Recycled Keys
I have a planter box outside my door where each year I plant my herb garden. I’m not crazy about those little plastic markers that come with the potted herbs, so I decided to make a set of my own. Luck would have it that I had been given a big container full of keys, and so these recycled key plant markers were born!
Making Fused Plastic
March 12th, 2013 I’ve been wanting to experiment with fused plastic for ages so what better place to try it out than here on Tutorial Tuesday and share my experiences with you. I’ve got lots of plastic bags stored in the kitchen from a few online supermarket deliveries we’ve done since Milo was born and I’ve just never got round to taking them back to the supermarkets for recycling.
DIY TRAVEL ART ROLL « Rajovilla
For the amount of time the kids and I create and use art supplies, I have yet to make a travel case. We usually put supplies in a resuable zipper bag and grab our sketchbooks. Now we are in the middle of summer with everyone traveling on vacation in need of small activities to take along. I decided to give it a go and make a travel art supplies roll as a gift and specifically for painting supplies. I didn’t follow any directions myself while making this for my niece’s 7th birthday, but after I measured and remeasured I came up with a “map” of sorts to follow along. This is not a detailed step by step, because it really is just a lot of measuring and then some simple sewing.
8 Clever Uses for Plastic Straws
Have you ever pried a straw out of the mouth of a young child, only to find it macerated and dripping in saliva? Let’s all let out a collective “eeeewww.” In general, my “clever uses” articles are meant to teach people how to get a second use out of something disposable. In the case of straws, I’m honestly going to have to suggest that you be very picky about which straws you reuse. I really don’t expect anyone to reuse chewed up, spit-covered drinking straws. Now: It is not too gross to wash plastic drinking straws and save them for DIY projects.

Jar Label
Although having three children has forced me to ease up a bit, I have OCD at heart. How do I know this? When the IKEA catalog gets delivered I have to stop what I'm doing and flip through it- cover to cover. I drool over organizational products. I've always wanted to have one of those pantries that has all the food stored in glass jars and practically alphabetized.

Gift Wrap Holder
I have told you a few times about my friends in Cincinnati…they live in this gorgeous old home. Chris had these really old pocket doors that she found in the cellar…and was at a loss for what to do with them. I have had them in my garage for about 2 years…no joke (hubs has been super happy to have them in there too…or not…) Any who, I knew they could be something purposeful again…I just wasn’t sure what it would be…until now….
