Gift Ideas for poor creative souls (1)
Posted by: Cathy on Apr 22, 2010 Tagged in: Untagged Having just spent hours in the garden, I thought this idea was perfect for this time of year. I know in the US they will celebrate mother's day on the second Sunday in May, so this gift is perfect and really inexpensive. This idea comes courtesy of Giver's Log. The intent of seed tape is to make planting easier when you have teeny tiny seeds that need to be planted just inches apart (like carrots and radishes). Here’s what you’ll need: -1/4 cup flour + enough water to make a paste -strips of paper to make the tape: black and white newspaper (no colored ink), single-ply toilet paper, and a thin paper bag all work -something for dabbing on drops of the paste, like the back of a paint brush -and seeds! You can also add a pretty flower to your boxes to pretty them up a bit. For tutorials on how to market yourself online, go here.

how to turn your corks into candles
This week we turned a corner from warm days, full flowers, and late spring into full fledged summer vacation. We’ve been drafting up our summer bucket list, looking at all the amazing places to swim around Reno like here, and here, as well as starting fires out back! I have a few festive Fourth of July projects coming up, but first this simple little trick will take you happily through the many summer evenings ahead – and it only has two steps. Finish your wine and collect corks. Then soak them in a capped mason jar filled with aceatone alcohol for a week. Light them up and enjoy making the easiest candle there ever could be.

A stockpiling reminder for all as we use our last roll of toilet paper… | Printable Manufacturers Grocery Coupons Blog
A stockpiling reminder for all as we use our last roll of toilet paper… Yes, I am down to the last roll of toilet paper in our home. I’m such a shame to the couponer’s race, I know! But here’s the thing… I haven’t seen a stockpile price I’m satisfied with recently. Toilet paper is one of those things most American use regularly. Wait for the sale to come at the rock bottom price.Buy enough at that price to get you through the next sales cycle.If you are unsure of when the next sales cycle will occur, start keeping a price book to understand.Most sales cycle through every 6-12 weeks. Now, if you don’t see the desired stockpile price and you have a need, buy what you need to tide you over. My stockpile price for toilet paper is $0.25 per roll. Toilet paper is one of those things I don’t want to get down to the last roll to purchase. Was is one of your necessities that you can’t run out of? Check out the Seedling Planter tutorial from Girl in Studio which the image above was taken from!

Christmas tree ornament mobile, how-to
Here is how I made my Christmas tree ornament mobile, it was easier than it looks, promise. The Supplies a 17″ steamer rack from a restaurant supply storeabout 5 feet of lightweight jack chaina small carabiner100 basic ornament hooksone roll, 500 feet, monofilament jewelry string (not the stretchy sort)200 jewelry crimp beads or tubesjewelry crimping tool100 lanyard hooks100 ornaments Note: In the photo above I show earring wire instead of ornament hooks. Creating the Mobile Frame Creating the frame for my ornament tree mobile turned out to be fairly simple. For the top of the mobile I needed something that would allow me to easily secure a lot of hanging points without them sliding around too much. Turn the rack upside down and the spots where the legs were secured neatly become four hanging points. I bought some inexpensive jack chain to use for hanging. I joined the chains using another lanyard hook, and put that on a little carabiner which hung from the hook in the ceiling.
Spring Gifts: How to Make Seed Tape Strips
Last spring while perusing seed catalogs and my local garden centers, I came across seed tape strips. These thin strips of paper are dotted with perfectly spaced seeds, reducing the need to thin seedlings. Intrigued, I decided to make my own for a fraction of the cost. First, I have to confess. I didn't invent this craft. I actually googled it a few months ago and came across a dozen really wonderful tutorials. How to Make Seed Strip Tape (or Salad in a Tin) These little Salads in a Tin make a perfect gift for the budding gardener in your life. Mandy Dawson can also be found blogging away In Mandyland.

Woven Denim Rug or Trivet DIY Tutorial
Many, many years ago, I went on a rag rug kick and starting cutting all the fabric I could find into strips—nothing was safe. This lead me to cutting up a bag full of secondhand denim jeans. But after I had created hundreds of yards of 1″ wide denim strips, the obsession fizzled out. (The fact that I realized crocheting denim was much different than crocheting a lighter cotton helped the joy fade.) So, for all these years I’ve had stacks of rolls of 1″ wide denim strips I had no idea what to do with. It’s all pretty simple and the technique is fairly obvious (who didn’t learn to weave paper like this in kindergarten?) I made two. The other was made the same way except I cut new strips of denim at 3″ wide, then folded and ironed each side (lengthwise) back 3/4″. This style object can be used as: a trivet or hot pad (just sandwich a couple layers of cotton batting in there) a table runner or mat placemats coasters a rug a wall hanging pet dish mat Can you think of any other clever uses?
