Repurpose: Old records / LPs / Vinyl Today, a few more vinyl refabs because apparently I can't get enough. Look closely at the accessory stands above. Those are sewing machine bobbins! We've all seen Paul Villinski's famous 2008 butterfly installations. I see these all over Etsy etc. Combine old 45s and vintage tea towels to create original retro wall art. Or, combine a vinyl decal and your old LPs to re-create a well-known Banksy installation! Vinyl bookends. Yay! I'm a sucker for whimsy ... and I love spinning tops. No roundup of vinyl repurposes is complete without a bowl tutorial right? And once you've mastered the bowl, isn't this vinyl chandelier fantastic? Earring storage! I spotted these vinyl switch plates at Werecords by Monkey.
DIY Wooden Heart - Morning Creativity I´ve had a bag full of ice pop sticks for quite some time without figuring out what to make of them.

DIY Pencil Holder - Morning Creativity Reuse your empty toilet paper rolls and make a pencil holder! Use a glue stick and attach newspaper to the rolls.

Today I am sharing a super simple, easy and fun DIY with you and I can tell you now this might be addicting and you might find your whole house covered in stamps after this! Let me just tell you that I love DIY so much I made cork stamps for it! How? What you need:old wine cork (real ones - the plastic ones work too but aren't as good as the real cork ones)craft scalpel or something similar to itink pad or acrylic paint and a brush Think of a fun and easy little stamp that you would like to make. I love some good and fun fonts so I decided to make a fun version of "I" and carve an "H" into the cork. And then the fun began when I started stamping with my cork stamp. You could also do "I love her", "I love him", "I love my husband", "I love my hair" - the possibilities are all pretty fun! Do you love to DIY then make yourself a couple of these!
Lego Kleenex Box Cover Tutorial “This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Kleenex but all my opinions are my own. #KleenexAllergy #pmedia Every year I think that come fall I’m going to feel so much better. Add in the fact that I also live with kitties, who I’m kind of, sort of technically allergic to and well, bring the Kleenex on already. And while Kleenex has a pretty good assortment of boxes that are pretty and match my decor I thought it might be fun to whip up a tissue box cover that I could take down to my nephews. For this project you will need: rectangular box of Kleenex from Target (check out this great coupon for a freebie!) Now for whatever reason I simply could NOT find a rectangular tissue box cover and I looked all over town. Take your heavy duty cardboard (not corrugated but thick and smooth) and measure out the shapes you see above. Trim as well as you can will a very sharp X-acto knife and ruler. Voila!

I thought it would be prettier, so I spray painted the caps (be sure to use non-toxic paint). Me pareció que iba a ser más bonito pintar los tapones con aerosol (tengan en cuenta de utilizar una pintura no tóxica). Je trouvais ça plus joli, donc j'ai peint les bouchons avec un spray (attention veillez à utiliser de la peinture non toxique). Et voila!

It’s okay- you are not alone. You are not a hoarder. You are savvy. You knew the day would come when you would need them. I’m happy to announce: today is that day! So I admit, I was collecting wine corks for about two years before I actually used them for something. A Very Vegan Engagement Party Before I get to the tutorial, I want to fill you in on our wedding planning. Not only was the location perfect, but my sister loaded up the spread with vegan food.
