one of those small things that greatly improve our quality of life. The giving of something like this is a large gesture on our part, a bit of a warm hug really.

Wink Designs: No-sew fabric covered boxes tutorial

I also decided to make one for myself for sewing pattern storage using the Alexander Henry "Perfect Pattern" print (I love this fabric - such a simple yet genius design!). I'd seen the fabric in various online shops but it sells out quickly so I was really happy to find that Tessuti now has some both in-store and online. I added some "dividers" in coordinating prints with ribbon tabs to separate the patterns within the box.

The Green hat ( green like the caps on the new bottle ) is made out of everyday materials – sweatpants, zipper from a hoodie and buttons!
