Storing teas idea in Crafts for decorating and home decor Using a shelf in your kitchen, this project can be ideal for you to order all kinds of tea we usually buy and do not know how organize them. Just need a shelf (if you do not have them, the model Ribba from Ikea is perfect), 3 glass jars with lids (you can use spray paint over them if you're interested), 3 short screws, two hooks for cups, a screwdriver and drill. Paint the lids with spray, let them dry and make a hole in the center with the help of the drill. Mark a on the shelf with a pencil where you'll want to place the glass jars and hooks for cups. Secure the lids to the shelf in the area marked with the screws and the rack to the wall according to instructions. And finally, what we like best: fill glass jars with your favorite teas, the mugs and place your tea accessories above the shelf.

Creative Kismet » Blog Archive » little guiding stars Since the new year has started I’ve been trying to think of ways to be more kind to my self. Especially when that nasty gremlins try to creep in and stump me. I remembered this origami star video on You Tube and had to get them involved in my plan. I thought it would be fun to make a whole bunch with kind words and “you are….” phrases inside. I made 60 of them, enough to last me the whole year if I open one a week, plus a few extra just in case. I used 12 x 12 inch scrapbook paper and cut 1/2 x 12″ strips, then followed the video HERE*. *UPDATE! Be Sociable, Share!

marble magnets I finally gave in and made marble magnets. Not surprisingly they are quite fun, smooshing the glue out to make a perfect little magnified image is very satisfying.
