Crack Kills. Maybe it's just me and my body shape, but a lot of my jeans have that giant gaping spot in the back. It's like a canyon between my bum and the back of the pants. This is what I'm talking about. On some pants it's worse than others. I tucked a shirt in so you wouldn't have to see more of me than you want to :) I'm pretty sure it's not just me because I've caught some crack with quite a few teenage girls. I took some 1/2 inch elastic and I cut a strip to be about 6 inches long. I started at the middle and sewed to the end using a zigzag stitch. Now I don't have to bulk up with a belt.

Ever since I made my glitter clutch, I've been looking around at everything that we have around the house that I can glitter.
I told you I had a lot of glitter projects to share, I finally gathered them together to photograph! First up are these little tea light holders that were totally boring on their own... I put together a mixture of Mod Podge and glitter (same as the glitter clutch) but this time I dumped the mixture in the candleholder, swirled it around until it covered every area and then let it dry upside down for a day. Now, they are adorable and I keep one in the bathroom to hold my bobby pins which has made my life so much easier when doing my hair! Obviously the other thing I glittered was my iPhone case. I had a freebie case that I wasn't using from when Apple was giving out free cases (because of the antenna issue). *A note on the tea light holders, you can still use tea lights in them even with the glitter, just get the battery operated ones.

31 Insanely Easy And Clever DIY Projects. How to make gift bags from newspaper. When I bought something at a store recently, the clerk handed me my purchase in a bag made from a newspaper. I liked it very much and had to make some more—thus today's DIY recycled newspaper project: gift bags made from the Wall Street Journal.
You can vary the dimensions, of course, but here's what I used to create a bag that's 5" tall, 4.5" wide, and 3" deep. Stack two sheets of newspaper on top of each other. This will be a two-ply bag for extra sturdiness. Cut out a rectangle that's 15.5" wide and 8.25" tall. Fold a flap 1.25" down from the top. Cut two pieces of cardstock or chipboard to 4.25" x 1", then glue them on the widest two panels just under the top fold. Put glue on the outside of the 0.5" tab and bring the left-most panel over to form the body of the bag, aligning the cut edge of the panel with the folded edge of the flap. Upend the bag so the 2" flap is now up. Put glue on both flaps and fold them inward to form the bottom of the bag.
