DIY Paper Plate Basket Tutorial - Sarah Hearts

Update:: I made a video tutorial for this DIY. Check it out below! Last night I download the July issue of Martha Stewart Living on my iPad. I didn’t get too far into the issue as I skimmed it’s pages until I fell asleep. They had a link to summer crafts and I was surprised to see several new cute tutorials. The following directions are based on the craft from Martha Stewart. I can’t wait to serve appetizers and desserts in these!

Read It and Weep - 16 Repurposed and Recycled Books

Will I never achieve such creative genius as this? Time to read it and weep...not the ugly cry - it's a happy sob (sigh)! Oh what some people can do with a recycled book or two. Like this painting on a wall of books! A wall of books! This work is a jaw-dropping WOW for me! There are other repurposed book finds that have also caught my attention lately.

Marcy Bates with Recycled Reads (also on Etsy) used to own a book store - which may be where she fine-tuned her skills of turning books into typographical works of art. I'm a huge fan of using book pages for art and illustration - and one of my favorite in this genre is Carambatack Design out of Norway. This is definitely something I would carry! You might remember these perfect little repurposed book shelves that I featured in the Repurposed DIY for Everyone post. Favorite places? You really must see the work of Littlefly to believe it. Now I leave you with this thought. Stumble this post.

Make an awesome Harry Potter wand from a sheet of paper and glue gun glue

This is such a simple but effective instructable. With a sheet of paper, some glue and a bit of paint, and about 40 minutes to spare this instructable will show you how you can make a Harry Potter type wand that would not look out of place in the film itself. I designed it and I have already made a load for my kids, even my girlfriend and her 18 year old daughter and her boyfriend wanted one each! For the frist few stages I have drawn pictures of what you have to do and then for the painting part I have taken photos to show you exactly what to do. It's very simple but the effect is fantastic.

How-to: make an origami Koi. Vively Online: A Pretty Free Project - Paper Medallion Wall Hanging. "If you really wanted to, we could go and purchase some of the furniture brand new, you know", said my husband, as he sees me pick up yet another project. It's true. My husband brings in over 90% of the household income, and we have learned how to make do with this arrangement. We've learned to save on somethings, and splurge on others. If we really wanted to, we could put aside money for furniture, home decorations and the "frivolous". I could annoy myself and everyone else, by saying that I'd rather spend that money on my kid's piano and martial arts lessons, but deep down I know that it's a LIE. The truth is, that when I put time and effort into something that I make, the joy (and pride?) Makes me smile each time I look at it. I would have been happy to buy something like that. So, you know that High and Low comparisons that you sometimes see in magazines.
